Increased Freight Rates
The reason for the closing Of the
mills and logging camps was lack of
markets. The reason for lack of mar
kets was the increase in freight rates.
Back Of the freight rates lies long
series of events beginning even before
the war and continuing through the
government control of railroads and
the return Of the roads to private own.
ership. Before the war sixty per cent
of the railways in this country were
in the hands of receivers. When the
lines were returned to private control
rates were increased in an effort to
make the roads lf-sustaining and
give them capital for improvements
which in many cases had been delayed
for years.
Southern Pine Competition
The tariff on lumber was raised
fiat 33 1-3 per cent With the COM
petition between mills here and those
located in the southern pine belt al
ready a matter of pennies the increase
put the coast mills completely out Of
the running. In some cases the in.
crease in freight rates from the coast
to the middle west amounted to as
much as the whole previous rate on
southern pine timber.
The present situation can be sum-
med up as readjustment of markets.
There are now ten steamship lines
running out of Seattle to the Atlantic
coast by way of the Panama canal.
Before the war there were none. BY
shipping lumber through the canal
and reshipping from the Atlantic
coast lumber can be laid down in
Western Pennsylvania in competition
with southern pine or any local trade.
1t is possible that it can be put on
the Great Lakes.
Assembling Yard On East Coast
The Weyerhaeuser Forest Products
Association, operating mill at Spo-
kane, one at Snoqualmie and one at
Everett with a total daily capacity of
100000 feet, has built an assem-
bling yard at Baltimore and proposes
to ship its products through the
canal for eastern markets. Following
the announcement of this plan OF dis
tribution comes a statement from rail-
road systems running out OF the Sound
section to meet in Chicago this week
and consider the alleged discrimina-
tory freight rates in an attempt to ad-
Just the controversy and permit the
local lumber to reach the vast lumber
consuming territory around Chicago.
In this connection the West Coast
Lumbermen's Association had already
petitioned the interstate commerce
commission for a readjustment and
had reason to expect relief sometime
within sixty days.
Glad to Get Business
During the war when the piers on
the east coast were crowded with ship
ments for Europe there was no room
for handling low rate material like
lumber, but under the present con-
ditions the shipping men are glad to
get it. That in connection with the
ten lines now operating from Seattle,
which are also glad to get business,
puts a different aspect on the lumber
business here.
In the meantime fifty lumber deal
ers from New York visited Seattle and
other northwest points last week In
view of establishing connections IN
this district. They reported big
building program in the east in the
process of Undertaking. and stated
that the east was more than ever de-
pendent on the west for lumber.
