 Open To All Products 5 Save Coal

MOBILE, Ala, Feb. 2-(Special .Leased Wire. )-Cordova,. not Birming- port. as first announced. will be the { northern ssrminus of the Warrior river barge line service, the Chamber of , 6onmerge announced, following the ttceibt of telegram to this effect from Cohgressman John McDuffie, ssesterday. The ports of the Warrior, nst which the bargegs will make regu. lar %calls, are Cordova, Birmingport, Ttsealoosa, Demopqlis and Mobile.
 ss ThG port ofssC C0rdova- will be, open ,tp III ycommoditi save, coal, the con gtegaman's standardization stated. It SSxpIAined that Colonel Ashburn, chief S riyar services, had ruled against the Icceivihg of coal at this port because $s6fF tho railroads have not rates on the commodity below reach of the barge kne. This, however, the 4colo. mel informed, will not interfere with rate structure on other commodities. 1"
 Local rate experts are informed that the Southern railroad handles coal from Cordova to Mobile at rate lower than the barge line could allow and make expenses which interpreted means the line in question is hauling coal here at a. loss. ss.
 Much For Mobile
 The impression prevails generally that the separati of the Warrior from the Mississippi and the snbse- quent lifting of embargoes at the up- river ports, will mean much to Mo- [ bile, On the other hand, the expla- nation is made, that the barges can not call at Tuscaloosa and Demopo- lis from these ports. t,
 Additional equipment, in the way of small barges that could be left at the port for loading and picked up later and tows to handle these barges, is said to be the. solution of the loss problem. That such equipment will be added to the service believed to be the significance of the lifting of the embargoes. s 3s
 That the Sbarge line was losing from $40, 900 to $50,00O a month be- fore embargoes were placed at the up- river ports, and that this was the reason for the placement. of the em- bargoes was reported .unoffieially. Car riers were not disposed to cooperate with the barge line, taking the s.lion's share of rates" This. condition has been remedied in the recent order of interstate commerce commission
