WEST END WILL
 ENTER PROTEST
Citizens Resent Action in Cutting Down Their Present Po-
 lice Protection

Dave Williams of the criminal court s- sued yesterday call indorsed by a great many residence of West End for a mas, meeting to be held Friday night in West End at which time it is understood the city commissioners will be memolialized to retain the police sergeants who ars slated to be released from their offices October l5. MT. Williams says that there Is feeling of resentment in West End that the suburbs should be picked out by the commission as the localities to suffer from reductions in expenses
 We have invited the commissioners to come down." said MT. Williams, and tell
 us why West End, specially, should be singled out to suffer the aboishment of our poor police service as it Is now op-
 erated. We will submit that we pay
 taxes on a vast amount of taxable prop erty and that we should not only be given our present protection, but should be given additional service. I take it that
 red hot resolutions will be offered to the
 mass meeting, setting out our views in this latest move without reservation. q have always been friendly to the com- | msisoners but l do not not think they
 have acted with the utmost wisdom in | handling this police cut"
 | Commissioner Weathery is the only member of the commission in the city, and 1t is doubtful whether he will attend the
 mass meeting. He has nothing to do
 with the police department as that work Is under Commissioner Lane. However he voted for the resolution of Comms- soner Lane reducing the number cf
 patrol sergeants to the bare number em- ployed when Greater Birmingham became fact
 Although assurances have been given by Commissioner Lane that the veteran. police officers will not be thrown ult of work at this stage, the indications are that in addition to the West End mass meeting others will be held. Camp liar dee of Confederate Veterans has given it's views upon the police reduction. as many Confederate Veterans are members of the department, while the Trades Council and other organizations have indicated their disfavor toward the plan to reduce the sergeants.
 The chances are that some very inter- esting petitions will be offered the com fnissioners in an effort to get that body .o
 modify it's budget cutting the police ser vice of the city.

The splendid exhibit of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company that occupies a large and magnificent booth State fair was awarded the diploma for the best and most comprehensive display of minerals. ores. etc.
 The company also received diplomas for the best display of iron and steel in the pig, ingot bar, plate and sheet and received first mention for the best black smith coal, grate coal, furnace coke and smithy coke
 They were again the recipient of the di- ploma for the best display of iron ore systematically arranged. These awards were made by the mines and min neral department. The company was further honored by the judges of the merchants department who passed on the booths generally, by being awarded the diploma for the handsomest and most artistic booth
 It would seem impossible to arrange such cold and unromantic articles as pig iron red ore, coal and coke into a pleas ing exhibit, yet this has been done by the officials of the Tennessee company and has been done well.
 Incidentally it might be mentioned that the company has adopted the industrial pennant portrayed above, which will be flown over the many and varied plants of the company. The flag occupies prominent place in the exhibit of the fair grounds.
 The booth is constructed of wood and iron, artistically painted and brilliantly lighted. The various articles are arrang- ed with skill and form a striking and Im- pressive picture. One sees the rough and
