Respect for law is the greatest need of to-day.
The head Of great corporation should be compelled
TO respect the laws regulating the conduct OF his
corporation as he demands that others respect the
law that protects the property Of the corporation The
anarchy of capital, breeding lawlessness, should no
more be tolerated than the anarchy of labor breeding

Italians Start Relief Fund.

The Sicllian earthquake horror has
aroused a spirit of sympathy in Ensley
and the matter of raising relief funds
has already been started here. Ensley
has an exceptionally large colony of Ital-
ians and several thousand dollars alone,
it is expected, will be contributed by
them. Subscriptions are already being
made and several hundred dollars have
been subscribed
The meeting to be held at Maccabee
hall in Birmingham on Friday will be
attended by a large number of people
from Ensley. At this mass meeting,
which everyone is invited to attend,
permanent committee will be appointed
to handle the subscriptions. This COM
mittee will very probably be composed
mostly of Americans with some bank
official on it. In this way the slight
friction, which is said to exist between
some Of the Italian organizations, will
be eliminated and everyone can join in
the great work of relief without ANY
clashing.
