EXPERIENCE OF PAST

In the past, steamers nave ed their power to transport freight TOT less than rail carriers from the Atlantic and gulf ports to the American Paclnc coast ports even though these steamers had to pass through the Straits of Ma gellan or around Cape Horn. These steamers may now save the wages Of thelr seamen, the cost of fuel and the tune necessary to make the, trip around the Horn or through the straits by using the Panama canal The natural consequence will be that this district will have a cheaper means of transportation to the Pacific coast than it has ever had. m order that this condition may be the more surely ob tained, Congress- out of apund- ance of caution, reiterated principle or law that was already in effect over the rail carriers It had decreed that one carrier should not own or control com peting carrier. That is why the Frisco and Rock Island were unscrambled; that is why the Union Pacific and the southern Pacific, which MT. Evans represents, were unscrambled. In regard to the relation to be maintained in the future between rall carriers competing with the water lines which intend to use the Panama canal in the coastwse trade, Congress decreed
 It shall be unlawful for any railroad company or common carrier subject to the act to regulate commerce to own, lease operate, control or have any interest what soever (by stock ownership or otherwise either directly, indirectly through any holding company, or by stockholders or directors in common, or in any other man. ner) in any common carrier by water oper- ated through the Panama canal Thus effectively has Congress made certain to the shipping public any advantages aris- ing from the opening of the canal
 As MT. Evans states, the Southern Pa cific was almost wholly responsible in l.,r %t..1 .k..I sibly the Panama canal was an element in causing the attitude of the Southern Pacific. The lowering of the rates all ready lowered may not be all that the

 The steamship Montoso arrived un- heraded in the port of Mobile and asked for a cargo. Even under this irregular
 ty a considerable tonnage from Bir- mingham was placed aboard her.
 Tn the establishment of new trans portation line, it appears as almost the natural condition that there will be mis- understandings and irregularities; and these misunderstanding and irregularl- ties will no doubt work a hardship on ship-owners and the shippers. Further the new transportation line should eX- pect to operate at first without profit The industrial men of this district know the steamship people expected these con ditions to prevail at the commencement of the service. .

Warrior Bound to Effect This Class of Freight
 More and More
WAR HAS BROUGHT
 UNUSUAL DEMANDS
Jackson Points Out That Discontinu- ance of First Ship Is No Proof That the Project Was
 Unprofitable

That the all-water route from Bir- mingham down the Warrior river through the Panama canal to the Pa cific coast is destined to play an im- portant part in the future of the Bir- mingham district is the opinion of To- cal industrial men.
 The fact that a steamship line was started from Mobile to the Pacific coast sometime ago and later discon- tinued, is not considered by them as any indication that freight from this district cannot be transported by the all-water route to the Pacific coast ad- vantageously, but rather is it credited to the abnormal demands for ships to engage in the transatlantic trade due to the war conditions now existing.
 The intimation of railroad men that the failure of this line, or the appar- ent failure, is an indication that water traffic is not so important a factor as has been believed, is contended by To- cal industrial men as erroneous
 It is contended that the service be- tween Mobile and the Pacific coast was started before the Warrior river was completed and also that the steam Snlp line began calling at the port oI Mobile before sufficient advertising had been done to acquaint the shippers of the Birmingham district with the details of the proposed line.
 TONNAGE ON HAND
 Even then a considerable tonnage was on hand at Mobile for the ships of the Pacific line, it is contended, and this volume of business would have been constantly increased if the war had not made 1t so profitable for the steamship company to take their ships out of the transcostal service and place them in the service of companies trans porting goods to Europe.
 In a recent article in the Birming- ham Magazine, C. M. Evans, general agent of the Southern Pacific rail road, published an article dealing with the Panama canal and its meaning to the Birmin gham district. In this ar ticle MT. Evans called attention to the apparent failure of this first line of steamers from Mobile to the Pacific coast points and upon this assumption intimated that this district had but lit tie to hope for from water tranSporta- ton. A large numer of the leading shippers of the Birmingham district took exception to the article of MT. Evans.

letter from J. J. Jackson, a we'll known commercial attorney and rate expert:
 The Birmingham Magazine in it's January issue published an interest ing article on the very important sub- ject, The Panama Canal and the Bir- mingham District by MT. c. M. Evans general agent of the Southern Pacific company here.
 The steamship line that Mir Evans has written about was established by Messrs. Sudden and Christensen of San Francisco. Cal This line was to have piled between Mobile and California ports of call.
 The inception of this new service was almost unheralded The facts of the case are these: The announcement of the establishment of the new serv- ice was received in Birmingham No vemner 10, 1914. In almost the same mail it was announced that the steam ship Peter H. Crowell was scheduled to sail from Mobile November 17, 1914. Exactly enc week from the date ot the establishment of the service the first steamship sailed for California with 2000 tons of Birmingham pro- ducts aboard. This fact is something Birmingham shippers are proud of. At the time of the announcement of the establishment of this steamship line the goods were not even sold. It dem onstrates the demand there is for our goods on the western coast

 "The interest of this city is dependent on transportation facilities, just as is any other industrial community.

 II have expressed my own opinion, and am sure I have reflected the opinion of those friends of mine who are indus- trial men of this district, at whose re- quest MT. Evans is answered

|, for ships in the overseas commerce that almost fabulous ocean rates are ob tained. Great Britain has taken notice of these conditions, and has fixed the ocean rate on cotton, with the penalty of confiscation of the offending craft, should a higher rate be charged. That is why the steamships were with drawn from the Mobie-C California trade. Mir. Hubbard of the firm of Sudden x Christensen, stated to a representative of one of the largest industries, that each ship withdrawn from the Mobile-Cali- fornia trade would earn on one trip as
 tramp steamer what it could earn In year in the coastwise trade regardless
 of the ports served Yankee shippers knew how to make money hundred years ago when Napoleon. who had con trol of continental Europe, put an em- bargo on all English-made goods Yam
 kee shippers of today are not one wit behind their forefathers.
 Ut is true that the North Atlantic ports have the same rates to California that apply from Mobile, 1900 miles nearer. The fact that the rail rate to the port is less in the north, because of less distance, than in the south will soon be offset by rate as low or lower via the Black Warrior. Again, competition betwteen the steamship lines that serve the com peting sections may cause the present rate adjustment from Mobile as compared to the rates in effect from north Allan tic ports, such as New York and Phlla- delphia, etc, to be changed. Any change will no doubt be in favor ot Moblle, being 1900 miles nearer to the CahIor- mia ports than the north Atlantic cltles This must be true, for when the rates are equal from both sections, the north- ern ports have regular lines of steamers in this trade and Mobile has but an irreg' 1!Iar ga fling
