FIGHT OVER NEW MANAGER


 that no adjustment between the manage ment and the old employees will be made. G. & Hope, a member of the committee, said this afternoon: There is no change in the conditions, as the men positively refuse to work under the new manager, MT. Todd, on account of his connection with the Chattanooga Pipe and Casting company, which Is a strictly negro plant, and employ no white men except man. agers. It has always been rule with us never to work under a man with such a history.
 Not that we wish to dictate to the man. agement. as we are willing to accept any one else. l.. A. Carlisle. whose resignation brought on the trouble was a great fa- vorite with the men.
 ''The majority of the men have alre" '-- secured jobs to go to work Monday unless there Is a radical change. Many have al- ready gone to work in the other shops"
 A man we'll informed, but not speaking officially, stated that President M. O. Nel- son had made up his mind before leaving Wednesday for New Orleans not to receue one step from his position. He tolo the men that Todd came to him highly recom- mended, and that they should give him a fair trial He will close the plant down before granting their demands. Nelson will return Monday, when new develop ments may be expected
 Improvement Ordinance.
 A sidewalk improvement ordinance will n ost likely be introduced at the next meeting of the Board of Education to cover the avenues from Eighth to Airing ton, below Sixteenth street, and in some places on the streets where t--ey are not something over $7000.
 It is the object of the city fathers to pave every block in the city limits be- fore the contractor is released thus in- surfing justice to all property owners alike and beautifying the city. Besse- mer now has some of the finest looking streets possible; wide, well planned, roads macadmized, and beautifully shaded, their equal can hardly be found in any town of corresponding size.
 Improvement ordinance No Is is almost completed and the finishing touches are now being put on. Part of the assess ments have already been made and the others will be announced shortly. The work of the contractor on this section is being highly commended.
 The Board of Aldermen will hold It's regular semi-monthly meeting Tuesday night, provided the long-sought quorum appears The meetings have been post poned so often that a large amount or important business has piled up, and the session will be quite interesting.
 Not Disappointed.
 Not disappointed but could have been better pleased, was the expression on two car loads of hoarse rooters who re- turned to Bessemer this afternoon. Blue and Yellow, which had so livened the ap- pearance of the crowd as 1t went up. could only now be seen dropping Imply from an occasional pocket.
 However, the boys were not slow to defend the representatives of their Au- burn alma mater, as the game was con- sidered the finest exhibition ever seen. The tricks of Auburn were the subject of unlimited praise, and Phil Lacey came fin for a lions share for his great work as full back Both of the Bessemer Boys were in fine form and made many individ- ual gains for Auburn It Is considered that the losing college is fighting against fate this year, having met lefeat many times by a close score
