 Against Increase In Rates

Examiner Cassidy of the interstate commerce commission will hear the case of rates on blended benzol from Birmingham to Atlanta and Macon, in Atlanta on Monday. Charles r.. Jones. secretary of the Birmingham Traffic association, will conduct the case for the shippers, the Wofford Oil company being especially interested.
 The carriers propose to increase the rate to Atlanta to an extent that would mean an additional tax of third of a cent on blended gasoline and benzol shipped from Birmingham. An extensive business has been built up ir Georgia in this commodity, and the traffic association will put up stout fight against the increase.
