POLICE FEAR OUTBREAK AT
 STRIKE HERE
Extra Detail is Assigned ,C Edwards Factory, Preparing
 For mp )0Ttation Of Help

Fears of serious trouble, caused by ty men to aid in breaking the strike at the Edwards company, Oak and George streets, ca nsed Police Superin- tendent Birmingham today to detail an extra squad of six men to guard the picketed factory. A detail of plain clothes men was assigned to meet the Strike-breakerS, who are booked to ar rive on the afternoon boat from New ork.
 The report that help would be inn ported to break the strike caused 8 stir among the strikers today. Picket lines were more firmly established with 125 strikers on duty.
 That the Edwards company means to fight the strikers was evidenced by reports of the pic1ets today. The strikers aver that provisions sufficient to feed 100 men for a week have been brought to the factory and that fifty cot beds have been set up in the shop.
 Eighteen girl. employed at the fac tory were dismissed today. The man agement assigned the reason that to- day Is a Jewish holiday and the girls should not work. The nature of the holiday was not disclosed and strikers say it was only a ruse to get the wo- men from the factory in the event of any serious trouble.
 Samuel Martin. of the Cutters di- vision, and William Bancan. of the tailoring division, of the Ladies' Gar ment Makers Union, are here in con ference today with the strikers.

Republican ticket for all other offices
but the Presidency. His candidacy
was announced prior to the election,
and he was then Endorsed by Chair
man Dawson, of the Progressive
State Committee, and Governor w Z.
Glasscock.
Davis Elkins, son of the late Sena-
tor S. B. Elkins, and himself Sena-
tor for % days by appointment of the
Governor after his fathers death, is
