Arrangements to this effect are being made. Ih the course of his talk Mr. Wen, says he epoke merely as a private citizen; expressed sympathy for Uma tilla county's fight against the Wallula Cutoff. He presented the view that the cutoff wilt cause tourist traffic to bo diverted from Walla Walla also. . tr. M.' S. Kern presided at the luncheon today and in the Introduction ot Mr. Loundsbury paid a generous compliment to that official. ' The Itate Subject In his address Mr. Lounsbury said In part: ' ' ''It Is. appreciated that many ship pers, an well as the public generally, hvn very little knowledge of freight ratta ,nnd for that reason '( is not to be wondered at that the application of the carriers to the interstate commerce commission for 4th Section relief should bo misunderstood. ",In the , first placo, It has been staled through the press that the car riers' application will affect all trans continental freight: rates. Tills Is not true,1 as the application covers the making of westbound trans-continental rates on only a. limited number' of heavy commodities, such as Iron and steel articles, canned goods, wire foods, paper, soap, etc.. which by their nature constitute freight that is now belnf transported by water from tho Atlantic) and Gulf ports through the Panama canal to Pacific coast ports. 'It has. also been stated through the press that this application of the re roads la prompted by coast cities to give coast terminals privileged rates at the expense of the Interior. This statement is not true for the reason that coast cities how have lower rates via? the steamship lines than the rail carriers are asking for;. that the appli ration of the rail carriers is prompted by .their desire to participate In the transportation of freight which has been lost to them, and Is now moving through 'the canal. As previously Mated, the coast cities are now enjoy ing the privilege' of low water rates, and will continue to so enjoy this prlv. lle; whether tho mil carriers partici pate In tho movement or not. .
