HEARING NOW ON
Rate Case Comes Here To-
day From Portland

Portiand's contest 10 obtain low
freight rates that would make her
port the logical terminal for grain
shipments. and wrcst supremacy
from Seattle. Everett and Tacoma
terminals. was carried to Seattle
Tuesday when the interstate COM
merce commission representatives
began examining witnesses In the
federal building here. First hear
ings were held In Portland last
week. The hearing was transfer
red to Seattle to give local inter-
ests an opportunity to present fur
ther objections to the proposed
plan.
Theory as applied to grades,
curves and physical conditions af-
fecting railroad freight rates was
the motif OF cross-examination OF
]. p. Newell. consulting engineer
for the public service commission
OF Oregon, who was first witness
In the opening session Tuesday.
Newell is Portland's ACE" in the
battle for reduced rates. He was
examined by c. A. Hart, railroad
administration attorney, who cross
questioned extensively on the cost
OF service application regulating
rates on railroads operating in
both Oregon and Washington.
Newell went on the witness stand
first in Portland. His examina-
ton was continued here. 1t is
Portland's desire to obtain freight
rates for transporting wheat from
Kennewick and vicinity to Portland
at lower rate than the farmers
are paying for the haul to the
sound
Newell attempted to show by
theoretical survey that the O--W. r..
e. N. was the logical railroad to
haul Washington wheat, and that
by reason of the shorter and easier
haul. the rates should be lower.
The federal court was filled with
technical experts and advisors for
both the Seattle and the Portland
factions.
1t is said the Inland Empire Ship
pers' league, the city of Portland.
the Oregon public service commits
sion and representatives OF Kenne-
wick. Wash. are allied with the
Portland side. while Seattle, Ever
ett and Tacoma are fighting
against the rate reduction. Spo-
kane recently entered the contro-
versy in n neutral capacity. Spo-
kane, II is said, wants to be sit
ting on the fence SO she can drop
gracefully to the winning side.
Seattle's protest to the rate re-
ductions is headed by the Chamber
Of Commerce and port officials. The
hearings will continue In the fed
eral building for several days, at
the termination Of which q federal
attorney Will draw up an opinion,
1t is said, offering recommends
tons to Washington.
IL Portland wins. there is n pos
sibility Seattle will lose her posi-
ton as the premier wheat port of
the Pacific and her wheat elevators
left practically useless.
The hearing Is conducted be.

SHIPPING RATES
FAVORS FOREIGNERS
Import Goods and Ship Them
East Cheaper Than West
Supplies East.

Shipping rates which went into effect
on May 20 make 1t possible for ex-
porters in foreign countries to send their
merchandise into the United States. and
from points in the West forward these
goods East much cheaper than domestic
manufacturers in the West can send
similar merchandise from the same
places to their Eastern buyers. 1t was
pointed out by q manufacturer in this
city yesterday.
This manufacturer stated that accord
ing to reliable information he had re-
ceived from Washington the present
freight rates on imported goods received
at Western ports to be shipped East
will be given consideration by Congress.
AS an instance of the way the rates
which are secured by steamship COM
panies discriminate against Western
producers this manufacturer cited the
case of manufacturer in the West who
had loaded his goods on the same
freight train with those of an importer
and the American producer was forced
to pay much greater rate than his for
eien competitor in order to send his
goods East.

Hosiery From Germany

T T would be no surprise to see Ger

United States soon after peace
is firmly established, according to the
National Association OF Hosiery and
Underwear Manufacturers. A num-
Der OF the most important manufac-
tureTs in Switzerland have founded
an export concern under the name Of
Swiss Syndicate for Foreign Hosiery
Expectations" and It IL stated that
persons having a knowledge OF con-
ditions in Switzerland In their rela-
ton to Germany are inclined 20 look
upon the syndicate as German trad
ing organization.
1t Is pointed out that in view OF the
low customs duties II might not be
very difficult for Germany to send
considerable hosiery to this country
in a roundabout way. which 1t 10
feared would force wage reductions
here in order to enable American
manufacturers to compete.
