a shippers association for the protection
of the business interests of the city, 1t is
shown that a lively Interest is being
taken in the movement. Thirty OF
more firms have written approving,
All stated that they would like to be-
come members of the proposed associa'
ton.

the project that it is not the object oil
the proposed association to turn Wash
ington into a manufacturing city, buI
rather to bring the city more wholesale
houses to engaged in business with the
South. But the city has to contend
with discriminating railway rates. as
well as with the feet that there is nc
organized body to develop the shipping
trade. Ii this way Washington, the
promoters say, while il has many natural
advantages as distributing center foI
the South, has to contend inefectusll,
against Baltimore, Philadelphis, Ne"
York and AIexan Iris.
