WARRIOR RATES
ARE EXTENDED
RATE OF 20 PER CENT
DIFFERENTIAL TO APPLY
ON OCEAN FREIGHT f
EFFECTIVE APRIL 8
Freight From n. Y. and Eastern
Ports May BE Routed Over
Warrior and Right Into
Columbus.

An extension in the application of
the 20 per cent. differential between
4 rail and Warrior water ra
in ocean shipments, has been announc-
ed.
The new rate will be effective April
10, and it means that freight originat-
ing in New York and other eastera
points may be routed via the War
rior river and take the 20 per cent
differential rate.
This means saving of 20 per cent
on all shipments to Columbus from
the East provided the shipments are
routed by water and over the War
Irior.
Following is an editorial from the
Birmingham News covering the new
river and ocean freight arrangement:

ter rate from Eastern Shipping points

will have the initiative and enterprise
to take advantage of them. The tar
Tiff shows the following classifications
and rates for freight originating in
New York:
First class to Warrior River points,
$l.75; to Mobile, $l.53 IL. Second
class to Warrior River points, s1.49;
to Mobile, $l.2S 1-2. Third class to
