Low RATE ON MUNGER BALE
Commission Puts 1t on Same
Footing With Compressed Bale.

The state railroad commission on
Friday, after hearing further the petit
tion of i. S. CowarJ of Arlington for a
rate on Munger cotton bales, passed an
order requiring the railroads to trans
port bales compressed by the new
system at cents per hundred, or 80
cents a bale less than is charged for
uncompressed bales.
The rate applies only from Arlington
to Savannah and Brunswick, as the
oaly Munger press in the state is now
located at Arlington at the ginnery
owned by Mr.. Cowart.
Tt was shown during the hearing
that the bales compressed by the
Munger system have even a greater
density than the cotton compressed by
the big steam presses, which are own
ed by the railroads.
OLD PRESSES MAY HAVE TO GO.
The indications are that this is the
first step toward putting out of bus
mess the big steel congresses, which
are practically owned and operated by
the railroads. The new compress
system can be put ia at less than one
tenth the cost of the big presses. and
railroad officials say there is no doubt
that the new bale is an entirely salts
factory package for handling.

ed to the city court forty-one cases,
and there were already on the docket
more than fifty cases that had accumu'
lated the past several months. No
parties under bond had been tried
since July on account of the pressure
of farm work and the demand for labor,
and this necessarily made heavy
docket.
