FOREIGNERS LOOK
OYER THE DISTRICT

John Kutzki, commissioner for the state
of Pennsylvania A. f. Rakoezy, mem
Der of the educational committee and
Joseph Kryzanski, all of the Polish Ma
tional Alliance arrived in Birmingham
yesterday at noon
The visitors are here at the invitation
of a prominent mining company that
wished to have the officers inspect local
conditions and recommend Birmingham
as a place of residence for their fellow
countrymen.
The serious shortage of labor in this
district resulted in the invitation being
extended to the visitors. Yesterday they
visited several local mines and last night
were shown about the district by several
local mining men.
When interviewed at the Hillman last
night the three Pennsylvanians seemed
to be very well pleased with their visit.
I'VE are here simply as personal in
vestigators," said Mr.. Kutzki, who acted
as spokesman for the trio. I'VE under
stand the district requires a large num-
Der of men and while we cannot promise
anything we will tell our organization
of the district. We have 10000 members
OF the alliance. MANY of whom appeal
to us for desirable places of residence
In speaking or the recent explosions In
this district and when questioned as to
whether the unfortunate affairs would
cause a spirit of backwardness to char
acterize immigrants, Mr.. Kutzk said:
miners are men who realize that a
certain amount of danger follows In the
wake of their calling. Hence explosions
although very unfortunate. will not cause
good miner any uneasiness. We hear
of your explosions of course. but the
mfninp world does not hold accidents
against a district"

today and will leave for Pennsylvania to-
night
