 The prolonged dialogue referred to grew out of nearly a half hour of verbal differences over the attempt Of Counsel Stringfeilow to make the wit ness admit that Montgomery should be given rate basis alone on the cost of transportation from New Orleans to Mobile by water. Mir. Compton insist ed like Mir. Miller. of the Mobile and Ohio. that New Orleans Is similarly circumstanced to Mobile in the matter not alone of water competition but Of coast wise traffic and interior trade. Pensacola Conditions.
 The witness said he went to Pensa- complaint of the Board of Trade at that same basis as Mobile as to rates from Evansville and St. Louis.
 The rates to Gulfport. Miss, by the Louisville and Nashville are the same as at New Orleans from St. Louis and Louisville. This was to meet the com petition of the Illinois Central and the Gulf and Ship Island roads.
 At this Juncture the Commission ad- tourned for a recess until 2 o'clock.

 Shortly after the afternoon session of the hearing had opened with the completion of the testimony of C. 5. Compton, of the Louisville and Nash r vile railroad. John Craft. President of the Mobile Commercial Club, pre- sented petition to the Commission to intervene in behalf of the railroads.

filed by Mir. Green showing very much tho same as was intended by Mir. Capps Of the SeAboard Air Line, who pre- ceded him. It gave an illustration of the jobbins territory of Montgomery on the present basis of rates and what the territory would be If the city were gwen the Birmingham rates from the West and also the Mobile rates from the same section of country.
 MT. Green explained at length the reason why Mont gomery' does not get as low through rates from Omaha, is because Mobile rates are governed by; the New Orleans rates. the latter being the product of abnormal compe- tbtion. There are. no. differentials on merchandise articles from Omaha or Kansas City to the river.
 The rate to Montgomery from those points is made up of the publish ed tarif rate from the Mississippi river crossing with regular added as far
 Montgomery, per SC, is not entitled to as low rates as Is BirTndn ghan, ac- cording tos the witness. The Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham has put in reduced rates from Memphis to BirmIngham.
 Tt was explained by the witness that the giving of gasoline motors mixed var 11Cf13 epC N44S0tAASd- ton was due to compulsory action so far as the South ern Railway was con cerned.7 The Frisco and other western lines put in the classification over the ob3ectdnn of@8he Southern classification Committee. The concession was the result of pressure brought. to bear by the powerful international Harwester Compsny. This corporation is the or- ly large concern that manufacturers on fhA earnA nrr0up1 1s- s.a sOlfn A an ainAs and harvesting and agricultural imple- ments.
 MT. Green described the large changes Sthat wonld result from the reductdons aSksd for. The general rslatdvs adjustment of rates in the Southeast would be so shifted by giv- sng lower rates from Louisville and the rates from Memphis to Atlanta on the same basis in spite of the big difference in the, distance of the hsuls. 1t would also make the. rates from Louisville and Atlanta the same as Birmingham enjoyes.
 Estsninteds Loss.
 The total estimated loss in revenue per annuna by the adjustment asked for was fxed by MT. Green at $77b.000 to the Southern Railway. Consequent reduction of rates to Nashville would also result from the changed rates from the West to Mont gomery. These rates are constructed. like the Mont gomery rates. in relation to the Ohio and 'Dfississippd river crossings. There would also be injurious reductions in Georgia.
 There was a grand relationship spoken of by MT. Green. of rates be- tween the manufacturing cities of the East and those of the middle West both sections striving for supremacy of trade in the Southern territory.
