Suspension Is Asked On Lumber Rate Cut

Pending a decision of the State Railroad Commission in connection with the complaint of the Los Angeles I-umber Products Company against the Southern Pacific, charging that lumber rates from Los Angeles Harbor are excessive and discriminatory as compared with rates from other California producing points, the company has asked the commission to suspend a reduction in lumber rates that is scheduled to take effect on the 30th inst. from McCloud in the northern part of the State.

The company contends that as lumber companies located at McCIoud are the chief competitors of the Los Angeles Lumber Products Company, it is unjust to allow a reduction in rates from that point while higher rates are maintained from Los Angeles llarbor.

The asserted discrimination against Los Angeles, the company asserts, will be increased should the northern rate reduction take effect. The McCloud companies will enjoy a 60 to 65-cent loiver charge per 100 feet than local shippers pay, it is asserted.
