NEED BETTER UNDERSTANDINGS.

Mr.. James r. Garfield, chief of the
bureau of corporations of the Depart
ment of Commerce, in an address a
few days ago urged that the need of
the day is an interchange OF informa-
ton between the capitalist and labor
er. that each might understand the
other. He said it is impossible to
think of industry without thinking of
labor and capital, and We are forced -
say that what Is good for one is good
for the other, so losely are they con
nected. I'VE cannot have conditions
that are good for capital and harmful
to labor. Everyone has the right to
enjoy life, but he must not allow that
right to conflict with the right of an
other to enjoy life. We have a right
to study. TO worship as We please, but
we must grant others the same right.
So in industry. We have the right ID
labor, but we must recognize the right
of all others. So with the corpora
tons; they have the right to invest.
but they have the obligation to do SO
only so far as not to injure those en-
gagged thereby"
Mr.. Garfield, who was addressing
workingmen, said that labor unions
must not use tyrannical power, but
rather elevate men and elevate the
standard of living. To do this they
must set their qualifications high,
making these integrity. honesty, man
hood. Corporations are not to deal
with their men in ignorance of their
condition, or their standard OF living,
OF what a nan can do. Of what good
work really is. They can get this in
formation only by getting together.
Mr.. Garfield declared that the man
who say that there is nothing to ar
bitrate is not a good citizen; he is
not a good manager. mo human
mind can comprehend all and and no
human being is always right In re-
gard to the bureau of which he is
chief, Mr.. Garfield expressed the opin-
ion that it will go a long ways toward
bringing out facts which will help Ia
Dor and capital TO understand condi'
lions better. A most valuable and i'm
portant service will be done II 1t shall
accomplish this, for ii is unquestioH'
able that a long stride would be taken
toward the attainment of industrial
peace If a way were found TO enable
capital and labor to each understand
better the condition of the other. The
difficulty now is TO bring them to
gether in a true spirit of Cancellation
and with an earnest and honest desire
to be fair and just one to the other
But we think there is a strong ten
dency in this direction and 1t SHOULD
have all possible encouragement.

BOARD OF TRADE
 MAY HAVE TICKET
MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE TO. DAY, WHEN IT WILL BE DECIDED
 WHETHER TO HAVE AN ALDER MANIC TICKET BEFORE PEOPLE.

The Board of Trade will meet this aft ernoon at o'clock in the Tomlinson building to discuss the advisability of placing a full aldermanic ticket before the citizens of Birmingham in the approach ing municipal election.
 The object of the Board of Trade Is said to be to get business men of responsibility to accept the offices and to eliminate as far as possible the professional politician in Birmingham.
 It is not known who the board will en- dorse, or if they will endorse any one at all. The meeting Is an adjourned ses- sion to discuss and settle the matter or ticket. If men are endorsed they will be those who are willing to support the movement to get municipal ownership or the water works, or much better and cheaper water for Birmingham. It Is also said that they must be in favor of the Greater Birmingham movement and number of movements started by the Board of Trade.
 If the board decides to put this ticket before the people the president will ap- point a committee of three or five to se- feet these candidates and to report at later meeting of the board.

WILL ABOLISH ALL
 FREE AMBULANCES
BIRMINGHAM UNDERTAkERS DE- CIDE TO GET RID OF THE EX- PENSE-CLAlM THAT BlRMlNG- HAM SHOULD PROVIDE THEM.

The undertakers of Birmingham have decided to abolish the free ambulance sys- tenn, which they have been running for years, and to petition the city to get an ambulance service of it's own with a pny- sician to go with the vehicle, as Is done In other cities the size of Birmingham.
 They state that 1t requires about S00 a month to carry people In the ann balances, and that they cannot stand this extra expense. They claim that in all other cities there is a city ambulance corps which answers all calls with a phy slcian who attends to the wounds or h. juries at once and save the delay now occasioned.
 Several instances have occurred lately where an ambulance with a physician would have possibly saved the life of a man. but as # Is impossible to get medi- cal attention until a hospital Is reached It delays the treatment and the injured or wounded man sometimes dies. In other cities there is a station with drop har- ness as in a fire department and the ambulance can leave in ten seconds after the call eomes T
