THE LUMBER BLOCKADE
Rivalry Between Hill and Hartman
Lines Causing Il.
Interstate Commerce Commission d
Asked to Order Joint Through Ratss
$4,000 Carloads Await shipment

Washington. May 1.-Rivairy DO
tween the Hill and Hartman railroad
lines IN the northwest finally has
eliminated in the presentation Of the
matter to the interstate commerce
commission. For several months lum-
Der dealers and manufacturers In
Washington, particularly, and in the
Puget Sound territory generally. have
complained informally TO the commits
sion that, owing to the refusal Of the
Hill and Hartman lines to make them
through rates and Joint rates they
were unable to get their products
shipped to points east Of the Cascade
mountains. Finally It was suggested
that they institute proceedings under
the new rate law to compel the rail-
roads to make such through rates and
Joint rates. In compliance with the
suggestion the Pacific Coast lumber
manufacturers association, the South
western Washington Lumber associa'
ton and the shingle mills bureau Tues
day filed complaint with the COM
mission against the Northern Pacific,
the Great Northern, the Union Pacific,
the Oregon Short Line and IL other
railroads, requesting the commission
to issue orders providing that the rail-
roads shall make through and Joint
rates on lumber products from points
IN Washington via Portland, Ore, to
points east Of the Cascade mountains.
It II stated in the petition that
there are At sawmills in Western
Washington with an annual output Of
nearly three billion feet Of lumber;
and that there are 453 single mills
with an annual output Of more than
IA billion shingles, all of them repre-
scented by the compliments. 1t Is al
legged that there are now awaiting
shipment from that territory not less
than $4,000 carloads of manufactured
lumber and that the annual output Of
such lumber from that territory is
not less than 10000 carloads. 1t is
alleged that the defendant lines refuse
To interchange cars at Portland and
that 1t thus is rendered impossible to
get the lumber products to market.
