Canal Rivalry Offsets Rates Protest in Canal Hearings
In Interstate Commerce Commission hearings, Charles Donnelly for Great Northern and other transcontinental lines warned that Panama Canal rate cuts could divert freight from Pacific coast terminals. He asserted railroads would set back haul rates to Spokane or inland points if Seattle rates block transcontinental trade, and said they will defend the plan in court. Seaport interests questioned the plan as discriminatory, while Spokane and Sacramento backed it.
