GIVE THE WARRIOR A CHANCE


The Port of Birmingham Company, which
built the port of that name on the Warrior
and had it provided with present facilities
reports $4,000 tons in excess of the previous
year as being handled there last year. What
is of greater interest is the statement of the
president of the company that the port would
do twice the business if adequate equipment
were provided both there and in river craft.
He might have added that much greater
business depends also on the forthcoming
decision of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission with reference to division of the
through freight rate between the railroads
and the river on traffic shared by the two.
It has been shown that some of these divis-
ions are the height of absurdity, as, for
instance, that on cotton from such points as
Cullman and Decatur to New Orleans via
the barge line out of Tuscaloosa. On such
shipments the rail carriers, by taking adj
vantage of a local rate, may receive more for
transporting the cotton to the river than
they would if they carried it to New Orleans,
and the barge line must pay the carrier its
charge out of through rate that is forty
five cents under the railroads short-line
charge to the river. The river will lose
two dollars and fifty cents on each bale of
cotton that it might handle out of Cullman,
Decatur and other Northern Alabama points
to New Orleans.
The Warrior has not been allowed to make
good. The Mississippi section of the Missis-
sippi- Warrior barge line service has made
a better showing because there were water
borne rates at Mississippi river terminals
remaining over from those days when the
rail carriers were putting the old boat ser
vice out of business by low-rate competition.
The Warrior is brand new carrier and
hence started business with no such adj
vantages as the Mississippi. 1t is, therefore,
unfair to expect the same results of opera
tions on the Warrior until it has a fair
division Of the through rates such as the
Mississippi service enjoys The Warrior is
performing a great service for the public.
1t has broadened Birmingham's trade terri
tory by its low-cost transportation to the
gulf at Mobile, where further low-cost trans
portation Is waiting. It has lowered cost of
manufacture of fertilizer materials in Bir-
mingham by bringing in raw materials at
lower-than-rail rates, and has economical
the manufacture Of steel products through
its 1ow-cost haulage of Brazilian ores. AIDE
quate equipment and fair division of the
through rates will more than vindicate the
Warriors development.

IN ROW
OVER NAVY
FINANCE
Warns Comptroller General Not
to interfere With His
Expenditures.
BY H. X. REYNOLDS,
international News Service.


Secretary Of the Navy DENLY and
the Comptroller General of the
United States were openly arrayed
against each other today in a bat
tie over their respective powers and
authority In spending the Govern
ment's money.
DENLY has written the Comptroller
General a letter, stating that the
latter's efforts to control naval ex-
penditures are inconsistent with
the statute which declares that the
Secretary of the Navy Is the head or
the Navy Department"
Smarting under this charge, j. r.
McCarl, the Comptroller, who was
appointed to the position soon after
the Budget Bureau was organized
in 1921, planned to make full re-
port to President Harding and to
Congress on alleged illegal disburse-
ments by the Navy Department.
May Go to Courts.
Attorney General Daugherty may
also be asked to arbitrate the dispute
and it is possible that McCarl Will
resort to the Federal courts to find
out just how far he can go in telling
Cabinet officials where and how they
can spend public funds.
The Comptroller General, little
known to the public at large, is the
head Of the General Accounting Or
flee, which Is a super-government
agency charged by law with the
settlement, independently of the ex-
ecutive departments, Of all claims OF
or against the United States.
The trouble with the Navy De-
partment arose when Comptroller
McCarl ordered a navy paymaSter
to withhold the pay Of a retired en-
listed man on account OF alleged
overpayments previously made to
him. The disbursing officer refused
to do this without the consent OF his
superior officers.
McCarl demanded a report" from
Secretary DENLY and he got 1t In
the form Of a letter, which told him
in plain terms to stop issuing orders
over the head Of the Secretary.
DENLY Scores Practice.
This practice, DENLY declared,
"can only result in confusion and
should be discontinued. No. law has
been brought to my attention which
provides that the executive depart
ments Of the Government or their
disbursing officers shall be under the
control and direction Of the Comp
troller General"
Other Cabinet officials are under
stood to have similar grievances
against the General Accounting Of
flee, but 1t has remained for Secre-
tary DENLY to take up the cudgel in
their behalf.
The fight is expected to rage back
and forth until it Is brought to an
end by a decision either from Presi-
dent Harding or Attorney General
Daugherty, although it will be re-
newed again when Congress gets a
chance to null over It.
