day to the house shipping trust COM

congressional xeguia5ton would ruin
the shipping business.
That the United States government
is q party to European ste1mshlp 1con-
ferences which axes rates between
Central America and European ports
and New York City, was charged by
Esherwin, who told the committee that
the government, representing the PAM
anna railroad and the Panama steam
ship line, sent representative 20 the
annual conference meetings in London
when conference rates were fixed. He
added that the government had en-
deavored to force an agreement be-
tween his line and the Hawaiian line
but that his line had refused to enter
the agreement on the ground that It
was in violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Then the government said Mr..
Scherwin. ito force the Hawaiian line
to maintain its rates, threatened II it
cut them down, to put en- competing
line with the government behind It.
At present the Hawaiian line is oper-
atfng under tariffs fixed by the gov
ernment through the Panama Steam
ship Company
Mr. Scherwin said that when the Pam
anna canal was opened, his line as a
railroad line would be forced
out of the trade. From his talks with
the railroad men, he believed they
were Indifferent as TO the provision
barring railroad-owned ships from the
canal.
"The railroads do not care a snap
about it." he said. Water rates through
the canal, he added, will be but NOM
inally lower than the trans continental
railroad rates no matter what efforts
were made to regulate them.
Mr.. Scherwin said that ST you
wanted to rip the railroads UP the
back" the canal should have been left
free to all vessels, foreign or American.
Turn all the ships into the canal"
he said, ''and in a short time the
American railroads would go into the
hands of receivers. But under the
present system any difference In the
rate will not benefit the consumer for
It win be absorbed by the jobber."
