FREIGHT WAR
ON AUSTRALIAN COAST. (Australian Press Association) SYDNEY, October I. A freight war has begun in the coastal shipping services of Australia, at the instance of the Patrick Line. The company’s two small steamers have repeatedly made serious inroads into trade that was originally being handled by the large inter-State Shipping Coys. The Patrick Line rates have been reduced by 20 per cent. The Associated Shipping Companies to-day fired a broadside by announcing they would make reductions in their freight charge from one and a-half to five per cent, below that of the Patrick Line. It is calculated that the saving to the shippers of cargoes will as a result aggregate two hundred thousand sterling per year.
