CITY COUNCIL SETTLES THE
 MEAT PROBLEM Passes Ordinance With an Amendment AboutSIaugh-
 tering of Calves GAN BE KILLED ANYWHERE Meat Sold In Police Limits Does Not Have To Be Brought In
 ahs City fer Kill
 ing.
CAN BE KILLED ANYWHERE

The City Council adopted the meat in spection ordinance yesterday afternoon with an amendment proposed by the butchers. The amendment provides that calves can be slaughtered anywhere, not having to be brought to the regular abat- toirs. It also provides that meat sold out of the city limits but within the police limits does not have to be slaughtered In the city.
 Calves slaughtered for veal are to be in- spected at the city market, but can be killed outside of the slaughter-houses designated by the city for other meats. They can be killed between the ages of four weeks and four months, and the head must accompany the body to the market to aid the inspectors in their work.
 There were present at the meeting the Mayor, Aldermen Greener, Linnhan, Kerr, Copeland (D. R.), Gum. Altman, Gra- ham, Jones and Stockmar.
 Alderman Jones presented the amend ment of the butchers, explaining the dif- ference between 1t and the one framed by the judiciary committee. There was a clause in 1t allowing butchers to kill and sell meat in the three-mie police limit without going to the regular abattolrs. Alderman Jones said that it did not seem right to force man to come into the city to kill meat that he would take outside to sell
 In regard to the calf provision, Attor- torney Bethea. representing the butchers, was asked how the city would be pro- tected as to tEe age and condition of the animals. He said that all animals would be Inspected with the skin on at the market house.
 Inspector Fleming said 1t was impos- sibie to tell the age of calf unless the head was left on. It would be impossible in any event to tell whether the animal was killed or died a natural death.
 It was then decided to amend the amendment requiring that the head be left on, and that calves could not be killed under four weeks' old
 Chairman Jones of the city hall com mittee asked permission to change the specifications of the building so that brick can be used for the paving in that part of the structure to be occupied by the fire department instead of artificial stone Granted.
 He asked permission to repair fire en- zine to be held in reserve, and offered a resolution to the effect that engines could not be used in the future for pumping out cellars, etc, which was adopted.

REpucTloM OF LOCAL RATES Doss Not Affect Birmingham District
 Proper.

The announcement of the reduction in coal rates by the Frisco System and Southern Railway, made in yesterdays s Age-Herald, was receiyed here with en- thusiasm. While ths reductions are not applicable from Birmingham, they are effective from nearby mines, some of which are owned by Birmingham com panies.
 The rate of 6 cents Is applicable on shipments from Carbon Hill and Galla- way mines to Memphis; while the rate of 75 cents is in force from Horse Creek and Palos mines. The cut was made by the Frisco System and promptly met by the Southern. The latter makes it's rate on coal from all North Alabama mines
 When asked regarding the effect of the cut both officials of the Frisco and the Southern stated that shipments would be stimulated to an extent, but that the rate had been met from Kentucky mines The stimulation will continue for only a short time. or until an agreement could be reached by the two lines The ship pers realize that the reductions will not continue and are therefore rushing their orders.
 The beginning of the reduction occur- red several weeks ago when the first cut of 10 cents was made by the Frisco hne. The Southern retaliated at the time with cut. The Frisco again made 3 reduction and both roads continued the cutting until the present rate was ar- nounced.

LABOR AND ARBITRATION.
Industrial Commission Makes Public lie

Washington, Oct. 21.-The industrial
commission today made public Its re-
port or labor disputes and arbitration.
1t Is a comprehensive document, re-
viewing the testimony that appeared
before the commission on the subject
and taking up in detail the evidence
on collective bargaining, conCiiiatiolG
and arbitration, and the laws and court
decisions governing labor combina-
tons. Local systems of collective bar
gaining II agreement between en-
ployes, II is stated, ave been most
highly developed in the building trades,
brewery, boot and shoe. baking, wood
working and metal working trades.
some branches OF the clothing trade
and in the transportation business; I'm
other words, where both employers and
employees are strongest organized. BY
far the larger number Of written agree
ments prescribing conditions OF labor
are made between organizations OF
working men, OF one side, and OF en-
ployers acting individually on the
other. There Is a growing movement
in favor Of collective bargaining, con-
Citation and arbitration as between or
ganizations Of employers ana en-
ployees, covering industries throughout
ten country CT throughout large Sec
tions where conditions Of business gen.
orally are similar.

establishing state and local machinery
for arbitration in the bituminous coal
industry, and where there are now, at
least in most mining districts, no eff
festive method Of disposing Of minor
disputes which arise from time to time.
In this trade there is especially no per-
manent joint committee for the entire
central competitive field to which diff
f%erenc arising in connection with in
terstate agreements may be ultimately
referred.
Systems of arbitration as to specific
disputes have been, however, estab-
lished in q formal manner, and on a
national scale in the stove molding,
general foundry, machinists (now not
in existence) and printing trades.
Among these the printing trade is the
only one which provides for reference
of disputes to an outside person where
the direct representatives of the two
sides fail to agree.
The report praises state boards of
arbitration for doing much toward
furtherinc industrial peace.
Legislation establishing compulsory
arbitration has as yet been enacted
only in the Australian colonies, New
Zealand and West Australia, where tho
system is very far reaching. Repre-
sentatives of employers and working
men who testified before the commits
sion almost uniformly have oppose
compulsory arbitration. Several state
boards of arbitration In the United
States also have expressed their Cp!n-
ion against compulsory arbitration rs

boards nave specifically opposed 1t In
