|. c. c. TAKES step TO
AID COTTON PLANTERS
Regulations Approved by M'Adoo and
Reserve Board Will Make Ware
house Receipts Negotiable.
EFFECTIVE UNTIL AUG. 81, 1915

Action vas taken yesterday by the In
terstate Commerce Commission which. it
is said, will go far toward relieving
Southern cotton planters in the situation
brought about by the European war.
The commission issued a series of reg
uIations to relieve the cotton storage sit
uation in the South, the regulations being
approved by Secretary McAdoo and the
Federal Reserve Board.
The regulations will facilitate the OBJ
tanning of warehouse receipts by the
planters for their cotton. These are ne
ton year ending August 81, 1915. The reg
ulations in part are as follows:
'First-Cotton shipped for warehOusing
and reshipment must be consigned to the
warehousing point and freight thereto
paid on basis of the full local rate, upon
which the delivering agent will give paid
freight receipt, which the holder of the
cotton should retain foPe the purpose of
securing reshipping privileges.
'Second-Upon reshipment from The
warehousing point, the shipper will be
required to surrender to the agent of the
line bringing the cotton into the ware
house point the paid freight bill covering
that identical cotton. The shipper also
will be required to surrender TO the rail-
way agent at the time of reshipment the
bill of -lading covering the movement of
the cotton into the warehousing point,
unless the bill Of Iading for such ship
ment shall have been previously surre:-
dered to the railway.
"Third-Thereupon the agent will issue
a through bill of lading to the further
final destination at the through rate from
the point of origin to such further final
destination in effect at the time of the
original shipment into the warehOusing
point, plus 8 cents per 100 pounds. pro-
vided such further final destination Is a
point to which there are established
through rates in effect from the original
point of shipment via the warehousinS
point. Where the rate from the original
point of shipment to such further final
destination is less than the rate from the
original point OF shipment to the ware
housing point, the lawful tariff rate to
the warehousing point, plus the stoppage
charge Of cents per 100 pounds, will oe
charged as a minimum.
"Fourth-ShIpments will be way-billed
out of the warhousing point at the bal
ance OF the rate, plus the stoppage
charge of 3 cents per 100 pounds.
'Fifth-Ali connecting line switching
charges will be in addition to the through
rates, and in addition to the 3-cent stop
page charge. and where cotton is re-
delivered to a carrier from a storage
warehouse for delivery at a point in the
same industrial zone the established
transportation charge shall apply"

ADAMS TEST|F|ES
 BEFORE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
Birmingham Man Says Ala bama Mines Have Fierce Competition From Out
 side Sources

Montgomery, September 25.-tSpecial.) That the coal operators is operating as eheaply as possible: that an advance in price caused by an advance in rates would tend to eliminate his business, and that the rate from Alabama mines to inter- state points is on an unfair basis as compared with tho rate from other mines to similar points were features in the coal rate hearing before the state rail- road commission today. The principal witness at todays session was W. c. Adams of Birmingham. sales manager of the Alabama Fuel and Iron company and the Maryland Coal company
 MT. Adams testimony was of wide scope. dealing with the cost of produc- tion and the inability of the mines to extend their market very materially on account of the fiercest of competition from mines outside the state This com petition, he declared, placed the Ala bama mines at very great handicap, inasmuch as the rates from these mines to interstate points was considerably higher than the rates from the mines in other states to the same points.
 According to Mir Adamsf any advance either in rate or price within the state would result in great loss to the mines on account of the hydro-electric people, who would be able, on account of their cheap fuel supply, to take business from the coal operators. MT. Adams dwelt at length on the exhibits furnished the com mission by E. A. DeFuniak. general freight agent of the Louisville and Nash vile, and Randall Clifton of Washing ton, traffic manager of the Southern rail- way. He showed considerable familiarity with traffic business, and gave lengthy comparison between the rates which ob- tain in Alabama and in other states. Much of his testimony was of a technical nature. He was cross-examined by rail- road officials and by attorneys repre- senting the operators.
 The first witness on the stand today was R. A. Chadwick of Birmingham, rate expert for the operators. who finished his testimony during the morning ses- sion. MT. Chadwick was first called to the stand yesterday, the operators have six or eight other witnesses to go on the stand and the hearing will hardly be concluded before next week.
