Milling In Transit
Rate Granted Valley
Lumberinen by Espee

A milling in transit" rate which
will permit owners of small lum-
Der mills throughout the VILLAIN
ette valley to ship raw materials
from inland points for milling at
larger mills en- route to its ultimate
destination at a rate much lower
than that now in force Will be
placed in effect on the Southern
Pacific lines Immediately according
10 information received by the
public service commission here
morning. The new rate, it is ex-
planned, will correspond to similar
rates now in effect on the lines of
the Oregon-Washingt Railroad
& Navigation company and other
northern lines. More than two
thirds of the mill owners on the
lines of the Southern Pacific will
benefit directly as a result of this
action, members of the commission
explained this morning.
The attempt to secure the estab-
lishment of a special milling in
transit rate, applicable on the lines
of the Southern Pacific company,
was instituted during the latter
part Of the period of federal con-
troll of railroads by the Pecific
Coast shippers association and the
Western Oregon Tie association,
who filed a petition with the Port
land district freight traffic com
mittee. Failing in their efforts be-
fore that body, the matter vfs ,
then presented to the public serv-
i've commission in an informal way
through the office of the state
chamber of commerce. Shortly
thereafter the public service com
mission drafted formal complaint
covering the matter with the inten-
ton of presenting the same to the
interstate commerce commission
but temporarily withheld the fill
ing of the same in the hope that
more prompt results might be OBJ
tanned through informal negotia-
tions. After much correspondence
and numerous conferences, the
commission has succeeded in secur-
ing the desired concession from
the carrier.
The new rates are to be made
effective both on state and inter
state business just as quickly as
proper tariffs can be published
and filed

Division OF
ShiipBoard
Suggested
Former Assistant to
Payne Would Take
Emergency Fleet Cor
poration Away

Washington, Dec. 14.-Reorgan-
ization of the shipping Hoard by
divorcing from it the Emergen-
cy Fleet corporation and the Sc
lection of men experienced in va
rious lines of the shipping indus
try for the management of each
organization were among con
structive Suggestions" submitted
today by Martin j. Gillen of Wis
consin, to the house committee in
vestigating the boards opaxsssss:..ss. ;.
Mr.. Gillen was executive assist
ant to John Barton Payne when
Mr.. Payne was chairman of the
board and recently declined ap-
pointment to the new board.
Separation of the board and
the fleet corporation, Mr.. Gillen
said, would enable the board TO
give its entire attention to the
management of the wartime her
itage of 1900 government owned
ships. The value of these ships
was placed by Mr.. Gillen at ST.
500,000,000.
The fleet corporation should
function only as "a liquidating
corporation, Mr.. GiIlen said. Its
duties would be to. clean up the
vast volume of accounting, COM
pletion of contracts, sale of ships
and surplus material which the
armistice left on the governments
hands. Surplus material and hous-
ing projects to be handled, is
valued at approximately $46U,U0O,-
geo.
Among other suggestions were
Reduction of present operat-
ors of government ships from 176
to 50-entailing a saving in over
head expense and preventing con-
fusion
Readjustment of sales contracts
| made and to be made by reducing
the tonnage to a market value
suggested at 500, to 1925 ton
in order to create an investment
market in the United States for
shipping.
Regulation and license by the
shipping board of all companies
and persons engaged in warehooH
ing, docks, stevedoring, ship re-
pairs, towing and bargeing to
control alleged evils which inter
fere with upbuilding American
shipping.
The establishing of a uniform
adequate system of accounting
and the compelling of masters
| and deck officers who purchase
supplies for ships to make oath al
time of receiving their salaries
that they have not accepted brides
bonuses or rebates in any form.
