UNITE INTERESTS
Atlantic and Pacific Coast Conn
mercial Organizations En-
ter Agreement

The traffic bureau of the merchants
exchange received a telegram yester-
day from Seth Mann, attorney for the
bureau, who is in New York. in which
Mann reports an enthusiastic meeting
of the representatives of the large COM
mercial bodies from New York, Phlla-
deIphia. Boston, New Haven, Baltimore
and Richmond. The meeting, which was
held in New York Tuesday. developed
full understanding that the interests
of the Pacific and Atlantic coasts are
mutual in the encoura cement OF sea
transportation In advance Of the COM
pletion of the Panama canal and in the
establishment of coast eastbound rail
distributive rates that are reasonable
The securing of the cooperation Of
the Atlantic seaboard commercial
bodies in this momentous traffic situa-
tion is regarded by students OF the
problem as one of the most valuable
pieces of work the traffic bureau has
accomplished. 1t is evident that the in
terests of the two coasts are identical
in that the Atlantic seaboard cities can
expect to get the broadest distribution
of their manufactures throughout the
Pacific coast and intermountain section
in competition with the middle west
only through water transportation or
rail rates compelled by water competi-
tion. In other words, according to Will
liam r. Wheeler. the shortest CONNER
cial mileage between Atlantic ports
and the intermountain section is found
through low sea compelled rates to this
coast and reasonable distributive rail
rates from these ports into the interior.
The former are available through
greater activities via the ocean routes;
the latter must be secured through the
voluntary action of the railroad COM
panies serving Pacific seaports or. fail
ing in this, appeal to the state and
interstate commissions.
