MUST SEND IN THEIR
 CREDENTIALS PROMPTLY.

Attention is calleu to the fact that all unions wishing to affiliate with the Ala bama Federation of Labor and be repre- sented at the convention Tn Selma April 2S must have the duplicate credentials of the delegate or delegates In the hands of the Secretary-Treasurer D. U. Will Hams. on or before April l. This leaves very little time to work on The address of the Secretary Treasurer is 11Sl Third avenue, Birmingham.
 A large number of the unions, many of which have been affiliated with the State organization since It's inception two years ago, have already elected delegates and sent in their credentials. and several un- ions that have not before affiliated with the Federation. some of which have been organized since the convention In April of last year, have elected delegates. J. H. Bean second vice-presdent of the Federation and district organizer of the American Federation Of Labor at Selma, wrote B. W. Brumiey, press agent of the State body that he was working hard on the arrangements for the entertain ment of the delegates to the convention and would be ready to announce the com plete programme in a few days. When Selma invited the convention to that city at the Birmingham convention last year a royal time was promised, and Vice President Bean says the promise will be more than kept It will be treat to some of the delegates to be entertained while in attendance on a labor conven- tion, as 1t Is a precedent that has not been set in Birmingham, hence the meet ing of the important State conventions away from Birmingham this year, the miners at Bessemer and the State body at Selma.
