FRISCO BACK AGAIN
 1. IN EFFORT ID GET SWITCHING CHARGE
Asks Public Service Commis- sion for Permission to Im- pose $3 Levy on Cars
 Handled at Cordova

The Frisco railroad has taken action to secure right to levy a $3 switching charge at lCordova on the upper Warrior.
 The Birmingham Chamber Iof Commerce, Traffic league, Warrior River Development fcommittee, Port of Birming- ham corporation and Warrior river federal managers will resist that action and endeavor to prevent the levying of any switching charge at Cordova.
 The petition of the Frisco has been filed with the Alabama Public Service commission. Hearing has been set for December 22. Parties interested have been notified and those opposed to ing rates will be there.
 THOSE OPPOSED
 The petition was filled by H. H. Stannage, freight traffic manager. < Theodore Brent traffic manager of the Mississippi- Warrior system will lead the opposition, assisted by o. L. | Bum and others.
 The proposed switching charge at Cordova has been contended for by the Frisco for some time. The river management, on the other hand, claims that delivery to the water carrier should be free at boatside, as has been heretofore done and was done under contract when the port of Cordova was a private concefn and had not passed into the hands of Uncle Sam.
 GETS ITS SHARE
 It is set forth that the Frisco al- ready gets its full share of the water borne traffic in the absorption of the 20 per cent differentials by the river carrier. The river carrier does not see #lo equity of the railroad coming in - A0other whack at the business.
 The proposed switching charge of $3 Is g less than that offered the river carrier in proposed contract proffered some time ago and refused. Recession to the smaller charge will be as stoutly resisted. the river carrier maintaining that the division of the joint freight charge is already on the credit side of the rail carrier.
