REMEDY IS SLATED
Crops May Come West, to Be

EMPTIES WOULD BE USED
Congestion at Great Lakes Gate
way Would He Relieved in
Practical Manner.
OTtBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, . Aug. 14. Plans for a
heavier movement of ' crrain from
eastern Montana and the western Da
le otas to north Pacific ports as a
means of relieving the congestion at
the ''great lanes gateway appear to
be ttnder consideration by the inter
state' commerce commission. The sug
gestion was first made during the
week by Commissioner Aitchison at a
hearing of representatives of the
grain-growing sections of Montana.
North and South Dakota. Iowa. Ne
braska and Minnesota, who were
clamoring for more cars and for a
readjustment of rail and water rates
to make easier the movement of the
crops.
All transcontinental rail .Lnes serv
ing the Pacific, especially those of the
Pacific northwest, have a heavy empty
movement to the west. A practical
way of filling out this empty move
ment appears to have been afforded
in the Aitchison suggestion..
W. B. Uodu Makes Speech.
"This sage suggestion, of the sim
plest and most practical order, came
from the Oregon member of the com
mission as something of a bombshell
for the particular element then before
the rate body," said W. B. Dodson.
t manager of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce. .
"Many persons who are interested
in moving wheat solely to the east
ward were present. That movement
has been the custom. Certain busi
ness has been built up on that custom.
Certain persons are interested In
that business. If the natural and
pract'eal thing of making this wheat
move to the Pacific and there take
ships through Panama canal to
Kurope. were adopted, some of these
individuals might have to change
their systems. '
"However, commissioner Aitchison's
suggestions went deep into the mincte
of some of the powers that be. It is
declared impossible to get cars for
some of this cereal from what the
east calls the northwest, even to
tvaul it to the head of the great
lakes, where ships with a, capacity of
75,000 cars at a single voyage are
engaged in the ore and coal trade.
Cars have to be sent to the Pacific
northwest for its vital needs. These
cars go with a heavy percentage
empty en route. Coal from Utah,
cement from that intermediate terri
tory, phosphate rock from eastern
Idaho, and other commodities have
been nursed to get a partial loading
to th Pacific short line.
.' Ocean Tonnage Discussed.
"Prior to the war. rates were befng
made on wheat from parts of Mon
tana and Utah and Wyoming, to help
this westbound empty movement.
Commissioner Aitchison suggests that
the., same principle be extended and
wheat that is now declared impos
sible of movement otherwise be taken
out of the middle west for the Pa
cific ships. As. cereal rates on sh'os
through the Panama canal has dropped
from $28. to $20 lately, and under
competitive conditions may drop
further, ocean tonnage conditions In
vite execution of the commissioner's
suggestion. .
"In all the rate hearings here the
empty movement westbound on the
North Pacific transcontinental lines
has been an Important consideration.
Prior to the war, the Union Pacific
said its empty movement at Hunting
ton was 30 per cent westbound. Dur
ing the war, when enormous timber,
lumber and wheat shipments were
coming out- of the Pacific northwest
this, empty movement westbound was
said to have climbed to 41 and even
60 per cent at times.
Federal Control -Reviewed.
"It must be a great factor of the fu
ture. In one year under government
control 220,000 cars of lumber and
shingles were shipped from Oregon
and .Washington east of a line drawn
through Montana, Wyoming and Utah.
This is a bulk commodity. Vast in
creases in this movement are sure for
the future, when Oregon pine reaches
the Mississippi river on a rate enab
ling It to capture that business from
the yellow pine trade of the south.
It is but a few years off because of
the drain of the lumber business In
the south, and the rapid growth in
the Pacific northwest.
"Then experts declare that 500.000
and 600.000 cars of lumber products
from this region annually will prob
ably be less than normal. Then tha
loading back to the Pacific becomes
imperative, if eastbound rates are not
made prohibitive. Commissioner Ait
chison, in trying to point out the solu
tion for a temporary emergency, may
Be pointing- tne way for great or per
manent relief of the highest Impor
tance to the railways of the north
west and to the Pacific ports."
