The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-01-24

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The matter of establishing. a freight bureau for Birmingham Is vital to it's future in every way.
 There is no point in this country so ad- mirably equipped by nature to become a manufacturing center, and every effort should be directed toward that end. Some may think that Birmingham is already a manufacturing center of large proportions, and in one line this Is true, but 1t is only on the threshold of its possibilities if it's manufacturing advantages were utilized in all lines instead of one.
 There should be no raw material, such as pig iron, steel billets or unfinished lumber as well as cotton, sent out of the south to be manufactured elsewhere and returned for consumption here have al- ways maintained that when the south took up in a systematic way the matter of supplying it's own people with both food and other products 1t would soon find that 1t could feed and clothe almost the entire world besides.
 There is no work for Birmingham that will begin to compare in importance with this one of placing it on a general man. ufacturing basis. I will not go into details but I am in possession of facts that show greatly to Birmingham's disadvantage as a manufacturing center, and only desire to awaken public effort so that a spirit of intelligent cooperation between the people and the railroads may be inaugu- rated
 This can best be done through a freight bureau, one that will have the friendship and good will of the railroads rather than their antagonism, yet one that will bring Birmingham into its own.
 Birminghann's skyscrapers should be filled with offices that represent our own mills and factories, and it is not vision. ary to say that Birmingham can have 100000 population as soon as this is done and this can be done by placing this city on its own basing and giving it the trans portation facilities which it's railroads car supply and will supply when this propo sition is taken hold of in the proper man her.
 There is no work for Birmingham tha it's press and people can undertake tha is fraught with so large potentialites al this one, but 1t should be undertaken fl a spirit of cooperation and not one O. opposition to the railroads if the best re suits are to be hoped for.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Don't Cut Weights.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Iris with much regret that l see the City Council has passed an ordinance au- thorizing the sale of goods. at fewer ounces to the pound than the established rate of long standing.
 They do not say You may take off one ounce of every pound,' but they do say that the merchant may not give full weights and measures. I understand that this may, or will apply to certain goods only. but if the door is once opened and one party is allowed to sell less than l6 ounces to the pound, where is it to stop? Must not another scale of weights be adopted?
 The good woman who pays B cents for a pound of butter likes to put it on the scales and see that she is getting lo ounces When she does that now and sees that she is getting only II ounces, she can call up the merchant, who most po- ltely says that it was a mistake and that he will make it good in the next or der, and all goes well But after this new order of things is put in force, and she is told over the phone that such and such a percentage is allowed for Teak age" according to the new law, there will be no more peace at home, and the busy housewife will spend valuable time calcu- lating percentages and call on the High school children to help.
 People have a right to know what they are buying, and the scales should always turn in favor of the one who buys, let the price be what it will. Will 1t do any

CHILD LABOR LAW
 HAS FEW FRIENDS


 Chicago, January 2s.-(special. )-That the federation of labor is not in accord with the agitation against child labor and has thwarted legislation in their behalf in the state of Louisiana, was the charge made today by Miss Jean M. Gordon, the Louisiana delegate to the child labor conference. The statement was made in in Louisiana before the guests in the banquet hall of the Auditorium hotel.
 Miss Gordon intimated that the bill finally passed by the Louisiana assembly which fixed the ten-hour day as the pe- riod of work for women was drafted by men who were working at the instigation of the manufacturers.
 "I am a unionist," declared Miss Cor don, but I have lost all faith in the as- sistance which might come from the fed eration of labor. It thwarted our plans in Louisiana and seemed to have draft ed the bill governing the limit of the work-day at the instigation or for the interest of the manufacturer"
 Public schools of the present system were characterized as developing the bulb at the top,' and letting the rest go to pot !"
 "Pedagogists say they would like to reduce the time devoted to purely peda- gogical training of children in the schools by one-half or two-thirds and that they would teach the child as much as under the present system,' she said. '"fhe rest of the ehild's time should be spent on the playground or in learning gardening" |"

ANDREW JACKSON'S
 VALOR RECALLED

Washington, January 23.-Senator Hem enway of Indiana has introduced bill for the proper marking of the Missisi- newa victory over the Indians, in Grant county, Indiana, and Representative lief lin, of Alabama, has introduced similar bill for a like service on the Horseshoe field of carnage, on the Tellapoosa river, in his state.
 It was at Missisinewa that Col John B. Campbell and the soldiers under his command overcame the red men in De cember, 1872, and at Horseshoe that An drew Jackson, in March, 1874, finally conquered the warlke Greeks.
 MT. Hemenway's bill provides for a monument to Colonel Campbell and his followers, and appropriated s100G0 foi that purpose, providing the state of In diana gives a similar sum.
 Twenty-Five thousand is appropriated for Horseshoe. Neither bill has beer acted upon.
