TAYLOR G0ES'T0 .''''' NEW '0RLEANS FOR ,
 4RAIE HEARINGS

w. M. Taylor, commissioner of the Pine Bluff Traffic bureau, leaves to- day for New Orleans, where he will represent shippers, wholesalers and other business interests of Pine Bluff, Little Rock and all the other south ern and southeastern Arkansas ter ritory, at a series of hearings by an examiner of the interstate commerce commission.
 The hearings, according to MT Fay Tor, are among the most important that have been held in many months, so far as concerns their effect on freight rates in this territory. Virtl- ally all rates between points in Ar kansas and Louisiana, both ways, will be affected, and in addition the Natchey rate petition will be con- sidered, as will also the matter of the recently promulgated encouragement of rates from Memphis to Shreveport, Alexandria, Monroe and other Louisi- ana points.
 "There are issues involved which are of vital importance to the ship- pers and business men of this sec tion," said Mir. Taylor, "but which the general public is not in position to understand, because of the general intricacy of freight rate matters. The hearings may consume week, be- cause of the fact that the very many cities and towns affected will all have representatives in attendance, while the railroads also will take important part in the conference"
