BESSEMER CLERKS
 HOLD BIG MEETING
TROUBLES WITH MERCHANTS NOT YET SETTLED, AND THE OUT. COME IS WATCHED WITH INTER. EsT-oFFIclALs PRESENT.

Bessemer, December u.-(SpecaL)-Th special called meeting of the Clerks Pro- tective association was the most largely attended meeting in the history of the organization in this city. In addition to the members of the local there was a large number of representatives from the other unions of the city present. Many eloquent speeches were made.
 The principal speaker of the evening was George B. Squires of Washington, second vice-president of the Retail Clerks Protective association. He was followed by State Organizer Cole of the Fedora tion league of Birmingham; Ed A. Vetch A. B. Johnson, R. P. Howard and others
 The direct cause of this meeting tonight was the failure of the clerks and mer- chants to reach an agreement in regard to the signing of next years contract The clerks are contending for shorter hours and so far the merchants have re- fused to accede to their demands. Only one of the merchants has signed the new contract. The old contract expires next Wednesday.
 The controversy is being watched with considerable interest by all Bessemerites It is believed that all the other labor or ganizations are in sympathy with the clerks. MT. Squres, 1t is understood, will remain in Bessemer tomorrow and pos sibly part of next week and endeavor to harmonize the differences between the merchants and clerks.

address delivered today before King Vic

Europe. were likely to render necessary
a union OF the different European coun-
tries, which may completely change the
geographical situation to the universal
advantage of Europe.

and predicted the twentieth century Will
perhaps see the solution OF many prob
lens.

races" Senator Villari continued, drought
about the war OF secession in the United

which hate each other now perhaps more
