WORK ON PROBLEM
. OF FORCING ROADS
TO REWE|GH COAL
Railroad Commission Will
Hold Session Here Tues
day-Slatter Discusses
the Issues Involved

For the purpose of resuming it's con-
sideration of the request of certain con-
signees that the railroads be compelled
to rewegh coal when asked to do so,
the Alabama railroad commission will
begin a session in Birmingham Tuesday
morning in the Hotel Morris. 1t is ex-
quired for the completion of the investi-
cation. The members of the commits
sion, Charles Henderson, president, and
Frank Julian and Leon McCord, asso-
ciates, will reach the city Monday even
ing.
Already the probe into the justice of
the request and complaint of the con-
signees has been extended to consid-
erable degree. The commission deter
mined to conclude the work in Birming-
ham in order that witnesses would not
have to make the trip to Montgomery
for the purpose of testifying. No sub
poenas have been issued. but it is stated
that there is no doubt but that a suffi-
cient number of witnesses will be on
hand.
Proposition of Consignees
The problem, according to those who
buy coal for retailing purposes, and John
7. Slater. manager of the freight bu-
reau of the Merchants and Manufact-
urers association, is a most serious and
vital one.
I'VE do not want" stated Mr.. Slater
yesterday. ito congest conditions, and
Il
sary burden on the railroads. But when
we have reason to believe that any car
| of coal delivered in Birmingham is under
weight, we want that car reweighed.
I'VE are willing to bear our portion
| of the burden. For instance, If the COM
mission should rule that the railroads
| should act when asked to, and we should
complain that any car is under weight,
and it should be determined that the car
is not more than 5000 pounds under
weight, then we will pay fee of 81.
\ Should the car be found TO be more than
5000 pounds under weight the 50 is to be
refunded.
| I'VE believe that the proposition is fair
\ enough.
Thirty Tons Missing
| 1.-THE people after ALL are the ones who
suffer, For it happens that never are
the people represented Suppose, for in
| stance. that we order car of coal and
that car should be a ton or two tons
short in weight. it would be in accord
ance with human nature were we to in
crease the price in order that our losses
might be only nominal. 1t is the way
| of the world
Mr.. Slater stated that the origin of
the complaint was in the fact that cars
| delivered as being of a certain weight,
| when reweghed on consignees scales
We're found to be far short in weight

HERES THE WAY
saving by the Month Beats Them All

After all is said and done. there is no
such thing as haphaZard saving. The saw
ing man always has and always will, do
it Systematically. A few men save so
much a day, some SO much a week. but
the custom of the people of this country
points to the month as the period for lay
ing by money. 1t would be safe to say
that 80 per cent of the money saved by
people who work for living, Is laid
by in monthly installments.
The savings stock of the Jefferson
County Building and Loan association at
i19 North Twenty-frst street appeals to
you. Think about it and call. Six per
cent is the least rate paid.

A,Rr,cHT POLITICAL SUPPORT.

Springfield, ILL.,, News: Charles II.
Crane Of Chicago, seems to have a
cinch on some kind of tat political
job.
AS a staunch republican, he was ap'
pointed by President Taft as minister
to China. During the interim between
the time of his appointment and the
date of his sailing for his new post
he talked so much and so indiscreetly
that his appointment was revoked.
Then he became the friend and ally
of Theodore Roosevelt, and contributed
a. large amount of money to the Roose'
welt campaign.
When things began to look doubtful
for Roosevelt and more promising 1or
Wilson, Crane took handful OF MS
money and contributed to the wilson
cause. . aa
The conclusion that one 1s almost
sure to win when one puts his money
on the red, the green or the black IN
one throw, is evidenced by the TACT
that Crane has now been given the op'
ton by the present administrator 10
