UNIONS HINDER
 TRADE SCHOOLS
So Argues the Committee on Indus. trial Education os the National
 Manufacturers.

New York, May 15.-A criticism of the attitude of labor unions toward indus trial schools was outlined in the report today of the committee on industrial ed ucation to the National Association of Manufacturers. The report declares that labor unions have made efforts to hinder the perpetuation of trade schools.
 Their efforts" said the report "are nothing short of a crime against all those young men who desire to learn trade and are the cause in a considerable measure for the lack of skilled labor In the United States"
 The tariff and reciprocity committee re- ported that under present conditions many manufacturers are greatly handicapped in the German market. The committee asked that strenuous efforts be made by the United States government to reach immediately fair base of trade with the German empire

CITY AND COUNTY.
Business Man Writes About Local
 Political Policy.

Tc the Editor of the Age Herald:
 In working for Birminghams develop ment, I think there is a phase of the situation that should have the earnest thought of our citizens. All of us who live here and understand the potentiali- ties of this valley recognize that the city of Birmingham, while the most important portion, is. after all, only a small physi- cal portion of the whole. t
 Birmingham to Jefferson county is like the heart to the body, absolutely essen trial, but not the whole. If the heart worked only for its own development and failed to sustain the balance of the body, the heart would finally cease to beat, ow- ing to the death of it's surroundings.
 Within the city limits of Birmingham 60 600, in Jefferson county, probably sO.- eco; anything that helps Birmingham helps Jefferson county; any improvement in Jefferson county is to the benefit of Birmingham.
 l have noticed in, some printed articles and have heard in some discussions re- gently sentiment, which to my mind is exceedingly hurtful. This sentiment expressed on the part of some Birmng- ham citizens carries the idea that Rir- ningham is interested solely in its own development, while the sentiment coming from outside points In Jefferson county Indicates feeling that 1t Is necessary to take something from Birmingham fin order to acquire 1t for other places.
 This sentiment of rivalry is entirely wrong and the sooner 1t is changed the greater and more regular and sturdy will be the development of both Birming- ham and Jefferson county.
 The time is ripe for the citizens of Bir-

Atlanta, May l5.-Five hundred dele gates, representing every cotton growing state an1 several northern states, gath cred here today for the tenth annual meet ing of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crush CTS association. This association repre- senting nearly one thousand manufactur- cries and one hundred million dollars ad- ded to the annual value of the cotton crop in the United States, brings to it's meetings the consideration of interests second in importance to those of the Ma tional Manufacturers association. The convention was welcomed by Gov. j. M Terrell, for the state; Mayor Woodward for the city, and Sam D. Jones, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, for the citizens and business men of Atlanta Appropriate responses were made by J. C. Hamilton of Baton Rouge president of the Interstate associations by F. H. Bai- ley of Paris. Texas, and by Ernest La mar of Selma, Ala.
 At the afternoon session the address of President Hamilton was the important feature in which he considered especi- ally the mutual insurance question and the marketing of oil. Insurance losses should be settled, he said on the basis of the market values at the time of the de- struction of the property. Members, he declared, should insist on this method, in- stead of estimating the cost to the manu- facture and entailing endless litigation,

REFUSE WAGE SCALE.
Marine Firemen Leave Conference.
 Others May Follow.

Cleveland. Ohio. May 15.--The confer ence between marine firemen and repre- sentatives of the Lake Carriers assocla- ton, which has been on for the past two days considering the question of wages ended abruptly late this afternoon, the marine hremen leaving the conference and refusing to accept the proposed wage scale. As the iongshoremen. tugmen. oil- CTS grain scoopers and water tenders are affiliated, it Is believed the break in negotia tions will carry out all of these clements, and throw the lake carrying situation back to where 1t stood last week, when the agreement was reached by the Lake Carriers association and longshoremen. which resulted in re- sumption of traffic.
 President Keefe and the delegates rep resenting the labor elements withdrew from the conference this aftrnoon. de- claring that the men would not accept the scale.

San Francisco, May 1.-Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars awaits Mrs. Andres Neilsen, widow with nine chill dren. who was burned out during the holocaust, and who is now believed to. be in some refugee camp about the city. Her husband. a tanner, though the son of a wealthy father in Sweden, died in 1898, leaving the family destitute. The woman, too proud to appeal to her wealthy rela- tives, worked hard to support herself and little ones. They lost all when the fire swept the city. Now comes word that the father-in-law in Sweden Is dead and his large estate Is all to go to the widow and children of his dead boy.

ming'ham, with one accord, to eliminate this feeling. .
 On account of the fact that our popu. lation here is moro dense than in other sections of the county, it has been the habit of politicians, in eleetng officers of Jefferson county, to take them almost entirely from Birmingham. Frequently deserving men from other sections have failed of election to office through the fact that their acquaintances were in thinly populated portions of the county, and the Birmingham citizens vote largely for men coming from the confines of the city proper.
 If Birmingham is the heart of Jefferson county, and is to perform it's functions properly. the citizens here should see that other sections of the county have due representation in the offices that govern the county, and in the legoslators who represent them in the law-making bodies.
 So soon as the county feels that the business people of Birmingham recog- night this principle and will use their efforts to give them representation just so soon will Jefferson county recognize Birmingham as her heart, and rally
 around all enterprises for the good or
 the whole.
 We have primaries coming this summer for the election of a senator and repre-
 sentatiyes to the next Alabama leBlsa-
 ture. l believe that Jefferson county outside of Birmingham, should have three
 representatives in this body and that it is the privilege and duty of the business people of Birmingham to work to this ] end.
 ' We often hear it said that business | men should not interest themselves i'll politics, that they have not the time. etc., | II business men do not make themselves felt in politics and control policies and | legislation to the advantage of business interests and along sound and safe lines, | they will continue as in the past to waste their time bewailing the laws which poll l tieians put on the books, and under which the business man has to transact his business
