Philadelphia merchants and commercial
bodies declared today that an application
for readjustment Of freight rates de-
manded by Jersey City and other New
Jersey municipalities, which will he heard
tomorrow in New York by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, If successful, would
prove a vital blow to the commerce and
port Of Philadelphia. An intervening pc
tition has been presented by the Chamber
of Commerce.
The New Jersey complaint is based on
the present rates because they draw no
distinction between the Jersey cities and
New York city. The appeal asks for a rate
of three cents per hundred pounds less than
New York. This amount is approximately
the difference in the schedule enjoyed by
Philadelphia over New York and was fixed
by reason Of shorter hauling distance
from southern and western points.
II Is interpreted that the application
would allow the New Jersey ports a de-
cided advantage over the port Of Philadel-
phia as well as over New York, and it Is
predicted by members Of the Chamber OF
Commerce who have been actively engaged
in boosting" the port of Philadelphia that
not only its shipping but local realty values
along the entire water front would be con-
siderably deprecated.
n. b. Kelly, general secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. viii attend the
hearing tomorrow 10 enter protest against
the movement and explain the danger that
would result to Philadelphia by favuring
the appeal Similar complaints will be
entered by all the prominent business as
sociations in New York and the Baltimore
Chamber Of Commerce. The latter city, II
is said, would suffer on almost the same
lines as Philadelphia.
IF the appeal is favored II will vitaly
effect the commercial interests and port
of Philadelphia, and it will be necessary
10 have corresponding difference In rates
between the New Jersey cities mentioned
in the appeal and Philadelphia" said Mr..
Kelly. The chamber Is a commercial or
ganizaton for the purpose of fostering and
promoting the commerce Of the city and
port Of Philadelphia. The movement is OF
serious interest to Philadelphia
The effect Of granting the New Jersey
appeal. il is explained, would virtually
crush the movement for the greater
port OF Philadelphia" which is being urged
by the merchants, exporters, manufacturers,
commercial associations and the city OF
Philadelphia,
New York interests urge that the move
ment would divide New York harbor in
two parts and thus impair its usefulness,
while the New Jersey element allege unjust
discrimination.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, repre-
senting the associated trunk lines, has been
named as defendants in the case.

the Daily Telegraph today, The Telegraph
prints the following telegram from its
Rome correspondent:
Lloyd George Is spoken OF by every
body as the leading figure in the Allied
conference. The newspapers publish
long and fiattering articles about him,
and without disparaging the others, II
Is safe to say he Is the most admired
among the visitors All the papers are
agreed in saying that II is TO his
initiative that the holding OF the Rome
conference Is due.
1t is understood that the discussion
touched three main topics:
First. The military situation, par
ticularly in the Balkans.
Second. The economic and financial
situation.
Third. The peace issues.
The conference was divided into two
sections:
one dealing with military matters purely
and the other with the political. economic
and financial situations
