General Manager Dodaon thla after'
noon wired the Chamber of Commerce
from Washington that he bad beearad-
vlaed by W, J. Love, vice president of
tha shipping board, that curtailment or

Dodsc-n, that the board bad not con

had previoualy . directed Ebey, aho is
- coast manager, to bring about consolida
tion of cargoes aa rapidly as possible.
Ebey la now In Washington and was
there when Minor issued) tha order to
- which Portland buslneaa has objected.
While Portland continues to deluge
tha officials of the shipping board. In
an Intensive storm of protest against
curtailment of merchant marine service
out of .till port, the business men them
selves are being swamped with a treat
mans of contradictor statements so
they are now unable to determine just
where they stand.
From Washington the advice comes
from W. D. B. Dodaon, general mana-
' ger .of the Chamber of Commerce, that
tha ahlpping board bunch Is hard-boiled
and doea not care about politics or any
thins else but cold business."
SITUATION MUDDLED
But in Portland the business men are
beginning to believe that the shipping
board is taking cognisance of politics
, and forgetting all about business. So
the deluge of telegrams between this
city and the national capital continues.
Everybody is muddled on the situation
because a positive order has been re
ceived frem H. H. Ebey, district direc
tor of operations for the shipping board.

Columbia-Pacific Shipping company and
the turning over of ita business to - the
Pacific Steamship company and because.
. despite the actual receipt of the order,

such action has been taken.

Ebey's order says that beginning Oc

the Columbta-Paclflo company to its
competitor must be made, while the
Chamber of Commerce received a mes
sage from former Senator George E.
Chamberlain, member of th board from
Oregon, saying that "committments of
the Columbia-Pacific company during
-the balance of the year will be fulfilled."
