SHIPPERS CONFER
 lMITu D0hD AA[ NJ WliiI NUHU !NLIv
Meeting Called for Atlanta Regarding Making of
 New Rates

Two important rate meetings are to be held in the very near future
 On Friday, in Atlanta, the southeastern freight rate committee will confer with Birmingham steel and iron shippers with regard to export rates which, since the raises made in general freight rate class ifioations, have ceased to mean any thing and are inimical to the exporta- fion of iron and steel products to far away points.
 Large business in cast iron pipe, for instance, has been done with Japan and other far eastern countries and with South America Deliveries on some of this business have been made only re- gently, but no more of this business has been coming in and it is believed lower ing of export rates is going to be neces- sary if this business is to revive.'
 The railroad people are understood to be approaching the matter with the same attitude as the shippers. They want the export business, to continue and they are asking the shippers to help them make a proper export rate sched- ule.
 Heads of traffic bureaus in Alabama and adjoining states will meet in Atlanta on Thursday for conference with re- gard to the proposed increase in rates from the southeast to Ohio and Mssis- sippi river junction points. Birmingham and Montgomery are especially affected and will send their traffic bureau heads to the conference.
 At this conference preparation will be made for presentation of the case at the hearing to be granted by the inter state commerce commissions special examination at Nashville on January 19
 The Interstate commerce commissi on has suspended the proposed increas s-~ pending the result of the Nashville hear ing. It is understood that the proposed rates would amount to 9 per cent in crease.
