FEARING DATA FOR REFERRING IN
 THE MERIDIAN CASE
Traffic Bureau Officials Will Continue Fight Before Pub lie Service Commission
 for IntraState Rates

Traffic bureaus in Alabama are of the Meridian rate case ruling. C.. E. Jones, secretary of the Brming- ham bureau, is in Montgomery at tending a joint conference that is be- ing held with the public service com mission.
 Decision in the Meridian case up- set the old Conner intrastate com modity rates by ordering that cer- tain carriers should not charge more from Meridian, Miss, to points in Alabama in certain territory than they did between the points when shipments originated in Alabama. This raised the Alaba ma intrastate rates by putting them on level with the higher rates from Meridian.
 In a few days after decision was rendered the new rates on coal and iron were abrogated by agreement, these commodities not originating in Meridian, not being affected by these rates. The remainder of the rases were suspended to November 29 pend ing further hearing by the inter state commerce commi ssion.
 Examiners of the commission will hear new pleadings October at Mo- bile. The traffic bureau secretaries are preparing for this hearing.
 The decision in the Meridian case affected only the Southern and Ala bama Great Southern railroads and auxiliaries, they being the only party defendants, thus allowing the other trunk lines to continue the lower Conner rates. The contention is that the decision has created more dis criminations than it removes.
 Territory affected is that within 150 miles of Meridian. Alabama will continue fight to preserve her intra- state rates.
