THE AGE-HERALD

Members of the Alabama public
service commission Saturday were
served with a temporary Injunction
preventing them from requiring the
Alabama Power company to dis
continue the demand charge against
members of the Alabama Ice Manu-
lecturers association during months
when little tee is used.
The temporary injunction was
granted by Judge Henry d. Clay
ton of the federal court, and Presi-
lent A. G. Patterson and H. F. Lee
and Frank P. Morgan, associate
commissioners. were commanded to
appear in the federal court here
April q to show why the inju action
should not be made final. The petit
ton for the restoring order was is
sued atFthe request of Steiner, Crum

Thompson & Turner of Birmingham.
In an order Issued January IS, II. g

cd che Alabama Power company to
serve ice manufacturers during the
dull months without the imposition
Of demand charge. The order was
issued following an investigation

shown that seasonal rates were
granted to operators of cotton gins
and other plants.
Members of the commission had
not been served with a copy of the
petition late Saturday afternoon, but
they were informed that the Ala
bama Power company contends that
the enforcement of the order will de-
prive the company of a material
source of revenue and taht the de-
mand charge is fair. since the COM
paay is forced to make the power
available at all times. even though
it is not used by the ice manufac-
turers.
This is the first case carried to the
federal court by the Alabama Power
company since it's attorneys went to
