TO MOVE ON New
RY. Commission
Shippers of State to Appeal Against
The Southern Cassifi-
cation.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. S.-The CONNER
cial bodies of the state are preparing
to move in force on the railroad COM
mission next week to demand the re
peal of the order adopting the South
ern Classification of local freight
rates, in lieu of the Mississippi classi-
fication.
During the past few days the two
new members of the commission,
George R. Edwards, Jr., and w. R.
Wilson, have been deluged with letters
from shippers, merchants and whole,
salers urging that the matter be re-
constructed, and rehearing given.
AS there is no legal ground of at
tack on the Southern classification, so
far as known, its opponents must de
pend wholly on the new commission,
and it is generally believed that a re-
hearing will be granted.
The opponents of the Southern clas
sification do not claim that the Missis
sippi classification is ideal, and frankly
admit that many of its tariffs are in
equitable, but they contend that the
classification just adopted means a
heavy advance in local freight rates
in this state, and will render competi
tion we'll night impossible. Secre
tary Frank H. Andrews, of the vicks
burg Board of Trade, asserts that one
iobbing house alone will be forced tC
pay rates on freight fully $4,000 pei
year in excess Of the present tariffs
If the Southern classification is en-
forced And further alleges that tn,
reductions carried by the Southern
classification are trivial when compar
ed with the heavy advances carried
in the Southern classification.
