25o. 900 ANNUAL TONNAGE

Henry T. DeBardeleben, manager or
 transportation on the Warrior river, stated yesterday that by January 10 every available craft would abe in oper- alton on the Warrior, this including the wooden barges and the self-pro- pelled steel barges and the towboats.
 There will then be about 25 barges in the service with a capacity Of ap- proximately 250,000 tons year.
 The present equipment will be kept in operation on the Warrior continuous Fly so long as the railroad admln1stra- tion retains control of the ra1lroads, regardless of the action of Director General McAdoo with regard to the re- port and recommendations of G. A. Tomlinson, director or lnIand water transportation.
 While not basing too much hope on the friendly attitude of Director Gen eral McAdoo the Warrior river com mittee is making preparations to meet any request for additional information should he ask for it. They realize conditions are not the same now as when the Warrior was taken over by | the government and that the same emergency for moving war materials does not exist. Nevertheless, they will not cease their efforts to secure a fa- vorable decision as long as the matter remains undecided.
 OBJECTIONS CITED
 MT. McAdoo, while here Thursday, as-
 assured the committee that his mind was still open on the question of pro- viding additional equipment for the Warrior nevertheless pointed out a number of objections to the government Iexpending further sums for that pur- pose in view of the fact that a peace declaration Is near and that 21 months 1o+ t6n 1at t1rnn must be returned to their owners, leav- ing the government with one small river on it's hands. In the absence or any knowledge as to the future policy of the government with reference to control and operation or the railroads he felt that it would not be wise for the government to further develop river transportation.
 What further efforts will be made to develop the Warrior in the event Direc- tor General McAdoo desides not to or der the additional equipment? This question was being asked by Birmlng- jham mople yesterday, and the answer IS | yet to be made. Until the director gen. | eral announces his decision nothing fur ther Is likely to be done, but in the event it is unfavorable there are ultima tions that steps may be taken by lo- cal people to finance the development of river traffic. On this point the com
 mittee had nothing to say yesterday. PRIVATELY FINANCED WORK As the government now controls the river, owns all the craft on it, and will operate privately financed opera ] tions might not be permitted This. however, is a matter that must await Mir McAdoo's decision in the opinion | of persons discussing it yesterday. They 1 will not have to wait long for the de-
 cision, though, as MT. McAdoo assured l the committee Thursday that he will dispose of the matter immediately upon | his return to Washington.
 l In the meantime, the present equip ment will be in operation hauling coal to Mobile at the rate of about 2o.00a l tons month
