TO ADVANCE RATES
RAILROADS MAY

Eastern Raiiroad Presidents VIII
Combine 70 Put Widespread Rate
Advances Into Effeot--Determined
Resistance From Commercial
BODIES.

An organized attempt by eastern
railroad managers to effect a whole
sale advance OF freight rates has
aroused widespread alarm and pro-
test. says the Oregon Daily Journal.
While no open action has been taken
In the Pacific northwest in opposition
to the movement. Oregon commercial
bodies and shippers have not been
inactive, and a determined resistance
to the raise Is being organized.
The eastern railroad presidents re-
Gently came into the open and have
declared that they will carry the pro-
posed increase into effect, and that

will be poweriess TO prevent II. The
movement has reached a stage where
an outburst OF popular Indignation is
spreading over the country. CONNER
ciai interests are forming combina-
tions 10 exert the united influence Of
the country's business men against
the advance of rates.
A telegram received In Portland
from Chicago advises local lumber
manufacturing interests that the Ium-
Der shippers of the middle west and
northwest are up in arms, and that
united action will be taken. The rail-
read presidents have been asked to
withdraw the advanced rates until Oc-
tober. A large meeting Of shippers
representing the entire western coun-
try, will be held at Chicago May Is.
/ 1t is admitted that the interstate
commerce commission and state rail-
way commissions have no powers that
can be used effectively under present
laws to prevent the railroads from
carrying the proposed increase into
effect. 1t was to prevent just such
action by the railroad companies that
the Fulton amendment was Offered In
the present congress.
This amendment to the interstate
commerce law was originated by the
lumber manufacturers and their at
torneys. They proposed that no rail-
road should be allowed to increase an
established rate until after the in
crease had first been submitted. to the
interstate commerce commission and
the shippers given a hearing In op-
position to the advance.
Had this amendment become a law
the railroads could not carry the
threatened general increase into effect
until it had been threshed out before
the commission and approved by that
body. and then given final hearing
in the courts. where appeal could have
been made by the railroads.
