WESTERN UNION
INCREASES WAGES
Local Manager Is Notified of a 10 Per
Cent Increase, Effective
March 1.

f. e. Williams, local manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company, has
received a message notifying him of the
10 per cent increase in wages which
will go into effect March |. The message
is from General Superintendent J. Levin
and is as follows:
This company has received petitions
within the last sixty days from sixteen
offices in the west and southwest, ask
ing for an increase of 10 per cent In
the salaries of employees. These petitions
have been given careful consideration,
bearing in mind that the company could
not discriminate in favor of a few Of
fees, but that any action taken should
be general. In this connection, 1t has
been necessary to consider the enormous
ly increased cost of all kinds of tele-
graph material, which in many cases has
been from so to 100 per cent, while the
tariff rates on messages and other traf-
fic are very low in view of the demands
of the public for ever increasing facil-
tiles and more rapid service.
In fact many of those rates are relics
of former runous competition and are
Improbable.
Notwithstanding these facts. the COM
pany has decided to increase the salaries
of operators at its principal offices
throughout the country 10 per cent from

OF GRADE WRECK
j. A. YOUNG PASSES AWAY AFTER
FOUR DAYS OF AWFUL AGONY.
REMAINS SENT TO RENLAP
THIS MORNING.

The death of another victim of the
street railway wreck brings the memory
of the horrible tragedy on the Twen-
ty-seventh-street grade crossing back to
the minds of the Birmingham people.

agony death occurred yesterday morning
at IL o'clock at the Copeland hospital,

dent.

men who were caught under the car who
was not instantly killed. He was taken
from almost the same place where the
four other men were so horribly crushed.
His leg was mashed, requiring an am
putation, and other injuries were almost
as serious.
He was quite a large man, unable to
stand the shock and remained delirious
nearly all the time Tuesday afternoon
he was taken with a sinking spell and all
hope was given up.
Mr.. Young was a carpenter, 80 years
of age, who lived at Sxty-third street
and First avenue, Woodlawn, but worked
in Bessemer. He was returning after
hard days labor when the accident oc-
Cured. He was man with many
friends. a hearty laugh and pleasing
personality. His death will cause grer
among his many acquaintance.
The remains will be sent to Renlap,
Ala, this morning by Lige 10y

AT a meeting of the Birmingham BAR
held In the city court yesterday after
noon. the question of selecting and nam
inc an acceptable candidate for the OF

Alabama district was discussed.
The discussion partook more OF the
nature of a general consultation and free
expression of opinions than of strlcuy
business proceeding. The names OF sew

GOAL PRODUCTION SHOWS
DECREASE OF 453,992 IONS

State Mine Inspector j. NJ. Gray COM
pleted his report for 1906 yesterday, and 1t
shows that the coal mined in Alabama
during the year totaled 11,446,161 tons, Il
decrease of 453,992 tons as compared with
1905 In the early part of the year 1t was
believed that the total annual tonnage
would amount to IL, 900 tons The output
of the first six months indicated that it
easily reached those figures. But last fall
witnessed steady decrease attributable
chiefly to the car shortage trouble.
The mining development work now in
progress will give Alabama an output this
year of 100000 tons. provided railroads
are able to supply the operators with cars

NORMAN BROOKS Is
IN LOW CONDITION
ENGINEER WHO WAS ScALDED IN
FRISCO WRECK Is DELlRIOUS
AND EXPECTED TO DELIVERY
LITTLE HOPE.

The condition OF Norman Brooks, the
popular engineer of the Frisco railroad.
who was so horribly scalded in the wreck
last Saturday is causing much concern,
and it is now feared he will never re-
cover 1t will be remembered that his
whole body was scalded and that from
the first his suffering was terrible.
During the last few days the agony has
become more intense, and he has been
delerious most of the time. Yesterday
afternoon he was very low, and 1t re-
quired constant attention Of the physi-
clans to stem him over. This morning his
condition was slightly improved, but he
is still unconscious.
Hope has been almost entirely given up.
Brooks was one of the best known en-
gineers in the district man with many
friends, who are grieved that he has
come to so serious an accident. His fam
lily are overwhelmed with grief Every
thing possible will be done to save him,
against all odds.
