NEW YORK DEFENDS.
L|GHTERAGE RATES.
L.C. C. Examiners Open Case
in Action Asked to End
Free Freighting.
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 13.-New York re-
sumed its fight yesterday before exam
liners of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to preserve, in the face Of pro-
tests by other Atlantic ports. the freight
rate structure involved in the so-called
lighterage case.
In an action brought by the State
of New Jersey, the commission has
been asked to segregate from the regu-
lar rate the lighterage charges in New
York Harbor, just as the rates are
segregated at Boston, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and other ports. The effect
would be to terminate free lighterage.
Representatives of 70 railroads and
officials of the State of New York and
New York City appeared for the open
ing OF the hearings. A delegation from
Baltimore was headed by former Rep
~csentative John Philip Hill; BoSton's
representatives were led by Corporation
Counsel Samuel Silverman, and Phila-
delphia'S by Assistant Corporation
Counsel G. Coe Farrier.
Trade Area Held Unity.
In making the opening statement for
the railroads, Thomas j. Healy en-
phasiZed the recognized unity of the
New York trade area. He said the
pending case involves principles no diff
ferent from those of the New York
Harbor case, which was decided against
in New Jersey in 1917.
"Since the decision of 1917" he as
serted, ''the complainants have brought
forward no new evidence. Unification
of the industrial area, on the other
hand, has become even stronger"
Rate Grouping Defended.
The first witness for the State, Parker
McCollester, assistant attorney general,
said the State would show that those
conditions which the commission in
1917 found to justify the maintenance
of the rate group still exist
I'VE also will show" he added "that
developments have been largely in re-
lance upon, or prompted by the COM
missions findings of port unity, which
have brought the sides of the harbor
more and more together and have made
this port area more than ever essen
tally q rate group"
The hearings are being conducted
before Examiners Earl NJ. Steer and
p. c. Paulsen. Former Gov. Alfred E.
Smith vii be one Of the witnesses called
by New York.
