MEET TO DISCUSS
COASTWISE SERVICE.
Shippers and Receivers of Merchandise
And all Members Chamber Of Com
meree Urged TO Attend

Every shipper and receiver OF mer-
chandise will be interested in the meet
ing to be held in the auditorium of the
chamber Of commerce this afternoon at
400 o'clock and special request is made
through the board of directors of the
chamber of commerce that the fullest
attendance be present.
The long desired coastwise service from
Pensacola to North Atlantic ports now
seems assured and it viii only be neces-
sary for our local people to get solidly
behind the movement.
Sporadic attempts have been made for
the establishment Of a service Of this
kind, but no definite assurance has been
rendered by and reputable or strong fins
ancial shipping agency until the present
time.
Through the efforts of the Industrial
Commissioner of the chamber of com
merce, Mr.. J. B. Morrow, a definite
written proposal has been secured from
the Transmarine Corporation OF New
York. the ship and terminal operating
subsidiary of the Submarine Boat Cor
poration.
THE success OF a coastwise service is
predicated upon.something more than the
ship opera ton said Mr.. Morrow.
Unless adequate terminals are pro
vided at New York for the concentration
of cargo and facilities provided to re-
duce the port cost Of shipments, the
future of n coastwise operation is a
doubtful one. Luckily all the salient
points which for successful operation
both by ship and terminal are offered the
people OF Pensacola by the Transmarine
Corporation.
Moreover, this company viii assist in
the pioneering of the service, are finan-
cially able to do So and this means much
to us. The people of Pensacola are not
asked to put UP a single penny TO Sc
cure this service, other than paying the
freight charges on their shipments"
The facilities at the Newark terminals
which are in the New York switching
and delivery area are told as follows:
The Port Newark Terminals have three
modern fire. proof warehouses; 100 acres
Of open storage; direct shipside delivery:
crane capacity UP TO seventy tons; a ter
mina1 railway owned by the Company
connecting with trunk line; railway
loading dock. $500 feet long. double track
ed below and overhead trestle equipped
with thirty steam and electric cranes.
This company offers in addition OF it's
steel ship service; a regular and respon-
sible service via the Barge Line owned
by 1t, over. the New York State Barge
Canal to Buffalo and Lake ports. Store
door deliveries are made at Buffalo from
the private terminals of the company.
In addition to this, shippers to this
terminal can secure exceptional storage
facilities at minimum rates: thus making
this an ideal operating base TO interior
points.
The directors of the chamber Of com
merce particularly stress the Importance
of the meeting this afternoon and urge
all interested shippers and receivers of
freight to attend

UPToN's UNFIT APPOINTMENT
WITHDRAWN

Following the withdrawal of the nenli-
nation of Nat Goldstein to be internal
revenue collector at ST. Louis, President
Harding has withdrawn the nomination
of George w. Upton Of Ohio, husband of
Mrs Harriet Taylor Upton. vice-chair-
man of the republican national commit
tee, to be a member of the federal trade
commission.
The objection urged against Mr.. Upton
was that he had no qualifications what
ever for the job, and no claim upon the
party except that he was the husband
of Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton.
For preventing the confirmation Of this
unfit appointment, Senator Pomerene

tion. deserves and undoubtedly viii re-
ceive the thanks Of the voters of Ohio.
