F[ORE ENCE STRONC FOR SINGLE LINE HAUL ON SOUTHER ERN
Shippers Losing Money By Two Line Rate On North
 ern Of Alabama
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU I THE AGE-lIERAID
 

At a meeting which was attended by large number of representatives of manufacturing interests of Flor ence and others interested In ship ping, the Chamber of Commerce went on record Monday night as deter mined to carry on the fight for the passage by the present legisl lature Of the bill presented by Lauderdale county's representative classifying as one-liue haul the transporta ton of freight over two railroads owned and controlled by the same railroad, thereby saving local ship pers the difference between rates over a one line and a two line haul
 The bill has already been intro duced in the legislature and referred to d committee of which (. W. Ash craft of Lauderdale and J. r. Delony of Colbert are members. The Cham Der of Commerce will send q dele gation to Montgomery to argue the merits of the bill when it comes up for discussion before the committee. Soions Back Bill.
 Representatives of Lauderdale, Col bert and Franklin counties and the Chambers of Commerce of Selma and Gadsden have pledged their support of the bill and the cooperation of other communities that will be vital ly affected is being sought.
 It was pointed out at the meeting that Florence shippers are paying a bonus of more than $20,000 per year to the South hern and Northern Ala bama railroads on account of the two line haul charged by these roads de- spite the fact that 95 per cent of the stock of the Northern Alabama is owned by the Southern railway.
 The bill has been presented to the legislature because, 1t was stated, the matter has been before the Alabama public service commission for more than two years without action. It is a matter of record that eight similar cases have been brought to the at tentlon of the interstate commerce commission, which resulted in de- cisions against the railroads.
 o O O
 Money Is Being Lost.
 It was stated that had the one line haul been in effect last month it would have saved the government S1,040, and the Sheffield company $500 on shipments on coal alone. An instance of the discrimination of the two line haul rate was pointed out in the rate on brick from Chatta- nooga and from Birmingham. This rate from Chattanooga is 10 cents for 170-mile haul, and from Birmingham it is 111a cents for a 135-mHe haul making the buying of brick in Bir mingham prohibitive. Florence ship pers and those interested in the fu- ture development of the Muscle Shoals district as jobbing and manufacturing center consider the passage of the bill as an absolute necessity.
