Traffic Bureau Issues Warning to Its Members
 of Freight Bills

It behooves the Birmingham shipper to have his freight bills carefully gone over following the coming in of the new iptrastate and interstate rates. August 26.
 This will be easy matter for mem bers of the Birmingham Traffic Bureau, which is there for that very purpose.
 The Alabama public service commis-- sion has tentatively allowed the inter state rates with the exception of those on the assemblage of raw materials toi furnaces, where a special discrimination is alleged to have been established by the McAdoo war order of 1918. None of the rates go formally into effect and there remains opportunity for special com plaiut
 The traffic bureau has issued the fol- lowing notice to shippers:
 Effective August. 26, 1920, all freight rates, both intra and interstate. will be advanced 9 per cent
 "This percentage advance will doubt less throw out of alignment rates on q large number of commodities in the sams manner as did the g per cent general advance of June 9, 1918. ,
 The Birmingham Traffic Association. will, of course, do it's best to iron out. promptly, all determinations which may result therefrom, yet each member can be of material assistance by bringing to our attention each irregularity they may discover. from day to day.
 "As these matters are brought to ship pers' attention, they are asked to write in regard to each.
 Tt is not amiss, just here, to say that shippers should now be extremely careful in regard to having expense bills audited by this office and especially sn until the carriers have had the oppor- tunity to reissue their tariffs and incol- porate in them the "A per cent advance, thus making them more simple, thersby obviating the possibilities of mistake be- ing made by the various rate clerks.
