Every effort will be -made by the shippers to have a restraining order issued; against the railroads, preventing " them from putting the new rales' into effect. ' ' " The meeting was called to order at 11 o'clock, about thirty men being in attendance. Among the out-of-town visitors were M.. E. Bcaman, secre- n.ary of the North Carolina Traffic As sociation and R. D. Christman, . of the Equitable Freight Adjustment Bureau,. Wilmington, N. , C. The-meting authorized Mr. Bea man to instruct J.. F. Fishback; at torney ;of the state traffic association, to ask for a suspension of Ihe new rates. A special fund,' of whieh- H. E. Barlow is to be treasury, will be rais ed o .fight the case of the shippers. H. W., Armstrong was chairman hi of the meting. . - Big v Increase In Ra tes Some; interesting lights on the sit uation were brought out by Mr. Bea ntan.' He stated that if the propose rates went into effect, it would mean an increase of 26 cents per hundred pounds on first-class freight between New York and New Bern. Other class I rates would be in proportion. ( ; Present rates on shipments from the west also would be raised, the in- Ci-ease being from $1.22, the present rate, ito $1.85. The -increased rate on . a-barrel - of flour alone, Mr. Beanian said, would be 68 cents.. ."I have done considerable figur ing this matter," said the traffic as sociation secretary, "and I estimate that if the new rate becomes effec- live, it will. cost every person over 1G years of age in the coast towns eleven dollars per year. You gentle men know well enough that business houses have to make legitimate pro fits out of the merchandise they sell. Therefore, it 'freight rates are in creased," it will mean that the in crease, it will mean that the increase is passed on to the public and that the pub.ic will have to dig down into their pockets to pay. Stilled Competition "The railroads claim that they have no waterway competition.. In making that assertion they are in error. More than that, I believe we can prove that It was due entirely to the railroads that the four steam boat lines that served' this section years ago were put out of business. When the railroads came here they put their freight rates so low that those lines had to go quit operations "Aside from 'waterway competition, however, the coast towns, in justice to themselves, deserve a lower freight rate than the inland towns. The merchants of GoldsbjOro, Ral eigh, Char'.ottle arfd other inland towns ship in every direction. The merchants .of New Bern, Washing 'on, Wilmington &nd other coast towns can ship ,n only one direction and that is to the westward. They are on the coast so, naturally, they cannot ship to the east. "If the railroads succeed in their determination to raise our rates, it Jr. will forever keep new Industries from coming to this part of the state. A man rould be a fool to build .arfac-' tory in a coast town " unless he was allowed a. preferential rate. Foj the ' rlfare of . our coast towns' we ' must ' fight this, thing .to a finish. i. --!' : '.- , "I was talking to a NewErtgland ho said the entire New England sec- iron was I benefited by ; the business,-'1 ' Uione through :.the port of Boston, In ... t ft be same way, . all of North Carolina an be benefited throagh thp business , i ..". done , through its ports.
