missioners al the ferry building The
= session viii resume at 10 O'clock this
morning.
In opening the proceedings yesterday
morning Attorney Seth Mann asked for
an understanding on the question of
extent Of the shipping points involved.
He stated that he considered that the
points involved were the places be-
tween Fresno and Bakersfield, in
elusive. Attorney Joseph P. Loeb of
3 Los Angeles contended that all San
Joaquin valley points were involved.
We'll" said Mann. "we'll consider
that the limitations are the San Joa-
ouin valley-and that the Sacramento,
Santa Clara. Solano and Sonoma val
leys are excluded.
Commissioner LoTeland said that the
entire san Joaquin valley should be
considered.
MEETING POINT OF RATES
william r. Wheeler was called as
The first witness. He testified that the
meeting point Of rates should be about
Afoisve. south Of Tehachapi. and that
arv meeting point north of Tehachapi
meant discrimination against San
Francisco. He declared that there was
very much more way traffic between
san Francisco and Bakersfield than
there was between Los Angeles and
Bakersfield. He cited the general rule
that rates should be lower through a
more populated country. He stated
that number Of San Francisco busi-
ness houses, % in fact. had branches
IN Los Angeles, and that those branch
houses were established to secure
trade south of Tehachapi and not with
the intention OF trading in the San
Joaquin valley.
The san Joaquin valley, he said. was
considered as naturally tributary to
san Francisco. The climb over the Te-
hachapi and san Fernando mountains
should make the haul into the San
JOAQUIN valley from Los Angeles moro
expensive than the San Francisco haul,
which was over the level
COMPETITION BY WATER
Wheeler also mentioned the water
competition from san Francisco into
the valley. which was effective to
stockton and potential as far as Fire
baugh. where steamers were operated
At certain times Of the year

selves declared William r. Wheeler,

Wheeler appeared in behalf OF the
San Francisco shippers to testify
against the contentious of the Asso-
cjated Jobbers Of Los Angeles that the
southern city was Disseminated against
IN the matter of rates into the valley.
ADVANTAGE OF Los ANGELES
Wheeler declared that under the
present rates san Francisco was par
ucularly Disseminated against in the

AT present San Francisco and Los An

cheaper rate to Bakersfield than San

Wheeler testified that when the road

much 10 ship given commodity to the
summit of Tehachapi from San Fran
