Organized labor demanded that

to adapt safety appliances. This de-
mand was reasonable and right. Why
should thousands OF brakemen be
crushed TO death, when little money
saved from DIVIDENDS would prevent
lit? Why should hundreds of mill
lions be spent for new grades, heavier
rails. larger cars, more powerful
engines and bigger profits. and not a

beings without whom all these we're

by shippers and passengers go to

we passed the Safety Appliance Act,

Candidates For MayOralty Actively
 Engaged In Organizing Ana Headquarters Will Be
 ThFOnged by Supporters. - The Gunter Campaign Club will meet at o'clock tonight in the rooms over the Exchange National Bank on Court Square.
 The Tyson Campaign Club will meet at S:30 o'clock in the New Exchange Hotel Annex on Montgomery street.
 The two announcements are the sound of the second charge in the battle that is being waged by the two men, Gaston Gunter and J. c. Tyson, who oppose each other in the contest for the office of Mayor of Montgomery. The Tyson Campaign Club has already held one meeting. That of the Gum ter Club tonight Is the first gathering of the Gunter party.
 Until the organization of the Tyson Campaign Club Wednesday night the work of the candidates had been done altogether with personal approach, either by the candidates or by their friends. There had been no formal or RanIzation and while both MT. Gunter and MT Tyson had been energetic tD the gathering of voting strength. not even committees, at leats so far as the public was informed, had been selected to assist in the superintendence as well as in the actual labors that are to be used in the making of a mayor.
 Tonight's conventions are expected in a measure to indicate the strength of the candidates. They will not fully do so, because Mir. Gunter is holding his first meeting and Is asking only his friends to come. Mir. Tyson has held one meeting and his rally tonight will have more the feature of gem eral gathering.
 By aa error 1t was published that the Gunter rally would be held last night, and several friends came to the rooms over the Exchange National Bank. They were told that the meeting would be held tonight.
