TO HAVE LUNCHEON
To Hear Reports on Mem
bership Campaign for Bus
mess Mems League

Tomorrow at noon the directors of
she Business Mems league will meet
at their second luncheon to report on
the campaign for new members whlch
they have been conducting this week.
Following the ending of the campaign
tomorrow, the plans for the series OF
luncheons to the different divisions OF
business men and other features for
starting a wide awake advertising
campaign to bring out of town trade
to Birmingham merchants will be COM
pleted and made public.
As published some time ago, the
series of luncheons to be given free
at the league headquarters to the diff
ferent divisions of business men of the
city will be an important phase of this
advertising campaign and get-together
movement. One week the grocery men
will attend the luncheon and talk over
mutual plans by which they can bet
ter their business methods and secure
out of town trade, the next week the
hardware men will do the same thing,
and so on until every line of business
Is covered. The membership campaign
conducted the last week was to IN
crease the membership so that more
funds would be on hand to put into
this campaign and make 1t the biggest
of its kind ever undertaken in Birming-
ham, Secretary Sam p. Fowlkes has
stated that with a few new members
the league can eXpend three times as
much money on this campaign as ever
before.
President b. b. Burton and other Of
ficials of the league believe that one
of Birminghams greatest undeveloped
resources is her out t-of-town trade
within a radius of a couple of hundred
miles which is of such class that II
is especially desirable.

by all the other kept newspapers in
Chicago.
1 noticed that the same papers
didn't peep editorially when the
O'Hara committee was showing how
their big advertisers were paying
starvation wages to women and girls.
There was no crusade against the
wickedness of such CAUSES of vice
as starvation wages paid by slave
driving millionaires.
