TURN DOWN PLAN
TO RAISE GRAIN
STORAGE CHARGE
interstate Commerce Commis
sion Disapproves Proposals
of Railroads
Washington, D. C„ Jan. 19.—The
Interstate Commerce Commission to
day disapproved proposals by railroads
to double and quadruple storage
charges on export Krain at elevators
at New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Boston, Newport News and other At
lantic ports where such grain is held
longer than sixty days.
New charges for the storage of ex
port grain in cars awaiting unloading
at Baltimore and Philadelphia also
were disapproved.
The proposals, made by the trunk
line railroads, were designed as a
jneaaure to relieve congestion at At
lantic ports and to insure, through
enforcement of penalties, a freer flow
FRIDAY EVENING.
of grain through the elevators. They
were opposed by the Baltimore Cham
ber of Commerce, the Commercial Ex
change of Philadelphia and other simi
lar organizations. A considerable pro
portion of the millions of bushels of
grain shipped to Atlantic ports for ex
port to the warring nations of Europe
would have been affected.
Elevators Choked
Another intention of the railroads
was to prevent the premature ship
ment of grain to the seaboard without
export contracts or prior to making
arrangements for its ocean transpor
tation. The scarcity of ships is said
to have resulted in choking the ele
vators with grain which could not be
moved without long delay.
A large number of cars also have
been withdrawn from traffic because
of the congestion at the elevators,
augmenting the general car shortage
and tending indirectly to increase the
cost of living.
in its decision the commisison holds
that the objects sought by the rail
roads should be attained by other
methods than the one proposed, which
would place heavy penalties upon the
t rattic.
Must Correct Misuse
"We are of the opinion," reads the
decision, "that the carriers should
study the situation in all its aspects
and that they can and should devise
methods to correct the misuse of their
equipment and facilities which would
have the full sanction of the commis
sion.
"It has not been shown that the
proposed charges will accomplish the i
end they seek, nor will they be free
from unjust discrimination. The pos
sibility of abuse leads to abuse and the
present chaotic conditions of the car
riers' terminals, of their tracks and
facilities make it imperative that cor
rective measures should be carefulh
studied and analyzed and established
and enforced rigidly to the end that
the equal treatment of all which the
law requires should not be easily
capable of being frittered away in the
hands of those who take advantage of
the least loophole to escape the obli
gations which should rest upon all.
While abnormal conditions require
drastic remedies, the cure must be one
which is lawfully permissible."
The proposed increases in storatce
charges varied slightly at different
ports. At Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Boston they provided for an increase,
of 100 per cent., or from % to % of
H cent a bushel for each five-day period
after sixty days, and for an increuse of
300 per cent., or % cent per bushel,
for each five-day period after 120 days.
The elevators affected have a capacity I
of approximately 16,000,000 bushels. |
