 ON LINTER RATES
Traffic ~ Association Calls Fol Adjustments Of Freight Scale

Informal complaint has been filel
 with the Southern Freight association
 by the Birmingham Traffic aasoeiation against newly proposed rates onfcotton and cotton linters from Mississippi river
 crossings and Mississippi valley com
 mon and local points to destinations
 in the southeast, Carolinas. South At
 iantic ports and certain Virginia and Tennessee points.
 These suggested rates exceed those
 prescribed by the Georgia Public Ssrv- l fcA. commission and the Alabama com
 mission, 1t is pointed out, and the local association wdil oppose rates on high
 CT level than the Georgia or Alabams scale.
 mill points, as suggested by the rail-
 roads, are vigorously opposed on the
 ground that there are no commercial ing them. Secretary c. E. Jones of the local association says in his communication
 to the Southeastern Freight associa- ton:
 AnaIyxes Trouble
 Tn submitting your proposed scale on l cotton to Georgia and Alabama des-
 tinations, you stated that whatever
 rates were prescribed for application on cotton between points in these states | would be applied inter-territoriaIly. The distances from points in the Mis- l sissippi valley are not so great to Ala bama mill points as to require destina-
 tfon groupings, and we insist that 2 | scale be used in working out these rates to Alabama mill points. observing as a maximum the prescribed Alabama scale, We also must request that the origin groupings be given the same treat
 ment. This principle of rate-making, 1 so far as this particular adjustment is concerned, is so fundamentally sound
 that we must inform you that, unless
 application of the mileage principle,
 the Alabama mill points will be forced
 to request suspension of the suggested
 basis" l Csmpressed Cotton
 It Is also asked that the rates on
 compressed cotton delivered to the car
 rters in compressed condition be made
 16 cents per 100 pounds less than what | ever rates are decided upon Sor car.
 risrs' privilege movements; and that g general basis of rates be provided on l flat cotton delivered to the carriers
 flat, the basis suggested being 12 cents tper 100 pounds over the carriers' privi- legs rates, which Is the basis prescribed
 by the interstate commerce commission,
 The Birmingham Traffic association
 is aettnR in this matter on behalf of | the various cotton companies in Bir-
 mingham, and the Conner mill interests,
 with mills at Sycamore, Eufaula, Union Springs, Sylacauga. Avondale, Pell City and Alexander City.

WILL VISIT SHOALS
Party From Illinois Coming On
November 10
fMnscIa shoaIs Rureaul

:. FLORENCE, Ala, Oct. 16.-Ap-
proximately 125 members of the Illinois
Manufacturers association will visit the
Muscle Shoals district on Wednesday
Nov; 10, according to information re-
ceived today by G. G. Stewart, north
ern passenger agent of the Southern
railroad by G. G. Williams, agent at
Sheffield. Unusual significance is at
tached to this visit due to the fact that
these men are all manufacturers and
1t is believed that they come not merely
as sightseers, but to investigate the
Muscle Shoals district with a view to
the location of manufactures of diff
frenent kinds here when Wilson Dam
is completed next summer. A special
train of nine cars has been chartered
which will leave Chicago for the Muscle
Shoals district on November IS. On the
return trip the, party is expected to
visit Evansville and Chattanooga. The
visitors will be accompanied by Mr..
Stewart.
! Bridge Opened-The Shoals creek
bridge in east Lauderdale county, which
has been submerged by back waters
from Wilson Dam was again opened to
traffic Wednesday and the ferry which
was put into operation has been dis
continued. With the ways at the dam
opened the waters are now rapidly
nearing the normal level.
