San FrnticlBco, Doc. 3. That Ed
ward II. Harrlmnn hns achieved a
strategical victory in persundlng tho
Ainorlcan-llnwnllun Btcnmship com
puny into entering nn ngrcoment t'o
rnlso rntcs on custom bound Cali
fornia commodities Is the opinion of
tho lending merghnnts of tho city today.
Whllo thoro is no way of ohtnlnlng
ofllclnl confirmation of tho rumor it
is bcliovcd in business circles the
Btcamshlp lino committed hari-kari
when it was inveigled Into a trnfflc
agreement with tho trans-continental
railroads. They vlow tho voluntary
ralso as suicidal and bollovu that tho
ocean transportation company has
sacrificed its long hold independence.
Tho rates will bo raised on the
day tho advanced rates -of tho trans
continental lines go Into effect, ac
cording to Albert M. Sutton, general
freight agent, of tho Hawaiian-American
company. Thoy will correspond
with tho railroads' announced ton
per cent increnso but nB yet will ef
fect only California shippers and
products. What action will bo taken
by tho railroads in other' pacific
coast states will bo dovelopcd later.
Tho reaching of a traffic agree
ment, howovor, by tho tiwo co'mpnnlcs
Is looked upon by railroad men as an
indirect announcement thnt tho
Southern Pacific dominates tho
American-Hawaiian lino. Tho nd
vanco of rates, at present regnrded
as equable and for tho best interests
of ocean freight lines, Is regarded by
shippors as a comploto surrender to
tho Harriman interests.
