RATE REDUCTIONS . ENCOURAGING ID
 P|G IRON MAKERS
Reduction Not All They Asked But,Is Substantial and Will Help Resumption of Ala
 bama Furnaces

Birmingham district furnace op- orators feel distinctly more inclined to optimism than in many months following the order of the Alabama public service commission reducing the rates on iron ore and limestone to blast furnaces. I
 The reduction ordered by the com 1 mission Is one of 30 per cent and. thtl railroads are instructed to put them in force on or before october l.. ]
 The railroads can put these rates in effect before October 1 and It is believed probable that they will do So in order to hasten the resumption of operation at furnaces
 John W. Porter, vice president and sales manager of the Alabama com pany, one of the petitioners for. the reduced rates. when informed of the order of the commission last night, said:
 Good News
 Tt is good news. we furnace men asked for a greater reduction and hoped for one. but what we have gotten is substantial and will go long way toward stimulating the resumption of the manufacture of pig iron in Alabama.
 We realize the obligation of the commission to consider every angle of the case and we are going to ac- cept the award with grace It is a considerable lift at a period when southern pig iron Is under strain toI meet competition and every little help counts. It will certainly sn-y courage us to consider resum Dtiorl with more favor than if we had so gotten the reductions"
 Wheels of Industry
 In making the reductions the com- mission said Tn ordering this re- duction in rates on iron ore and limestone, We believe the result will be the revolving of the wheels of industry once more. The commis- sion believes that the carriers will not contest this order and that when it is put into effect the iron industry of Alabama will be able to resume operations with fines~ prospect of being able to compete in the mae- kets of the world.
 The commission knows that when these industries resume operationsz they will not only provide more rev7 enue for the rail lines on the haul age of raw material into their plantsN but will furnish a very large rev enue on the finished product nov 4 ing out" E
 New Rates #
 The new rates ordered by the com ~ on iron ore and limestonex are as follows:
 For distances under 25 miles, s7S cents a ton; 25 and under 50 miles. 47 cents; 50 and under 65 miles. s3 cents; 65 and under 30 miles, Il j. cents; 80 miles and under 100 milee 7s cents; 100 and under 12b miles. Siy cents,
 Rates on. coal by car load .srrfI Under 25 miles, 62h cents; s6 lrH under 50 miles. 75 cents; 50 and under 65 miles, $1.00; 65 and under 125 miles. $112h.
 Rates on coke are: Under 2 miles, 621a cents; 25 and under 50 miles. 75 cents; 50 and under 125 miles, $1.12h.

PRESTON MOTOR co.
 WINS FROM l. C. NINE

Preston Motors experienced little difficulty in trimming the Illinois Central boys yesterday afternoon, 17 to 2. The game was played on the Preston Motors Corporation diamond on Vanderbilt road.
 Ed Giles did the twirling for the Premocar lads and allowed but four hits. The two runs he allowed were unearned. Heavy hitting on the part of Preston Motors, and wildness of opposing pitchers, accounted for the big score.
 Preston Motors are leading tho field in the western division of the City leaRue. and the game yesterday was "duck soup" for them. Mickey O'Brien has his charges going at a steady clip, and the chances are that they will be heard from in the champion ship series.

SOCIAL WORKER
 ID MAKE REPORT
 ON BLIND PEOPLE
Survey of Condition in Re- gard to Blind of City En- bodied In Report--Meet-
 ing at Library Today

Miss Annie BroclSman, teacher ana social worker who for two months has been making a study of Birming ham conditions with regard to the blind, will make her report today at o'clock at the public library.
 These are some of the things her report will show;
 She has visited and located more than 100 blind persons. Has given instruction in reading to many of the sightless. Has put many blind people in touch with others where they might read or study together. Has turned over to Hugh Grant, in charge of the governments work for the blind in this district, several blind persons she has recommended for industrial training.
 Recomm endatioHs
 Miss Brockman's report will in clude the following recomffendations:
 What is so necessary now is to teach the blind to be self support ing, and place them in positions where they can earn a livelihood. It will give them a new lease on life a new interest. The prejudice that people may feel toward giving work 10 the blind must be overcome. They can do as good work in thousands of cases as those with eyes.
 Blind women of Birmingham should be taught to weave baskets maze carpets, sew and numerous other trades that are makipg life more livable for the blind in other sections of the country.
 eA home to another instructing the blind in the revised method of Braille. This is better than a school, since individual help gets so much better results"
 Miss Brockman will set forth how deplorable 1t is that there is no school in Alabama where the blind over 21 years old can go--empha- sizing thereby the need of individ- ual teachers.
 Miss Brockman has taught in the Talladega school for the blind number of years, and is pledged to return there this fall. Her work has been pioneer labor here, and she has tabulated all names ana ad dresses and set down what disposi- ton has been made of cases she has found
 Salesroom Suggested
 Following Miss Brockman's report, Miss Caroline P. Engstfeld will talk. She was chairman for the recent cam paign for books for the blind.
 She will suggest that a salesroom be established in Birmingham where the blind can sell articles they make. Such a salesroom she saw lately in Boston which was great success. The money would go to help make the blind self-supporting.
 Following the meeting-to which the public is invited,--reg gular Sun day reading to the blind will be held. The regular meeting of the association for the blind is set for the first of September at the library. At this meeting a successor to Miss Brockman will probably be chosen.
