Conanaerciol Club Will Meet
 To Honor Montgomery Spirit

Expressions of opinion as to the ex- elusive use of Alabama nateriais for the construction work of the geologi- cal hall, which will be built at the Uni- versity. will be solicited from various ones present. and doubtless some very interesting discussions will be evoked by the subject The vast extent of the resources of Alabama has of late been a fruitful topic, and the mere fact that such suggestion as that made for the construction of the University building Is possible. is worthy of careful con- sideration.
 Another subject which will be taken up Is that of the magnificent mid-sum- Iner festival to be held in connection with the concerts of the famous Inres Band, June 15-I6. One of the note worthy features of that occasion will be the singing of a local chorus, com . posed of seventy-flve male voices ard 800 ch'ildren's voices, in conjunction with the band concerts.
 A matter of great importance to Montgomery. potentially, is the pro- posed construction of a trolley line between Gadsden and Tuscaloosa. which will be discussed in detail during the meeting That Montgomery will re- ceive far-reaching benefit Indirectly from the realization of this plan cannot be doubted. Tuesday night, the nature of these benefits and meth ods of ins creasing them will be considered.
 Tn regard to the mass meeting. Sec- rotary Dave of the Commercial Club yesterday said The meeting will be the most enth usiastic ever held at the club. Great things are happening which tend to the upbuilding of Mont. eomery. The improved business pre- VailinE thrcu ghout the country will bring to Alabama a rapidly y-increasing development. and an early realization of this fact will be of immense value This is not the dream of an enthusi- asst, but is a statement based upon in. disputable facts. and every man in Montgomery should make up his mind to bend every energy toward the has. tening of the era of progress destined inevitably to visit this section.

The results of Montsoniefys advantages. and the in- creasins enterprise of her citizens In demonstratihs them, have recently been exhibfted in q series Of material benefits which have Accrued to the city anl 1t IS felt that public recognition of the services of those who have been main ly instrumentAf in contfiE uting to this happy state Of affairs will form a pleas ant duty.

 in the event of the favorable report of the committee in charge of the guar antee fund for the State fair. gen eral jubilee of rejoicing will form an enthusiastic feature of the evening. It Is hoped that large number of citi- gems will be present to- join in the cele- btation, for 1t is confidently expected that the report of the eornmittt will not prove disappointing.
 The exercises of the evening will be- gin with A welcome to those Montgorn- cry Pythiaris who went to Tuscaloosa and presented the manifold advc ntages of this city 50 ably in their convention proceedings As to lead to the selection of Montgomery as the place for the To- cation of the handsome temple soon to be built by the organization. 'a e
 An interesting report will be that of the City Development Committee. who have had under consideration the es- tablishment ofesan industrial museum in the rooms of the Commercial Club. This museum win contain samples of every article manufactured in Mont komery. and the arrangement of the display will be such that visitor to the city can obtain at a glance, almost, an intelligent and compreh ensive idea of the. entire range of industries exist ing in Montgomery. Such a museum would do much to eradicate the pre- vailing impression that the manufsc- turers of this city are too insignificant to merit attention.

 Mrs. E. c. Adams led the devotion al exercises in the afternoon.
 Mrs. |. W. Chalker made an inter esting talk on the subject of tithing. She said that what we paid in dues and other church and society expenses was not tithing but that our tithes are what we give to the Lord in addition to this.
 "A great many questions have been asked about this matter of tithing" said Mrs. Chalker. and some have been satisfactorily answered and some have not My experience has been that there Is nothing to do but for every in- dividuai to work 1t ont for themselves When I was first married my husband and myself each took sufficient money to pay our dues to the church. This did not work out to my satisfaction and commenced tithing on my own account to the amount of cash might have in my purse.
 Being a preachers wife this did not amount to much and soon saw that a new deal had to be made. I then told my husband that he could not dis charge my personal obligations to the church and to my God any more than he could save my soul and that I pro- posed that we divide our money and each use his share as he or she felt his conscience and duty directed. He agreed to this and 1t has worked we'll"

DISCUSS EIGHT-HoUR LAW.
Hearing on District Bill Brings Out
strong Opposition.

Eight-hour legislation to affect labor
on public works in the District was dis
cussed yesterday at a hearing granted
by the subcommittee on education and
labor Of the Senate District Committee.
Senators Burkett and Carter heard argu-
ments for and against the bill pending TO
effect this reform.
Commissioner West, representing the
District board Of control and p. ].
Ryan. attorney for the Central Labor
Union, advocated the passage OF the bill.
and representatives of the board OF
trade, including W 7. Gauiher. Joseph
Richardson, and E. c. Graham, spoke
against the measure. The Chamber of
Commerce was represented by Chaplin
Brown, who also opposed the bill
The bill proposes 20 allow the Com
missioners TO restrict contracts for Dis
trict work TO contractors who do not
work their men more than eight hours a
day. The opponents of the bill opposed
this principle and maintained that the
present elght-hour law was sufficient for
the Districts needs. Mr. Brown saw In
the bill club intended 10 be welded by
the labor unions over State legislatures,
TO persuade them 10 pass State eight
hour laws, II was also contended that
the proposed new law would be ineffec-
tive, as much of the material used In the
District is manufactured elsewhere,
where the law would not apply.
