PIG IRON RATES
 MAY BE REDUCED Conference Between Railroad
 Men and Iron Men. Is HOPED WILL RESULT In Concessions in Freight Rates on Do- mestic and Export Iron Out of
 Birmingham - Prices of
 Iron Not Increased
IS HOPED WILL RESULT

A conference of iron manufacturers of Birmingham and the traffic managers of the Southern railroads was held in Atlanta yesterday for the purpose of considering the question of reduction in the freight rates on pig iron shipments out of Bir- mingham. The iron manufacturers stated the condition of the iron market and the necessity of lower freight rates to the on export shipments.
 Representing the Birmingham iron man. ufacturing companies were President Bax- ter and General Manager Mccormick, of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company; President Bush, of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company, and Georetary-Treasurer McQueen, of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. The railroads were represented by the traffic managers and general freight agents, among them being General Freight Agent Sevier, of the Alabama Great South, ern, and Division Freight Agent Browder. of the Southern Railway.
 The freight agents listened to the state ments of the ironmasters with much in- terest, and while nothing definite was given out at the conclusion of the confer snce, the impression prevailed that the re- quest of the iron men would be granted.
 The representatives of the iron manu- featuring companies returned to Birming- ham on the Southern train last night, irving here shortly after Il o'clock, and from statements they made to an Age Herald reporter they evidently expect the railroads to grant reduction of at least 50 cents a ton on iron shipped from Bir- mingham to interior points. The same is not true of export shipments.
 It will be recalled that a conference be- tween ironmasters and traffic managers of the Southern roads was held in this city about the 1st of August at which the former asked that they be given lower freight rates. The question was referred by the freight departments of the different roads to their respective executive com mittees, with the result that a negative answer was given few weeks later. In the meantime the iron situation did not i'm prove Prices continued as low, with an almost total absence of new demand.
 A few days ago the iron manufacturers requested the railroads to reopen the ques- tion and if possible reverse their decision not to grant the lower freight rates. This was done, and the conference called for yesterday in Atlanta
 The representatives of the roads who att tended the conference yesterday will report to their respective executive boards and 1t Is probable that a definite announcement will be made within a few days. In the meantime the requested reduction is ex- pected.

fly Associa ted Pr. ss

Atlanta, September 20.-(By Associated, Press.)-At a conference between the rep- resentative southern furnace operators and the leading officials of southern railroads at the kimball House today, held at the in- stigation of the former for the purpose of obtaining some concession in freight rates, decision was reached, which, in effect, re- duces the freight rate on furnace products 50 cents on the ton to Ohio and Mississippi river points and beyond, and to South Att lantic ports, Virginia and eastern points. This decrease applies solely to domestic business. Export rates were not interfered with. Three years ago there was an advance in domestic rates of I, and rates to the coast for export iron 5O cents on the ton. The fur mace operators made little complaint of the advance so long as prices of iron held up, but when the market weakened the f2-nace men urged reduction, to a rate commen- surate with the decline in pig iron Thi. the railroads declined to entertain, con- tending that their operating expenses would not justify the concession asked. While the concession Of 90 cents on the ton obtained from railroads was not all that was asked for, 1t Is thought the furnace operators are reasonably well satisfied. The meeting was behind closed doors.
 
 Consolidated Coal and Iron Company was elected chairman, and A. w. Graham traf. ic manager of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, was elected secretary.
 The furnacemen present were Nathaniel Baxter president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, Birmingham; J. Mcqueen, secretary of the Sloss- Shelf field Iron and Steel Company, Birming- ham; w. w. Weller, president of the Jeni- fer Iron Company, Jenifer, Ala. O. H. Hurlbut secretary of the Citico Iron Company, Chattanooga; Frank Eaton, sec- retary of the Virginia Coal and Iron Com pany, Bristol, Tenn; G. B. Mccormick, general manager of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, and Harry Cooper, of the Warner Iron Company, Nashville.
 The railroad men present were w. w. Finley, vice president, and J. M. Culp, traf- fic manager, Southern Railway; J. M Egan, president, and E. H. Hinton, traffic manager, Central of Georgia; M. H. Smith, president, Y. Vandenburs, vice president, A. w. Graham, traffic manager, Louisville and Nashville; B. F. Smith, traffic mana ger, and G. R.
