Although the shippers Of Astoria are
complaining that they are being dis
eliminated against BY the Portland &
San Francisco Steamship Company in
regard to cargo insurance and have ap-
pealed to the company AMI are in the
intention of taking the matter before
the Interstate Commerc Commission,
yet on investigation of the laws there
il no provision for governing such a
case; the company is exercising its func.
tions within the scope Of the law.
The law provides for interstate com.
merce by railroad or by rail and partly
by water, there is no provision for in.
terstate business entirely by water and
accordingly the company does not feel 1t
il liable for freight damaged as in the
case of the Columbia disaster and other
accidents Of similar nature. There Is no
precedent to follow in meeting the situa.
tion and local men, well versed in the
business of handling freight consign-
ments, state that they are of the opin.
ion that the company will not grant
Astoria the same cargo insurance that
other forms Of commerce enjoy and that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will be able to do little or nothing in
regard TO the situation.
The local insurance men, those who
are engaged in marine insurance, state
that there is little occasion to complain
as they say the rates are low and there
should be no grounds for complaining
against discrimination.
The present case Is an interesting one
In point and will be all the more inter-
esting when it is taken before the com.
mission and its verdict is given.
