Birmingham, Feb. 12-(Special.)-J. K. Ridgely, division passenger agent or the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. with headquarters in New Orleans, Is In the city, coming here for the purpose of mak- ling contracts with industrial concerns in this district who are in need of labor. MT. Ridgely has with him two Italian labor agents and 1t is proposed to bring to this district something like three thou sand Italians now working in the sugar fields and on levees in Louisiana to take up common work in this section.
 About three hundred Italians will work in the coal fields around Littleton. in the extreme western part of Jefferson Coun- ty. Railroad construction companies with headquarters in this city will also contract for some of this labor. Mir. Ridgeiy expects to place a large portion of the three thousand men waiting for work. Captain Catanze, the Italian consul at this point, is watching the work of placing the men and will make report to the consul of the. Italian government sta toned in New Orleans. Several years ago the Brown-H -Hematite ore mines at Goe- thite were worked with Italian labor but 1t was not successful It is understood that the Italians to be brought here have done more or less hard labor in this country

CHEAPEST INSURANCE.
 LOWEST STORAGE.
Write us before selling your cot ton, we can help you. We quote:

competition who does not receive the cut rhtes." ,,
 After reviewing provisions of the biii' the report says:
 .'The first and second propositions prac- tically exhaust the power of legislatlon to prevent rebates and discrtminauons through criminal prosecutiones. we con ceiye it to be the desire of Congress to absolutely prevent, if possible, the grant ing of discriminations in the way or ral- way rates to favored shippers. Ihs IS py many claimed to be the greatest abuse Of the day. But we all know that the ofh- cers of the railroads who grant rebates and the officers of the private corpora tions who solicit and accept them, are men of high standing in their respective communities, and that 1t IS very difi- cult matter to obtain evidence sinlclent to indict them and still more difficult to obtain judges and juries who will convlct them."
 The report says further: Your commit tee believes that the legislation proposed by the Perkins bill, together with the present interstate commerce law, covers about all the ways that thought or lan- guage can devise or describe to prevent the granting of determinations in favor of one shipper as against another or the building of one concern through the fa- voritism of railroad corporal atos.
 In addition to the amendments hereto fore published the House Committee re- stores the words whenever the Attorney General shall direct, either of his own motion or upon the request of the Inter- state Commerce Commission" which ap- peared in the original draft of the bill and was eliminated by the Senate.

 mentS.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The report of the Elkins rebate bill, ordered favorabiy re- ported by the House Committee on Inter- state Commerce, yesterday, was hled m the House today by MT. Mann of llh- nois.
 After the ext2 7sive hearings before your committee upon the general subject of proposed amendments to the interstate commerce law" the report reclleS, u was strongly urged by the memoers or the Interstate Commerce Commission that the provisions of existing laws proVlding Tor punishment of the officers and agents of railroads, but not for punishment Of the railroad itself, prevented the enforcement of the law forblddwing rebates and dis crimlnatlons. The experience of the Inter state Commerce Commission has been that it is impossible to obtain proof of the granting of a rebate by the offlcer or a railroad to some favored shipper unless the officer himself gives the evidence, In which case he Is free from prosecution
 Continuing the report says: Ihe ex- isting law prohibits rebates and dlscrlml- nations, but does not prevent the cuttlhg of published rates unless discrlmlnauoh Is shown. In most cases 1t Is practically lm- possible to show the discrimination In the investigation made by the Interstate Com merce Commission respecting rates on dressed beef and packing house products from Kansas City to Chicago, It was finally discovered that for years the rail- roads had constantly and habitually dis regarded their published tariffs and had carried such products as at rates below the published tariff to an amount so great that the difference between the pup lie rate andt he actual rate amounted to millions of dollars year. The efrect or such secret cutting of rates Is to place Iii the hands of a small aggregation or snip pers the absolute control of the business because no person can afford to enter into
