ANOTHER PROTEST
IS FILED AGAINST
INCREASED RATES

About Proposed Grain
Rate of Frisco

The Traffic association has re-
ceived another notice of proposed In
crease in freight rates and has taken
the usual course of filing protest
with the interstate commerce COM
mission. This time it was done by
wire on account of the short notice
given.
The Frisco has published a sup
Elementary tariff, which proposes to
increase the rate on grain and grain
products from Omaha and Kansas
City to Birmingham. Present rate
from Omaha is 371a cents and from
carrier proposes to raise the rates
10 cents, effective May 2.
The Traffic association contends
that it would be unfair and discrimi-
mating to publish higher rates to Bir-
mingham on these products than ex-
list to Meridian and Nfcksburg. which
are now the same as Birmingham's s.
The carrier does not propose to raise
the rates to Meridian and Vicksburg.
The association contends that the
haul to Birmingham is about the
same. distance as to Vicksburg and
Meridian, and that the Birmingham
haul via the Frisco is direct one,
the others involving two-line hs I'LL
age.
The Traffic association now has
der fire, the one just previous to the
last one being proposal to raiJe
rates on blended benzol and gasoline
to Georgia points. In the latter case
the advance proposed would cost the
oil blender a third of cent a gallon,
which, it is alleged would be a Sc
rious inroad on profits.
