Appropriation for
i. of NJ. Now in
More Definite Form

The appropriation for the UnivoR-
sity of Maine is beginning to take
definite form as a result of confer
ences which were held at the State
House Tuesday.
Following these conferences, it was
said that the committee on Educa-
ton would probably report 10 per-
cent increase in the amount allowed
for maintenance last year. That would
give an appropriation of $4,000 an
nually instead of 100000.
In addition it is expected that an
allowance Of $4,000 will be recon-
mended for repais and equipment.
For the past two years s125,000 has
been expended Tor repairs and equip
ment covering a considerable amount
of important and permanent work.
IT, as is expected. the building pro-
gram is generally abandoned by the
state institutions. there will he no
appropriation for new buildings for
the University of Maine.

Southern Ports Win
Fight for Parity
In Freight Rates

Washington, Mar. 24-The South
Atlantic and Gulf ports today won
their long fight for parity in ocean
freight rates with north Atlantic
ports.
The Shipping Board formally plac-
ed them on this parity by approving
Gulf Shipping and South Atlantic
Steamship Conference calling for
elimination of the differentials which
had existed against them in favor Of
north Atlantic ports on commodi-
ties originating for ocean shipment
in competitive territory.
The differential against Gulf ports
has amounted to 15c hundred
pounds, and against South Atlantic
ports to z IL cents and increased
movement Of freight from South At
lantic and Gulf ports was foreseen
by Shipping Board officials as a re-
suit of today's action.
Shippers in central freight asso-
citation territory, comprising roughly
the middle west, heretofore have
found it cheaper to send their pro.
ducts to New York and other north
Atlantic ports by rail, for trans
shipment to foreign destinations. 1t
has been charged that facilities In
some of these ports often have been
inadequate to insure prompt move
ment.
Under the new schedules a great
amount of commodities which pre-
viously moved through the north At
lantic ports from Chicago and adj
Jacent territories, will now go direct
ly through New Orleans and other
gulf and south Atlantic ports.
The diffarantia1c nj
set up by an agreement of the tri-
partite conference. which was made
up of the north Atlantic, the south
Atlantic and the gulf steamship in
terests.
A provision was placed in the orfgi-
nal agreement requiring unanimous
consent for its abrogation, and during
hearings, the shipping board members
We're told that, though they had often
tried. the south Atlantic and Gulf
members of the conference had been
unable to revise the rates in the face
of opposition from the north Atlantic
group.
The shipping board on January 20
abolished the tri-partite conference,
thereby multiplying the agreement and
reopening the entire rate question.
Later the south Atlantic and Gulf
groups decided on rates which would
equal those of the northern group, and
it was this agreement which was made
effective today by the board.
