 ed This Week AFT TER REUNION BUSINESS Special Rates Announced for Several Meetings In Alabama-shippers' Petition Again Before the Ala
 bama Car Service Assn.
AFTER REUNION BUSINESS

Assistant General Passenger Agent Alex Hinton of the Kansas City, Mem phis and Birmingham railroad will be in Birmingham today, and it is believed that while here he will indicate who is to succeed Charley Jones as travelling Since the resignation of Mir. Jones c. M Billheimer, the local passenger agent, has been looking after the business formerly attended to by MT. Jones, but it is not believed that the Kansas City line will require one man to cover the territory to which two men have heretofore been assignd There is some talk of Jack Cornatzar's territory being extended to take in a portion of that covered by Mir Jones, but this is doubted by those ia miliar with the conditions of the south east. Mir. Cornatzar's headquarters are in Atlanta and he travels Georgia, Flori- ds and the Carolinas. The management of the road will likely appoint another travelling agent with headquarters in this city.
