SHIPPERS PROTEST COAST RATES
Cessation Of Panama Canal Competi
ton Causes Restoration Of Old Tariffs

Cessation Of Panama Canal Competi.
ton Causes Restoration Of Old Tariffs
Washington, Aug. 16.-Concrete evil
dence. of the value to shippers of the
Panama canal was offered by the APP
pearance here of 800 shippers and
their representatives from all leading
industrial centers between Minneapolis
and Pittsburgh, to protest to the inter-
state commerce commission against re-
turn to rates from Pacific coast points
which prevailed before the canal was
built
On completion of the canal great
quantities of freight, coming from al
points between the Mississippi and the
coast and destined for the Atlantic sea
board, were diverted to the water route
The railroads appealed to the inter-
state commerce commission for per-
mission to reduce their rates from Pa
cific coast ports east, to meet the canal
competition. The request was granted
and transcontinenta rail rates dropped
approximately 80 per cent.
So the rates continued until cavein
closed the canal temporarily to traffic
Before it was reopened the European
war was on and all the boats plying
between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts
had been attracted into international
trade by the enormous rates offered
Since that time there has been little 1f
no competition by water with the
transcontinental railroads.
Recently shippers from points be-
tween the Mississippi and the Atlantic
coast appealed to the interstate COM
merce commission to restore the ole
railroad rate from the Pacific coast
cities. on the ground that, with the in
terruption Of water competition, these
cities were unduly favored. Recently
the commission restored the old rates
to take effect Sept. I, and it thereby
brought down new storm Of protest
from the western business men.
The westernes do not protest SC
much against the increase in rate as
against the short notice given. The
Detroit wholesale grocers, for example
represented by Messrs. Cushman and
Campbell. contend that to change the
rate in the middle Of their business
year must entail serious loss. Millions
of pounds OF canned goods are shipped
from the coast. This product was con-
tracted for a year ago and it has been
sold. in turn, to retailers, for delivery
during fall and winter. The price OF
resale was fixed on the basis Of the
existing freight rate. The increase
now in the freight rate means loss to
the wholesaler Of approximately
cents a dozen cans, whereas the total
profit on canned goods, for the whole
saler. is only from to Is cents a doz-
en-, they declare.
