 ARE WORKED OUT
Traffic Bureau Has Data For Hearing Before Inter- state Commerce
 Commission

Principal activities of the Birming- ham traffic bureau in May were di- rected to lining up a system of class rates in the southeast. to be sub mitted to the interstate commerce commission for adoption as the uni form base, which the commission is seeking to establish in the south.
 In conjunction with other south ern traffic managers and especially those of Alabama. the local bureau has completed a schedule of class rates, which it will propose. Some of these follow:
 Cairo to rmingham-present rate s1.53; proposed by the carriers st.45; proposed by the traffic managers. s1.20.
 St. Louis to Birmingham = present rate, S2.Oo; proposed by the carriers, s1.f5i proposed by the traffic mana gers. $1.53.

 Memphis to BirminSham-pres rate, s1.S6; proposed by carriers, sl.25; proposed by traffic managers. $1.12.

 "A fter erft f,tI 4Inr faV to changed conditions in rate making principles, which have governed the action of the carriers and the com mission for some time. it Is felt that your association, without sacri- fioing any of Birminghams recent advantages, can consistently support scale of class rates based on mlle- age.
 "A scale of class rates based on mileage will give to each community large and small, its advantages and 1t IS system of rate traffic which we believe will meet the approval of the interstate commerce commission and satisfy the commercial necessities and insistent demands of shippers and the public in general for uniform rate structure"

POLICE CONVENTION

 HAVElOCAL DELEGATE

Commissioner W. B. Cloe and Po- lice Chief Fred McDuff will not at- tend the annual meeting of police chiefs at San Francisco. June 3 and 10.
 This became known yesterday when Commissioner Cloe announced that as the Birmingham police de- pertinent was already rated one of the best in the country, 1t would be waste of city money for the chief and himself to make the trip.
 We have received many compli- ments from all over the United States concerning the wonderful rec ord made by our department and we believe that we would not gain great deal by taking the long trip to the Pacific coast.
 We have letters froN police de- partments in New York, Chicago and Cincinnati, besides many small CT cities complimenting us on our activity and efficiency and we are willing to wait another year before going to a convention and telling them how we do it."

KENNAMER SAYS MINE WAGE NOT
 INTERPOLATION
Makes Statement Showing Pay Under Garfield Scale
 and Under the Alleged Present Pay

J R. Kennamer, president of the Alabama division of the United Mine Workers of America. contested that wages paid miners in Alabama are out of joint with the Hoover fair price agreement recently entered in- to with the operators.
 He claims that, while the Hoover scale is per cent under the Gar field scale. wages paid miners are 42.69 per cent under the Garfield scale.
 Coal operators, on the other hand, claim that they are not getting the Hoover scale, much less the Garfield scale, but that an average price for steam coal being sold on Pratt seam base now is from s1s0 to S2.00, some sales at as low as s1.65 having been recently made.
 Several advances in mine wages have been recently volunteered by operators, the Tennessee company putting i'll one of 10 per cent June Is, and the Woodward company one effective July l.
 Mir. kennamer makes the follow ing statement as president of the Alabama local:
 kennamer's Statement
 I note a statement in the Birming ham papers of June 1 in regard to the scale for the selling price of Alabama coal, as follows:
 "Alabama's coal scale was fixed at 25c per ton below the. final Garfield scale by decision of Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce. an- nounced following conference with A I l.o f during which theN operators agreed to this scale as being fair. Under the Gar field scale the price for the bulk of n-of mine coal varied from S2.45 to s2.S5, which by Secretary Hooyers fair price decision Is now fixed at $2.20 and $2.60"
 Secretary Hoover says, Tn the Alabama field the costs of coal pro- duction have been reduced since the final Garfield scales were determfn- ed. After having consulted the Ala bama operators and being assured of their cooperation, I have concluded that a maximum fair price for spot coal from the district should be 25c per ton below the final Garfield scale"
 Evidently the Alabama coal opera tors in conference with Secretary Hoover were not careful to inform him as to the extent of their redue- tions in the scale of miners wages in Alabama.
 The reductions in the miners wages since the above selling prices were in effect up to the present time are shown by the following table;
 Tonnage rate at the time Of the Garfield selling price, $1.os, based on the Pratt seam.
 Now reduced to CSC.
