BLACKMON WOULD AID
 WIVES OF SOLDIERS

Washington, July 1s.-(Special) Not satisfied with the action or Con- gress in voting Mrs Roosevelt. very rich woman. an annuity of ample pro- nortions. the postoffice and post roads committee of the House reported favor- ablv this afternoon a resolution grant ing the widow of the former President the free use of United States malls.
 Representative Blackmon of Ala bama member of the committee, of fered an amendment restricting frank ing privileges to first-class mail mat ter. The republican majority defeated the amendment
 He then offered second amendment granting franking privileges to the widows of all soldiers who served in the Civil, Spanish American and world wars, many of whom are women in need of financial assistance.
 The republican majority defeated this amendment also. Following the reporting of the resolution unamended. Representative Blackmon announced that he would offer his proposed amendm ents on the floor of the House.
 There are widows of men who have died in the service of thSfr country who would appreciate the benefit which Congress would thus bestow on Mrs. Roosevelt" said MT. Blackmon. Mrs Roosevelt will regard this pro- posed act just as she no doubt re- garded the granting of her pension. as an act of courtesy on the part of Con gress On the other hand, there are women who gave their husbands in the cause of their country who are actual ly in need. and who would appreciate any assistance of however little ex- tent
 Tt will be interesting to watch the attitude of the republican majority of the House when called upon to grant additional monetary favors to Mrs Roosevelt and deny such gratuities to the wives of dead soldiers"

 Will ApproUe Water Rates

ferences with the Tuscaloosa people, in which the committee of the interstate commerce commission protested against our publishing any higher rates than we proposed to carry to Birmingham. The justice of their contention was so apparent, that we acduiesed This taf- if, in printed form was submitted to the director of inland waterways for the purpose of having it filed with the interstate commerce commission in order to carry out the letter of the statute which provides "the President shall initiate rates by filing them with the interstate commerce commission" We are applying this rate to any busi- ness which is rendered to us.
 Our equipment in which we can han dle business consists at the present time of 20 15-ton containers. recently completed. We are ready to serve the Tuscaloosa people to the extent of the capacity of these containers. The weak est link in our chain is the fact that the only crane available for our use in New Orleans harbor capable of handling these containers is a crane located on private spur of the L. & N on the New Orleans docks. Thus far there has been no interference with its use by us, but if the L. &. N. seek to impose any obstacle to this move ment- their officials can easily say the track is blocked with other business. We are trying to develop in New Or will give us entire freedcSn of opera tion. and hoping that in the interim the crane on the L.. & N. spur will con tinue to be available for our use

UNDERWOOD EXPECTS
 SOUTHERN PORT RELIEF

Washington, July T.-Senator Under wood and other southern senators are con- fidently expecting an order from the rail- road administration removing rate dis criminations which have operated to the detriment of south Atlantic and gulf ports. Senator Underwood is deeply in- terested in the possibilities of Mobile, and he believes that as soon as rate troubles are remedied, and other plans put into effect, Mobile will become one of the finest ports in this country.
 As hitherto reported. Edward Cham bers, director of the division of traffic of the railroad administration. made this statement to the southern senators urg- ing a removal of restrictions: T think can assure you gentlemen that the railroad administration is in complete sympathy with your contentious. and we expect to grant your demands in general, though perhaps with minor changes in detail"
 Director Chambers announcement, while not unexpected by his hearers, fair ly electrified them by it's informality as well as by it's significance. It means that

spontaneous and non-inspired protest At the same time, the very extensive and thorough campaign prompted the legisla- tive enemies of the packers to contend that the protest was as a matter of fact a well-organized propa ganda.
 Alabama, in proportion to population, pnotestedsas vigorously as any other state of the union. Senator Underwoods s and Senator Bankheads offices were simply inundated. For several days one clerk did little else but sign receipts for tele- grams. Senator Gronna, chairman of the committee before which the Kenyon bill bends, received telegrams not only from his state, but from all states, Several of his clerks were engaged in receipt ing for and listing the messages.
 Irrespective of what may be behind the protests, it is indicated that Senator Kenyon will have difficulty in securing the passage of his bill. He has expressed desire that he be permitted to study and tabulate the telegrams which have reached all other senators in order that he might prove that the protests are in fact a propaganda of nationwide ex- tent. It is understood that he will dis cuss this subject in the Senate, and will charge that the packers, to prevent gov- ernment inspection and control, did not hesitate to move heaven and earth" in an effort to save themselves.
 But the packers card is strong one unless Congress is less responsive than formerly to public appeal

