T. Jenks, manager of the Wil lamette Valley Prune association to fight the withdrawal of intercoastal shipping services, which are being restricted more and more by sale or lease of ships to foreign nations. "One can not secure space on any of the lines for the next six or Beven weeks." JeaksO declared in a letter to the cfaam ler. "This condition means much to the ahlpping industry of this city, and of the state, and we feel that load protest should be lod ged with our senators, congress men and the maritime commission to prohibit farther sales of ton nage from this intercoastal run." Enlarging on bis letter, Jenks declared In a further statement that hundreds, possibly thousands of tons, of local products were be ing held up due to inability of agents here to contract cargo space on steamships bound for At lantic coast ports. .Sales Iteplored Products he said were affected include canned goods, paper, brine cherries, dried fruit, ply wood, lumber, wool, seed and wood pulp. "As the days go by it becomes more certain that the transporta tion companies owning steamers serving the Pacific coast territory and the Atlantic via the Panama Canal are endeavoring to unload their ships either through sale di rect to foreign governments or by chartering sueh ships lor use in foreign trade routes in order to recoup some of the losses exper ienced daring the past years of operation.

Accessories include red silk gloves and tan leather handbag. his goods in the future, when tak ing into consideration that the cheaper rates offered by the steamer lines have created mar kets which in turn encouraged in dividuals to build canneries, dried fruit plants, paper mills, woolen mills, and many other industries, who in turn employ labor. "The situation is steadily grow ing worse, and unless some con centrated action is taken by all in terested parties we will very soon find that we are without inter coastal service to take care of the shipping demands of the products grown and the items manufac tured in this great northwestern area. Many I.lnefl Involved At this writing it is definitely known the American - Hawaiian, Panama-Pacific lines, McCormick Steamship company, Quaker Steamship company. Arrow Steamship company, H a m m ond Steamships and Gulf Pacific lines have either curtailed or discon tinued their service because of the sales of some ships of their fleet, and in some cases all of their ships. "It is practically Impossible to secure space for the forwarding of consignments to ports of call lo cated at Baltimore, Md., Charles ton, Jacksonville. Norfolk, Sav annah, Wilmington, Dela., and Wilmington, NC, located south of Salem. Or. MiOB Baltimore, or what is known as south Atlantic territory. Now in the gulf territory service has been curtailed, due to the fact that the Gulf Pacific line discontinued its service, selling its entire fleet. This line formerly served gulf ports such- as Beaumont, Tex., Corpus Christi, Houston, Lake Charles, Mobile, New Orleans, Panama City, Tampa, Fla. There are, however, two remaining lines serving this last named territory, but the ports of call are restrict ed, the lines being the Lukenbach Gulf SS Co. Inc., and the Isthmian line. These two lines serve the ports of Tama, Fla., Mobile, Ala., New Orleans, La., and Houston, Tex., with sailings every two weeks. "However, offerings from the gulf territory to the Pacific coast are far in excess of what these steamers can carry. This is also true of the offerings from the Pa cific coast territory to the gulf territory. Similar In East "Now going back to ths Atlan tic picture, the situation is very much the same. At the present time intercoastal lines are not in a position to accept and clear all merchandise offered. Our exper ience is tnat we have to antic!- : pate our clearance anywhere from j 3 0 days to six weeks, and the same picture is true of merchan dise on the Atlantic coast coming to the Pacific coast. It is hard tot' say just wnat might happen if we lose our intercoastal carriers, and it is high time that something be done bring pressure to bear to stop the sale of these ships. 'It is obvious that if we can not market our commodities un der this uncertain setup, we cer tainly do not know what to do as to preparing plans for the 1940 crop. It will eventually involve the employment situation in this territory, as well as the entire northwest. These conditions should be referred to our senators and congressmen in Washington also to the maritime commission by all who are interested in ship ping our products to the gulf and Atlantic ports."
