THIRTEEN AND ONE-THIRD PER CENT INCREASE ON CARLOAD SHIPMENTS OF PICKLED FI8H HENCE TO THE EAST-WILL BE RESISTED. There is a bit of discord prevalent in the cold-storage element of the fishing industry as it exists in As toria, due to the announcement that Western Transcontinental Association has apprised the shippers and export ers, here that in the very near future the freight rate on carload lot of pickled fish, hence to the East, will be increased in the following ratio: "When shipped in common box cars, 85 cent per hundred pound." "When shipped in refrigerator cars, 100 cents per hundred pounds." This word has come to the big plants here and hereabout, direct from F. H. Fogarty, A, G. P. A. of the Northern Pacific Railway, at Seattle, and is based upon "verbal authorizations" given that official by the Western Transcontinental Asso ciation aforesaid. Our heaviest exporters here do not take at all kindly to the raw advance of 10 cents per hundred over the rates that have prevailed for so long, and will protest vigorously and unan imously against its application. To them it looks very much like cinch ing them up for the local rate hence to Portland, and even the layman takes the same unfriendly view of the matter. This is strenuously denied, however, by the railway people, who claim that the advance extends to the Puget Sound shipping points as well; and this is being looked into by the men next in interest here. No good reason is assigned by Mr. Fogarty for the advance, and his statements in this relation are taken somewhat in the light of "feelers" to determine the temper wherewith such a raw increase will be taken by these men who ship thousands of tons of such produce out of here yearly. The matter will be investigated and con tended against to the bitter end.
