TRAFFIC HEADS ID PROTEST PROPOSED
 FREIGHT INCREASE
Unjust to Patrons of the Southern Roads, Says o. l.. Bum of Birmingham
 Traffic Bureau

Representatives of the traffic bu- reaus of Chambers of Commerce. Busi- ness Mems clubs and other civic cr- ganizations in the southern states and the state railroad commissioners Will meet in Atlanta tomorrow morning to formulate d protest against the in- creased freight rates announced by Railroad Director McAdoo to become effective the latter part of June Di- rector McAdoo has been requested 10 send a representative to the meeting.
 O. L. Bum, manager of the Birming- ham traffic bureau. will attend the meeting and will probably be accom- panied by two or three other members of the bureau.
 s,rhe southern roads are now making money, more. in fact than they ever did before" said MT Bum. while the roads north of the Ohio river are los- ing money. Under the policy ai- nounced by the railroad administration receipts from all roads the control of which was taken over by the govern ment. are Jumped and. after allowing each system dividends equalling the ay- craze for the three pre-war years, the balance is turned into. the. United States treasury. It is unjust to the patrons of southern roads to require them to make up the deficit of the roads in other sections of the country, where conditions are not so favorable as here.

REALTORS WANT ALL
 THE INSIDE DOPE |ON GOVERNORS RACE
w. D. Nesbitt to Tell Mem- bers of Exchange About Tom Kilby at Today's
 Luncheon

The Birmingham Real Estate ex- change Is going to have a bit of politics at their luncheon today. Bob McDavid, who secretaries for this or ganization, makes formal announce ment of the speaker for today. w. D. Nesbitt, in the following McDavidesque tongue:
 Boys. we have something on the bill for Thursday that is little out of the ordinary. Our old friend pubyer' Dee Nesbitt who looks after Tom Kilby's political fences in Alabama, will make a 20-minute talk, outlining the dis tinguished Annistonian's platform for governor. This Is the first of series of speeches from the campaign managers of the respective candidates for guber- material honors and it should prove in teresting.
 None of us feel much in the humor to talk politics after that splendid Red Cross drive. but then governor has to acquaint ourselves with the policies of the various contestants. We are neither going to indorse nor condemn Mr. Kill by at this meeting, but the purpose of signing up Mir. Nesbitt for this talk is to educate the boys on what he stands for.
 Later on we expect to have Bill Brandon. Charlie Teasley, John Wallace and anybody else who enters the race to appear before us.'

REPLIES ID HE ORDERS OF
 CITY COMMISSION
B. R., L. X P. Go. President States Legal Steps Will Have Little Effect on
 West End Paving

The city commission has ordered City once. utilizing every agency af his command, to compel the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to proceed with the Tuscaloosa avenue paving work. following the receipt of letter from J. s. Pevear. president of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. in which letter Mir. Pevear has taken n hesitnting nt- titude. and the commission feels that action is taken the better.
 The letter from Mir. Pevear was written to the commission on May 20. City En- gineer Julian Kendrick was instructed to advise the street railway company. in legal form, that the work must proceed. Attorney Uliman has armed him with the necessary weapons of legal procedure and some immediate action is anticipated
 MT. Pevear intimates in his letter that the city would be unpatriotic in pushing this measure, as he would be compelled to take labor and material from the gov ernment in order to complete the work allotted to the street railway company as It's part of the contract. He advises the commission that legal steps can have very little effect upon the situation
 MT. Pevear's letter to the commission follows:
 Birmingham. Ala. May %, 1918
 Gentlemen; This will acknowledge re- cept of your letter of May 16 advising hn 4t...N .s--s lution instructing the city attorney to take steps to compel us to proceed with our part of the improvement of Tusca- loosa avenue
 We have always been willing, subject to our ability to obtain the money the material and labor necessary to do this work, to carry out the wishes of the city commission in this matter so that legal steps can have very little effect on the situation.
 Now that the city has taken definite position we will immediately prepare es- inmates and submit them to the capital issues commission, and later, if the prof ect receives it's approval, to the war finance corporation for the purpose of ob- taining the money.
 You appreciate. of course, that the ex- pense of this work is now more than double that which was originally con telnplateu, ana we cannot, or course, eS- innate very closely as to the exact amount because we do not know just how much we will have to offer labor in order to induce it to leave government service and the service of the essential industries of the district. We presume, however. that 1t is the city's wish that We take this labor from the govern ment and these industries regardless of the expense, and will be very glad to vffff fir,,, as 1t progresses. Yours very truly,
 J. $. PEVEAR, President Birmingham Railway, Light
 and Power company.

No More Trees Will
 Be Cut for Lumber in
 Red Mountain Park

The city commission at an adjourned meeting yesterday afternoon settled the question of cutting trees in Red Mountain park, by unanimous de- cision to refuse to allow the trees to be cut for lumber.
 The commission had been negotiat- ing with a timber man for the sale of the pine trees in the unimproyed acreage that is known as Red Noun tain park, but in view of the public sentiment against such action, they decided to call off such negotiations.
 There is not enough involved in the proposition in dollars and cents to jus tify the probability of dissatisfaction over the proposed sale of the timber, :" said pr. Barrett, "and we have set tied it for good now--there will be no trees cut"
