in 190$ the fight for lower freight
rates on wool started. That .year the
Oregon railroad commission filed a com-4-

commission. A hearing was held, but
' the Matter was .not decided. . In 1911 the
filed a complaint with the interstate

wooolgrowlng states to the eastern mar

commerce commission broadened out the
Investigation to. cover all the wool pro

was .cone Into. Hearings were held ail
.1,. a fmm Pn.inn tt Portland, ad
the hearings reached markets as weu as
the nroducinc sections.
Findings were made by the Interstate
- commerce commission, in, 1912,,. In this
opinion the commission found that wool
thou 1 be ' classified " ltt the western
classification as fourth class In carload
lots instead of second diss.' This would
mean a material reduction in the freight
rates.! But the railroads In -the west
failed, to comply with this opinion, 1
ririt Order Hurts Portland. ; .
The Oregon commission began to
press the Interstate commerce commis
sion for an enforcement of the sug
gested rates. As the railroads were
strongly ' protesting,; another hearing
. h.M (n nnver. and as a result the
commission adhered to Its ruling and
held that a fourth class rate should ap
1 ply en the westbound wool tn carload
When the railroads finally filed tar
iffs in conformity with this ruling, they
' did not apply the new , rates to wool
shipped tn Oregon. - The Oregon, com
mission Insisted that the rates should
apply to the Interstate shipments as
well as to the Bhlnments east.- The rail-
" roads wanted 'to block the growers In
eastern Orecon from shipping to port'
land and then shipping their wool to
. the eastern markets by water. ,
Members of the state railroad, com
mission insisted there were three par
ticular reasons why the railroads should
give just as low rates on westbound
' shipments , of ' wool as on eastbound.
; They were? , First, that, the grower has
a right to a reasonable rate westbound,
the same as eastbound, and he should
have the right to ship his wool to Port
land and ship from there by watet if
he wanted to; seoond, . there are seven
woolen -mills In Oregon which are In
ah.rn .i AmnikMtlAn with .- th MBtarit
mills, and all draw their wool from
, the same source of supply; third, there
Is a movement under way for the de
velopment of Portland as a primary
market for the distribution of wool, and
a project for building a great warehouse
has been smoldering for two- years
awaiting the time, when there . would be
more certainty about the freight rates.
