BUSINESS men TO
MEET THIS HI !. Evening
Memphis Petition for Low
er Rates TO Arkansas to
Be Discussed.

In order to obtain the absolute and
undivided cooperation of all the
many business and commercial inter
ests of Pine Bluff, in the fight against
the granting of the petition filed by
Memphis, for freight rates as an Ar
kansas shipping point, a call has been
issued, by circular letter, for general
meeting of local business men, to be
held at the Chamber of Commerce as
sembly hall this evening, at 8 o'clock.
The call is signed by H. G. Fox of
the Fox Brothers Hardware company;
A. w. Mum of the Hammett Grocer
company; E. d. Russell of the Arkan-
sas Brokerage company; G. A. Bahlau
of the Bahlau Produce company; V. M.
Harrison, merchandise broker; T. F.
Gadberry, of the Harrison, Produce
company; l.. Rucks of the Arkansas
Mill Supply company; and w. M. Tay-
lOr, commissioner of the traffic bu-
reau.
That the situation is of vital I'M
portance to Pine Bluff business inter
ests is made plain in the call, and
will be made more plain by the detail
ed statements to be made at the meet
ing by Commissioner Taylor and 9th
ers who are thoroughly posted on the
subject. The call is as follows:
.sThe undersigned business men OF
Pine Bluff recently attended a hearing
held by the interstate commerce COM
mission at Memphis, Tenn, on the pc
tition of the city of Memphis vs. all
the railroads operating from memphis
into Arkansas, which petition asks
for lower rates than now apply be
tween points in Arkansas. and estab-
lished by the Arkansas railroad com
mission after legal battle carried
on at great expense for five years, ana
finally determined in the supreme
court of the United States, in favor
of the state Of Arkansas.
Memphis presented an excellent
case of discrimination, accompanied
with % exhibits of comparative rates.
We of Arkansas We're hardly prepared
to present our case as opposing the
petition, and succeeded in having the
commission agree to hear us at some
future date, which will be during the
month of February. Judge Jos. NJ Hill
has been employed to represent Ar
kansas interests. o,
"Our opinion is that if Memphis is
successful in her petition, fifty per
cent of those now engaged in distrib-
uting or manufacturing goods in Ar
kansas will be compelled to either
close their business or move to Mem
phis. 4N
!. sSurely this is grave situation
that should arouse you to some action.
Every line of business in the state is
involved, retail as we'll as wholesale.
The issues involved in this case are
national. bringing into court as 1t does,
the conflict between state and fed
eral regulation of freight rates.
I'VE refrain from emphasizing the
disaster that will result if Memphis
wins this case and viii leave that TO
your opinion after we have explained
to you the situation in DETAIL

HEARING ON union
station JAN'Y IS
Chamber of Commerce Mott
fled by r. r. Commission
of New Hearing Date.

Thee Pine Bluff Chamber OF Com
merce has been formally notified by
the state railroad commission that the
case of the organization against the
Iron Mountain railroad, to force the
road to improve and enlarge the Union
station here, will be heard by the com
mission Wednesday, January 10, at
Little Rock.
The improvement of the Union sta
ton here has been the subject OF
considerable correspondence and
other activity for some months past,
and for al while it appeared the rail-
road would be compelled to accede to
amended demands of Pine Bluff peo-
pie. To the amended plans, however,
the Chamber of Commerce then made
objection, and finally the whole s,.b-
iect was placed back where it was at
the beginning, and when the case is
called Wednesday, it will be opened
up as a new proposition. The I'M
provements desired are extensive and
costly, but it is stated that the amount
of travel here justifies the Chamber
of Commerce in it's demands for bet
termentS.

WORK IN 1914 OF
COMMERCE CHAMBER
Statement of Results to Be
Read at Smoker Thurs
day, January IA.

Every business man in Pine Bluff,
every banker, merchant and clerk, as
we'll as every professional man and
every other man who is employed here
or has his home in this city, will be
urgently requested to attend the smok-
err to be given next week. probably
Thursday night. January ID, by the
Chamber of Commerce.
Details of the arrangements for the
affair have not yet been completed
but will be ready fer announcement
within the next day or two. The date
is virtually agreed upon. but the
place, hour, list of speakers and other
such details are yet to be perfected.
The smoker will be of great i'm
portance. as it will be the occasion
for the decision, by the people of Pine
Bluff, as TIC the activities of the Cham
and others. yet to come. A statement
of results accomplished by the organ
ization during 1914 is in course of
preparation by Secretary f. B. Bloom,
which will be the basis for the plans
to be decided upon at the smoker The
statement will show, briefly, exactly
what has been done during the past
year. what monies were received, for
what the money was expended and
other facts of such nature.
The membership of very many
members of the Chamber of Commerce
expired December 81. and primarily
the purpose of the smoker is to have
these memberships renewed, as as to
get additional new members, that the
work of the organization may be en-
larged and expanded fer the greater
coed of the city and section, Those
at the head of the movement for the
smoker are of the opinion that the one
thing Pine Bluff needs is new indus
tries, and it is expected that one re-
suit of the big rally will be the adop-
tion of plans which will bring new
manufacturing enterprises to this city,
thus furnishing work to local people,
bringing in new capital, and generally
increasing the business of the city.

The Graphic is in receipt of the fol-
lowing, which is self-explanatory:
AN Open Letter to Rev. J. w. E. Cox:
Reverend Sir:-Acting upon an in
vitation extended to the public in
general and to me individually, l
came Sunday afternoon to the Cham
Der of Commerce assembly hall to hear
your discourse on Pine Bluffs Great
est Asset In common with the rest
cf your auditors, listened attentively
to your very eloquent words and like
all the rest felt that ! had been fully
repaid for the little trouble incurred
in coming to hear you. Would thft
there We're many more such occasions
in the life of our community!
"Yet, after due deliberation, feel
constrained to express my great dis
appointment as to one feature OF your
address, and to do SO in public man
ner, in order that the rest OF your
audience and others interested may
have the opportunity of deciding as TO
the Justice of my objection.
in the beginning you announced
that you were not to deliver sermon.
Yet your discourse soon developed in
to a typical sermon (and l must add,
a model OF it's kind) In preacher
this is usually to be expected and
perhaps to be excused, But in this
sermon, delivered in public hall,
under non-sectarian auspices. ana
before men of various sects, you saw
fit to end your eloquent discussion or
character by the positive assertion
that the possession of character de-
pends upon an acceptance OF the
Christian savior. Permit me then to
ask in a spirit of friendliEess and
Candor whether you deny character
to such pre- Christian personalities as
Moses, Confucius, Socrates, ana IN
others? And do you fur-
Their assert that among the JEWISH
and either nom Christian elements OF
this community there are not to pc
found men of the most sterling chaf-
acter? Or. if you did. not intend your
words to be taken literally, willie you
kindly explain their real meaning!
"Without desiring to be or even ot
seem egotistical. may | confess that
| do not find it very pleasant to De
denied the possession OF character.
For that reason among others, ana
because l take you to be a spokes-
man for many of like views, | snoula
very much appreciate full ana
frank reply to the letter and the spir-
it of my questions
.Yours sincerely,
Joseph JASIN."
