ADVANTAGES ARE KNOWN

Merchants and manufacturers of renn

Jiportlntf their uouda through their
"home" port If they are not oil hopea
of maklnB this ono of the ureateat port
111 the world will be vain, and all of the
rait Improvement! under way and on
tamhiatod will Vie for naucht, according
to Director Melgt, of the Department of
WharVet, Ddcks and Kerrlee. .
Director Melgt expressed theae tentl
mentt In a letter he sent today to Ed
ward S Mc8eeney, chairman of the
Port Director of Uoaton, In anawr to
the latter's reoueot for the "areateat lm
mdlato problem" confrontlnit the port
authorities of thli city.
Mr Meigs also sounded a clarion call
for the various trades to begin an active
campaign to obtain freight to bo shipped
through Philadelphia. Mora freight, ho
contended, mean more ships and better
and faster service. He severely arraigned
business men who verbally sounded the
praises of the port and city and then
hipped out of New York.
The letter was submitted to the Cham
bar of Pommaren for Its nonrovnl. and N.
H. ttrlley, speaking for the Executive
Committee of that body, said that unjust
railroad discrimination and fear of bis
corporations restrained new ltnea and
drove other lines out. He pledged the
support of the Chamber of Commerce to
aid In any movement that would assist
the port.
MUST PUT FAITH IN PORT
After showing the ph) steal needs of
th" ports and pratsing the support given
the authorities In the Improvements, Di
rector Mclga wrote!
"The one greatest problem before us.
however, Is to make our own cltliens,
bath of the City of Philadelphia and the
Btate of Pennsylvania, realize theso ad
vantages nnd to persuade them to put
their faith In the port and transact their
maritime business through It. There It
a constantly and automatically growing
maritime commerce coming to our shores
which Is bound to continue to Increase
enormously every yearexcept durlntr
such periods of unparalleled commercial
disturbance as we are now passing
through the administrative agents of
which freight movement must nnd physi
cal accommodations for handling the
same. On the principle of the old saw,
that 'nothing succeeds like success' most
of this growth In the marine freight
movement gravitates automatically to
New York, Instead of to other Atlantic
const ports where considered with ref
erence td Its origin or Its destination In
the back country It might more properly
belong.
TERMINAL C09T8 LESS HERE.
"Much of this freight Is subject to con
siderably larger terminal costs In New
York than It would be here, but this af
fects mainly the transportation com
panies rather than the shippers, ns the
combined ocean and rail freight rates nre
tho same to most European uorM "either
through this city or through New York.
The service from New York Is now to in
contestably better In respect to both
speed of passage of steamers, and fre
quency of sailings, for which reason ft verv
Inra. percentage of our own merchants
prefer to ship exclusively through that
city. At a tjptcnl example, one of tho
largest department stores In Philadelphia,
and one of the greatest manufacturing
plants In: tho city, the heads of both of
which aro Phllodclphlans by birth, train
ing, and business connections, full of local
patriotism and verbal enthusiasm, neither
of them handle many pounds of their
enormous Import and export business
through their own home port; New York
Is too convenient
"The New York habit Is very strong
In the minds of both shippers and trans
portation companies, and Its prestige as
the World's greatest seaport Is Ruth that
tremendous quantities of freight are
routed via New York for no better reason
than that New Tork occurs drat In mind
whn ocean shipments are under con
sideration. It seems reasonable to bcllev
that the octan transportation companies
would not needlcstly subject themselves
to the large operatlngexpenses Incidental
to the maintenance of New York ter
minals over those that they might cetab
llsh at Philadelphia, provided they could
obtain the same amount of freight here
that Is offered In New York.
THIS 18 LOGICAL POnT.
"Philadelphia Is the logical ocean outlot
for a very large producing and consuming
territory, and if the goods produced or
consumed In this territory -were handled
over, Philadelphia's wharves its foreign
commerce would be doubled. Our most
immediate problem la to persuade pro
ducrt and consumers In thlt ttrritory to
use their natural homo port, and to see to
It personally that thrtr goods are shipped
through Jt. It Is not to be expected Vhst
any appeal to their feelings of locsl
patriotism In this connection would have
any effect If the Rlvlnjr way to such a
sentiment would affect thejr pocketbooks.
Corporations are proverbially toullcss. in
business matter the Indlvjdual It equally
jo. and It would be to6 much to ask of
them to actually risk the sacrifice of cus
lorners and dividends by patronlting poor
ateamthlp service for the benenl of the
fero upoulldlrir of the port, but Phlla
delphla's steamship service It not poor
"tr PWr urging these shippers
should b. willing to agree to book all
ordinary freight, for which extreme ex"
pedltlon of movement, such at can only
bo had through express-ship service, u
not a primary desideratum, by their noma
Port.
-j?''u.vl(t0p.UI, emPWn through Phil
adtlphla's newly reorganised Chamber of
commerce and other commercial organl
aatlcns, Jt Is hoped to be able to make a
personal appeal for port support to every
manufacturer and large or small shipper
In Pennsylvania and adjacent States who
an b reached. This should result In
tfce prompt Increase of freight offered to
II ims which now have servlCt through
thla, port, and, naturally, when this In.

CORPORATIONS KILL SERVICE.
"Philadelphia, of course, Is seriously
handicapped because of tho fact that thole
are many ports that cannot be reached di
rect by steamer from Philadelphia. An
rect by steamer from Philadelphia, Ail
other factor which prrienf the bulldtna
no of tteamthtp line from the port or
Philadelphia If that at toon as vox pet
tome firm or corporation Interettcd In flr
titabUthmcnt of a line, the larger cor'
potations, Killing from .Veto York, with
railroad atnilatloni, do everything pot
slble to kill the tcrvlce from the pott,
either by reducing tatet or piidlnp on
more afeameri
"A rood Illustration of tho conditions
cxUtlng In Philadelphia might be gath
ered from the withdrawal of tho Amcr-Ican-Hnnallnn
Steamship Line. This llns
has been carr)lng cargo to Philadelphia
from Ha,n Francisco, thence going to New
York to discharge the balance of It"
cargo. Iiccauae of the fact that they have
lost one steamer out of a fleet of some
JS or 30, they ndvlse us that they werj
compelled to discontinue the service to
Philadelphia, et continue n service to
Charleston and Norfolk both ports being
far inferior to Philadelphia from a cargo
Standpoint, either east or west bound
Norfolk takes a lower Clffcrcnt'til than
Phlladelnhla. which therefore would per
haps Induce business through thnt port,
but on local tonnage between the two
porta there would be practically nothing,
while between Philadelphia and San Fran
cisco there is an Immense tonnage.
"There nro a number of other reasons
that I could quote that would perhaps
tire you In so doing. I therefore shall
close by saving that the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce has been, and will
continue to do, everything possible to se
cure the co-operation of business through
the city and State to patronize steamcri
sailing from the port of Philadelphia, as
well as taking up any discriminations
that may exist on the part of the rail
roads In making rates through the port
of Philadelphia in competition with any
other seaboard city on tho Attantla
coast."
