again join France and Belgium in a joint note seeking to have Germany abandon passive resistance.
 The British government never acquiesced in the military occupation of the Ruhr. The German contention is that even if Berlin, as France de- sires, rescinded its orders for pas sive resistance, the Ruhr workers in the occupied region would continue their resistance. The idea is that amnesty in the Ruhr might lead to abandonment of resistance. but the difficulty is that Premier Poincare, by dropping his military measures, would be admitting failure of the occupation to achieve the desired re- suits.
 If this difficulty could be sur mounted 1t is thought it might be easier to reach an allied conference, including Germany

COMMODITY RATES
 AFFECTING SOUTH. SCHE EDULED JULY 1.
Traffic Bureau Making Effort To Suspend Tariffs For
 Revision

Traffic bureaus have received schedules of the new rates of com modlties to and from the south slated to go in effect July i and members have been advised of the new rates and instructed to apply for partic- ulars before making shipping ar engagements for deliveries after July l.
 Principal articles affected are iron and steel products, grain and grain products. furniture, agricultural inn plements. wagons and canned goods. The new rates are those ordered to conform to the fourth section of the transportation act relating to the long and short haul.
 Under the new rate schedules rates from the northern producing points to inland points like Birmingham are lowered, while the water-borne rates to port cities like New Orleans, Mo bile, Pensacola and Memphis are raised
 Under the new schedule Birming ham will get steel products from Pittsburg at a reduction of S2.20 ton, while rates to Mobile, Pensa- cola and New Orleans, which are now lower than Birmingham, will be higher.
 To Ask Suspension.
 In letter to members the Bir- mingham Traffic bureau states that a concerted effort is being made by southern traffic associations to have the rates suspended for revision. It is, however, understood that in case revision is allowed each community will be supposed to act on it's own score in naming what it approves and what it does not.
 Inland cities, will. it is presumed, accept the southbound rates. which are favorable to them except that they may ask for still lower rates. Port cities will probably ask that their rates be not raised as high as the schedule calls for
 The outbound rates promise great est resistance because less than car load rates are done away with and the carload rates have been in creased.
 Already several shippers of iron products made in Birmingham have entered objection to the outbound rates and some, it is understood, will file special complaints.
 Rates in the new outbound sched- ules are confined to shipments to Mississippi valley points. Nashville, West Tennessee, Ohio river crossings and intermediate Kentucky points No new rates have been published to destinations in southeastern and Car olina territories. but such are ex- pected.
 Interest Grows.
 Interest in the new rate schedules Is reported as growing since it has begun to be realized that these sweeping changes are about to go in effect unless the interstate com merce commission suspends them for further hearing.
 The interstate commerce commits sion ordered revision of commodity rates to and from the southeast to conform to the long and short haul clause of the transportation act. The shippers will not, it is under stood. make any fight on applica tion of the principle, but each com munity will endeavor to see that it gets fair treatment under applica- tion of that principle.
 Birmingham jobbers will benefit materially from the reduction in southbound rates, especially those handling steel and iron tproducts such as nails and wire.

Publication of the delinquent tax list by the city of Bessener is to be made this year for the first time if several years. The lists are be- ing prepared a this time, and the cly attorney is drawing up a bill to be presented at this session of the collection of taxes in this manner.
 s1t is stated that there are a large nbmber of taxpayers whG have been behind with their city taxes for some time and in the past the city has re- trained from advertising the prop erty for sale. The state and coun- tx has consistently followed the methods of advertising delinquent taNes for the past several years and tie city will follow their leads as Hast resort to have the payments mAde.
 srhe delinquent list of the city is much larger than that Of the coun- ty and state, because delinquents have been allowed to carry their accounts over from year to year. The publication of the tax list will em- power the city to sell the property for taxes and in this way force pay ment.
 Publication of the delinquent list will add materially to the cost of collecting, as the fees in many cases will total a considerable amount Be- fare the list is published the prop city owners will be. notified through the chancery court, and given chance to pay up.
