lnterstote Commerce Gommission Officiqlly Okoys Lumber Rqte Cuts

Washington, D.C.-The Interstate Commerce Commission on $ugust 26 officially authorized the reductions up to 371/o in freight rates on carload lumber which hav-e been in effect since last December 2l pending outcome of the ICC investigation into their reasonableneis. The rates apply_ on lumber shipped by rail from Oregon into Northern California, Southern California and Aiizona.

The ICC allowed the reduced rates on minimum weights of 50,000, 60,000 and 70,000 pounds but found the new rites not justified on shipments of less than 50,000. The rail carriers had proposed the reductions to meet competition of highway and_ocean carriers, and to restore the iate parity between southern Oregon and Northern California shipperi that existed between 1927-54.

The reductions authorized last month would also establish pa-rity with_intrastate railroad rates on lumber ship- ments between California points.

The new rate schedules were originally filed in May 1958 but suspended.by the ICC for seven months before-being allowed to go into effect last December.

The Commission's decision ruled that the reduced rates would not adversely afiect other carriers "in a manner which would constitute destructive competitive practice.,, The ICC cited the substantial increase in recent- years in consumption of lumber and forest products in Cilifornia and Arizona, and said rail carriers have not benefitted from the increased demand for lumber and wood products in California and Arizona but had sufiered a subitantial decline in this freight traffic.

Whittier an Army Base

Whittier, Alaska, also is a U.S. Army base and is located on the year-round open water of Prince William Sound. While only 65 mile,q flqrn Anchorage, its average tempera- ture is about 10 degrees higher. Whittier, however, has much heavier snowfall than Anchorage (average about 260 inches p. er winter) and for this reaJon the niw Koppers plant will only be able to operate about seven and one-half months of each year.

Creosote and other preservative chemicals for the opera- tion will be brought in from Seattle, Wash. Steam and electricity yil_l be supplied Koppers from the adjacent lum- ber mill of Columbia Lumber Company. Timber will be selectively cut from the nearby Chugach National Forest under the direction of government foresters. If emlock, which has not been marketable in the past in this area, will be the ryajol wood cut. Koppers will piy the U.S. Forestry service for timber-cutting rights.
