FAVORABLE POSITION

Birmingham stands in a favorable posi- ton both as to rail and water rates. Cities like Nashville, Chattanooga and Memphis, and even Atlanta, have rates that are all out of line with Birming- hams. According to the way see ls drifting, the rates to these cities will be raised according to distance of haulage with the waterway fctions wiped out. This will establish Birmingham's align ment on a better base than it has ever been.
 If we also win the Memphis case, which comes up~February g. we will have the finest alignment of rates of any point in the south. What we are asking for In that case is that Birmingham be given the same rate from Memphis as Nashville and Chattanooga, rate we are entitled te.s If we win there (and l think we wilD, combined with what l believe IS gong to be the upshot of the hearing on the general alignment of rates. we will have wiped out practically all rate ois- criminations and will have secured what we have been fighting for for 10 years.

 RATE REPLACEMENT
Protest to Interstate Commis- sion on Alleged DiScrimina- tory Rate Will Bring De-
 sired Results

"Without counting chickens before they are matched, 1 am inclined to look for Birming- ham to have the best alignment of freight rates of any city in the south," said o. L. Bum, general manager of the Cham Der of Commerce and the Bir- mingham Traffic bureau.
 Mir. Bum makes this statement after a weeks attendance in Nashville at the hearing before commissioner of the in- terstate commerce commission on pro- posal of the carriers to realign rates be- tween Ohio and Mississippi crossings and southern and southeastern states.
 When MT. Bum left here week ago il was with the expectation of joining with Montgomery and other cities in pro- test against proposed increase in class rates northbound to Ohio and Mississippi river functions. Arriving at Nashville, he found representatives of about 50 car riers there with proposals for a general
  as northbound. There was a huge array of legal talent and tons of documents prepared blythe carriers.
 REPLACEMENT OF RATES
 Mir. Bum went on to say: Tt developed into the biggest kind of thing; so big that we did not finish it in a week, anc adjournment was taken to Washington on February for completion of the hear ing. The whole idea is to so realign rates as to conform to Section of the interstate colnaission's order prescribing ins that a short haul shall not bear a greater toll than long one ill the same direction. In making the realignment, cities heretofore having very low rates by reason of waterway fiction, will have their rates advanceds because that fiction has been done away with.
 "The interstate commerce commission is now making railroad freight rates without regard to position as to water ways. They will be made as though water ways did not exist. Making of rates for water-borne business is to be a separate affair entirely. Where river is used the commission will issue rates based on the river and see that the rail carriers do not snuff out water-borne traffic by announcing all-rail rates under the water ra tes.
