at a serious disadvantage with othel

w. II Wood, of Wood G. Bennett
Grocery Co, representing the j b
bers, said while the wholesale grocer
bought all their supplies delivered in
Cairo, and in this respect were not
much concerned about freight rates
10 Cairo, they were interested in
rates from Cairo. Under present con
ditions railroads could charge what
they pleased to consignees and the
shippers here were not any wiser and
there is no one to watch this and to
make any protest The need of a
traffic bureau was so apparent that
Il should not be difficult to raise $5,-

had worked hard; knew that Mr. Ma
gee a thorough traffic man himself,
and Mr.. Halliday, who had a traff c
man employed, had less need of a
bureau than other big shippers Ia
Cairo and were giving their time to
bring about the establishment of such
1 bureau from unselfish motives. II
would be great mistake to drop the
natter now and he hoped the efforts
would continue.
Ira Hastings, commission merchant.
protested against dropping the mat
ter. He said the shippers of the city
meet with heavy losses annually for
want of some one to look after the
rates.
John l.. Parham, of the Parham-
Matthews Hat Co. said his company
was not as large a shipper by freight
as others in the city, and they We're
doing less now than formerly. because
hey found they could ship by express
cheaper than by freight in many in
stances. But his firm world willingly

Mr.. Berry of the Chicago Mill, said
while his company had Rs interests
looked after from Chicago he felt sure
it would do its share toward main
a traffic bureau here, the need
Of which was so apparent, and was
becoming more pressing constnatly. .
Douglas Halliday moved, in order
TO bring the subject formally before
the meeting that : subcommittee
representing the lumber men and the

act with the present committee and
seek to interest sufficient number

A special meeting of the Cairo
called by President Aisthorpe and
Secretary Barclay, for the purpose Of
considering further the propos' tior
TO establish a Freight Traffic Bureau
in Cairo There was a goodly attend,
ance of members and in the absence
of President Aisthorpe who was un-
eXpectedly called to Chicago, Vice
President Antrim presided.
Mr.. Antrim stated the purpose of
the meeting and asked for a report
as to the state of things. J. r. Ma
gee, who, with G. S. Carey and II. T.,
Halliday, constituted the committee
Gress had been made lately and there
seemed to he no prospect of inducing
sufficient number of shippers to
identify themselves with the move.
pers seemed to be Indifferent to the
matter, seeming NOT to realize the i'm,
portance of having such a bureau.
Memphis had two commissioners Of
traffic: bureaus had been established
AT Little Rock. Texarkana, Fort
Smith, Shreveport. 0aD and many
other points where such a bureau was
less needed than in Cairo: but
these communitie, the shippers hal
awakened to the fact that unless they
took care of themselves they would
be swallowed up. In Cairo il seemed
n hopeless undertaking to induce
shippers to recognize The need of
traffic bureau and he advised that the
matter be dropped. Mr., Magee said
the committee had secured subscrp.
tions from firms amounting to $3.50
per month. and other sums promised
would bring the subscriptions to $220
per month. But not less than $4,000
year would meet the needs of the
bureau, and the committee of which
he was a member were discouraged
finding little or no response to their
efforts
Chairman Antrim was not inclined
to let the matter stand at this. He
called for discussion in the hope OF
developing some plan that would
promise success.
c. G. Miller of the Weis Peterson
Lumber Co. said the committee had
worked bard and had made an ex.
cellent start in securing subscriptions
to the amount of s22O per month.
This ought not to be thrown away.
and he felt that if the committee were
given some help in special lines. some
thing more might he accomplished
He said while there might be some
shippers who did not recognize the
need of traffic bureau in Cairo these
would he compelled to change their
minds very soon if the determinations
against Cairo in the matter of freight
rates during the last six months were
kept Up. In respect to lumber the
rates to and from Cairo had been
