mere and those that are here now: know
what made the change and l think n
would be the worst thing that could han
pen to Birmingham if the government sui
against the corporation is pressed to a
successful elimination.
Definite Plan of Work
The corporation has definite plan OF
sanitation, Meath promotion and educa-
tipn of its employees. They are taught to
make garden, to raise stock. to furnish
their houses artistically, to keep surround
inss sanitary and every condition that
goes to make proper living They guard
the lives of their employees, believe. bet
ter than any other corporation in the
world They have a committee on safety
that has made their big plants models
much in the lead Of the average indus
trial plant. l have seen the chairman of
this safety committee shut down a de-
partment for half day or one or two
days In order to repair something that
might endanger the lives of the workmen
when the shutdown cost the company
thousands of dollars an hour.
AS an actual example of the develop
ment and constructive work they are do
ing among their employees, I can cite
Reeders. | name Reeders because was
familiar with that mining camp before
and after the Steel corporation took
charge OF 1t. The men were living In
shacks with their wives and children that
many a negro would refuse to live in
The sanitary conditions there We're UNI
mentionable. Everything was haphazard
and in tumble-down condition. Now IL
is the opposite. The Steel corporation has
made out of Reeders as ideal a home site
as Is Birmingham. The people who live
there have almost the same sanitary and
educational and civic and social condi-
tons that we have In Birmingham.
Means Something for Alabama
THAT kind of work means something
to Alabama. 1t should be crime to dis.
solve the Steel corporation. What they
do. 1t Is true, could be attributed In a
way to selfish motive. BY keeping their
employees healthy and strong and unin-
jured and decent. they get better service
out of them. That's one way to look at
1t On the other hand, look at the hui
manitarian and educational side of it, The
influence the corporation has on any
given employee to improve him socially
morally or Internationally does not stop
with his life. 1t goes on for genera lions
to come. 1t Is an infinitesimal cog in
the great wheel of progress and civiliza-
ton. but 1t Is there nevertheless, and we
want 1t to stay there
As Is remembered, petition has already
been sent to the Alabama congressional
delegation, to Attorney General Mercy
nolds and other government heads from
local employees of the Steel corporation.
The monster petition of private citizens
that is to be started this week, however,
will be carried directly to President Will
son by a delegation of citizens from Bir-
mingham. An engagement with the Pres
dent win be arranged previously.

Mr.. Jacksnn's Statement

U Tie IJullOl VI iit as stiNs
"As promised, the committee in
charge of the Gypsy Smith meetings de-
sires to make public its final report,
and will appreciate your printing in full
the statement herewith handed you.
I'VE desire to thank the community
and especially the papers of Birming-
ham for their consideration in making
this meeting a great success.
Statement "A gives a complete and
detailed record of all receipts and dis
bursements. Statement b shows the
actual cost of the meeting. which Is
S624560. The original estimate of this
amount was $500.
"At a meeting OF the Pastors union
and the committee OF which the UNI
dersigned was chairman, 1t was decided
that the surplus be distributed to GER
tain charitable organizations, which is
shown on the statement a The audi
torium as 1t stands was donated to the
Jefferson County Anti-Tuberculosis So
clety, through Rev. George EaYes, su-
perintendent. The committee has, there
fore, no further charge of this audito .
rum, and 1t is in the hands of the above
mentioned society for such disposition
as 1t deems best. The society should
net at least $500 to 500 out of this
salvage
Every obligation of the committee
has been met, so far as is ascertained
by the records kept and If there are any
outstanding obligations we know moth
ing of them, as they have not been
presented. The amount to the Mercy
Home will be sent as soon as collections
are made for some chairs that were sold
and not yet paid for.

have 1t now. There is no reason why
the building should not be completed In
time for some of the 1914 conventions.
Mr.. I. u. Young, president of the
Southern Machinery and Supply Deal

that convention. / am told by Col Tom
Pound of the Brotherhood of Locoma,.
tive Engineers that an annual conven-
ton of that great organization could
be readily secured IL we had the audi
forum.
III every friend of the auditorium
movement would telephone a voter be-
fore going to the polls Monday morning
not alone to remind him OF the cleo
ton but to procure his promise to vote
there would be no question as to the
size of the majority"
Moving picture slides have been
shown in the theatres of the city for
the past few days urging the citizens
to go to the polls. Wide cloth posters
have been placed on the ends of the
street cars urging the citizens to vote
and other means of calling the atten-
tion of the voters to the election have
been used.
Arguments as to the need of the au-
ditorium itself have not been advanced.
1t was not believed they were needed.
In the preliminary campaign SO much
evidence was cited of the value Of pub
lie auditoriums to other cities that 1t
Is believed the minds of the voters
have been made up long ago.
Movement Started Last Winter
The auditorium movement was start
ed last winter by President w. P. G..
Harding upon his inauguration as pres
ident Of the Chamber of Commerce.
Ever since Chairman Shook of the spe-
cial committee and the chamber as q
whole has worked fndustriously and
untiringly to show the public the needs
and desirability of a peoples auditor
ium in Birmin CHAM. If the bond issue
is Endorsed by the voters today the
Chamber of Commerce Will close it's re-
lations with the movement. 1t will then
rest with the city commission to award
contracts and erect and equip the ac-
tual structure. purchase site and at
tend to all details.
1t is hoped to have the building ready
for service next summer.

DETAILED STATEMENT
ISSUED BY JACKSON
Total of $469.6S Left Over Has Been
distributed Among Various Char
table Organizations of
the City

Gipsy Smith received $2734.25 for his
work and expenses during the recently
concluded revival meetings held In the
auditorium on First avenue. The actual
expenses of the campaign were $624S.6O
and the total amount collected was
s1O,519.03
F. NJ. Jackson issued an official state
rnent yesterday in which the above
facts were set forth. There was sur
plus after all obligations had been
met of S469.6S. This money was d.
Vided among several charitable institu-
lions. The AntiATuberculosis camp re-
ceived the auditorium as 1t stands and
ii is estimated that the association may
Nget several hundred dollars salvage on
the building.
Birmingham has had many musical
enterprises that were financed by do
nations of the people and many other
things looking to the moral uplift of
the people, but it is believed that the
recently ended revival is the first with
in the memory of the Oldest inhabitants
that not only concluded without a de-
ticit, but actually had a surplus of over
S400.

Standard Oil Stocks
Drop Back to Prices
Ruling Before Boom
Advances of Last Year Cancelled
in Sudden Slump of Many
Issues.

It's wise man who can follow the
fluctuations in the oil stocks. The de-
cline in the Standard Oil subsidiary
shares since the middle OF last week has
served TO call attention to the manner
in which advances OF last year In
number of these issues have been can
celled. Standard OIL OF New Jersey at
$40 was 100 points below its January
price Of 44O. and Standard Oil of New
York at 610, compared with 500 then,
Standard Oil of California at 10 COM
pared with a recent high price OF G27;
Atlantic Refining at 500 compared with
$50 last autumn.
Other subsidiaries, to greater or
less degree, show losses from their
highest prices OF the late remarkable
boom" in these shares. In the defla-
ton of that boom. Standard OIL of New
Jersey shares have sacrificed nearly all
their gain of last year.
Advances OF so or a 100 points in a
day have not been duplicated, inversely,
by daily breaks of 90 or 100 points;
nevertheless, a number Of the SO issues
into which the old Standard OIL stock
was divided have gone back to the
prices at which they were quoted not
long after dissolution took place. Some
