it, they will keep their personal equip ment.
 There was a good reason for the troops to assemble at Montgomery, for they had to be given equipment by the quartermaster, but there is absolute ly none why they should be sent there from Douglas"
 ion that unless the war department re- calls it's orders, a gross injustice" will be done to the guardsmen.
 "The guardSmen, after having given several months to the war department, ought to be shown sorhe considera- tion," he said. "It would be a rank injustice to have them sent to Mont gomery to be mustered out of the ser vice. It would require more time, would be a useless expenditure of govern ment funds and woSld serve no good purpose,
 q think that every effort ought to be exerted to prevent the movement of the local batteries to Montgomery"
 H. l.. Badham echoes the sentiment expressed and feels that the war de- partment should send the guardsmen to Birmingham.
 q cannot understand why General Funston should have changed his or ders for the movement of the troops,' SdiQ NIT. DduHdlI. here IS aDSOluIely no reason why Montgomery should be designated as the point of demobiliza- tion. Should the batteries go to Mont gomery, it would require several weeks more for the mastering out to be ac- complished. s
 eff they come to Birmingham, at certain hours the boys would be able to visit their families and to get their business in condition to resume their old occupations There are many other reasons why these orders should be countermanded."
 The merchants of the city feel that thousands of dollars would be spent by the government in the upkeep of the troops, and recall the days when the troops were in camp before the war. In addition to the sums that the government would expend for foodstuffs, the guardsmen would likewise spend several thou sand dollars while awaiting the mus tering out proceedings. They will back the petitions of the local organization and city authorities to the limit in this matter.

Governor Corners BristIing Letter Causes Widespread
 Comment on Rates
SHIPPERS BELIEVE
 RELIEF IS COMING
Unjust and Discriminatory" Freight Rates Will be Warred Upon by Local Shippers-Traffic Bu-
 reau Manager Not Named

When Gov. B. B. Conner declared that the matter of freight rates was large factor in the trouble with Birming- among Birmingham e shippers. The statement of the former chief execu- tive created much comment and fur nished Birmingham with live topic during the rainy day.
 According to these men, the discov- cry is not new one and the problem will reach a solution in the newly or ganized traffic bureau" Birmingham shippers believe that, as soon as a capable and expert manager can be employed for this bureau, steps will be taken immediately to offset the dis advantages that this district has in the matter of freight rates from the Tennessee river and from other points.
 We are still searching for capable manager for the traffic bureau" M. P. Worthington said last night. When rates will be investigated in an au- thoritative,and accurate manner. Such revisions as should be made will be requested"
 Henry T. DeBardeleben voiced the opinion that the matter was not a new one. "The problem of proper freight rates is an old one," he as- serted, but the new traffic bureau will solve it, when it becomes oper- ative."
 That the big shippers of Birming ham have the utmost confidence in the newly organized traffic bureau was one of the developments that followed Gov ernor Comer's bristling letter. Further more, it is seemingly their opinion judging from the sentiments expressed by several prominent citizens, that Bir- mingham is not getting freight rates that are just and equitable.
 With the Birmingham Civic associa- tion resolved that these "discrimina- tory and unjust freight rates shall be adjusted, the traffic bureau organ ized to investigate the matter and the big shippers interested, the freight rate problem is becoming one of the livest issues in this district.

ELYTON MIDWEST END PUPILS SHOULD GO TO THE ENSLEY SCHOOL
Dr. Phillips Says Congestion at the Central High School Will
 be Great

Pupils living in Elyton and West End who have been promoted from the Hemphill and Elyton schools to the High school should attend the Ensley High school rather than the Central High school. An announcement to this effect was made last night by pr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of city schools.
 pr. Phillips declared that the con- gestion at the Central High school would be so great that it would be advisable for the West End and Ely ton pupils to enter at Ensley. Better facilities and accommodations could be given them there since the Ensley school would not be crowded to the extent the Central High school would.
