ACTION DEFERRED
 BY MNISSION
RATES ON COTTON WILL BE lN- VESTIGATED FURTHER BEFORE DEFINITE ACTION IS TAKEN IN ALABAMA.

Montgomery. January 9.--(Special9--The state railroad commission after hearing from all the roads on the question of rates on cotton to the mills, deferred de- eision until the February meeting in or der to further look into the testimony
 It was decided that the commission had no right to compel the Central Of Georgia and the Louisville and Nashville to make connections at Andalusia for transfer of freight Several minor freight tariffs were approved.
 Nine railroads were under examination in the cotton rate matter, as follows: Southern railway. Alabama Great South ern, Louisville and Nashville, Atlantic Coast Line. Central of Georgia, Seaboard Air Line, Frisco system. Mobile and Ohio, and Western railway of Alabama.
 The investigation was especially con- eerned with the rates of the Alabama carriers to mill points on the raw cotton shipped from points within the state. An exhaustive comparison was made of the rates applying on the several railroads in Alabama with each other and with the tariffs of other states.
