NN Monday, May 10, the export W freight rate on iron and steel pro- ducts in the southeastern territory was advanced from S1.9O to S3.70 per ton.
 It is not at all certain that another ad- vance will not be forthcoming later on
 Every iron and steel product of the Birmingham district is affected The ad- vance may not be felt acutely when the domestic demand is so great. It will be seriously felt when export business be- comes necessary.
 A large portion of a movement of 5000 tons of Birmingham pipe to Tolio, now in process of shipment to port of Jacksonville, must bear the increased rate. The Birmingham concerns making the pipe must put up the difference be- tween the old and new rates.
 Steel and iron producers of the south OIJOrCu of the rate. The protest failed. The fight will be kept up, but experts do not expect favorable results.
 The new export rate will serve the in- terests of northern rival manufacturers close to northern ports and initiate against the southern to that extent.
 In this situation Birmingham steel and iron shippers are bearing in mind with weighty consideration the importance of the 20 per cent differential on shipment by the Warrior.
 As pointed out by o. L. Bum, general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, the higher the freight rate, the more con- siderable the saving by use of the Warrior differential If the pipe shippers for ln- stance, would save 38 cents per ton on the present export of iron and steel rate, they will save "A cents per ton of the new rate On shipment of 5, 900 tons the total saw ing via the Warrior would be S370, a con- siderable item.
 Within two weeks it is hoped, the power at Birmingport will be in service and thereafter hoisting by electric mag net will be enabled. This will materially aid iron and steel movements via the river.
 The Mississippi Valley Waterways As siociation wishes Alabama to back 1t in seeking to have an inland waterways plank inserted in both the democratic and republican national platforms. Far-see- ing Alabamians are cordially responding by seeking to" elicit the interest of their representatives and will especially urge their delegates to the national convention to advocate this party commitment

END THE FARCE.

New Jerseys daylight saving bill
has been killed in senate committee.
1t is well. There is going to De much
confusion on Monday morning unless
New York city comes to It's senses be-
for that time, but the confusion is go
ing to be the more quickly ended by
New Jersey refusing to have a part
in the farce.
The fact that the principal railroads
were awaiting the action of the New
Jersey legislature before deciding on
the local train schedule Is significant.
All except the New York Central and
the New Haven roads will ignore New
York's attempt to establish a time of
its own. Those two roads are going
to try to run trains on both times.
In trying to describe how 1t Will

the extra hour gained is going to be
more than used up in Strengthening
out the tsngles resulting from con-
nicting schedules.
Governor Edwards addressed his
message regarding daylight saving to
the wrong party. If there is 20 be so
much confusion over the time after
next Sunday, whose fault will 1t be?
Surely not the fault of those who stick
to standard time as fixed by Washing
ton. Philadelphia has seen her mis-
take and has repealed the daylight
saving ordinance that was passed In
that city some time ago. They realize
that 1t won't work.
Just because a lot of Tammany
politicians holding forth In the New

supposed to preside. Governor Ed
wards rushes to the New Jersey legis-
lature 10 have this state thrown out

just to conform with a time that New

Rather, a protest should be sent to

York city is not going to help matters
any more than two wrongs will make

The official worst is not quite ready
