"To even sketch the possibilities of

After
Vital Concession
From Railroads

An additional effort to secure milling
in-transit arrangements for Memphis,
Louisville and Evansville, will be made
by j. H. Townshend, secretary mana
ger of the Southern Hardwood Traffic
association, when he goes to Washing
ton Sunday night, Mr.. Townshend will
confer with officials of the United States
railroad administration on the matter.
It is presumed Nashville and Padu-
cab. KY, will be represented at the
conference as we'll as Memphis, Louis
vile and Evansville, and a Joint effort
will be made to have the through rate
on timber and lumber to these points
protected, to permit their yardage or
manufacture and reshlpment within a
year on the through rate from point Of
origin to final destination. plus a charge
for %stopover.
This would mean that a thousand
pounds of lumber could be brought into
Memphis, for instance, from some point
in Arkansas. This lumber could be
unloaded here and manufactured into
flooring, or n other commodity, and
then reshipped, say. to Detroit, Mich.
for the same through rate as would
have been charged from the original
point Of shipment to Detroit, plus a
charge for stopover.
This advantage would attract many
new woodworking Industries to Mem.
phis, MIR. Townshend said, and would
mean a big thing for all the present
industries OF that kind now located
here,
While in Washington Mr.. Townshend
will also attend an important meeting
of short line railroad officials from all
over the country. called by the Amerl-
can Short Line Railroad association, to
ask the railroad administration for rec.
ognition and arrangements for closer
cooperation with the trunk lines. He
will be accompanied to this conference
by C. E.. Castles, secretary and treas
urer of the Cache Valley railroad, and
Elliott Lang, of the Batesville q South
western railroad.

Buckeye Mill
Made $275,OW
In Year Of 1917

II. ]. Schoettelkotte, formerly man
ager Of the Memphis big mill Of the
Buckeye Cotton Oil company, On the
Raleigh road, late Friday fired a bill in
chancery against that corporation for
So, 900.
Schoettlekotte claims his contract
with the company included a commits
sion on the profits OF the mill and for
the year 1917 he was to receive $4,000
straight and a certain per cent of each
$40, 600 of profit, exclusive Of one Or "
deductable items. He declares the com
pany In 1917 made a profit of $4,000
on the Memphis plant. After making
the proper deductions called in the
contract his bonus, ne says, should
have been SIC, 900. Instead Of that the
company paid him only $4,000, the
company deducting $40, 900 war tax from
the total profit before allowing his
bonus
The plaintiff insists that at the time
he was employed there was no federal
war tax on profits and his contract did
not contemplate any. He accepted the
money at the time, no said, but became
aware. Of the mistake when the internal
revenue collector called on him for his
