Charles Ellis, chairman of the
nsportatlon committee, will appear
before tho railroad commission next
• k to present Havannah's protest.
•* action of Atlanta Is viewed a* an
attempted effort to cut In on one of the
foremost Industries of Savannah and
Brunswick and without Just reason.
The Atlanta freight bureau ha* en
tered before the state railroad commls
slon a protest against discrimination
In freight rate* pn raw fertilizer ma
terials In favor- of Nashville and
Birmingham from the porta of Savan
nah and Brunswick. The commission
has called upon the railroads to answer
tlie charges of discrimination and the
matter will be decided In a short time.
According to the schedules of freight
rates published by the .railroads the
rate on raw fertilizer material, Spanish
pyrites, brimstone nnd other minerals
used as a basis for fertilizers. Is higher
from the ports of Bavannah and Bruns
wick lo Atlanta than from tho same
porta to Birmingham, Ain,, and Nash
ville, Tenn.. where large fertiliser
plants are located.
The rale from Savannah and Bruns-
Ick to Nashville Is <!.«. The rate
from Savannah nnd Brunswick to At
lanta, a great deal shorter distance. Is
<2.67. In spite of the fart that the
greater part of these shipment* pain
directly through Atlanta, a lower rate
Is given to the point* beyond, nearly
twice the distance.
Following the filing of a protest by
the freight bureau a short time ago th*
railroad commission called upon the of
ficials of the various railroads to make
answer, showing why such on apparent
discrimination exists. These answers
have been tiled by several of the rail.
roaia between th* two points nnd »*V'
eral answer* are to be yet received.
Th railroads, In their answer* to the
commission, take the ground that the
rates to NaihVIlle and Birmingham are
fixed by other railroads leading Into
thoae cttlea and that the roods in Geor
gla have no control over the rates.
The fertilizer plants In Atlanta who
nre Interested In the reduction of rates
are the Armour, Swift. Furman Farm
and Jmprovement Company, Old Do
minion, Marietta and the Atlanta OH
and Fertiliser Companies. In Birming
ham nnd Nashville are several large
competing companies, the largest of
which Is «*ld to be controlled by the
same stockholders who control the
large railroad systems and whl?h would
thus be In a position to dictate rates.
