ANOTHER DEFEAT
Puts Birmingham at the Bottom in the
 Basketball Contest.

Nashville, March 17-(Special. blight to six In favor of Nashville tells the tale of tonight's championship basket ball game. Birmingham played hard, but lost, and now takes its place at the bottom of the list, with Nashville first and Chattanooga sec ond. In the first half Dean and Ferguson each made a goal, and Warren two goals from fouls. The half ended six to three in Birmingham's favor. Her men were play ing hard, but entirely without team work. In the second half they held the ball al- most continually under their goal by main strength and awkwardness, but within the last few minutes of the game the men seemed to weaken and Nashville slipped in two goals, putting them one ahead. The last point made was a goal from a foul making the final score to 6.
 For Nashville Meadors made two goals, Sawrie one and Eubanks two goals from fouls.
 The line up of the teams as they played against each other was as follows: Brad ford and Meadors Ferguson and Phillips, Dean and Eubanks, Captain Warren and Sawrie Brown and Riddle.
 Birmingham had number of enthusias- tic rooters present, and were also given generous treatment by the crowd.

REFUSED TO SIGN -.
 THE AGREEMENT
Representatives of Miners With-
 drew from Conference.
SAY THEY WERE JUSTIFIED
Question of Wages At Mines of the Pearson Coal Company Was Be- ing Arbitrated Advance of
 Half Cent Ton Granted.

The dissatisfaction among the miners employed by the Pearson Coal company, at Warrior, still remains unsettled. notwith- standing the fact that the matter was re- ferred to arbitration for settlement.
 The representatives of the miners yester- day refused to sign an agreement which had been req q sd by the other arbitrators, and withdrew from the meeting, leaving the matter practically unchanged.
 The company operates mines at Warrior and employs about one hundred miners, whose grievance is over the wage question. When the advance of 27s cents per ton was granted by the Tennessee and Sloss com panies, the Pearson miners asked for an advance of 10 cents, claiming that this amount was cut from their wages when the first cut of 2k cents made by the oth- CT companies. The officers of the company refused to grant the 10 cents advance, but voluntarily granted the 21a cents which was made effective on March l.
 The contention of the men is that when Pratt was getting 45 cents they were get ting 70 cents, on account of the nature of the coal, which at the Warrior mines Is more difficult to get out. When the Pratt scale was cut to 42k cents, they claim that 10 cents was taken off their wages, and when the second cut came another 10 cents was taken off making their scale 50 cents.
 An appeal was made to the company, and it was agreed that the matter should be settled by arbitration, each side to name two men, the four to select a fifth. This was done, the miners naming John Leckie and John Reel and the company Messrs. Turner and Terrell. It was agreed to meet in this city on Thursday, and Judge A. A. Coleman was selected as the fifth man. The arbitrators met in the office of Justice W. M. Stanley, and after remaining in ses- sion all day adjourned to meet in the of- fee of S. c. Davidson. in Twenty-frst street, yesterday.
 Three of the arbitrators finally agreed to an advance of one-haf cent, making an ad vance of 3 cents per ton, with sliding scale based on the price of iron, as governs at the other mines.
 Messrs. Leckie and Reel refused to sign the agreement, and after making a further appeal withdrew from the conference.
 The Warrior miners are not affiliated with the district United Mine Workers of Amer ica, but instead are affiliated with the Knights of Labor which, through it's of ficers, is trying to bring about an amicable adjustment.
 The result of the arbitration will be re- ported to the miners, who, 1t is said, will refuse to be bound by the agreement.

CONVENTION
 PRIMARIES TODAY
Ticket in Opposition to Gun
 ningham at Pratt.
GOSSIP ABOUT OTHER BEATS
I W ich hnston Forces Will Try to Defeat Him Saloons Kept Open All Day Regardless of
 Primary Law.

The final arrangements for carrying out the primary election for nomination of con- stitutional convention delegates were all finished yesterday, and everything is ready for the voting to commence today. Very little active eanvassing has been done, and the candidates are relying on the deliberate convictions of the voters.
 The big ugly rumor which has been afioat for the past few days in regard to the move to defeat Cunningham has gained consider able credence. This supposed move on the part of the Johnston forces was strongly manifested at Pratt City yesterday.
 The report of an opposition ticket was circulated around the town all day, and such a ticket will undoubtedly be run. The names of the local men behind this move ment cannot be definitely ascerta ned, but some one is at work and it will not be surprise if an anti-Cunningham ticket is put out in several of the beats throughout the county.
 such d Move on Foot
 A prominent politician said yesterday that he had no doubt that such q move was in contemplat. on by the Johnston crowd, but that he did not think they would attempt 1t in Jefferson county. Tt Is my opinion, he said, that Johnston will let this county alone and play the state against us; any way, he is going to defeat Cunningham if it is in his power
 This IS, however, entirely speculative, with the exception of the move at Pratt City, which can be termed a certainty.
 The saioons " ere Open
 All the saloons were open to the public yesterday, regardless of the passage of the primary election bill, which requires them to suspend business on the day preced ng the electon well as the day which 1t is held. This action caused considerable comment, as it was thought the saloons would be closed under this act It seems that the time when this law goes into ef feet Is very indefinite, as no such provision Is made in the bill. Being uncertain about the matter, the saloon keepers decided to keep open doors.
 It is probable that no legal action will be taken against them, and the question will go unsettled. Some hold that law, where specific provision to the contrary is em- bodied in the bill, goes into effect immedi- ately on it's passage, while others hold that the law goes into effect after authorized publication. With the subject in this un- settled state the whisky men have decided not to let the topper suffer. and leave the le- gal complication to the lawyers.
