THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 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.
