LOCAL SHIPPERS ID
 ATTEND HEARING
Commissioners to Hear Pro- tests Against Advance in
 Southern Freight Rates

Ex parte 69. This is the subject that will necessitate visit to Atlanta tomor- row by Secretary o. L. Bum of the Bir- mingham traffic bureau and a number of local shippers.
 Elk parte 6s is an order recently made by the United States railroad adminis- tration. It advanced the freight rates on all commodities in the southern terri tory. that Is, all of the United States south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi rivera It ap- plies to no other section of the country.
 It advances the rates IS per cent on all classes, and if the interstate com merce commission allows it to go into effect. as proposed by the railroad ad- ministration. all classes of merchandise shipped by rail in the south, whether passing between points in the south or coming into or going out of this sec tion will be taxed just that much more before they reach the ultimate con sumner.
 Protests against the increase have been filed with the interstate commerce commission. A. hearing was held in Washington ~on 'these protests several days ago, but in order to enable south ern shipping interests to further present their claim, another hearing was set for Monday, October 6, in Atlanta. c. H. McChord of the United States interstate commerce commission. who sat in the case at Washington, will conduct the At lanta hearing.
 One of the arguments against the ad- vance in rates is that the southern roads are the only ones in the United States that are making money at this time and that if any increase is made it should be in the territory where the roads are losing money and not where they are making profits.
 It is understood that traffic managers of some of the furnace companies will attend the hearing to add their testimony to that of MT Bum.
 Representatives of the shipping inter- ests of Montgomery and Mobile, Atlanta. Jacksonville. Fla: Charlotte, N. C.; New Orleans, La.: Memphis and Chattanooga. Tenn, and Roanoke. Va, will be present at the hearing Monday.
 In addition to protesting against the new increase in rates, Mir, Bum will also take up the matter of fabricating in transit rate on iron and steel for Bir- mingham. He has had this matter up with the interstate commerce commits sion, and while in Washington he was requested to present further data at At lanta tomorrow.

The addition. which doubles the size of The AEe-Hern1d building, has been made necessary by the in- crease In every department of the paper during the past few years. For some time the present struc- ture, which was considered at the time of its construction nine years ago as large enough for at least 20 years. has been too small to properly handle the business of the paper. The heavy increase of ad- vertisinE and circulation and the extension of nn branches of the editorial. circulation and busi- ness departments have over crowded the floors devoted to these branches of the paper and have made necessary considerable increases in the mechanical de- partments. calling for much more floor space.
 The plant of The AEe-Herald, which is thoroughly modern and spIendidiy equipped In every de- paftment. will be one of the best arranged and finest in the entire country when the addition Is conn plcted.

THOUSANDS OF VISITORS

The thousands of visitors Monday and every other day of the big exhibi- tion will agree with President Brown, he thinks, that he has succeeded ad- mirably in making the arrangements. Thrillers, spectacular stunts. brilliant pageants, unparalled feature attrac- tions, all these have been brought here and lined up on the most gorgeous mid way in the south, all "rearin' to go' to make things hum and spread joy among the fall pilgrims to Alabama's chief metropolis.
 It was desired to bring to the Fair the one best thriller in America. It didn't take long to pick it-Lieut. Lock- lear who defies death and danger by changing from one airplane to another in mid-air. right before the eyes of grand stand spectators. Is easily the premier daredevil in the United States. But could he be gotten for the Fair?
 President Brown. who has banished the word can't from his vocabulary, went after this attraction. with the re- suit that the two giant, fast planes now test at the Fair grounds, ready for the initial trip Monday when Lieut.. Locklear will once more tempt fate and dare the gods of fortune for the benefit of the crowds at the Fair.
