PETITION ATTACKS
 EXT0RT|0N PRICES
Machinists Say Assignment of Railroad Repair Work Will
 Rob Public of Millions
By Associated Press

Washington. January 9.-Unless the railroads of the country are restrained from assigning locomotive and freight tortion'' prices it will cost the pubic at least three quarters of a billion dollars annually, declares petition submitted to the interstate commerce commission by the International Association of Ma chinists, urging an immediate investiga- ton of the practice. Such an investiga- ton already has been ordered by the con mission on the complaint of labor or ganizations.
 While the primary motive of the roads in farming out their repair work, the pe- tition as made public today by the ma chinists association declared, is "to se- cure profitable returns on certain equip ment companies controlled by the same | financial interests that control the rail- roads," another object, it is said, is to disrupt's railroad labor organizations de- veloped during the war by closing thelr 1 own shops and throwing men out of em-
 ployment The practice is declared to be tespeeially prevalent among railroad mana agements affiliated with the bank i ing house of J. P. Morgan & Co.,"
 l The petition urged that placing of re-
 pair work with outside companies be made subject to permit by the interstate
 1 commerce commission on condition that the railroad cannot perform the required
 work in it's own shops or at as low a cost as by the outside company. It urged as another condition that the con 7. tractor be compelled to observe the same conditions of employment as guar anteed to workers by the transportation
 act and awards of the railway wage

MOBILE OUTGR0WS

Volume of Shipping Has h. creased Enormously and City
 Is Facing Grave Problem

Mobile. January 9.-(Special)- ith the coming this month and the early part of next of half a dozen large steamships for steel and general car goes for Europe and the orient and the regular sailings of vessels in the West Indian, Mexican, Central and South American trade, the need of additional docking space it is declared. becomes more imperative.
 Mobile is getting a larger share of the export steel and machinery trade than in past years, and information gained i'll shipping circles indicates that this trade will increase heavily during the current year. The present docking space provided by the Mobile and Ohio, the Louisville and Nashville, Gulf, Mobile and Northern, the city and the Turner terminals is barely suffi- cient to accommodate the usual trade that has been passing through this port, and when the greater number of ships headed here for cargoes arrive, the harbor master and the dock man agers will have a serious problem in so placing them that they can be load ed expeditiously and economically.
 That the defeat of the constitutional amendment which, if adopted would have authorized the state to take over the ownership and control and opera ton of harbor facilities, was 8 seriou; handicap to the port of Mobile becomes more evident every day. The increased facilities, it is certain. must be pro- vided by some body, if Mobile is to con tinue to grow as a port.

But progress sivism is yet enshrined in the hearts of millions.

The bitter con certed movement against labor is the ac- compartment of endeavor to take away from all voters the right of nominating their public servants.

 There was mournful music at the house however before the journey to the place of burial was begun. Gathered on the porch of the Hatfield home, and about the body laying in a golden oak coffin, an assemblage of men and women con stunned the time with the singing of the old time camp meeting hymns.
 Sim Thompson, famed throughout this mountain region as leader i'll psalm singing, directed the music. So numerous did the mourners become at this unusual gathering they were direct ed to the rear door of the house, where it formed in line and proceeded through the hall and passed the spot where the dead feudist lay.

ny NssOclateu kTeBN New York, January 9.-Comparatively little new demand has developed for steel since the opening of the new year, and it is reported that the thrilled orders Of the Steel corporation will show the largest decrease since the downward trend start ed last August.
 Independents arc now practically all on an even basis with the Steel corpora tion, and prices are steady at this level. Expectations of further adjustments to a lower cost basis hold up new orders, ana even the demand for pipe. which all along has been better than for other products, has fallen off. Prices in second hands have been materially reduced in an effort to attract business.
 Pig iron continues dull and weak, with many furnaces idle; even lower prices fail to stimulate activity.
