ELLIS TELLS THE DISADVANTAGES
OF new FREIGHT RATES TO CITY

Tho Pueblo Commerce club has been
asked TO approve OF a movement to
cxamp. all American ships and coast
wide trade from toll or ducs in passing
thru tho Panama canal.
X, J.. Ellis. traffic manager Of the
Pueblo Commerce club declares that
4, is not likely that the Pueblo bust
ness men and the business men of
tho middle west will indorse the move
ment TO exempt this trade from toll
rates thru the canal as 1t would tend
to make freight rates in tho interior
states much higher than at tho present
iifno,
Mr.. Ellis declares that the freight
rates would be cheaper from New York
to Sar Francisco as result of the move
men,. but from Pueblo or any other
point in tho middle West tho freight
rates would probably bo higher
such an action would cause the rail-
roads TO meet the cheaper steamship
rates from the Atlantic seaboard To
