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.
