MACHINISTS DID
 NOT TAKE PLACES
Come From Cincinnati and Say They Are Union Men
 / Going Back

Eighteen machinists were brought to Birmingham yesterday morning from Cincinnati by the Southern Railway Com- pany to take the places of strikers. These men were met at the train by local ma- chinists, who explained the nature of the strike against the road. As a conse- quence, few of the men began work.
 The party was in charge of William Clark, the new foreman at the local shops. When Cincinnati was left, the machinists numbered twenty, but three did not come nearer than Lexington, Ky. It Is stated that the majority of the men are union men and carry with them union cards. They did not know they were employed to take the place of striking workmen, so they assert.
 The local strikers were notified by wire from Chattanooga that the Cincinnati men were on a train for this place. A delegation was appointed upon receipt of this information, to meet the train and explain the local conditions. This was done, the committee boarding the train at woodlawn When the men were in- formed that a strike was in force, It Is stated, they agreed not to go to work
 It Is said that fifteen other men were being employed to come from Cincinnati but telegrams were sent back asking them not to come. It is not believed by local union men that they will leave
 The party which arrived yesterday will return to Cincinnati this morning. So one of the crowd stated last night

CONGRESSMAN BANKHEAD
 ON THE LIVING ISSUES

T am perfectly confident that the Con- stitutional Convention will do what Is wisest and best for the people of Ala bama. and that the constitution which shall be finally offered for the people, approval will be the best which wise men can devise and agree upon," said Con gressman J. H. Bankhead of the Sixth Alabama district last night.
 "The convention at Montgomery is com posed almost entirely of men who are es- teemed as being amongst the wisest and ablest of our citizens, and I do not be- lieve 1t possible that such men can make any grave mistake; for the interests of all the people are their interests, and the people have elected them to frame the fundamental law which is to control. gov ern. and direct the people for an unknown and unknowable period
 'I trust the convention" said Congress- man Bankhead, "and believe the people who elected the delegates trust them to do that which Is best and most advisable for all!
 Tt may as well be understood that personally I have been unable to read in full the report of the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention; but know the men who constitute the convention, and am glad to say trust them,'' Congress- man Bankhead continued
 My duties as a member of the river and harbors committee of the national House of Representatives have required me to be absent from Alabama for several weeks past. It was in a sense, obligatory that I accompany the committee on it's tour of inspection of Mexican Gulf ports and the ports of the Pacific.

 Theses were read at the meeting by C.. c. Alexander of Blocton and E. l.. Lee Of Montevallo, two young candidates for the ministry. They were accepted at last nights meeting. Dr. J. L. Cooper con ducted the ceremony and Dr. W. T. Swain delivered the sermon.

 Be Postponed Until July 2s. The Gas Question.
ATKINSON IS NOT COMING

A meeting of the Birmingham Railway Light and Pawer Company will be held today at noon. The object of the meet ing will be the authorization of an issue of bonds limited to s6,OOO.ooo.
 The board of directors and officers will not be elected at this meeting. but ac- ton will be postponed until a meeting to be held on July 29. The discussion re- garding the reduction of the price of gas will not be taken up nor will the plans for extension be passed upon.
 Harry M. Atkinson of Atlanta and Cor don Abbott of Boston, will not be pres ent at today's meeting Their absence will cause the postponement of several important matters planned for action at this meeting.
 The authorization of a bond Issue will be for bond issue not exceeding $500 600, but the present issue will be of only s5,000.000. The plan as outlined in the first announcement of the consolidation of the companies will be carried out to the letter.
 The gs price question will remain un- changed for a short time. The first re- duction will come before January. It will place the price at $1.25.
 The delay in this reduction is neces- sary in order that the company may ex- tend it's pipe lines for supply and also make changes in the plant. These changes will tend to lessen the cost of manufacture and when completed will place the company in position to give one dollar gas. Eighteen months will probably be required for the completion of this work.

the following resolution, which was re- ferred to the finance committee:
 Whereas, The work for public i'm provements recently finished and now un- derway, and now authorized to be con- people of sums approximating one million dollars, and cannot be finished within twelve months,
 deems 1t expedient to suspend for an in- definite period further building of streets and sidewalks, excepting such as may be already authorized and excepting such as may be requested by three-fourths of the property that may be effected by such work"

with what has been accomplished in deepening the channel, and firmly re- solved that the work of improvement should go forward.
 ''The tonnage, the sea-going commerce of Mobile, amazed the committee and it pleased them more than I can tell you. The bald facts of the work done and the enormous increase in Bobile's sea-borne commerce were revelation to them, and they resolved that Alabama's only sea- port should not be neglected in the flu ture.
 This delighted me, for during all the years I have tried to serve Alabama in Congress have striven for proper and adequate recognition of Mobile. What have done has been for love of Mobile and my State and I am fully resolved to redouble my efforts. The Mobilians received and entertained the committee royalty.
 And I may tell you Mobile Is the com- ing great port of the Gulf. and that the Rivers and Harbors Committee will do all within It's power to further Mobile 8 interests.
 Asked for his views as to the near fu- ture of the Democratic party in the Unit ed States, Congressman Bankhead declar- ed with fervent emphasis:
 Our party Is just as sure to win the next election as 1905 comes All the ele- ments of the party of the people are get ting together. There cannot be any doubt of the triumphant result. The Democrats will win!"
 Congressman Bankhead arrived in Bir- mingham from Washington last night, and will proceed this morning to Mont gomery, where he will consult with the leaders of the constitutional convention, and, incidentally, will attend to private business, returning to Birmingham to- night, or within a day or two.  chairman; c. c.
