Touring cars throughout the Birming-

made in the service of the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company
These tours are made at a. m. and
p. m. each Tuesday and Wednesday,
They last three hours, and enable every
one who makes the trip to see a great
deal if not all. that is interesting in the
birmingham district.
The initial tour began at o'clock yes
terday morning at the Morris hotel. At
that hour { goodly number of persons
were ready to make the trip. Promptly
at the appointed hour the touring car
rolled up in front of the Morris and the
passengers got aboard. A few moments
thereafter the trip began.
The car rolled out First avenue to
Twentieth street. passing through one of
the principal business thoroughfares of
the city and in sight of not a few prom
inent buildings. 70 the right the Wood
ward building doomed in silent dignity.
Not far away was the union station, and

the May day sun, and awakening artistic
as we'll as patriotic emotions. Turning to
the left at Second avenue, the car pro-
ceeded to Eighteenth street past the post
Office, where it turned northward and
rolled onward to Fourth avenue; down
Fourth avenue to Seventeenth street and
out Seventeenth to Tenth avenue, thus
passing through an attractive residential
section of the city.

MINERS PREPARE
FOR CONVENTION
Annual District Meeting Takes
Place in June

President Edward Flynn Thinks the
Eighth Annual Convention Will
Be Largely Attended.
Quiet in District.
MAY WANT AN INCREASE

The eighth annual convention of Ala

ers of America which will be held in Bir-
mingham commencing June II promises
to be full of interest. The sessions will
be held in the knights OF Columbus hall.
Officers are to be elected but there is
no opposition to the incumbents except
for members of the district board. --ere
are, however, matters of much Importance
to come before the convention, the annual
wage scale probably beng the question
of most absorbing interest.
The coming convention must reach an
agreement with the commercial operators
as to a scale for the year commencing
July 1. At the first days session, 1t has
been customary to appoint the wage scale
committee from the miners organization
to confer with a similar committee from
the operators. This committee from the
miners will have between fifteen and
twenty members, the commercial coal
miners and the furnace miners will have
representation on the committee. The
present scale is on a sliding basis, this
being regulated by the price of pig iron
f. o. b. cars at furnaces ia Alabama. The
minimum price for mining coal according
to the present scale Is 47Is cents per ton
and the maximum 57la cents.
1t is rumoreo that the United Mine
Workers will make a demand for 10 per
cent per ton increase in wages for the
new working year Such a report, how
ever, lacks confirmation.
II cannot say what the members of
District No. 20 will decide to do with ref
erence to a wage scale at the coming con-
vention" said President Edward Flynn
yesterday afternoon. mo one can say
until the convention gets together and
the members of the scale committee dis
cuss the situation.
1.-The convention will be largely attend
ed, / think ard 1t is hard matter to
undertake to make an estimate as to how
long 1t will last.
Everything is very quiet with us in
the Birmingham district, just at this
time. More miners are probably working
today than was the case thirty days ago.
The output at the Inflated Virginia mines
is very good considering the circum-
stances. Miners from Pratt City, Wylam
and other points In that section of the
county have taken the places of the I'M
fortunate men who met their death in
the mines last February"
Mr.. Flynn stated that the widows and
other relatives of the men who were kill
ed in the mine disaster have all moved
away from Virginia mines.
