 turers' building.

 the officials of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad and Nashville, Chatta- 

 nooga & St. Louis Railway to appear and show cause why they should not 

 grant more satisfactory switching privileges in local terminals to the 

 Tennessee Central Railroad. The Tennessee Central entered Nashville 

 eight or ten years ago, and the old lines have charged such high switching 

 rates as to make joint business almost prohibitive. The action of the 

 commissioners will be watched with interest by lumber shippers as well 

 as nil others. The case is set for hearing November 25.

 tion, and C. C. Gilbert, secretary of th.it organization, will attend the 

 big meeting of the manufacturers of the Mississippi valley to be held in 

 Chicago December 3 under the auspices of the Illinois Manufacturers' 

 Association. Mr. Willingham, who is president of the Memphis Coffin 

 Company, is one of the most prominent manufacturers in this part of the 

 South. There are a number of prominent lumber firms identified with 

 the Tennessee Manufacturers' Association, including the Anderson-Tully 

 Company and other prominent woodworking concerns. The Tennessee 

 Manufacturers' Association Is seriously considering the appointment of 

 a secretary to look exclusively after export trades in view of the early 

 opening of the Panama canal. His duties would be largely with the 

 Latin countries of South America with which some business in lumber 

 and lumber products has already been worked up. It is believed that 

 this would greatly increase this business and that it would be a good 

 thing for manufacturers of hardwood lumber and lumber products, and 

 lumber interests are pleased with this prospect.
