CHIEF WEIR TALKS
ABOUT GAMBLING
SAYS THAT HE WILL SUPPRESS
THE EVIL IN BIRMINGHAM If
1T is WlTHIn HIS POWER TO
DO so.

Chief of Police wier is determined to
put an end to gambling in the city as
far as 1t lies in his power With that
intention In view he started several days
ago by warning all the gamblers that
they would have to leave the city or go
to Jail, and also that the gambling
houses had to be closed up for good
and all.
In talking about the matter yesterday
Chief Wier said:
II am going to do my best to put
a stop to gambling In Birmingham. |
have instructed certain of the officers to
use every means in their power to close
up the gambling houses and they are
already carrying out my instructions
The new ordinance gives me additional
power and | intend to use that authority
to aid me in putting an end to gambling"
Does that apply to all kinds of gamb-
ling in the cty?' was asked the chief.
at certainly does. 1t applies now and
will continue to apply AS soon as the
new ordinance Is passed | will conflscate
all the gaming devices that / find and
I will not only do that, but 1 will destroy
the same, as the ordinance was drawn
up for the purpose of giving this power"
Already the effects Of the action of
the chief are to be noticed. There are
fewer gamblers in the city now than
there have been for some time back, and
those that are here are all on the streets.
The police are visiting the alleged gamb-
ling houes at all hours of the day and
night and what little gaming there Is
going on is sadly interfered with.
The cases against the fifteen men ar
rested i'm the Metropolitan hotel and
charged with gaming were called yester-

Don H. Bacon, president of the Ten
nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company,
in commenting Yesterday afternoon on
the industrial conditions in the Birming-

which he is president believes in the
policy of the "open shop"
1.-The spirit of unionism so far as
have been able to observe it," said Mr..
Bacon, sis against individual effort.
while this district is progressive, its
possibilities have not been reached, or
even approached. Much still remains to
be done before it takes the position to
which 1t is entitled by reason of its ma
tural resources.
ITO accomplish this, worlkmen OF in
telligence, character and skill are neces-
sary; men who will give their best eff
1crts to the industries that are here and
those that will come.
There is at this time a scarcity of
labor in the district; this is true, how
ever, of all parts of this country in
which a large number Of people are en-
ployed. Industrial conditions throughout
this district are good. A large volume
of business is being DONE The open
shop is proving successful, despite eff
forts against it. Those who have adopt
ed the open shop are doing work
that will inure to the benefit of the COM

VICE PREST LOVETT
NOT DISCOURAGED
Reduction in Cotton Acreage
Big Undertaking
MUST REACH A MILLION
Southern Cotton Association Has AL.
ready Met With Encouragement,
Says DR.. Lovett-can't Be
Done in a Few Months.

DR.. ]. A. Lovett of Brownsville. vice
president of the Alabama state division of
the Southern Cotton association is not
disappointed at the report on the redue-
ton in the cotton acreage.
DR.. Loyett, who was in Birmingham
yesterday said:
TT must be remembered that the whole
matter of reduction of acreage was not
strenuously agitated until the great con-
vention at New Orleans last winter. To
reach a million cotton planters, in so
short a time, with proposition to ma
terially change their plans, was Her
culean task. Especially was this true
when we consider the fact that the
farmers of the cotton states were not or
ganized.
In my opinion, we have much to en-
courage us in the matter of pushing the
organization among our farmers. They
want to do what is best for themselves.
and for the whole country The great
masses of our farmers need information;
and the campaign of education must be
conducted through organization.
while we have been accustomed to
speak of the New Orleans movement as
an organization, such an end has been
but partially reached. To consumate an
organization, proper, 1t will take time.
II cannot be done in a few months. But
should the great work be carried on to
completion, and when all our farmers
shall be able to fully understand and APP
preciate the benefits of united effort
along all agricultural lines, there will
be no difficulty in reaching the highest
good In the rotation and diversification
of crops, as we'll as the matter of re-
duction of acreage, when the wisdom of
the leaders so directs.
IT have great faith in our farmers and
unbounded confidence in the good re-
suits to come of the great movement
toward organization"
