r 1 I; THE OREGON - DAILY JOURNAL'; PORTLAND, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1918, r7 HINAL CITIES AT DISADVANTAGE IN DISTRIBUTION Competition of Ship via Panama Canal Practically Removed ''A . Until Close of tffe War. PREFERENTIAL RATES AT END ' Traffic Officials Await Full Text of Ruling to Determine How ' Trade May Be Affected. The advantage of Pacific coaat termi nal rltlea aa distributing centers for the Intermountain territory caiTonly be aa- enrel by water competition with trans continental railroad lines. This la the opinion of F. W. Robinson, traffic man- . ajter of the O-W. R. A N. company, com menting an the order of tee Interstate ommeroe commission abolishing: prefer ential rates to coaat terminals. ' "Portland and other coast cities will be placed at a temporary disadvantage In competition with Spokane and other I Intermountaln points In wholesale and 1 jobbing business if the ruling of the Interstate commerce commission an nounced yesterday becomes effective on Marjfh IS as planned." said Mr. Robjn Hon. "and the-only way in which the . coast cities can hope to maintain a per manent advantage In this field is, by establishing water competition with the . roads, via the. Panama canal." The ruling passed yesterday by -the Interstate commerce commission was the r.pplEcatlon made last August by the transcontinental lines for a raise in frehrht rates from points east of the Mis souri river to Pacific coast terminals, the proposed rate -beings equal : to that charged to points In the intermountaln territory.- The lower rate to ithe coast terminals was made to meet the water competition, and the new rate was pro posed by the roads because theremoval of shipping from trade routes between the Pacific and Atlantic seaboards dur ing the European war destroyed this . competition. Hearings were had on the proponed . rate In New York" on October B, Chicago October 12 and Portland October II. Portland shippers, represented by John H. Liathrop of the Portland Traffic, and Transportation axaoclatlon, and shippers from other coast cities, protested the application of the new rate at these hearings. The interstate commerce commission liaa. had the matter under advisement cince the date of the final hearing and yesterday announced that the new freight rates asked for ry the transcontinental , lines had been granted on carload ship ments. The full text of the ruling has not been received from the Interstate commerce commission and it! is not . known what, exceptions were made. Secretary - Lathrop of the Portland Traffie and Transportation association stated this morning that it is improbable that any action wll! be taken py Port land Jobbers and shippers in protesting . the ruling of the commission. I "The establishment of shipping lines via the Panama canal in competition .with the railroads Is th only Solution of . the difficulty,' so far as Portland is con cerned," said Mr. Lathrop. "That, how ever. seems Impossible aithls time. I believe that with the declaration of peace water competition will be resumed - and the roads will go back tp. the old rates.'!. . It -fa doubted by many railroad offi cials jthat the change In rates wilt "seriously-disturb the wholesale and Jobbing . .business now established between Port- . land and Ihtermountain points. The . profits in most lines, they say, will easily absorb the difference In freight rate. '. ! The effect on the shipbuilding indus try. It is said, will be to favor wooden ships, so far aa private - enterprise Is concerned. Companies bulldlqg steel ships for the government will ' be pro tected by' their contracts .from' loss on account of the raise in freight rates on steel-from Pittsburg and Chicago. The ..government, it is said, will be obliged to stand the extra expense; Railroad officials are generally non wirilttV as to the effects of the ne mllng. The action of congress in fixing the earnings of! the roads during the period' of government control is being awaited as a basis for further rato .commendations on the' part! of' the toads.-. , i . ... - Piles Cared la 6 to 14 Days Truraists refund money it PAZO OINT MENT falls to cure Itching.
