BARGE LINE MAY
 BE DISCONTINUED, AGENT DECLARES
MobiIe-NeW Orleans Route Offers 20 Per Cent Re-
 duCtion In Rates

MOBILE, Ala, August Sunless local shippers give better support to the barge line between New Orleans and Mobile, inaugurated sometime ago by the Mississippi Warrior, 1t will likely be discontinued, it was stated yesterday by II. M. Wilson, local agent for the barge line.
 The present service, maintaining weekly sailings from New Orleans to Mobile, offers a differential of 20 per cent under rail rates for the same haul, the agent said. Local shippers, Mr Wilson stated, have been slow to take advantage of the lower rates and may lose the sailings.
 Since June 29, when the weekly sailings were inaugurated, the line has maintained it's schedule faith fully. The barges leave New Orleans Friday afternoon, arriving in Mobile late Sunday night or Monday morn ing, assuring shippers of their freight by Monday noon every week.
 Freight on the Bienville street landing by Thursday afternoon is placed aboard the barges for sailing the next morning for New Orleans, MT. Wilson sald
 Some time ago local shippers took advantage of the differential, receiv- ing large quantities of sugar and other merchandise from New Orleans via the barge line, it was stated, and prior to the beginning of the present service shipments were somewhat slow.
 The new service, MT. Wilson said, has proved constant adherence to its schedule since inauguration.

INVESTIGATE GLASS RATES

The interstate commerce commits sion's investigation of class rates within the southern territory is re- garded as particularly important case, inasmuch as the decision reacher in this case will have di- rect bearing upon southern com- modity rates, which are expected to be issued in the near future.
 This was the statement today by R. G. Cobb, traffic manager of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce. Scores of briefs have been filed with the in terstate commerc commission in the class rate investigation, according to information received at MT. Cobb's office. He expressed doubt, however. that the case will be disposed of be- fore late this year or possibly early next year, in view of the immense volume of data to be considered. The importance of the class rate class to commodity rates Is that future com modity rate scales will bear a rela- tionship to the first class rate sched- ule, MT. Cobb explained.
