Burnett said Set he ey--ected to make a. fight against the indIscriminate admission of foreign CTS who come in competition with home labor and who make really undesirable citizens, whose coming, in fact, is of no benefit to anyone save the employer of labor who Is enabled through their pres ence to depress the labor market.

From Anniston to Birmingham for November IS-Lost Game
 on Elulxes

Anniston, November 13-(Special.) )-Per- haps one of the busiest men in Annis- ton these days is President R. F, Gam of the Alabama State Federation of Labor He is employed during the day. time as linotype machnist at the Even Ing Star and has only the evening and night in which to conduct the affairs of his office, his daily routine alternating between the keyboards of the linotype and the typewriter.
 T have my hands full and my work is constantly increasing" he said to- night. "To be in the position of labor leader is not an easy task by any means. The present agitation concerning com pulsory education has added largely to my correspondence. Daily l am in re- ceipt of letters, both advisory and in- quisitory, in regard to the education prob lem. These letters are coming from all classes, but mostly from representatives to the next Alabama legislature. Many are in favor of the measure, a few are in doubt and fewer still are opposed to fl, but all are a unit in one opinion and that Is embodied in a recent utter 5nce ol state Supeflntendent Harry C. Gunnels to the effect that the state of Alabama has reached it's limit in ap- propriations made for school purposes Mr. Gunnels. however, in a recent re- port made by him to Governor Conner, suggests a remedy for this condition that will be well worth considering by the coming legislature
 Tn this report he recommends the submission Of an amendment to allow taxation by districts for school purposes. In my opinion, an amendment of this character would not only meet public approval, but would be adopted in every district In Alabama in such manner as would provide sufficient means to prop erly educate every boy and girl in Ala bama. In my speech to the convention of the Farmers union in Montgomery few weeks ago I stated that one of the things the State Federation of La bor stands for is compulsory education. Al that time 1 did not know that this statement would cause such a furore as has resulted, but I am glad that such is the case, for 1t is much easier to keep thing going than it is to start It.

st. Louis, March 15.-The suspension
of Police Chief Edmund P. CTeecy and
of Lieutenant Thomas Mccormick,
after a two months investigation of a
shortage of several thousand dollars

SEAL HERDS DW|NDL|NG
President Taft Sends Message to
Congress Recommending that the
Government Take Charge.

Washington, March 15.-President
Taft has come to the conclusion that
the slaughter of seals on the islands OF
st. Paul and St. George must stop, and
sent d special message TO Congress to-
day recommending that the government
take charge of the islands, their inhab-
itants and the seal herds, when the
present lease to the hunting rights
there expires on April I.
The North American Commercial
company has the privilege of renewing
its release for another term of twenty
years and the President recommends to
Congress that such a provision of the
present contract be repealed.
Twelve years ago the herds there
numbered 375 600, and they have been
reduced to $4,000, while the breeding
seals have been reduced in the same
time from 10000 to $4,000. The Presi-
dent declares that such a condition is
the result of pelagic sealing, which the
government has been unable to stop.
The state department and the depart
ment of commerce and labor both rec
Ommend a change of policy. In the
meantime the President suggested nego-
tiations may be carried on with foreign
nations to prevent pelagic sealing. Such
a result he believes would preserve the
seals, which at the present rate of de-
struction viii be entirely extinct in a
few years.
