Doth of tho big lumbor companies n Uonil aro unauorauiy opposcu 10 tho Esch plan of fixing lumber frteght wive, according to utute ments mado this morning by T. A. jltCann, of Tho Shovlln-HIxon Com pany, and Harry K. Brooks, of tho Drooks-Scanlon Lumbor Co. Tholr objections havo bcon fllod with tho Western Pino Manufacturers Assoc iation, to bo presented to tho Inter state Commorco Commission through that organization. Would lilt Bend MIIK Tho basis of tuo Esch plan Is tho fixing of C0,000 pounds as tho avur- oeo car loud of lumber, and making no distinction between kinds, giving a reduced rato on cnrloads abovo that weight, and exacting a higher rato on loads of less tnan tnut amount. Tho sponsor of tho plan Is Fred Ksch, of Washington, D. C, exam iner for tho commission. Jlr. llrooks dcclnred this morning that tho chief objection to tho plan Is tho fact that It would dlscrlmlnuto between heavy and light woods, plac lug tho advantngo with tho producer of tho heavier lumber. "Tiio plan Isn't practical, and wouldn't work out." ho Bald. "Tho shipper of light lumber might havo a carload of 48,- 000 pounds, and would bo charged tho 40,000 pound high rato for It, wlillo tho manufacturer shipping a 52,000 pound load would get tho benefit of tho lower rato." Old Rata to Hold. Mr. McCann's objections wero based on virtually tho sama grounds. "Tho ltcnd white plno manufacturers would bo discriminated against In favor of tho fir producers. Wo aro certainly opposed to tho Esch plan, but our objections aro being handled through tho association," ho said.
