 Bearing of Rates

Secretaries of the traffic bureaus of Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Mobile and Montgomery and other cites will meet in Birmingham on Thurs day and check over the rates that are to be put in effect by the car riers incident to the decision of the commerce commission Tn the celebrated Meridian case

 Object of the traffic bureau score taries is to go over the rates am ascertain their bearing on the ar ferent sections which they represef, preparatory to filing protests anu asking suspension of the rates ~he.e they may consider themselves ih- iuriously affected.

 During the year from october, 1919, to october. 1920. the police depart ment made POI arrests for viola ticn of the prohibition law. Con victions totaled 1855, according to re- cords of the department
 Strict enforcement of prohibition statutes permits less vigilant atten- ton to many other of Birmingham police regulations, Chief Shirley states.
 "Ours is pre-emin~ntiy mn in- -dustriaI city" declared Mir. Shir- ley. Being so, we were naturally harder hit by the evils that went with the open ssioont and con- verseIy. we are especially blessed by the benefits which come In the social. economic and moral life of any community as the re- xuIt of the curtailment of the liquor traffic.

LOCAL SHIPPERS SEEKING REDUCED. WATER ROUTE RATE
Traffic Bureau Officials Claim That Adjustment of Northbound Rates Had
 Been Assured

The Birmingham shippers are go- ing direct to Frederic l. Thompson. Alabama member of the shippins hoard. with their plea for the same reduced water rates from Birmins~ ham via" Mallory and Warrior barge lines to the eastern seaboard and eastern interior points as were put in effect April Is on shipments from the east to Birming gham.
 The traffic bureau has been in cor respondence for some time with NJ. P. Lewis, traffic manager of the Nal lory Sine. in regard to this matter and finally wired to- know what he intesded doing about it. Mir. Lewis wired pack as follows.
 This matter should be handled by lines with whom shall be very glad to consider the subject when re- ferred to me by them"
 Traffic bureau officials claim that son and Warrior river shippers with Lincoln Green, vice president of the Southern railroad, and Mir. Lewis at the time when the southbound rates were agreed on, Mir. Lewis assured the, river interests and Mir. Thomp- 1 son that northbound rates in lino with the southbound rates would Dc promulgated by the Mallory line at the proper time; when formal request was made for the northbound rates | by shippers.
 | The Mallory line, through MT. Lewis. 1t is claimed are now appear | ing to be dilatory in the matter the traffic bureau will at once take the matter up with Mir. Thompson, with | the expectation that he will assume the same position. with respect to the northbound rates, as he did with respect to the southbound ones.
 The southbound rates are 20 per cent less than the all-rail rates from the eastern ports and 15 per cent less than the all-rall rates from the eastern interior points.
 l If northbound rates the same as | southbound rates were granted, Bur mngham pig iron would have rate to the east of SS, which would be S2 under the all-rail rate of $l0.26. Blr . mingham iron, which formerly did a business of 100000 to 25o,ooo tons a year in the east mas been suuN o"' by the high rail rates.
 Other commodities such as cotton goods from Alabama mills. and other lproducts selling in the east would be affected by having the reduced rates to the east.
 It is believed that Mir Thompson | will take the same interest In the northbound rates as in the south
 bound. and stands in the same posl' ton now with respect to the matter
 as member of the shipping board a' he did when, through his efforts, th' southbound rates were obtained
