Since the opening of Panama Canal, i water competition has acutely affected freight business on Canadian railways, Frank Watson, traffic expert, testifying on behalf of the Canadian National Railways, told the sitting of the Board of Railways Commission yesterday.

He aald that, while United States manufacturer were protected In that cduntry with high tariffs, the lower preierentlal and normal duties on many ccmmedit'.c In Canada from foreign .sources did not afford the same measure of protection to Canadian manufacturers. "If It comes to an Issue," Watson aald. j "ot either applying so-called competitive ; transcontinental rates to ' Intermediate I territory or withdrawing special rates to I Pacific Coast cities, we will adopt the latter alternative, cancelling these coast rates. If we arc forced out of this business. It will mean a loss ot revenue which at present contributes to our over- head and current expenses which will S.E.:htt madc u" m TOme other dl Prince Rupert-Raining, strong CANNERY PEOPLE ON TODAY'S BOAT Mr. anil Mrs. .1. l Mranc;. 4, :, Lord and A.
