MONDAY. MAY !
FOR LOWER RATES
WILL WAGE EIGHT
Pres. Tanner Thinks Roads
Discriminate Against
' Southern Mills.
Charlotte, N. C., May *7.—S. B. Ton
ner, president of the American Cotton
.Manufacturers - Association, whose
home la In this city, has made some
Important statements regarding the fu
ture attitude of the South fn the matter
of freight rates to Pacific coast points.
Mr. Tanner says the South has not
given up the light for lower rates by
any means. He said, among other
things: . , *
■■As we have lost out In the decision
of a few days ago bearing on this case,
• there will, of course, have to be a new
starting point found from which to
make a new beginning In the matter.
•The decision of the Interstate com
i merce commission was against the
i Southern cotton mills.
■'This reason reduced to Its last antl«
ysls," continued Mr. Tanner, "amounts
; to about this—because I live near the
• place where my raw product-la secured
: I can not get as cheap a rate as the
man who lives somewhere else, because
he has to send off to get his raw mate-
■ rial."
In the opinion of Mr. Tanner, there
I was absolutely no reason Ip this state-
; ment made by the commission, regard-
■ ing the proximity of Southern cotton
■ mills to the raw cotton, to show why
; the railroads should make a dlscrlml-
? nation. In other words, a railroad run
ning out of New York must charge
. manufacturers up less money because
they have to send away for their raw
' material, and charge the Southern mills
a higher rate because their raw mate
rial Ts Just outside.
"How this can have anything to do
: with the fallroads making two rates
t for these different sections, on such
; grounds as these, I can not under-
i stand," declared Mr. Tanner.
