Decision in Barge Case to Be Handed
 Down tn September

Charles Francis Wood is in re- ceipt of letter from Congressman ". B. Oliver, in which it is stated that the Interstate commerce com mission has promised a decision some time in September on the division of rates.'
 This is the case in which the Warrior barge line asks for more equitable share of the through rail and water rate on commodities moved by the barge line. The War rior being new development and not having old established base of making joint rates with, the junction railroads as the Mississippi had, when connection was had with the railroads the local rates were all lowed the railroads. In cotton from Decatur to Tuscaloosa the local rail rate would be $1.2o, while the barge line charged 80 per cent of the through rail rate to New Orleans, which would be "A cents. The barge has to absorb the rail charge and, therefore, had to pay the rail car rier 46 cents per 100 pounds more than it earned. That is how the Warrior has been losing money.
 It is this condition that the barge line has taken to the interstate com merce commission and on which 1t expects a decision in September.

That In the death of Edward Ware Barrett on July 9.s1921. the Birmingham Athletic club lost a loyal member and a noble friend, whose place among those who sup ported it's work and plans for good will. long remain unfilled.'
 MT. Barrett was a charter mem Der of the Birmingham Athletic club, and always keenly alive to its well fare. He realized its field of work. to draw together the young men of the city in a concerted effort for constant physical training and fre- quent friendly athletic contests. He realized the basic needs of the as- sociation-a comfortable meeting place for the young men, a cordial public support, and loyal member ship of enough of the older men to give the club dignity before the pub lie. All these MT. Barrett worked for in his capacity as a member of the club, member of the public, and publisher of a great newspaper; and the club will do well to make him an exemplar for its membership. in every respect in which he came in touch with the club.
 MT. Barrett's work for good should live long In our memory; and let each member strive to make his own work In the clubs interest a-1iving mem orial to the departed exempiar.

 whereas, this plan seemed to Jim necessary in order that the expenses of the department might conform to the law and at the same tune save the necessity of laying off any members of the department, which seems to have reached the minimum number requisite to inc proper handling of the affairs of said department; and,
 whereas, there has arisen some discussion by people not directly 'n- terested as are the members of the department as to the wisdom of said plan, and some criticism ou.- side of the department of the public to mean that the commissioner was not supported in. this plan by the entire force of ms department,
 This is, therefore, to express tne sympathy and hearty support 0. the commissioner by members or his department, and to express ie- gret that any word may have been uttered by any one not connected with this force which would tend to leave the impression that tns commissioner and hls employees and subordinate officers were not in full agreement and accord as to his views and plans, and that we de- sire it to be known that the cons missioner and the entire force under him are working in absolute agres- ment and accord for the public in terest and for the interest of the members of the department.
