TO PAY POLL TAX
Tarrant Will Keep Books
Open Until Late Hour
Tonight

Two more days to pay poll tax. Two
more days in which to qualify as a
voter in this county, The indications
are that the payment of this tax will
fall far behind that of previous years
and that many citizens will voluntarily
disfranchise themselves In order to give
every one the opportunity to pay poll
tax, George y. Tarrant announces tina,
he will keep the books open tonight
until late hour. thereby giving the
man employed during the day the final
chance to qualify as a voter The pay
ment OF poll tax is imperative to the
prospective voter and every one other
wise qualified is urged to pay the $3.50
that gives him the right to vote.

Operators Announce That
Several Companies Are
Now Engaged in Max
ing the Readjustment
DETAILS OF COMING
INCREASE ARE NOT
FULLY WORKED OUT
President Crawford of the Tennessee
Company Tells of Adjustment in
Ore Mines, Coal Mines, Quar-
ries and Manufacturing
Divisions

To become effective February l, new
wage scales affecting a great army of
coal miners and others employed about
n,ine operations Will Ibe inaugurated by
several coal companies. Announcement to
this effect was made yesterday by James
L. Davidson. secretary of the Alabama
Operators association.
The companies which have already
agreed to advance wages include the
Alabama Fuel and Iron company. the
Tratt Consolidated Coal company, the
Rlocton Cahaba Coal company, the Ell
dorado Coal company and the Little Ca
haba Coal company. In addition to the
foregoing it has already been announced
that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
road company will put in effect an ad-
vance covering many classes of work
men.
The details of the increase have not
been worked out, according to Mr.. David
sen, who announced that an investigation
mo lne uSH coSl ol lNlHS anu otuet
features moved the operators to make the
increase
Mr.. Davidson's Statement
His statement in connection with the
proposed advance follows:
The matter of an adjustment OF wages
by the coal operators of this district
has been under consideration for more
teen making an investigation for the
members of the association and study
of home conditions. the high cost of liv-
ing and the comparative value of the
labor.
1.-THE association does not undertake to
fix the rates of wages of its members
each one having his own scale of rates
or agreeing with his neighbor on a gem
eral scale. No two mining conditions
are exactly alike. and for that reason
no uniform scales are possible except
on only the most important items, as
pick mining
MANY members of the association have
informed me, however, that new lists
and scales of wages are being worked
cut and will be effective February 1.
believe that the Pratt seam mining scale
will be fixed at a figure higher than
vas ever before paid and that other
labor in and around the mines will be
fixed not less than the highest rate ever
raid before in this district
II assume that no changes Will be
made at the mines where rates have al
ways been on a flat basis and where
the wages were not reduced following
the panic of 1907.
s'No changes are likely where they are
now higher or equal to the wages pre-
yailing in the early part of 1907, which
was a banner year on wage payments.
1T cannot be stated now just what
companies will make changes in rates, as
no notices have been sent to the asso-
citation. However, practically all the
members of the association are figuring
on increases, among which [ am at lib
orty to mention at this time The Ala
bama Fuel and Iron company, the Pratt
Consolidated, the Eldorado, the Little
Cahaba Coal company, the Blocton Ca
hdba Coal company"
