Railroads operating in Alabama to- day notified the public service com mission that they cannot establish cotton concentration privileges on shipments between Alabama points which carry lower rates than those in their original proposal, The refusal to establish concentration privileges as requested by M. M. Caskie, rep resenting the Alabama Farm Bureau Federation, came in a letter to Frank P. Morgan, member of the commits sion, from c. B. Quinn, chairman of the carriers committee, which con- sidered the proposal
 Simultaneously with this announce ment of MT. Quinn, it became known that bill has been prepared and will be introduced in the legislature which will give the public service commission the right to order the railroads to establish concentration privileges, not only on shipments of cotton, but shipments of other com modities. This bill will be intro- duced during the next few days.

 it's own motion after due notice and hearing, may be fixed or prescribed by the public service commission upon traffic that is wholly inter- state upon such basis as is just and reasonable, but all such privileges and rates shall be open to all ship pers and consignees for a like kind of traffic under similar circum- stances and conditions and such pri- vileges and rates shall at all times be under the supervision, regulation and control of the commission"
