Representative Byrnes has ju?t
had a conference with the federal
railroad officials with reference to
the order recently issued by the
Southern Railway prohibiting cotton
buyers from using: the railroad platforms
for the purpose of weighing
and marketing cotton. Mr. Byrnes
urged that the enforcement of the
order would necessitate the construction
of platforms in very small towns
in South Carolina at un explns
which would finally be shifted to the
farmer. '
