RAILROADS MAY
MAKE GENERAL INCREASE.
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.
