NJ GARBAGE CANS WILL CAUSE ARRESTS
Twenty Southside Residents Ar-
 rested Yesterday
LAW MUST BE oBEYED
Sanitary Inspector Is Going Over the City and No FaVors Will Be Shown In Dealing With
 the Offenders.

City Sanitary Inspector w. c. Burson inauguarated a general inspection of the sanitary condition of the residence DOT tions of the city yesterday morning. be- ginning with a section of South High lands. The result was the arrest of about twenty of the residents who had not compiled with the law in respect to gar bage cans.
 The law requires residents living with in the fire limits of the city to have at least two fire and waterproof cans, hav- ing a capacity, each, of not less than fifteen gallons one of the cans to be used for ashes and the other for gar bage. Those living outside of the fire limits are allowed to use a barrel for ashes.
 This law has not been generally com- piled with, and heretofore the negro cooks or other servants, who generally throw the various kinds of refuse of the kitchen into the alleys. have been ar rested on these charges. This plan, how ever, has not proved successful for the reason that servants cannot put garbage
 
 The officers on the work are enforcing the law strictly, and are now placing the occupant of the house under arrest in- stead of the servant where the required cans are found wanting Twenty arrests were made yesterday and more will fol- low today unless the cans are gotten out in short order.
 Inspector Burson will make a thorough inspection of the city He Is working the south side of town this week, and will probably have officers on North High lands in q few days.
 The sanitary department has been busy during the past month hunting down places that are drawbacks to the general good health of the city. Fifteen arrests have been made and fifteen convictions have been registered. The following is a summary of the work of the department:
 Arrests, 15; convictions, 15; fines, $36.

BOYCOTT CALLED OFF
 BY RAILWAY MEN
Urge Union SympathizerS to
 Again Use Cars
UNJUST TO KEEP UP FIGHT
Appeal Is Made for Financial Assist ance to Tide Over Street Car Men Until They Can Secure
 Other Employment.

The boycott against the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, in- stltuted by the labor organizations of this city at the instance of the organized street railway employees. was yesterday called off.
 The following call was issued during the afternoon:
 Birmingham, Ala, June 6, 1907. At meeting of the local union, No. 4eS, of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees of America, we the undersigned committee, have been authorized to request those who have been refraining from riding on the cars to again use them at their pleasure. This action was taken, as We think 1t would be an injustice to those who have sympathized with us and so nobly sup ported us. To continue to walk. we feel, would be an injustice to themselves. We feel that we have made a noble fight against one of the most gigantic corpora tions in the city, and said fight has been void of any violence on the part of organ ized labor
 Organized labor has put itself on rec ord in opposition to the tyranical tactics of unfair corporations, and is always ready to assist those who are battling for American liberty. Granting that we have not accomplished what we so desired, to continue the fight in our opinion would be unfair, and cause a great deal of in- convenience to the working men and women of Birmingham and the Birming- ham district. This we do not wish to do, for we appreciate what they have so nobly done for us in our struggle for our rights. However we wish to appeal to organized and unorganized labor for further finan- cial assistance, so that our members will be able to get along while seeking work. We, in behalf of all of us, wish to thank those who have so untiringly stood by us in our time of need.

CITY IS EQUIPPED
 TO WARD OFF FIRE
SMALL CHANGES WILL BRING BlR- MlNGHAM UP TO FULL STAND ARD REQUIRED BY NATIONAL BOARD OF FIRE UNDERWATER

Mayor Ward yesterday received a copy of the report of F. P. Walther, the en- gineer of the committee which investi- gated fire insurance conditions in this city some time ago for the National Board of Underwriters.
 While it compliments the fire depart ment very highly it finds several faults with conditions; for instance, that there are too many 4-inch mains in the city, and that the alarm system Is insufficient. When these two things have been remedied the city will have fully com piled with all the requirements of the committee. Here Is the substance of the report:
 Water Supply-The recent additions to the distribution system, most of which were practically as recommended, has materially increased the supply available in the congested value district and in many adjoining and outlying sections. With the present good hydrant distrlbu- tion in the congested value district and better type of hydrants being installed, adequate supply should be available in practically all parts if the integrity of
 
 small capacity of the North Birmingham plant makes 1t imperative that all pos sibe means be tken to reduce any liabil- ity of interruption of supply from the Cahaba reservoir to a minimum, necessi- tating the duplication of the 30-nch con dult at the earliest possible date, Many of the other recommendations have been compiled with, bringing the system nearer the standard for good fire protection, but numerous defects, particularly the large amount of finch mains, are still apparent and should be eliminated as rapidly as possible.
 Fire Department--The fire department has been materially strengthened, both in men and apparatus practically all the more important recommendations having been carried out in part in whole One new engine company, one ladder company and two hose companies have been organ ized and installed, and the strength of the other companies increased both in men and apparatus. increasing the manual force from co to 1O4 men, distributed among si engines, three hose and two ladder companies. An assistant chief has DttH dPPOlHltu anu Lit aha6SiiSil HidQt more satisfactory.
 : The effect of increase in the department is in the reduced fire loss. but 1t is still far above the average of cities of like size, and could be further reduced by a more extended use of chemical apparatus
 Fire Alarm System-This system is still unsatisfactory, the more important recom- mendations, such as the ones for addi- tional boxes and the use of conduits for fire alarm wires. not having been carried out.
 The extensive use of the telephones for sending in alarms has proved unsatisfac- tory and is bound to increase as time goes on unless radical changes are made by placing boxes of the keyless or key attached type at frequent intervals and in conspicuous locations.
