ACTION WITHDRAWN
New Orleans Interests Abandon Fight
 for Rate Increase

Mobile, November 5.-(Special)-The ef- fort on the part of New Orleans shippers and certain railroads to raise the rate on shipments of iron pipe from Birming- ham to Mobile to the figure charged to New Orleans, has been withdrawn, ac- cordng to news received here today by R. G. Cobb, traffic manager of the Mo- bile chamber of commerce, who filed a strong protest on the matter with the southern fregiht traffic committee. This rate was to apply on shipments to the Pacific coast only. New Orleans ship pers, however, have not entirely with drawn from the effort to get an adjust
 ment of the rates and have filed @ counter request to the effect that Mobile be raised from s3.12 per ton to A.3S, which would make this city only 40 cents under that to New Orleans. Mir. Cobb is also makin ga protest against this proposal, maintaining that Mobile should keep her rate of $3.12 and if any adjustment is to be made in order to preserve the diff ferential, New Orleans should be re- duced instead of Mobile being increased. New Orleans ship lines have recently cut their ocean freight rates on these cargoes in order to get a part of the business, the majority of which has been coming to Mobile. The counter proposal will be heard at New Orleans November 8, according to the notice received here.

The southern kaIiway Company i'll Mississ.p- pi has long operated at a loss to It's own CTS, and the new move Is hoped to effect
 
 claims and litigation.
 So far as is known. no changes are contemplated in the official forces at least to the present.

One page, or more if necessary, is de- voted weekly to the affairs of the Amer zican Cotton Association, this page being conducted by Captain w. R. Greene, secretary of the Alabama division. The matter published on this page is ad- dressed directly to the mem bership of the association, just as if personal let ters were addf essed to each member in- forming them of the progress made dur ing the week and what other states are doing This is the quickest and most effective means of reaching the member ship with special messages and infor- nation from the headquarters
 In order to obtain accuracy in mail ing lists and a complete record of names and post office addresses, it is required that new members of the Amer jean Cotton Association in Alabama shall fill out form, which is presented at the time they sign their membership, giving this information so that the official journal will be received by them reg ularly every week.
 Alabama Farm Facts is a necessary feature of membership in the American Cotton Association.

, effect. This date is stin an uncertainty Attention is being called here to the fact that while the treaty defines the spheres of Influence of France and Italy recognize the special interest in France In Sicily and the western part of ,Kurdistan bordering on Syria, and of Italy in southern Anatolia. The Brit ish spheres of influence are not only undefined, but are not mentioned. This has raised the question if the agreement is suspectible of the inter pretation that the British interests may be held to extend to any or all the re- maining parts of the Turkish empire
 It is noted also that, while the agree ment does not take the form of an al liance, it pledges the contracting pow CTS to render diplomatic support to each other in maintaining their respec- tive position in the areas in which their special interests are recognized.
 One section of the document pro- vides for the exploitation of the Bag bad railway by a company in which the British, French and Italian capital is equally interested
 Article x of the agreement provides that nothing in it shall prejudice the rights of non-signatory states to free access to various areas for commercial and economic purposes.
