Austin, Texas. May SAN unusually
large attendance was the order before the
commission today, but what promised to be
a lively and interesting discussion degcn-
Grated into n mild and informal colloquy
as soon as Judge Reagan announced that
the commission had no intention of abol-
ishing tho rule permitting the localling in
and concentration of cotton. the sugges-
tion to that effect having been made simply
to provoke discussion and II possible de-
velop better method OF treating the sub
ject than the one in vogue.
. Complaints were invited against the ex-
listing cotton rate TO the gulf, but as those
present We're mostly interested in opposing
tho Gbrogaton of the concentration system
nothing was brought out that indicated any
violent dissatisfaction with the present cot
ton tariff.
The very significant announcement was
made by MIR. Ballingcr of Galveston, how
ever. that he would tomorrow advocate
the adoption OF ono-ratc cotton tariff
and reopen the Galveston Houston differ
ontial question and again attempt to show
why said difterentiai should be abolished.
The interior compress men who are here
tonight held a meeting and decided to
leave the localiug aud concentration Ques-
ton with the commission without further
discussion. and Mir. Robson OF the I.aGrauee
press agreed to withdraw his application
for different rates for flat and compressed
cotton.
