COTTON MEN FIGHT
 FOR CONCENTRATION
Jones To Attend Hearing Thursday Before Public Service Commission

C. F. Jones, secretary of the Bir mingham Traffic association, left Wednesday afternoon for Montgom- cry. where Thursday he will attend the hearing on concentration of cotton to be held by the public serv- ice commission. Producers and shippers of cotton and warehouse men ask for through rates on Ala bama grown cotton when destined for textile mills in the state, They contend that q grave discrimination in favor of cotton moving to the Carolnas and eastern mills is oper- ative by reason of right to concen- trate cotton destined for these mills being allowed such shipments while it Is not allowed on cotton destined to Alabama mills. Demand for the concentration rate comes from all over the state and has backing of farm organizations and traffic bureaus.
 Carriers have declined to accept the schedule on clay products in and out of southern points proposed by the shippers and will publish the rates which they propose, The traf- fife association will ask for suspen- sion and fight the rates before the interstate commerce commission.
