Mared for the New Orleans board of
trad a. The complaint originally was
tiled by the Galveston chamber of
Coauaerce and interests at Houston
Port Arthur Orange and Beaumont
intervened. The latter three ports
vera aot renresented hers today.
- Tb complainants allege that it was
eajast and unreasonable discrlmins-
tioa to permit the Texas and Pacific
Hallway to haul freight from Dallas
ad ather points similarly situated to
Near Orleans t a distance more than
200 aiOes greater than to Texas ports
t the same rata as was charged to

at aeet this eoinpetition and that the
Commission was without authority to

SniasioB with the greet dispsrity in
tha banl to New Orleans ss against
tha banl to Texas ports and urged
that similar rates applying to both

ence in distance were material would
Work a hardship on the new snd

Out to the commission the necessity
for increased terminal facilities at

traded by tb Issuance of bonds pri-

that this question of mileage scales

Bankers' Chief Deplores
Extravagance in
Industry
Associated Press Beport.
MASON CITY. Ia.. June 17.
Unorganised groups of labor farm-
ers and the "white collar" workers-
will call a halt to special privileges
enjoyed by orgsnised labor and capi-
tal at a not far distant time Walter
W. Head president of the American
Bankers' association told the conven-
tion of the Iowa Bankers' association
today.
These workers he ssld "pay the
freight" and "they will call a halt to
extravagsnce in industry and govern-
ment which increases the cost of com-
modities essential to their existence."
No special class neither capital nor
labor pays tbs bill of organized ef-
fort he asserted.
"Today we have a conflict of capital
and labor Instead of a partnership
with both lust an grasping and domi-
neering" be said. "Each of those
two principal units of production is
seeking the maximum possible reward
of Its own efforts. This results in
a higher cost of living for all opr
people.
"We must return not merely to
normalcy but to sanity. Equity must
have a place in every business trans-
action. There must be a fair day's
work for a fslr day's pay and con-
versely a fair day's pay for a fair
day'a work no more and no less with
equaf emphatii on the 'more' and the
'less! There mutt be equity in taxa-
tion tst in private bualness as much
or gPester consideration for the tax
payera' ability to pay as for the ap-
parent requirements of government
to spend."
