A "We are impressed with the fact that the government .railroad administration is go tig to do nothing that will work a wrong and hardship on the slppers of the southern states and we expect an order to be issued at a Very early data correcting the diseriinatory conditions that exist today," sated James T, Ryan, 'seif-etary treasurer of kthe Southern traffic league- upon his return to the city from - Washington where he and other members of the league have been n conference with railroad officials during the past several days. The visit of the traffic experts was made follow ing the issuance tf genera order No. 28 by the United States railroad adm'ftis- . .ration which calls for an increase of 25 per cent in interstate re'ght rates and wh'ch. abandons the intrastate rate. It was and ia the contention of the outhern traffic men that the elim'ua ion. of the intrastate rates in favor ;ot the interstate and the increase of 25 ' er cent in charges would serve to in- Tease the freight bills of various ship .ws anywhere from 60( to more than 100 per cent. In other words, shippers tt North Carol'na, slipping the same mmber of miles within the borders of ' he state, could nbt compote with . hippers in c't'.es out of the state sl,lp ing the same mileage in the state. As .n example, a Danville, Va, shipper ould h p first tlass fre'ght to Greens ore, a distance of 48 miles, for 45a hile a Greensboro shipper would have 0 pay 52 cents to ship 49 miles with, n the' stafe. : This Is just one ins.tanca md on other classes of freight the dif erence is larger jn cents and dollars.
