However, the gulf ports are another proposition.

They have been getting an immense tonnage during the past year. They do that by making whatever rate they choose and regarding no differential but that established by their own sweet will. If the Interstate Commerce Commission would establish a just differential for New Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola, New York would get some of the relief which it is seeking, just as Baltimore, Philadelphia and all the North Atlantic ports would. The trouble Is that the gulf ports are making such rates that the North Atlantic lines cannot meet the competition and live, and is to the gulf ports that New York will have to turn in recovering her lost commerce."