the railroad administration has deter | mined
 To give the gulf and south Atlantic ports substantially the same freight rates l from the middle west, for export and im- I port, as those now enjoyed by New York To give the middle west all the gate ways to foreign trade which it needs in stead of compelling it to ship everything though ''the neck of the b0tle," namely the approach to New York. To cut down transportation costs and indirectly the cost of living, by encour- aging goods to be shipped by the shortest route instead of, as at present, over the powerful but congested trunk lines run ming into New York.
 We have determined to treat the ports of the country as a whole" said Director Chambers, instead of as merely sec- tiona1 affairs. We want to equalize port charges and rates. so far as we can. so that the great producing sections of the country can get to tne seaport at the lowest possible cost. We nave had this matter under consideration for some time. and while there are some minor difficulties in the way, we believe that you are substantially right in your con- tention that discrimination as between sections of the sea coast should be done away with"
 Judge J. H. Covington, in opening the
  the proposed rate change, pointed out that New York had completely broken down during the war from the load that was imposed upon it. New York. he said, had been choked up like a funnel with goods bound in and out while at the same time the south Atlantic and gulf states, with every facility for handling foreign trade, had borne the appearance of being on holiday"
 "'This anomalous situation was due only to one thing" he declared, namely. rne ability of the powerful eastern trunk lines to secure and maintain railroad ra tes from the west to New York which were lower than the rates to the gulr and south Atlantic ports. We do not ask for favoritsm: all we ask Is that these ports be allowed to compete with New York on an equal basis
 Look at the preposterous condition in the south now. The south has goods to ship north. but no cars to ship them in And why has it no cars7 Solely because the bulk of the country's traffic to the sea coast now goes to the north At lantic ports intsead of being distributed eouitably through the south Atlantic and gulf ports

very close to the President, declared, that the allies, about the peace table, were forced to give Japan control of the Chi nese peninsula or suffer Japan to make a separate treaty with Germany and abandon the league of nations.
 The idea prevails in the Senate, cer- tainly among the republican members of the Senate, that if the United States takes a position which would tend to de- prive Japan of it's spells. Japan would make war Senator Borah has declared that he would prefer war with Japan rather than for the United States to sign a document selling millions of Chinese into slavery.
 It is understood that the President did not and does not approve of the Shantung feature of the treaty. His friends con- tend that he was forced to accede; that had he done otherwise, peace would not have been restored to the world His friends contend that Japan has simply taken possession of German owned terri tory, and that at the proper time Japan will voluntarily yield control, or the league of nations will force that result His enemies, on the other hayd, contend that Japan will never suffer the loss of Shangtung without war, and that the United States, in guaranteeing in one breath the political integrity of all coun- tries, would be committing a shameful crime to enter into plot for the spoila- tion of China in the next breath.
 While the newest Senate outbreak is an off-shoot of the discussion of the league of nations, it is regarded as lacking in the flavor of partisan politics which char acterizes other features of the general debate. The alleged secret documents signed by England and France with Japan tend to reveal the selfshness of all nations concerned. England agreed that Japan have Shantung on condition that Japan support England in it's efforts to obtain German islands south of the equa- tor; France agreed on condition that Japan require China to take possession of German ships in it's harbors, ships later to be turned over to the allies.
 The phase of possible war has alarmed administration circles beyond all doubt this despite the abssnce of official state ment to that effect. Japan has long been regarded as thorn in the flesh. It was ever known that while the allies were attempting to destroy Germany S dream of world power, Japan was indulg- ing in that dream And the fear is gen eral that if the Senate should reject the peace treaty chiefly on account of the Shangtung feature, Japan would find eX- cuse to pick quarrel with this nation.
 The Shangtung debate has apparently strengthened the treaty or league opposl- tion. It is regarded as a stronger feat
