Not Yet in Force.

The lower insurance rate for this city, which was expected to go into operation this day, has not yet been put in force. This Is because of the delay in installing the additional fire fighting equipment which the city was required to put in In order to secure the benefit of the reduction. Mayor Drennen stated today that the new apparatus would not be installed for f, ,fteen days or more yet. This is oD account of the inability of the manu- lecturers to fill the order within the time required.

Birmingham. July l.--tspecial.3-- Burgess Aitkle. formerly cashier of the Shelby County Bank kt Montevallo, which suspended some weeks ago, was arrested lsere this afternoon on a war rant changing him with .embezzlement Of $l0.00N from the fSank. It appears that Deputy UniteI States Marshal Nick Vaughan had. served writ of ne exit upon Little at Blocton and Lit tie accompanied that officer to this city in order to make bond for his ap- pearance in thfs bankruptcy hearing of the bank on July 10th. Little gave bond in this case in the sum of $25O. A little later he learned that Sheriff Rur- gin had g warrant for his arrest in the charge of tembezzlement and he pro, ceeded aS once to the Sheriffs office and surEsndere6i. He was then fornal- iy place under arrest. Mir. Little was accon panied by his attorney. former AttoI ney General w. C. Fitts. When aske a for "a statement MT Little said T lave nothing to say except that am here of my own yolition." Inquiry at the Sheriff's office failed to reveal the identity of the person wbo swore oiat the warrant against MT. Little and tGe officials were very uncommunica- ave on the subject. It is believed that the warrant was sworn out by ioss of the .depositors in the defunct bank and was sent here for service either eronl Bibb or Shelby County. 1t is intimated that the bankruptcy hearing which ac- CUTS on the 10th may be followed by sone interesting developments in the case. Later Little gave bond and was released.

Miners, Mass Meeting.

Mass meetings were held at the va- riaas mining camps today to vote on the proposition to renew last years s wage scale with the provision added that there shall be arbitration in in stances where new conditions nave arisen. The miners at Pratt Mines, where is located the largest local min- CTS union in the world, voted to sign the scale on these terms. lBrookside and Pattersonss mines also approved the agreement. So far as has been heard none of the mines have rejected 1t and no doubt is felt that when the miners State Convention reassemoies tomorrow the delegates will come prac- ideally as body instructed to sign up the scale as agreed upon Saturday night aby the miners convention and the op- orators. It Is probable that there will be little or no work at the mines thus week on account of the usual Fourth of July holidays, but by next week ev- cry mine which has heretofore been in operation will be at work with It's usual force. Much specification IS felt throughout the district over favorable outcome of the wage adjustment
 The rolling mills which have just signed up with the Amalganlated As sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work 7ers, will go into full operation again next Monday. Like the miners. the rolling mill workers are taking it easy this week.

SWlNT0N HAS HOPE
VENEER ABLE ECONOMIST IS A CHAM
PION OF TRADE UNIONIsM.
As the Trade Unions Gain Power, He
Says That They Gain Success-A
Single WOrkingman Doesn't Count
For Much in These Days-It Is
Power That Now Rules the World
and Those in It,

John Swinton, in an article which ap-
=peared in the July issue'eof the Granite
Cutters Journal, writes as follows:
AS the trade unions gain power, they
gain success. AS trade unionism grows
in strength, it becomes the better able
to control It's own business.
One may argue in behalf of his rights
till doomsday without getting them, if
he is powerless. He may give a hund-
red reasons in their behalf; he may
plead for them, and tell how badly he
wants them; he may turn sentimental
when he begs for them as he groans
over his wrongs; he may even write
soft and sweet pieces of poetry about
them-but If he has not the
strength needed to stand up for them,
he is only wasting his time.
1t is through the manifestation of
power that trade unionism has gained
advantages in the past; and there is no
other way by which it can make pro-
gress hereafter.
1t may be pity that it is so, but it
as true all the same. Rights ought to
be procured by reason. If it can be
shown that the working day is too lone
for man, there is good reason for
shortening 1t. If it be shown that the
workers pay is too low for the proper
support of himself and family, there
Is the best of reasons why his wages
should be raised. If we lived under the
reign of reason, there would be nc

trouble about rights; but we don't live

under it.
It is power that rules the world.
1t is on this account that trade un-
ions are a necessity. It is because of
this that the men Of all the industries
should organize in such a way as to
build up visible power
1t does no mean that their demands
should be unfair, or that they should
be guilty of any injustice, or that they
should resort to violence, or that they
should indulge in bulldozing. It means
nothing Of the kind:
A single workman does no count for
much when he stands before those pro-
digious forces that have come into ex-
istance In our tim as.sz Elaa. hungry sins
ner who runs up against trust con-
trolling untold millions of capital is as
foolish and has as much chance of sue
cess as the man who butted a stone
wall with his head, or as the ancient
Ajax who defied the lightning.
But when ten thousand or hundred
thousand men stand up as one man in
solid, resolute union, a power that is not
to be trifled with comes in sight. The
other powers are likely to have some
respect for it; they may consult with
it; they may seek it's good will; they
may think twice before defying it.
Trade unionisn is the new agency
that makes every man who is attached
to it a sharer in the strength Of a great
power.
It would be very easy for Germany
to conquer France if every Frenchman
were to make war ION his own hook. !"
1t is because both France and. Germany
are gigantic unions that they respect
each others power.
The workman who says, LET every
man look out for himself" will make a
poor show when he faces towering
| mass of united capital, with a. stone
| wall around it.
Power is the thing. It is the thing
! that must be gained by unionism. The
organization of the working people is
| the guarantee Of their power.
