PANAMA CANAL CUTS
RATES, SAYS |. c. c.
Annual Report Shows Increased Fa
ciIities. Lowering of Tariffs. and
Improved Service.

The marked effect Of the opening Of the
Panama Canal upon trans-continental
railroad rates Is set forth In the twenty
ninth annual report OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission. submitted to Con-
gress yesterday.
The opening OF the canal, the commits
sion states. has resulted in Q material
reduction of railroad rates to meet the
more aggressive water competition. New
tariffs authorizing the reduction of long
haul rates have been approved and the
commission is now engaged in scrutinix-
ing other tariffs readJusting freight rates
to meet the new conditions
"Since the opening OF the Panama
Canal" the commission says. "the water
carriers have materially reduced their
rates. shortened the time OF transporta-
tion. increased the frequency of sailings.
added to their tonnage capacity. Rnd
largely added to the tonnage securd4 Of
this coast-to-coast freight. 1t was shown
that there are in the service between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts forty-nine
ships. with a capacity Of over $50. 900 tons.
1T was evident" the report continues.
that the degree of competition between
the rail carriers and water carriers for
traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts had been largely increased by the
new conditions created by the opening Of
the Panama Canal and that It was neces-
sary for the rail lines to make material
reductions in their rates II they were to
expect to obtain any considerable per-
centage of this coast-to-coast trafiic"
Many reductions have been made and
the process of readJustment is now In
progress.

BRIDGEPORT POLICE
DISPERSE STRIKERS

Continued from Page One
shops are making accessories for war ma
terlals for the Remington works.
The intention is to force the Reming-
ton works to submission by tying UP
the outside shops.
Thomas ]. Savage, member of the Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the International
Association of Machinists, made plain
this morning that this movement will
form an important part OF labor's pro-
gram. 1t is questioned whether this ac-
j tion will seriously Interfere with the Rem
ington plant. III successful 1t will hamper
the plant but not in a way to force the
plant into submission, Il is believed.
On the efforts Of union leaders to get 600
nonunion machinists employed at the
Remington Arms Company to walk out
today hung the general strike that kRas
expected to tie up all the munition fac
tories supplying the Allies The union
officials admitted that unless they could
tie up the plant, Remington Arms and
Munitions Company, the backbone Of the
strike would be broken.
Union officials believe they can induce
the 800 nonunion workmen TO Join the
strikers. The Remington officials scout
this, saying that the increase in wages
and the eight-hour law. granted yester-
day had averted any possibility OF n
widespread strike there
A "run-in" between striking ma
chinists and the police occurred in the
Boston avenue plant of the new Reming-
ton Arms plant early today, when Charles
Sehl, a machinst. living at 2s2O North
18th street, Philadelphia. and general or
ganizer of the Machinists' Union. defied
the orders to. move his pickets.
II know the State law on plclketing and
we are going to stand for the rights OF
our pickets," asserted Sehl.
'Move on. and keep your pickets away
from these gates or I'll take you to the
Judge" was Police Sergeant O'Neills
final command to sehl after a 5-minute
arguments
The police moved the by-stRnders and
the 20 pickets were called to a safe dis
tance by the organizer.
