MENACE TO PORT.
Philadelphia's Commercial
Prosperity at Stake Be-
fore Federal Board
"LIGHTERAGE" AT ISSUE
N. B. Kelly Controverts Claims
of N. j. Municipalities
for Reduction

NEW YORK Jan 9.-Thc future " the
port Of Philadelphia and its commercial
advantages were officially placed at stake
today before tho Interstate Commerce Com
mission during a hearing Of the Fighter
age" or New Jersey freight rate case, held
at the state Chamber OF Commerce here.
The signal for fight involving the
largest shipping interests In the United
states came today wheu'Jersey city and
other northern New Jersey municipalities
demanded dfferential in freight rates
over New York to cover lterage charges
s'ross New York Harbor similar TO the
diTerental enjoyed by Philadelphia.
The present schedule, which is based on
the zone system makes no difference
between New York and the Ncw Jersey
cities that have filed application.
The Philadelphia Chamber Of Commerce
filed an intervening petition through y. B.
Kelly general secretary, who says that n
struggle to protect Philadephia's interests
viii be Waged.
From representatives Of all the large
eastern railroads II is learned that the car
rers are preparing to bring out. N defense
Of the present rates, facts showing that
Philadelphia through It's geographical loca-
ton, its short hauling distance by rail and
It's competition is entitled to the dffercntial
over the New Jersey cities making the de-
mands.
Today's hearing was largely devoted to
an explanation Of the purposes Of the New
Jersey application by George l.. Record,
attorney for the applicants and the fur
nishing of testimony in behalf Of the same.
Mr. Record called attention to the equal
rates existing between New York Brook
lvn and Long Island and the protesting New
Jersey cities He said that in order to
convey freight to New York it was neCes-
sary to have addition lighterage charges.
This, he said, was unfair to New Jersey
commercial interests and was an unneces-
sary extra charge. He said that the reduc-
tIon asked would benefit shippers, railroads
and consgnees.
In summing up his plea, Mr. Record said
that the New Jersey cities should enjoy the
same rates as Philadelphia,
While the plea was largely based on the
lghterage point Mr. Record, after the
hearing, explained that the case would
eventually come to n decided point when
the same freight rates cleared 10 Philadel- |
phia would be demanded
New York shipping interests, railroads
and commercial organizations are banded |
firmly together in protesting the New Jer-
sey application and "a warm fight is |
promised on all sides"
Protests were presented before Examiner |
Laroe by organizations in Chicago, the |
state of Maryland. the City of Baltimore |
and numerous other cities.
