THE ' PITTSBUEG DISPATCH, '"TUESDAY " ' MAT 3, 189a .-- jr& A MILLION IN TRADE That Would Come to Pittsburg if the Bivcr Was Free and It Dad SETTER KAILROAD FACILITIES. Gist of an Argument Made Before Chamber of Commerce. the SEVERAL NEW MEMBERS ELEC1ED The Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce met for the first time in the new rooms In the Gcrmania Bank building yesterday after noon. There were a number of matters of interest brought up, the most important being embodied in a letter written by E. M. Grant, of Jlorgantown. He very prac tically shows lion Pittsburc would draw ?1,000,000 annually in new trade if Pitts burg had direct railroid facilities to the Upper Houongahela valley. Mr. Grant also calls attention to the fact that Pittsburg is entitled to "a free river. He sav, and is backed up by other good authority, that there is no law allowing toll to be collected on inter-State lreight Large Pittsburg coal operators are also of this opinion. 3Ir. Grant's communication is as follows: Two Things Very Necessary. There are tw o tilings your body could ac complish ilaht speedily, that would result in over $1,000,000 annually In new trade to Pitts lmrg It is wonderful the business men of I'ittsbnrjr have not determined years ago to accomplish them. One i a direct railroad communication be tween Pittsburg and tlieUpperilononcaliela Valley bj waj oftlio Baltimoieand Oliioand Pennsylvania Railroad irom latrchauce, Timirnsilln or Washington. Pa. At least S1,000,OOJ or trade Jrom tho State line clean to the Little Kanawha now goes to Balti more, tho Eit and Wheeling; that would rather trade in Pittsburg, if the rall load commnnicr.tiona were direct and could be reached in the ame length of time. A determined and concerted pnh on part of Pittsburg Chamber or Commerce noon tho railroad officials would see this remedied this eaon. 1 e arc at work at this end of tho line and want help. The other matter is a freo river. There is nbolntelj no law or right alio wing toll to be collected on inter State freight. I am in formed by the best constitutional lawyers that there is no question or doubt but the Supremo Court w ill so decide should it ever go to them. The big coal men of Pittsbunr should bring a test case. All the tolls they hae paid in the last sis: years can bo le collected, that is on coal shipped out of the State. This is worth millions to Tittsburg. Knock them out on the inter-State freight and thev will De glad to have the Government take their claim at half cost. The people of Pittsburg will get tho benefit in cheaper coal. The Coil Exchange Interested. The communication was well received by the Chamber and ordered to be placed in the hands of the Committee on Transporta tion and Railroads. This is a matter that is constantly grow ing in interest with the coal operators. The Pittsburg Coal Exchange has had the ques tion belore it for some time. Yesterday afternoon one of the largest operators in Pittsburg w as seen. "When told of the com munication he said: 1 beliei e Jlr. Grant is correct I do not think wc should pay tolls on inter-State Xieight. I have asked a number of lawyers myselfabout the constitutionality of the matter, and the mot of them agree with JMi. Grant. The Coal Exchange is now at v ork trying to get a test case before the Enpremo Court 1 think it will bo only a matter of a few years until the Government owns all the dams. It should be so It now has Xo 7, and there is a possibility of several more com ing into its control soon. Referred to a Committee. The California State Xicaragua Canal Commission sent a communication to the Chamber, asking it send a delegate to the Nicaragua Canal Convention to be held in St Louis, June 2. There proper means for the building of this waterway will be dis cussed. The letter was referred to the proper committee. The matter of improving the Mississippi was given a little attention. The Commis sion having it in charge sent a circular ask ing for the indorsement of the Chamber. The following new members were elected: "Whitney & Stephenson, William T. Nichol son, "W. H. Keech. Peter Keil & Son, Can onsburg Iron and Steel Company, "William Anshutz, James L Buchanan, Dr. E. A. "Wood and E. K. Hum & Co. LATE NEWS IN BRIEF. Locusts are ravaging South Africa.
