Canal Traffic Already
Cutting Into Railroads

any rates In the central and western.
and particularly the intermountain
country. This revives the old aues-
ton involved In what has been known
as the Spokane long-andlong haul
case, wherein the intermountain
cities like Spokane, Denver. Santa Fe,
etc., won, after many years, their con-
tention that they should not be
charged moro for the rail haul from
the east than the railroads charged
for longer haul from eastern cities
to the Pacific coast Now the roads
want to re-establish the practice OF
making the higher rate for intermoun,
tain points.
The position of the roads Il that
they cannot AFFORD to meet the com
petition OF the canal on through bust,
IL they are obliged TO make the CORE
spending reductions to intermountain
points that they want to make for
Pacific coast points. They would rath,
er surrender their business to the
canal. which, OF course. they ought to
do. Otherwise they are taxing the
people living within the zone OF the
coast rates. They are performing Q
service below cost for the coast cities
at the expense OF above-cost rates To
the intermountain cities to meet the
competition of the canal.
Under present rail rates, traffic

Pacific coast If to be heavily handi.
capped with traffic originating on the
Atlantic coast. The charge to the lat-'
ter cities In so great as possibly to
determine the location of factories
and thus contribute TO the Industrial
development OF the coast at the ex-
pense OF the interior. This, at least
is the claim OF the railroads.
The competition OF the railroads
shows disposition on their part to
do what railroads have always done
TO try 10 eliminate water transporta-
ton by cutthroat competition. and
'below-cost' service They would
like to make their rail rate, temper
arily at least. so low that the goods
would not 60 as they ought to 60, by
the cheapest method of transporta-
ton, which Is water transportation
through the canal. II the canal were
privately Owned. there would be no
difficulty. The railroads would pro-
coed to do as they have always done:
either control or own IL, as they con-
troll or own the water terminals on
the rivers and harbors OF the country,
and then raise rates to suit them
selves The fact that the canal Is
goverrmentcwned for the arst time
establishes real water competition;
hence the howl from the transconti-
mental railroads.

ANA canal 10 already making itself
felt. In the excitement over world
wars. and elections, II has received
little attention and few people know
that the vegetables canned In Indiana
this year are already being shipped TO
the Pacific coast In large quantities
via the Panama canal. Such. however.
Is the case. and TO such an extent
that the owners OF the trans-continent-
al railroads are already getting "het
up over II. As usual, when these
gentlemen get "het up" they rush TO
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to get something done for them.
In this case they want the privilege
OF reducing rates. in order TO institute
"cut-tbroat competition with canal
rates. One bunch OF railroad men II

raise rates, and another bunch wants
10 reduce rates, and each bunch is

the commission. Railroad rate max

the science OF "all the traffic will

will soon have TO wake up and see
how n UGH they are going to bear.
The canal opened for business on
Aug. 10. and since that time 40 ships,
havinga capacity varying from 5000
TO $4,000 tons have engaged In hand
ling freight through II to the Pacific
coast. From as far west as Ohio and
Indiana freight is now moving In con-
siderable volume by way OF New York
to the canal and the Pacific coast
states. A shipment OF $4,000 tons OF
wrought iron pipe from Youngstown,
