Shippers Complain Here of Lack of
Intercoastal Boats; Chamber Asked
To Protest Sales of US Steamships
Action by the Salem chamber of commerce and individ
uals was urged yesterday by W. 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. It is apparent that Ut
tle concern is being given the
manufacturer of northwest prod
ucts as to Just how he will market

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.

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."
