SWITCHING TOLLS
UNJUSTLY LEVIED
Shippers 1 Protest Against Rail
way Charges Reinforced by
Salient Facts
Attorney Mann 'Scores Import"
ant 'Point by Introducing
a* Harriman Circular :
'\u25a0» Attorney Seth Mann scored ,an im
portant point yesterday against j the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe In
the switching 1 case before Commissioner
Lane when he used one of the circu
lars of the > Harriman line to undermine
the ',; position : ; of \ the - railroads. • He
showed by the circular -that switching
was regarded among;. the railroads as
a part: of the through haul, to be paid
from .the through rate,' and riot an
extra service to be met by a payment
outside of the scheduled tariff." .,
The circular was? in ; many ways an
interesting document, and apparently, a
rare species of literature, as: the trafflc
officials „of the' two companies were
unable v to. furnish, the commissioner
with copies.
The protest against the switching
charge was made by the. Pacific coast
jobbers' and manufacturers' association
and through Mann,, their, 'legal :repre-.
sentative, they began .; yesterday ; the
presentation of their case. ; V \u25a0
- It appears that the .Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe charge a fee of $2.50
for every car switched between the main
line and spur or industry tracks. This
charge is ' made in San Francisco, . Los
Angeles and in a few small cities, but
In: no other commercial center in the
United States isi it imposed! The pro
test-against the fee- is based on the
ground that it is illegal; that even if
legal it is exorbitant, and that' it is
dißcrlminatory.
LOS ANGELES CO-OPERATES V
• .The merchants* and manufacturers'
association of Los Angeles, has filed, a
similar ; protest, and the attorneys of
the 'organization, Edward G. Kuster
and Joseph Loeb co-operat«d ; with
Mann. The Los Angeles attorneys had
conducted a similar hearing in the
southern -city and were able, to give
material assistance in the present in
vestigation. \u25a0' , \u0084 .
\u25a0'';\u25a0, Attorneys Peter F. Dunne and C. TV.
Durbrow appeared for the Southern Pac
ific and Attorneys Camp and Norton
for the Santa Fe. The traffic officials
of both companies were in court. : ; .
Mann presented the case of the local
shippers with a thoroughness that left
no point uncovered. He had amassed
an array- of facts that .will make,; the
case notable 1n the history of . railroad
litigation.- He: dwelt at length 'upon
the -Southern Pacific circular showing
the 5 agreement between the Santa Fe
and "the Harriman road for mutual
switching. It appears that when the
Santa Fe hauls from the east a car
intended for a shipper on a Southern
Pacific spur track it pays the Southern
Pacific 50 cents a ton, or a minimum -of
$7.50 a car to do the switching. Al
though the Southern Pacific receives
this amount for the /service, which
costs next to nothing,' it: in turn
charges "the: "consignee;* s2.so for the
service, 'thus; collecting: at both ends.
This arrangement is mutual j and works
to the advantage sOf; the Santa Fe- on
shipments to merchants on 'the spur
tracks of that line.'
"OUT OF THROUGH RATE"
In the notices informing, agents of
this arrangement appears this intro
ductory clause:
"-The- switching arrangements re
ferred to apply {to through as well as
to local traffic and for the information
of yourselves and;others interested the
road ; receiving \u25a0 the line haul will pay
to ; the road- performing the switching
service the' following rates out of the
through rate, or.out.pf its proportion of
the' through rate." \u25a0
Mann pointed out the significance of
the phrase "out of : the > through rate I ,'
and emphasized its \u25a0 importance.
The first witness was; John SI. .Puw
nett, a civil engineer, who had pre
pared a number ; of maps showing spur
track arrangements in Portland and
San Francisco. In Portland no switch-
Ing charge Is exacted. \u25a0.••\u25a0
\u25a0 E "W. Parker, trafflc- manager of the
Marshall Wells -hardware company of
Portland described conditions ;in that
city He was followed .on the stand by
j W Chapman, trafflc .director of the
Pacific hardware and ; steel company.
Chapman occupied the • stand for, the
remainder of the day. He testified that
the- Southern Pacific | made no switch
ing charges -in any of the ibigrci ties out
of California I and "discriminated :in f a"
vor of certain shippers Hn San Fran
cisco. The 'Pacific improvement com
pany,, he said, had a switching rate of
$1.25: a car. In some cases the switch
ing was done- free of -charge.
SWITCHED "WITHOUT CHARGE
.Chapman said further that at Point
Richmond the > Santa ;Fe > made
switching charge "i. to the i. Standard oil
company nor to the California; wine
association. It was also developed that
freight?** for: the orient ;. was : switched
without charge and: that In many 'in
stances grain, 'flour,; lumber and empty
beer;: kegs were 'exempt .from 'the
switching^ fee. ,; :' "," ;• >" -"./ -•
V In Chico* the switching rate in many
cases '\u25a0\u25a0 is"; $1.50 ! a "car. Inij Sacramento
some Vcars, are 1 handled free and /for
others a charge fpt-}-; $1.50 or $2.50 ?- Is

placed at 756.
The propoi c d
building of the
chamber is now\ as
sured.! While no
definite plans were
announce d. It is
probable that the
chamber will seek
a location in Mar
ket street. . below
Kearny. The new
structure undoubt
edly will be a two:
story affair, the* quarters of the cham
ber occupying the: upper floor and the
street floor to .be rented.
-It is not the plan. to have "an un
necessarily, expensive building I.'but1 .' but it
Is proposed to locate it in a desirable
business section and have it stand as
an. evidence of the organized strength
of. the united commercial interests of
San- Francisco. Such a building, stand
ing, as it would, for a commercial or
ganization, .would be a direct asset to
all the business interests and a mat
ter of pride and substantial advantage

port; also the future excursions planned

that the chamber take up the matter

the report a "vote of. thanks was ex
tended to Moore and a similar vote
