PROVIDING JOBS FOR CR|PPLES IS
 SOUND BUSINESS Spirit of Willingness More Than Offsets Disability,
 Says Member Manufac- turers' Association
By Associated Press

New York. March 21.-Provding jobs for disabled soldiers, sailors and marines should not be regarded by employers as a form of patriotic charity, for it is prov ing "a sound business proposition, Fred erick w. Keosh of the National Manu- facturers' association declared in an ao- dress here today at the closing session of the international conference on rehabilita- ton of the disabled
 Tt has been the experience of firms already employing disabled men," said MT. Keough, that they are so keenly appreciative of the opportunity offered that their spirit of willingness more than makes up for the disability
 The greatest essential in the work ot rehabilitation, he declared, was impress ing on the men that ''their spirit and their attitude are the biggest factors in their success"
 Manufacturers, he said, are ready to give them every opportunity, but the will to make good' must be strong in the men if they are to succeed.
 Curtis F. Lakeman, director of the bu- reau of after-care in the Red Cross civil ian relief department, spoke on the Red Cross nome service" asserting it would be continued through the entire period of readjustment to civilian life The Red Cross will continue it's home service to the families of fighters. during that period, he said, "as If the men were still at the front"
 The service includes financial aid as well as counsel. information and gen oral helpfulness.'
 The department also will render fnan cial and other aid to discharged soldiers who are in need of it, he said.

Negroes Appeal for Passage Tennessee
 State Relief Bill
By Associated Press

Nashville, Tenn, March 2An appeal to the governor and the legislature for the passage of the state police bill has been presented by the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of the Colored People The appeal is signed by J. c. Napier, J. A. Jones and R. L. Mayberry.
 It is stated in the memorial that lynch ing in the south has reached its climax, that it would appear that the law had lost it's sanctity and charging that the confession of the citizenry that lynchings cannot be prevented is but to say that the people are incapable of self-govern- ment.
 Mob law is stamped as anarchy. sav- agery in it's worst form, and is contrary to all forms of civilized government. The memorial concludes by appealing to Governor Roberts to give his support to the police bill, which is primarily designed to suppress mob violence in this state. The. appeal is made in the name of 100000 black people of Tennessee fin the name of righteousness justice and fair play; in the name of the honor of the state and in the name of the sol diers who bled and died to make the world better place in which to live"

Plan Strong Legal Fight
 h Meridian Rate Case

Montgomery, March 21.-(SpeciaAN Alabama officials Friday laid the foun- datlon for an interesting legal battle against what is termed by them as hold usurpation of the rights. of the state in the Meridian rate case, which now is before the interstate commerce commission at Washington and which will be decided in short time. Tne case developed into a live one when the attorney general, J. Q. Smith, war instructed to employ an attorney 10 advise the state" in the rate mater making suggestions, as to the propet methods to use in fighting the case or iginated by the business men of Me:l- dian, who claim railroads are discrinl- mating against the Mississippi town in the rates fixed for interstate and in trastate rates.
 Decision. to employ extra help lil the case resulted from an executive conference Friday afternoon late pe- tween the three members of the Ala bama public service commission, Al torney General Smith and Governor Kilby. The name of the attorney to be employed was not. made public. He will first investigate the Meridian raEe case, which originated many mont 5 ago, and will advise what is best for the state. p
 The rate case properly should oe before the Alabama public service com mission, it is argued, because intrasta.e rates are attacked by the M eridian bus mess men.

States railroad administrations and atho state officials appear to-be determined that Alabama rates shall not be changed without the approval of the "duly constituted rate-makiHg' body in Alabama. the Alabama public service commission"
 Illustrating. the complairt of MsFiz dian the commission at Montgomery shows the following: a ,z. .2..

Tn other words, an article shipped from Bir- mlngham to south Alabama, a distance of. 1e0 miles, may be shipped for less than the same article shipped the same distance from Meridian into, Ala banla territory.

 Previous, discussions, among Chamber of Commerce members and rate ex- perts in Mont gomery arezsafd to show that shippers in Alabama would lose thousands of dollars if. the interstate commerce conmisslonrai the intra- state rates, making the equal tosrate9 charged Meridian shippers into Ala bama territory.
 It is further claimed that the com mission cannot tear down the. srates fixed on commodities in Alabama by T commission giving rate making powers by the legislature of Alabama. The state is on1y concerned in the matter relating to intrastate rates.
