September 3. Labor Day, will be eel eb1ated by the Trades Council of Mont gomery this year. commit tee composed of one member from each of the local labor unions, Is al work making arrangements for gi- gantic celebration.
 Only tentative program for the oc- casion has been arranged thus far, and 1t will probably be several weeks before the details of the celebration have heen fully mapped out any ready to be put into execution
 According to the usual custom there will be a huge parade in which all labor organizations Of Montgomery will take part. Music will accompany the procession and t is probable several handsomely designed floats will be drawn through the stre6ts.
 It is prot,osed by the committee in charge to make the celebration an fn- novation in MentEnhIery, and the mag nttiide of the parade, together with the floats will afford something distinct lively new in recognition Of Labor Day in Montgomery.
 Following the parade. 1t is proposed to have Q large barbecue, probably at Electric Park. and efforts are being made to have the stores of Montgomery close at noon to give the clerks an op- portunity of joining in the iollification,
 A number of the labor unions have already ordered badges and regalia for the occasion. and it is said that sew era1 of Montgomery's retail establish ments will offer prizes for excellence in appearance. The hne Of march of the parade has net been definitely de- ternained.
 The coinniittee arranging for the eel ebration under the auspices of the Trades Council is composed of James H. Screws. Chairman; J. Grant. Thomas Puliianl, Thomas Besson and E. Rehrns
 The negro organizations will also participate in the celebration. and. af- ter the parade they propose to go to Washington Park
 One of the big amusements on Labor Day will be double header baseball game at Athletic Park. There will be games morning and afternoon.

 Stxtement~ Of Personal Cotton
 for Trxntien Must fse
 Handled OfIicinlIy,

Whether the city of Montgomery will decide to revoke the licenses of certain cotton warehcusemcn of this city Is a matter now Tn the hands of Mayor Teague for final disposition. The failure of the warehousemen to submit sworn statements of their per- sonal cotton on which City License In- specfor j. c. Cowan contends the city Is due a tax ct 1 i-z cents per bale, was officially reported to Mayor Teaaue by the inspector yesterday morning. The Mayor took no action yesterday but inferred that he would refer the matter 10 Acting City Attorney R. T. Goodwin before taking any steps. He said he would fully Investigate the matter before taking action.
 If will be remembered that the City License Inspector announced an appar- ent leakage In cotton receipts as shown by sworn statements from the cotton warehouses Of Montgomery On an in- vestigation he found the leakage was due to the fact that certain warehouse men did not report tfeir personal cot ton On which storage fee Is charged. is subject to tine tax. and that the per sonai cotton of warenousemen is tax able because the warehousemen charge a storage fee m buying it.
 The inspector. suLbseqIentiy directed a circular to the warei,ousemea direct ing them to submit sworn statements of their personal cotton for taxation, and. informing thepi that he con- strued the law as applicable to this class of cotton Thus far he has re- ceived no formal replies and. having waited ten days. the time required by law, ne yesterday reported the matter to the Mayor.
 The Mayor is inclined to believe that. according to the wording of the ordi- nance the warehous.inen have until August 16 to reply to the circular let ter of the inspector. anu If any action should be taken toward annulling the license. It may not be taken until after that date.
 The warehousemsn are still silent re- garding the matter. In the event the city decides 10 enforce tfe ordinance. and revoke the licenses, they will pro5- ably join hands in opposing such action and fhe compulsory payment of the tax

TEN MORE LAID OFF

 UP.
strfke of six Blacksmfthr Continues to Affect Boflermakern and Machin- fsts-Thirty-nve Now Out and
 and Situation is Serious.


 Ten more boiler makers and machin- .sts were laid off yesterday at the Montgomery shops of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. because of the failure to fill the places of the six biacksmiths who struck for an increase of wages ten days ago. In oonseduence of the strike thirfy-five boiler makers and machinists~ have now been laid off and are without employment.
 Master Mechanic w. j. McGee, of the Coast Line Shops, is making every eff fort to secure men to fill the places of the striking blacksmiths. Last week it was found necessary to lay of twenty five men whose work is dependent up- on the work of the biacksmfths, and yesterday 1t was found necessary tc let ten more temporarily out Of ems pIoyment.
 The situation is reaching serious aspect If men are not soon found to do the blacksmith work for the compa- ny. all other employees of the shops whose work depended on the class of work done by the biacksmiths will would virtually tie up the repair work of the entire Montgomery District of the Second Division of the road.
 The proposition which faces the Coast Line oficials gives them the alternative Of yielding to the demands or the strikers, or of securing other ' workmen to take their places.
 Unless one or the other of these courses is pursued 1t will be necessary to make arrangements whereby the engine rerair work for the Mentg erv District of the Second Division will be done at some other of the company's s shops. and large number of working men will be driven out of Montgom- cry.
