Walker was wondering to- !day, as his private car was being carried through Georgia and into | Alabama on the way to New Orleans |and its Mardi Gras, if the next two days will bring fulfiliment of a de- |sirc almost as old as is the New | York mayor himself. |~ Ever since he was a boy he has wanted to “see New Orleans.” Long ago he was told one must see three cities in the United States, New York, San Francisco and New Or- leans. New York was easy and San I'rancisco came in due course and now he is on his way to New Or- |leans with anticipation added to the expectation. “I wish I could stay a week," said the mayor today, “but as we have lonly two days we will have to see lall we can in the time we have.” During most of his trip through Virginia and North Carolina yester- day Mr, Walker was not “the best |dressed mayor.” He suffered during |a part of the day with a toothache and was an undressed mayor until nightfall, At Danville, Va., he came out, bathrobe and all, to speak to a 10- “ycdr-old “Jimmy"” who likes his name and all that bear it, and when la crowd of a score or more assem- !bled at the station in Greensboro | the mayor was dreseed and came out | to stroll up and down the platform | {surrounded by a number of feminine voters of North Carolina, A visiting Texas woman was on hand, and her first question was: “You ever been to Houston?"” |said the mayor, but I expect to ge th 1 have alrcady been to Dal- las." “Oh come on out Jimmy, never | mind those men,” one of the young women cried as the mayor tarried | | actress's real name; her peak of in Minnesota, for instance; | but the water from that state and inequitable a ments since the unless you are going to be a waiter. for a moment in his private car to great one | d to overload their trucks' time of Moses, if not beyond.

DISPUTE ON COAL RAT! ! Producing coal is one thing; get- | ting it to market is another. The lat- | ter costs considerable, in spite of the | supposedly low rates that railroads ' | are allowed to furnish for such bulk | traffic. Last year the rates to New Eng- | land from West Virginia were very | ;Im’orahl’, greatly to the disgust of operators in Pennsylvania, who are closer to this market. The Interstate Commerce Commission, which ha been considering the minimum rates jonce again, has been severly critl- | cized for reversing its stand on the coal rates to lake cargo ports and meeting the demands of Pennsyl- ! vania for a lower differential. The issue involves lake ports only, ! but in principle it is the same as obtaining for New England points. If the T. C. C. thinks higher rates from West Virginia are neces- ary to lake ports it is only a ques- of time b thinks the principle should be applicd to r poinis. tion re in same oth John J.
