SUBJECT MAY
 BE COMPLAINT Commission Meets in Birmingham Today. TO DISCUSS RATE ADyANcEs Intention of State Tribunal Is to
 Hurry Complaint. Evidence es skipper. To Be Considered fin Making Up Prayer to later
 state Commerce Ccmmission--
 No Advance to Mobile.

What will be the outcome of the meeting of the Alabama Railroad Com mission. which is scheduled to be held fn Birmingham today, is a matter or the greatest speculation. It has been learned that the Commissioners. armed for battle are to assemble today prob ably for the commencement of hostili- ties which already have been several weeks delayed.
 It Is expected that the formal object of the informal" gathering will be to discuss the best and most expeditions means of presenting to the Interstate Commerce Commission the complaint of Alabama shippers against what Is denounced as the ravages of the rail- roads in the matter of increases on the grain and food products. A few days ago Commissioner W. D. Nesbitt made announcement in Birmingham that the commission would at some time soon present the complaint to the Washington authorities.
 When the Commission was In session here President Charles Henderson made similar announcement Now. however, with the Commission in Birmingham and Governor Conner at hand to lend his advice. a step is assured. and this step, it is thought, is the one which win occupy the attention or the Com- n1issioners today.
 whether or not shippers of the state have complied with the request of Com missioner Nesbitt to forward evidence to the Commission on the alleged fn- furious results of rate advances is not known. A general objection has been made ever since the increases were announced.

WORK OF PENSION BOARD
 GETS WELL UNDER WAY

Surrounded by heaps of papers from all counties in the State. Col. E. E. Starr and pr. R. D.

It is believ- ed that they have work on hand suf- hcient to keep them here for a couple of weeks They are meeting in the offic of the State Auditor.

It ts believed that not only can the work be dispatched better with three members of the Board present but in the event of differences of tudg- ment arising in considering the appli- cations the third member could expe- dite matters by untieing the vote. Last year there were approximately 2s0O applications which had to fall under the scrutiny of the State Board. No less than 400 of these were rejected by the State Board: pr: Jackson es- | Der of applications this year will excel | that of last year.
 The State Board has the power of | promoting the pensioners already on | the roll from lower to higher class.

WEATHER DISPENSATION
 TO CONTINUE WITH US

Continuance of pleasant weather in Montgomery is promised by the local bureau. Because of the development of an area of low barometer over Kan sas 1t is possible that the latter DOT tion of today will be cloudy. but fair weather will predominate and rain will be absent. The temperature is expect ed to remain below the 90 mark.
 The weather locally yesterday was eouable and cool. Tn the heat of the day the thermometer registered s7 and a slight breeze added to the pleas ant condition. While moderate tenn peratures were general throughout tha country there was a small rise yester- day due to the existence of storm area over Kansas. From the same cause fairly general showers fell in inc Lake region and the Middle West.
 With the exception of the South rain was well distributed over the agrt- cultural districts Of the country in ac- cord with the special forecast of the denartment at Washington.

Alabama. it Is a significant fact that the citizens of Mobile. apparently, have not been campaigning against the in- creases with the same force that has characterized the other sections of this State It is whispered around, pnof- ficiaily. that Mobile Is excluded from the advances. Should this be the case, people of Montgomery would add am other score to the aggravations of which they complained when the Mont gomery Freight Bureau made request of the Interstate Commerce Commission that readjustment of rates be made to this city.
 Mobile Not Affected.
 Tn the event that such discrimina- tion is again being made against Mont somery, 1t is thought that the new condition of affairs will be one of the best defenders in behalf of Montgom- ery's readjustment briefs.
 The local case is still claiming the attention of the Washington organiza- ton. The briefs which the railroads recently submitted in reply to the briefs of the Bureaus attorneys have been replied to again, and the matter IS now in statu quo, pending the call or the Commerce Commission for an oral hearing.
 The formal complaint which the Commission of Alabama is to make against the railroads and submit to the Commerce Commission will be framed much after the style of the Georgia and Texas complaints. It is understood that the Commissioners have been busy for quite while on the matter of establishing sufficient proof to show the railroads wrong in the new controversy. All of the com piaining states will present a similar petition for the fighting of the alleged wrongs.
 Since the announcement from some of the railroads that an increase of freight rates was essential to their growth and sustenance, showing a de- termination on the part of the railways to resist the action of the states. a much greater interest has manifested itself. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad. taking a lead in the matter of upholding the increases. has sub mitted and had printed a list of their receipts and expenditures. Other rail- roads. the opinion is. are preparing to take a similar step in order to justi- fy their course in the matter of in- creases.
 When the Georgia Federal Court granted an injunction to the state at Mount Airy. railroad attorneys there certified their intention of offering strong and strenuous resistance before the Washington tribunal. Their silence for the past ten days is taken as an indication of their preparation for a fight to the death.
 It is possible that the Railroad Com mission may make up their formal complaint in Birmingham today.
