Wharfage rate fight grows as Merchants oppose freight hike
At a special meeting of the Merchants Protective Association, a plan is advanced to push for a new freight rate schedule. A committee of nine will confer with local freight agents on opposition to an estimated 20 percent rate increase, set to take effect August 1, with charges listed as 26 cents per ton to general merchandise and 60 cents for Alaska bound goods, arguing distance does not justify higher costs and fearing Tacoma merchants may gain business at Seattle’s expense.
