a
HAINES' CLAIM OH
ORIENTAL SERVICE
DENIED BY BOARD
1 ..
to
Washington. Sept.; Zl. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
Shipping board officials today failpd to
confirm a tatemeu$ by A. F. Haines,
vice president and general manager, of
the I'aclfio SUamanlp company, that
two ships leased by that company under
bare boat charter will become available
for service between Portland and the
Orient At the shipping board offices tt
was said negotiations have not been
nnauy approved for the two ships re
ferred to by Haines.
It- Is expected that the deal will be
concluded, but limited by charter for
carrying- wheat from Puget Sound to
Europe. After that, date will be
matter for future consideration. It was
mads clear that the shipping board re
tains control over the service of Its Bhips
through charter limitations, and that the
pacific Steamship Interests cannot oner-
ate out of the tolumbla river unless fur
ther action is taken permitting them
do so.
The Admiral Line does not Intend to
retire from the Columbia river, but ex
pects later on to operate vessels between
Portland and the Orient, and has already
leased two ships under bareboat charter
from the shipping board which it is free
to use outside, the allocation program.
according to the statement of A.
Haines.
Haines said he had arranged for bare
boat charter for two 9600 ton ships "the
way they ought to be chartered." he
Mid, "and the flrrt the board has signed
under the bareboat form."
First cargoes for these ships will
grain from the Northwest to Europe,
Sid. but after that the ships will
available for the Portland-Orient serv
lee. It la expected still others will be
leased, he said, but the schedule upon
which they will run is undecided. Nor
have the boats yet been named.
"The shipping board decided to allo
cate In future to the Columbia-Pacific
at Portland, as you know," said Haines,
"and told us to quit. Portland business
Interests, mistakenly as we believe, sup
ported the Columbia-Pacific. We have
decided to stay in the game, however,
and this bareboat leasing is the start"
