TO HEAR COMPLAINT OF COAL OPERATORS
 ON FREIGHT RATES
Final Hearing to Be Held Tuesday Morning By District Traffic
 Committe

Final hearing on the complaint of coal operators of the Birmingham district against freight rates now in effect will take place before the Birmingham dis trict traffic committee Tuesday morning. Since the United States took over the operation of the railroads the freight rates on coal from the mines in this dis trict have been largely increased, amounting in some instances to alfost 800 per cent, it is said.
 Before the government took over the roads the rate from the mines to Birming ham was 8 cents a ton. It is now Io cents, or a 100 per cent advance.
 The Birmingham district committee IS clearing it's dockets preparatory to clos ing up its business on January l. when it is expected that the railroads will be turned back to their owners. During the existence of the committee, about a year and half, it has handled several thou-7 sand cases, most of them of minor n- portance. but some that materially af- fected the shipping interests of this sec tion.
 Clarence l.. Pearson of the freight traf- fife department of the Alabama Great Southern railroad, for a number of years located in Birmingham, but whose offices were in Cincinnati at the time the com mittee was created, is chanrman of the district committee.

 In the meantime persons and cor porations subject to the tax are searching the record in an effort to ascertain its provisions and the dates for making returns and paying the tax. There seems to be great deal of confusion on these points, and to clear them up, if a reading or the sec uons relating to returns and payments will clear them up, these are here printed.
 The section imposing the income tax reads as follows:
 Section S16.-A tax is hereby im- posed upon every resident of this state. in addition to all other taxes imposed by this act, which tax shall be assessed. collected and paid an- nually upon and with respect to his entire net income as herein defined, at rates as follows

PUT BACK TRAINS TAKEN OFF DURING
 COAL SHORTAGE
Resumption Is Effective at Midnight Tonight-LOuis- vile & Nashville Trains
 Running South Now

All passenger trains in this part of the south which were taken off during the last week or 10 days will be re- stored tomorrow, it was announced by railroad officials yesterday.
 This action on the part of the rail- roads follows announcement Friday night that the order made about 10 days ago to reduce passenger trains to the lowest possible minimum had been rescinded and that the roads were at liberty to put the trains into service again at their pleasure.
 The order to curtail passenger train service was made to conserve fuel at a time when, due to the coal miners strike, it looked like there. would be an acute shortage. if not an exhaustion of the coal supply in the country.
 Ten passenger trains were taken off of the Louisville and Nashville road in Alabama, including the Decatur and Montgomery accommodations. and two trains on the Alabama Mineral di- vision of that road.
 The Southern Railway took off the accommodation trains between Bir- mingham and Anniston. One through train and the Amory accommodation on the Frisco were taken of. and the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic and Seaboard Air Line each took off one train each way. The Central of Geor- xia operated one of its Birmingham Columbus trains between Birmingham and Goodwater only.
 The regular schedules of all these trains will be resumed at 12:01 o'clock tonight
 The Louisville and Nashville cleared it's track at Montgomery yesterday and the through trains were able to re- sume their regular runs. The first through train to go south of Birming- ham since the flood in the Alabama river overflowed the track at sMont- gomery was the Cincinnati- New Or leans train which left here yesterday morning The northbound train came up last night on its first through trip from New Orleans to Cincinnati.
 Notice of the restored trains was given to Postmaster R. B. Smyer by the regional railroad administrator at Atlanta yesterday.
 Travel on all the roads is unusually heavy at present and during the week or 10 days of the curtailed service the trains were taxed to their capacity to handle the traffic. According to pas senEer traffic representatives more peo- ple are travelling this fall and winter than ever before, and their statements are borne out by hotel managers and clerks who are compelled to turn people away every night for lack of rooms to accommodate them.
