CITY MAY LEASE
 SWIMMING P00L

Lease of the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company swimming: pool by the city will be discussed with J. S. Pevear, general manager for the receiver of the cor.pany, by members Sf the. city commission as soon as Mr. PIrvear returns from Montgomery. He was expected to return last night.
 The pool will be closed July s1, for the season by the company, as an economic measure, it is thought The pool is ideally located for a down. town natatorium. being situated at First avenue. south, and Twentieth street. Two pools, each 50 by 100 feet are available, although only one is being used now. This is larger than the Ensley pool, where each unit is only 50 by 100 feet
 This suggestion was made yester- day by Dr. Byron Dozier, who talked for several minutes about the matter with the city commission. Dr De- zier pointed out that admission fees to be charged would pay operating and overhead expenses.
 Expense of putting the pool in working order would be slight, Dr. Dozier stated Members of the com mission favor the plan. Financial details constitute the main problem.

COAL COMPAN|ES . SEEK INJUNCTION
 IN FEDERAL COURT
Court Petitioned to Prevent The Going Into Effect of Decision in Meridian
 Rate Case
By R. E JOHNSTON

The expected occurred when the Montevallo Coal company and others filed action in the federal court through petition for injunction and interlocutory order to prevent the going in effect on August 1 of the decision of the interstate commerce commission in the Meridian rate case.
 Hearing was set for July 30 at 10 o'clock. It Is held probable that Judge W. ]. Grubb will have Judge R. w. Walker and Judge W. l. Sib- ley of Atlanta to sit with him on ac. count of the importance of the case.
 The plaintiffs are the Montevallo Mining company, Hills Creek Mining company, Southern Coal and Coke company, and Daniels Creek Coal company.
 Defendants are the United States of America, the interstate commerce commission and the Southern, Ala bama, Great Southern and Mobile and Ohio railroads.
 Decision of the interstate com merce commission in this ease made . ruling that the roads named, which were defendants in the Meridian rate case, should not charge more from points In Alabama 200 miles from Me- ridian to points in that territory than are charged from Meridian to points In same territory. Acting on this decision the defendant roads raised the Alabama intrastate rates d.. 4Ar from Meridian to the Meridian rate level.
 Peculiar Results
 Peculiar results attended. Among others is that set up in the case filed by the Montevallo and other com panies before Judge Grubb yesterday. The new rate on coal from the Monte vallo and other mines over defendant company roads in the territory named, which was sT1s cents to Bir- mingham, will be s1.S2. The mines that are located on the defendant roads and not on others will have no redress. Mines located on other roads as well as the defendant roads will be able to ship over the other roads at the old rates. while the new rates would apply if shipment is made over the defendant roads lines.
 Coal mines a half mile outside the 200-mile territory will ship at the old rates over the roads named in the suits as well as the other roads, be- cause the ruling affects only the 20G- mile territory.
 On all commodities and all roads, North Birmingham can ship on the old rates, while Birmingham, which is inside the territory, must ship at the new high rates if using the de- fendant roads.
 Tuscaloosa Is affected by the rul- ing, but Northport, which is just across the river. can ship over all the roads at the old rates.
 Anniston and Gadsden are not af- fected. Mines in Walker county are not affected and can continue to ship

at the old rates, no matter which road they use.
 Unique Feature

An anomaly of the decision Is that under it rates on coal and ore from Meridian do not exist because no ore and coal ever originated at Meridian. Hence the higher rates on ore anc coal created by the decision have no bearing in the way of that rate dis crimination which was the basis Of the Meridian suit
 In addition to the action taken by the Montevallo group of coal mines the attorney general of Alabama has been authorized by the governor to begin action in the name of the state similar to that undertaken by the coal companies in their own behalf
 All Rates Endangered.
 The public service. commission is interested in the matter because the decision lays a predicate for the de- molition of the entire intrastate rate fabric. The railroads not affected by the decision in the Meridian rate case might very we'll 1t Is held. take advantage of it just the same and raise rates to a level of those de- cIared in this decision and affecting certain roads. From that step on to raising all intrastate rates through out Alabama is regarded by traffic bureaus and shippers as the final out come unless the matter is stopped where it is now.
 The defendant railroads themselves asked for a rehearing of the ease, but the interstate commerce com mission declined to grant one.
 Unless injunction issues, the all legged hodgepodges of rate discrepan- cies will go in effect August l.
