FREIGHT WAR

Big Business Of North Atlantic

Effort to Keep South

Columbia. April 17.-Business in

Savannah-in fact, all of the principal
cities of the Southeast, are watching
with great interest the outcome OF
the fight over export rates from other
parts of the country to South Atlantic
ports Advices have reached Colum-
bia and other Southeastern points OF
a conference held in New York City
last Monday. between representatives

which was the appointment OF a COM
mittec of five to appeal to the Trunk
Line Association for suspension of the
present preferential freight rates 10
Southern and South Atlantic ports
pending formal application Of the
Trunk Line Association to the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
The special committee is composed
Of d. w. Cook. Of the Chamber Of
Commerce Of the State OF New York;

New York City Merchants Associa-
ton; \. Is. Kelly. Of the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce: {. 5. Hen
derson. of the Baltimore Chamber Of
Commerce. and Il. y. Collyer. chair
man of the Trunk Line Association.
The rates on exports through South
Atlantic ports from points west have
in recent months been reduced, so
as to be on a par with rates on exports
through North Atlantic ports. The
North Atlantic interests are now wag-
ing a strenuous fight to have the rates
increased again. and the business in
terests of the Southeast are waSinS
an equally stubborn fight TO maintain
the rates.
The lower rates to the South are
opposed by the shipping interests of
the East on the ground that vessels
from Southern ports return without
complete carg0es; that the territory
served by the Southern railroads IS
not as productive as the Northeast;
and the low export rates We're a war
measure, and now with the war over
the roads OF the East should not have
their earnings cut. These were the
chief arguments presented at the con-
ference in New York city last Monday.

Southeast will leave Columbia OH May
