BOWRON RETURNS
 FROM EXPOSITION
SAW VULCAN FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WAS MUCH PLEASED WITH lT-MAkEs AN IMPORT ANT SUPERSTITION.

James Bowron, who has just returned from St. Louis, talks Interestingly of the fair, and especially of Vulcan, the Bir- mingham district exhibit. MT. Bowron urges that some recognition should be taken of Alabama day, which is August ?, and says that it will be very easy to get a large crowd around the base of Vulcan, the iron man. and have ad- dresses which VI oud be of great benefit to Alabama. He said:
 q was very much pleased with Vulcan. It makes a much more attractive and im- posing exhibit than I had anticipated. This is the first time I had seen the statue and I was agreeably surprised. In the limited time I was near the statue I saw large number of people stop and look at 1t carefully and express surprise. These were mostly family groups. I saw very few business men stop and make inquiries However. MT. MacKnight tells me that large number of apparently wealthy and influential business men stop and examine the statue, and then ask uestions regarding it, and the resources of Birmingham. These are the kind of men we wish to reach, and who will benefit the district.
 T was disappointed and chagrinned that the resources of the state were not shown better. When looked at the mag nificent exhibits of the general resources of other states, I V as made to feel bad that Alabama did Lot make an appro- priation for a general exhibit, which would have been a credit to the state. Several private exhibits of excellence have been made but hardly any of them come up to what they could have done. The general resources Of the state of course. did not come under the jurisdic- tion of Birmingham. and she could not be expected to exhibit them.
 q am surprised that some official sters hay e not been taken to observe Alabama day. Something of this kind should be done by all means, ard I hope to see the matter taken up."

SCALE IS SIGNED
 BY TWO CONCERNS
Commercial Operators That En- ter Into Working Agreement
OTHERS MAY SIGN TODAY
DeRardeIeben Go. and Underwood Go. Signed With President Flynn Yes terday Evenino-Furnace Opp
 orators Holding for 4oc.

President Ed. Flynn of Alabama Dis triet No. 20 United Mine Workers of America, announced last night. that two of the commercial operators, the DeBar- deleben Coal and Iron company and the Underwood Coal company, had signed the miners scale, which calls for minimum of 471l cents and a maximum of DIE cents ton for cutting coal. This is un- derstood to be what is known as work ing agreement, to be effective until sueh time as the furnace operators and the miners agree on a scale.
 Although MT. Flynn was not disposed 10 discuss details, it is believed that the commercial operators will finally pay whatever the iron men and the miners settle upon later on. There are eighteen commercial concerns all told and it IS expected that several of these will sign an agreement with MT. Flynn today.
 The Furnace Operators.
 There seems to be little or no possi- bility of an carly agreement or the mlh- CTS and furnace operators. The miners, 1t is said, are determined to stand nrm on their proposition for a 471a cent mini mum for cutting coal and the furnace men say they are determined to stand pat on their offer of 40 cents as the minimum. The joint committee e miners and furnace operators will be continued. however. until they have completed a digest of the two scales now in their hands. The present scale expires tonight.
 After a recess since Saturday the min CTS, conventioned recovened yesterday morning, shortly after. Il o'clock for the purpose of hearing the report of the joint scale committee appointed several days ago for the purpose of adopting a rev scale. The scale committee announce ed that they had failed up to this time to get together
 Executive Session.
 The miners convention held a short open session and then the pass word was taken up. The meeting yesterday af- ternoon was also held in executive ses- sion. When the committee reported yes terday morning that so far no agreements had been arrived at between them and the scale committee from the furnace op- orators it was advised by the committee that no action be taken until the joint committee had completed its work An effort to adjurn until July 1 failed at the morning session. It was announced by President Flynn that number of the commercial operators were ready and will ing to sign the new scale. The object of the executive session was to discuss this matter.
 On behalf of theacommittee from the mine workers national committeeman W. R. Fairley announced to the convention that the committee had been hard at work since Friday. He said that the operators committee had voted down every proposition presented by the com mittee, and that the committee had not quite completed the discussion on the operators proposition. He said that the jcint scale committee had adjourned un- til this morning, when the final vote on the proposition will be taken.
 The convention adjourned until Friday at Il o'clock.

 "A trial by jury, it has been held by the supreme court of Alabama. is the bulwark of American, as it has long been of English freedom. But iD misde- meanors 1t is provided by law in many of the acts creating criminal courts that the defendant valves his right to trial by jury unless he demands it when ar.. rested, or prior to making bond. This ancient writ of habeas corpus wrested from King John by the English people at Runnymede. has ever been held as one of the most sacred inneritances by American citizens from their English an- cestors. It has never been envoked in behalf of the lowest and meanest culprit in vain before any American judge who had any regard for his oath of onice"
