Portland, Seattle Subsidies Set Back Portland (U.R) The battle of Portland and Seattle to ob tain subsidized cargo loadings in competition with San Fran cisco has received a setback, ac cording to an announcement to the Portland Dock Commission yesterday. The commission learned that Pacific Far East Lines had filed an appeal from a maritime board order directing subsidized lines to halt their rate equalization practice which channeled North west products to San Francisco for shipping. . " Thomas L. White, attorney for the commission, said the appeal by PFE had the effect of setting aside the maritime board's order. Subsidized lines will be able to continue the practice which the maritime board said weakened the steamship cargo service out of Portland and Seattle by di verting to San Francisco prod ucts that would otherwise be shipped from Northwest ports. Fresh fruits and dairy products were excepted from the mari time board's order. " The order, dated Oct. 12, had been hailed as a victory for Portland and Seattle ports.
