ot the United States to move accumulated freight prior to inception of increased tariffs August 26, mas so greatly accentd- ated the normal car shortage that a con dition approaching chaos threatens.
 The interstate commerce commission frankly admits as much, and declares to- day that it finds the task confronting it impossible of fullflment It urges shippers to endure patiently, and prom ises to grant every assistance possible and avoid discrimination.
 Alabama is one of the more insistent states that relief be extended. Shippers in Mobile write the commission that dis crimination is shown the Mobile ana Ohio as against the Southern in the al lctment of cars. Mention is repeatedly made of threatened damage suits against railroads which do not move freight prior to the period of rate increases. The railroads plead their inability to aceor1- ntodate patrons in the absence of avail able cars.
 Tn the case of sharp complaint and criticism from Montcvallo, the commis- sion investigated that situation today
 by wire. w. c. Agee and Morgan Rich- ards of Selma and W. M. Bonner of Cam den arrived here today with the state ment that great business calamity Will result to their section unless relief be
 quickly granted. They have engagements
 with the commission for tomorrow. Representative Blackmon of the Fourth Alabama has reported to Washington to secure relief for certain slag manufac- turers in Anniston and Trussville, wno ,, contend that discrimination in the al lotment of cars was being practiced in favor of Birmingham manufacturers.

xt-Z ftfSt Nat0hdt 6ank buttutnu Montgomery, August 11.-(Special)- )-In outlining the result of a conference of health officers at Galveston called for the purpose of considering the best methods of controlling the spread of bubonic plague, Dr. s. W. Welch, state health officer, today stated that every effort is being made to prevent the in- troduction of the plague into Mobile. He said the city of Mobile had anticipated the suggestion that all port towns make rat surveys and had already done the pra1Nhinary work which the health au- thorities agreed was necessary in order to prevent infection.
 The surgeon general of the United States advised that all port towns make the surveys, the basis being 100 rats to cities of 1000 population. This survey has already been made in Mobile. It was also suggested that ratproofing or dnances be enacted and all buildings ratproofed Dr. Welch has already made this suggestion in Alabama.
 Referring to the movement to prevent the plague in Mobile, Dr. welch said:
 Every effort is being made to prevent the introduction of plague into Mobile. The state and city boards of health are receiving the heartiest cooperation from the city authorities. Since the discovery of plague in Pensacola the docks at Mo bile have been inspected twice a day py a representative of the county board of health in Mobile. Weekly inspection or the docks has been made by a repre- sentative of the state board or healtn' and reports and observations Of the county board of health have been checked up The work of the state auh local authorities of Alabama was very warmly commended by Surgeon General Cumming and Assistant Surgeon Gen. eral Mclaughlin.
 ..This occasion is taken to again urge unon the mayors and city commissions of all municipalities of Alabama to sec that all buildings constructed in the fu- ture be built along ratprccf lines, ana that an ordinance be now passed reauir- 1 ing such ratproof construction for the future carrying a retroactive clause con- | tingent upon the appearance or piasus l in the city. This action on the part ol the state board of health was very warmly commended by the representa- lives from Seattle and San francisco. They both expressed the opinion that q ratproof building was an asset to any community, and they found no other method of successfully controlling the advance of plague in the vest
