Eastern Railroad Presidents' Will Combine to Put Widespread Rate Advances Into Effect Determined Resistance From Commercial Bodies. An organized attempt by eastern railroad managers to effect a whole sale advance of freight rates has aroused widespread alarm and pro test, says the Oregon Daily Journal. While no open action has been taken in the Pacific northwest in opposition to the movement. Oregon commercial bodies and shippers have not been inactive, and a determined resistance lo the raise is being organized. The eastern railroad presidents re cently came into the open and have declared that they will carry the pro posed increase into effect, and that the interstate commerce commission will be powerless to prevent it. The movement has reached a stage where an- outburst of popular indignation Is siircaflinir over the country. Commer cial interests are forming comblna tions to exert the united influence of the country's business men against the advance of rates. A telegram received In Portland from Chicago advises local lumber manufacturing Interests that the lum ber shippers of the middle west and northwest are up in arms, and that united art Ion will be taken. The rail road presidents have been asked to withdraw the advanced rates until Oc tober. A large meeting of shippers representing the entire western coun try, will be held at Chicago May 15. It Is admitted that the interstate commerce commission and state rall v ay commissions have no powers that can be used effectively under present lawn to prevent the railroads from carrying the proposed increase Into effect. It was to prevent Just such action by the railroad companies that the Fulton amendment was offered In the present congress. , This amendment to the, interstate commerce law wag originated by the lumber manufacturers and Wielr at torneys. They proposed that no rail road should be allowed to Increase an established rate until after the In crease had first been submitted to the Interstate commerce commission and the shippers given a hearing In op position to the advance. Had this amendment become a law the railroads could not carry the threatened general increase Into effect until it had been threshed out before the commission and approved -by that body, and then given a final hearing In the courts, where appeal could have bten made by the railroads. WANT CHEAPER CARS. Caixten's Packing Coniany Seeks Ro . lief From Railroad Charges. A Salem dispatch says: The Carstens Packing company of Tacoma has communicated with the railroad commission to solicit the aid of the commission of this state In se curing more favorable rates fr live stock between California and Wash ington. Within the states of Oregon and Washington the railroads will furnish single-decked cars for livestock wlth c ut extra charge If double-decked cars are not available when the order Is received. This advantage Is also grant ed between California and Oregon, probably because of the Oregon-Call- j fornia system of the Southern Pacific, for It Is not a general rule In Inter state commerce. The rule does not exist as between California and Washington. This Is very much In favor of Oregon pack ers, because much livestock is brought to both Wshington and Oregon from California. An extra charge is im posed If It Is necessary to substitute two single-deck cars for one double deck car. The Washington packers want the Oregon railroad commission to assist the Washington commission in bring ing the matter before the interstate commerce commission so that the rule of substituting single-decked cars for double-deckers without extra charge may prevail in all interstate carrying.
