act he says. against American ship

4 wish. on behalf of the Lighterage As
ISOLATION Of the port of New York. to
strongly protest against the passage of
this section Of the law for the following
reasons:
First. Water transportation is the
cheapest known to the world. and Will
regulate the rates Of the entire country.
for the benefit of all classes of shippers.
and prevent railroad manipulation Of
rates or unjust discrimination, notwith-
standing their alleged national or State

Second. Rate regulation may have the
desired effect of removing. 10 some ex-
tent discrimination against various
classes of shippers. but it is also bound
to make less iexibility Of rates. and. if
applied to water traffic, would result in
the deterioration Of service and the con-
sequent destruction of water borne com

Third, Carriers of water borne freight.

Fourth. The interstate commerce su-
pervision or rate regulation of water
borne traffic would practically put the
hghterage and canal interest Of the port
of New York out of business. and the
SOL .Oo0oOo now being spent by the State
of New York for barge canal would be
a serious waste Of money.
Fifth The destruction of the American

spending Of millions of dollars to build
the Panama Canal. and more millions
for river and harbor improvements for
the benefit only Of foreign vessels. under
no rate regulation or Interstate commerce
supervision or control, would be an infa-
nous act against American shipping in
