CLABAUGH CASE Is
SET FOR SEPT. IL
ACTION IN FEDERAL COURT Is
SIMILAR TO THAT IN STATE
COURT SOME TWO YEARS
AGO

The case of Hinton G. Clabaugh in the
United states court against the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' association has been
set for trial September Il. An order to
this effect was made yesterday afternoon
by Major Charles P. Allison. clerk of the
court. The case in the government court
has been pending for about two years. A
similar case in the state court was filed
in 1907 and a compromise was affected in
the early part of 1908. The case in the
United States court is against the South
ern Wholesale Grocers' association and
names James A. VanHoose as It's presi-
dent. which he was at the time. Since
the suit was fled J. H. McLaurin has
been elected president. He resides in
Jacksonville. Fla.
The case has been set about II days
after the Southern Wholesale Grocers
association and some half dozen individ-
ral firms must answer to the government
petition filed several weeks ago. In the
latter case will be Gen. Luke f. Wright,
who is the attorney for the grocers. The
suit of the government is an effort to dis
solve the association, claiming that it is
operated In restraint of trade, and that
1t is an illegal combination. The grocers
filed an answer to the case on the first
of this month, when Gen. Luke Wright
made formal appearance. This formality
will be the only one until September l,
when the answer will be filed in open
court.

MORE COAL ORDERS
ARE PLACED HERE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC BUYS $4,000
TONS FOR DELIVERY WITHIN IL
MONTHs-DALLAs MAN ALSO BUY
ING FOR WESTERN POINTS

The Southern Pacific railroad placed
of coal to be used on that system with
in the next y months. The order was
given the Pratt Consolidated Coal COM
pany and it is announced that shipments
will start at once.
The Southern Pacific seldom places or
ders of such size in any district other
than through which the lines operate In
OF the order in Birmingham created mild
surprise in coal circles. The coal trade
was not informed that the order was
pending. The Pratt Consolidated Coal
company has perfected arrangements to
transact larger business this year than
in many past.
In addition to this order B. r. Smith
of Dallas, Tex, has been here several
days buying coal. In speaking of his
work Mr.. Smith said he has placed or
ders for about 50 cars per day for the
past three weeks. This tonnage has been
shipped to points on the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas railroad
The strike that has been In progress in
that territory for several months con-
tinues. However, yesterday the mines
opened under the open shop plan, so the
orders to this city will be diminished.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas also
placed orders for about 1900 cars during
the first 60 days OF the strike.
In speaking of the orders being placed
here Mr.. Smith said:
THE Missouri. Kansas and Texas has
been buying here freely for several
weeks. However, the strike that has
been in force out west for 60 days has
been settled, so far as the operators are
concerned. The mines opened this morn
ing under the open shop plan and while
the output in that district will be small
at first, 1t will help some The orders
here will accordingly decrease until we
secure a maximum of coal and then the
orders here will stop. We own our mines
and 1t would be folly for our company
to purchase here. The orders placed here
have been given to Frank Order, the
Tennessee company, the Pratt Consoli-
dated and other companies.
Birmingham is great district and
capable of almost unlimited accomplish
ments. l have been reading and hear
ing OF this city for many years, but
never realized what an immense district
you had until I became attached here
through business channels
Il am sure the mines of this district
are capable of larger tonnages and hope
to see the day when the Birmingham
district will take rank over every district
| in the country In the coal trade"

WALKER COUNTY MAY
EXHIBIT AT FAIR

Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, commission OF
agriculture-elect, and superintendent of
the agricultural exhibit Of the Alabama
state fair, has been invited to be present
at meeting of the Jasper Industrial
club tomorrow and address that body on
the necessity of Jasper and Walker coun-
ties being represented at the fair.
From the interest that Walker county
is showing in the fair now, Captain Kolb
believes that he will be successful in his
efforts to secure an exhibit from that
county. Captain Kolb declares that he
is receiving encouraging reports from
Jasper, and that in addition he believes
several other counties will eventually de-
eide to make displays of their products at
the fair besides the fourteen counties that
have already made contracts with the
association.
