The Equal Suffrage league of Bir-
 mingham became a reality yesterday
 afternoon in the directors room of the
 Chamber of Commerce when about 30 | women of this city adopted the na- | tional. equal suffrage constitution with
 a few changes and declared themselves organized The call for this meeting | to formally launch the league as an as- | sociated body of people believing that
 the Industrial, educative and legal | rights of women should be promoted | through the equal deposition of votes in the ballot boxes in this country" was sent out last Sunday.
 | Mrs. ". L. Murdoch, temporary chair
 man, presided over the gathering and
 concisely stated the object of the club | as being of character that embraced state legislation rather than municipal codes and that 1t was not purposed to infringe upon the undertakings of any civic associations. Miss Ethel Armes was named temporary secretary and | the chairman proceeded with the bus | mess of organization.
 The name, Equal Suffrage league" | was proposed as the official title of | the club and there being no objections
 to this 1t was duly announced as such. | The three principal sections of the na-
 tional constitution pertaining to the
 object, mbership and list of off-
 cers for this society were read by the
 secretary and adopted by those pres
 ent The object Is stated as being the | advancement of the industrial, educa- ttonal and legal status of women to
 be accomplished by extending the right
 of voting to women. The membership
 will be opened to any persons, regard | less of sex, who will sign the consti-
 tuition, thereby promising to be guided
 in their political views by the bylaws
 to be framed from the constitution
 at later time The list of officers
 shall include president, three vice
 presidents, a corresporcfng secretary, recording secretary and treasurer, all
 of whom shall be members of an ex- | ecutive committee The national consti-
 tuition provides for an auditor on the roster of officers, but this was struck
 out by the local organization as | librarian will probably be substituted | to have charge of the literature There will be no annual or set dues, but | the treasury, when needing money, is | to be made up of voluntary contribu l tions from those members who care |, donate.
 The question of electing officers aros and upon motion was deferred unt the next meeting. which will be hei next Saturday at 3 o'clock to com- | plete the details of organization. The enrolment of charter members was eff fected yesterday afternoon and 30 of | the best known charitable, professional and society women of the city, with | few from Bessemer, inscribed their
 names to Birmingham's first woman's | rights association.
 | There will be an enrolment of bus-
 mess men who are to become honorary
 and active members and the constitu- | tion does not bar them from holding
 office in the league, should they be
 elected.

NEW YORK. Feb, 6-More than half a
century ago Horace Greeley advanced the
fundamental principles of present day or
ganized labor, advocated the shorter work
ing day and combatted child labor, This

Of the rights of labor" was discussed to-
day by United States Albert J. Beveridge
I'm the New York theater. where the New
York Typographical union No. celebrated
the Tooth anniversary of Greeley's birth.
Greeley organized the first union OF New
York printers in 1850
Most OF the labor reforms which Gree
ley possessed and for which he fought
already has been realized in part" said
Senator Beyeridge, and ultimately will
be realized entirely. The ten-hour working
day for which Greeley battled against the
unlimited working day OF the time now
has grown Into the eight-hour day from
the same arguments and facts which Gree
ley used. ~ ought to be universal In all
trades. From ocean TO ocean organized
tabor is now a fact as permanent as the
government Itself, The holy crusade
against ehiid labor now moving militantly

Postmaster General
Says He is Satisfied
With Postal Banks
If Appropriation Was Available
Hitchcock Asserts He Would
Establish Many More.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-''1f the neces-
sary appropriations we're available, would
establish postal savings banks tomorrow in
500 additional cities and towns OF the United
states"
This statement was made tonight by
Postmaster General Hitchcock in view OF
reports thus far received concerning the
first months operation OF the postal saw
ings system. The reports are most graft
Tying to Mr.. Hitchcock and TO the other
officers Of the postal savings service. They
are regarded as demonstrating that the
new system already has passed the expert
mental stage
The certificate-of-deposit plan. which is
an innovation in the transaction of postal
savings business, is shown to be admirably
adapted to it's purpose 1t is found to be
readily understood by depositors and easily
handled by postmasters.
The total deposits in the forty eight ex-
istnig postal banks for the month of Jan
uary will amount to approximately $4,000
This is an average OF about 81 200. Assum-
ing that this average will be maintained
throughout the year. the aggregate OF an
nual deposits will be close to S75O,OOO 1t is
assumed by the officers OF the system that
the deposits will be correspondingly greater
when the service is extended TO first-class
offices.
The average amount of deposits being re-
celved at each office, as indicated by the
January returns, is larger than the CORE
spending average for the British system of
postal savings repositories in 1908, the most
successful year in the history OF that sys-
TEN.
a large majority Of the depositors in jan
uary were foreign Americans, many of
whom have been in the habit Of sending
their savings to their native countries for
deposit. An important result of the system
therefore, is to diminish the outflow from
the United States of such funds.
In view Of the successful operation Of the
new system during It's first month, Post
master General Hitchcock has recon-
mended to congress the appropriation OF
81, 900 900 to be Immediately available for the
extension of the postal savings system to a
! considerable number OF postoffices the
patrons of which are clamoring for the new
banks.
