BIRMINGHAM. ALA. Nov. 12.-
Clement r. Wood. recorder of the city

yers who are making preparations to
take action in the matter
Wood is a young Socialist. He at

Socialistic debates and is considered
one OF the most prominent Of the So
cialist leaders here.
The contention Is that Wood is not

that he is a Socialist does not figure,

Since being on the bench, about a
month now, Mr. Wood has been quite
severe in his fines against certain vio-
lators Of the law.
