Referring to the president', letter to

Referring to the Tanania tight, he

The Iron Industry In the South will
not be retarded or Interfered with In
the slightest by the recent published
statement that the tonnage rates on piq
Iron out of Birmingham would be In
creased 25 per ton, according to rail
road men.
"This is wholly erroneous and mis
leading," said a prominent freight of
ficial Thursday. "The rollroada base_
their rates on pig Iron solely and alone
on the quoted prices of that prdduct.,
The agreement Is made with the smelt
ers and the Interests of the Iron Indus
try In the South Is protected at every
turn.
"Anyone acquainted with the fact*
or anyone who might have taken tic-
trouble to And out, might know* tha:
the Increase of 25 cents per ton applle*'
to tonnage going through the Missis
sippi fiver, Ohio river or Potomac river
gateways, ar.d will not affect Southern
manufacturers or rates In this terrl-'
torv in the slightest. The rates In this
territory remain stationary. c?
"The South's Iron producers In Gtor-
gin and Alabama can get Iron out of
the ground and make^lt Into pig Iron
cheaper than the producers In any sec
tion of the country, and the railroad**
stand by them, enabling them to com
pete with the smelters and producers in
Pittsburg and other places.
"Granting that the published state
ment wgs true," he continued, "the
manufacturer of the product In Atlan
ta would lose nothing. His prices have
been Increasing steadily, even If the
trust has Increased them for him. The
manufacturer pay* the Increase In
freight at flrst, but he more than get*
It back In his Increased prices. Ttv*
rates were lowered some time ago In
order to allow the amelters to sell their '
Iron, and at that time It was agreed
that when the prices went up, and they
are now near double, the roads wei j
to re-establish their former rates.
"There Is hardly any profit for the
nmds In handling pig Iron anyway," ' •*
continued. "The rates are about tin
lowest now In effect. Take, for In
stance. a car from Birmingham to At
lanta with $0,000 pounds at $1 per ton.
would only be $30. while If this aamr
car was handling grain I la earning ca
pacity would be doubled and would be
