Montgomery, December ls.-NSpe-
cial.)-A call for general member
ship meeting of the Southern Iraliie
,eayue in Atlanta on January 3 TOT
the formulation of program that
will guide shippers in presenting eW-
dence to the Interstate commerce
commission at Washington on Janu-
arv Q when the matter of revision
downward of freight rates on al
commodities. was sent out Monoas
from the office of NJ. NJ. Caskie. man
ager of the transportation bureau OF
tbs chamber of commerce and secre-
tary of the league. 1t is planned 10
come to some conclusion as to the
proper method of offsetting claims OF
railroads that a reduction in freight
rates is impossible at this time.
Railroads last week in Washing
ton presented their briefs and argu-
ments against any sort OF reouctioi,s
at this time. The commission al
iourned the hearings until January y
when shippers, through the Southern
Traffic league, will have their day IN
court. The shippers claim that
general reduction in interstate rates
is necessary at this time. and that
such reduction would tend to better
business conditions, taking heavy IL
nancial burdens from the shoulders
of business Institutions.
Manager Caslkie returned to Mont
.romery Monday from washington he
was instructed to issue the general
membership meeting call for Janu-
airy 3. At the meeting reports of a
large committee will be submitted,
and the league members will determ-
me the method to use in presenting
to the Interstate commerce commits
sion claims In favor of reduced rates.
NDenial that President Warren
Harding would not consider claims
for southern representation on the
interstate commerce commission was
made by Mr.. Clarke. Unofficial re-
ports from Washington said that be-
cause the southern people could not
decide whom they desired on the COM
mission the President had decided to
reappoint Commissioners Hall and
| Aichison. Mr. Caskie said the Pres
ident explained he desired at least
two experienced men on the COM
mission, therefore would reappoint
Commissioners Hall and Aichison,
whose terms will soon expire.
The Southern Traffic league placed
| in nomination names of t. NJ. Hen
derson, rate man of Nashville and 2
former Montgomerian. and Charles r.
Cottren, chief attorney for the
league. Other names mentioned were
