INTERSTATE RATES
SHOW INCREASE
New Schedule to Show Ten
Per Cent Increase, States
Secretary

Impression of Charles E. Jones,
secretary of the Birmingham Traffic
bureau, is that new schedule of intra-
state rates filed by carriers with the
Alabama Public Service commission
yesterday will, on the whole. show
an increase of about 10 per cent.
The general proposal of the car
riers, he says. is to cancel the intral
state classification and to apply the
consolidated classification rating,
which reflects interstate ratings. 1t
is proposed, he says, to cancel a num-
Der sof commodity rates and apply
class rates, and this, in his opinion,
means more increases than decreases.
Reductions in short hauls seem to be
more than made up for by increases
in long hauls.
Carriers will present their case De-
cember IL. and it is believed they
will require three weeks for pre-
sentation. Following that the ship
pers and traffic bureau managers
will be allowed as much time for
their side of the case.
There is no proposal for change in
rates on coal and coke in the new
rates. says Mr.. Jones, and there is
nothing in the proposal with regard
to raky material assemblage rates.

Birmingham Is growing so rap

Just few years ago man
came to Birmingham to open a
business and those, who thought
they knew, warned him that he
was going to graveyard. 1t
was before America went into the
war, and business conditions were
unsettled.
But Duff Green, general man
ager of the N. o. Nelson Manu-
featuring company. the Birming-
ham branch of the st. Louis con-
Germ, had faith in his goods and
in his new home town and went
to work with energy to build up
a business which would be worth
while. Here Is his story:

found two vacant store rooms
Just in the rear of the Moore

rented both of them for $500 per
month. 1t was among the last
of his private business ventures,
for in three months he turned
over the enterprise to the n. o.

was begun In a modest way.
There were only three of us on
