Los Angeles, Sept. 30.-Wtih the
cotton market undermined by war con-
ditions and campaign under way
to provide the small grower with
enough money for living expenses, the
Southern Pacific has filed an appH-
cation with the State Railroad Com
mission for permission to readjust
cotton rates upward. A copy of the
application was received yesterday at
the commissions branch office here
Crates as now published says the
application, "are considered entirely
too low for the service performed" .
Back of the proposal, according to
General Freight Agent Stubs of the
Southern Pacific, is the necessity of
taking cognizance of the advent of
the compressor into the Imperial Val
ley and also of creating a differential
between the Los Angeles and San
Francisco rates, which will assure
the railroad the long haul in compe-
tition with water forms of transpor-
tation.
The prayer of the Southern Pacific
is for the sanctioning of a rate on
compressed cotton from Calexico and
Glamis to this city and its port of
40 cents and to San Francisco of 55
cents, and an advance of the rate on
uncompressed cotton to this city and
it's port from 40 to so cents. This
would provide a 15-cent differential
between the Los Angeles and San
Francisco rates, according to Mr..
Stubbs, which would assure the rail-
road the long haul by the simple ex-

pedient of leaving so little for the
steamship companies after the cot
ton gets to the port by rail that thew
could not make any money on the
traffic.
The lowness of the compressed rate
in comparison with the uncompressee
rate is explained by the fact that
COMPRISING makes for weight and the
revenue-yielding capacity of the box
car Is thereby increased.
Cotton Conference Today.
Plans to provide a market for I'M
perial Valley cotton will be discussed
today at a meeting of the executive
officers of the Chamber of Commerce
with representatives of the growers
and financial and other interests at
the Chamber of Commerce. With the
outbreak of the European war and the
consequent closing of the great Eng
lish mills, the bottom dropped out of
the cotton market. AS a result the
growers of the Imperial and Palo
Verde valleys find themselves with
much the largest crop of cotton on
record on their hands, for which there
is no sale, and ON which they can
borrow little or no money, due, IN
part, to perturbed conditions in the
banking world, The purpose Of the
meeting, which is scheduled to begin
at 9:30 a. M, is to make it possible
for the growers TO realize sufficient
money on their cotton TO tide them
over to the time when they viii be
able to market the staple at normal
prices.
