Business Depression and Lack of
Demand the Real Trouble.
MZlt4ftfBl.0.S?ttlmr4iri
Washington, 1 C In testifying ho
foro tlio Sonnto Coininlttoo on Inter
ntutu Commerce, which Is conducting
tin Inrinlry Into tlio mllnvid Bltuntlon,
Julius Kruttsclinltt, clmlrnmn of tho
boiml of the Southern INiolllc com
pany, went Into girnt detnll ns to tho
effect of frolght rattw on produce Bhlp
montfl, foreign ntul domestic. Tho
tnnlu points ho inatlo In thin pnrt of
his testimony wore :
First That business depression Is
not tho result of high freight rntco.
Second That tho real cause of stag
nation In produce shipments Is lack
of mrtrket or profiteering.
Ho said In pint :
A widespread propaganda Is being
carried on to arou.se public sentiment
ngnlnst existing freight rateH, whereua
tho fact is that even hIiico tho rateH
have been ndvnnevd tho cost of trans
porting commodities la far less than
the toll taken by the commission mer
chant nnd the retailer for buying and
selling them.
Public Misled ns to Situation
I'eoplo aro misled and conclude Hint
high rates have stopped tho movement
of a largo amount of freight nnd that
the rnllwnyB would nmkn more money
If they would reduce, the rntea nnd
thoreby rovlvo tho truffle.
Thcro Is the strongest reason to bo
Uovo that Uio very great reduction In
traffic has 1ccn duo almost entirely to
general business conditions that am
world-wldo In their effect, and that
would have coma If there hd been oo
advance In freight rate.

of shipping hero nnd abroad aro mat
ing nwny in Idleness. Many commodi
ties would not move even If tlio frolght
charges on them wero nbollahod en
tirely, because proilucers enn find no
market.
That tho decline In business Is not
duo to prohlbltlvo freight rates Is
shown by tlio following examples :
In January of this yenr tho total
tonnngo of lines wcat of El 1'nso and
Otrdan ovorattvl by the Southern Pa
clllo Company foil off 41 per cent.
Tlio combined Intrastate freight ton
naco In Arlcona and Nevada declined
SO per cent although no Increase In
tho Intrastate frolffht rates In those
States has boon a yet nuthortced
or made effect I vo. This decrease em
braced grain, hay and livestock, as
woll as ores and othor commodities.
COTTON UNSHIPPED FOR LACK
OF MARKET
Of n Texas cotton crop of over four
million bales. 40 per oent remnln un
mnrkrtad. The average cost of rail
and water shipment from produclno
point to Liverpool has been reduced
about S2'A per 100 pounds. In tlio
fnco of which about one-half million
bales of cotton less than normal hnve
been exported to Liverpool. Obvlounly
tho frelAht mto Is not responsible for
tho restricted movement.
During September, October, and
Novomber, 19i.'0, 4R per cent Ices rlco,
r0 per cent less canned ualmon and
77 per rent Ii-sh dried fruit were ox
portod than during tho same months
of tho previous year, although tho
reduction In ocenn rates was sub
stantially more than the Increase In
Inland rail rates, bo that the nlaterial
decline In the exports of these com
modities was In tho face of a less ag
gregate cost of transportation.
Tho Caso of tho Fruit Growers
The troubles of tho California lemon
grower have attracted much attention.
Ho claims ho Is unablo to ship his
product because of tho Increased
freight rates. A removal of all tho
recent Increase of tho rato on lemons
would not help him. Ho hnB u ruto by
sea through tho Panama CfinaJ.of less
tfinn 'half 38 "per cont of tho "ran
mto, yet his lemons aro not marketed.
Tlio nverngo prlco of n cantnlonpo
laid down In Now York In tho season
of 1020 was not qulto 11 cents. As
they woro retailed at about 25 cents,
thero Is n further profit to somebody
of H cents per cantaloupe
Tho manngors of tho propaganda for
a general' reduction of freight rates
linvo lost sight of tho fact thnt In Oc
tober, 1020, 1,105,821 cnrlonds of coal
were moved, being tho maximum mov
