FEW INVOLVED in
REPORTED STRIKE
Secretary Stafford Says Nothing Se-
rious Has Resulted From Diff
ferences Between Parties

Very few men so far have been in
volved in the rumored strike of Blr-
mingham union craftsmen in sympathy
with the local union carpenters, 1t was
indicated last night. Secretary George
Stafford of the Builders exchange knows
nothing whatever about any strike so far
He admitted last night that if conditions
were approaching anything like serious
ness he would surely know something
about it.
April 1 the union carpenters asked an
increase of IA cents an hour and were
refused e. S. Ingram of the Birming-
ham Building Trades council states that
the reports of a general strike are the
result of the other craftsmen sympa~
thizing with the carpenters and that the
whole affair has taken the form of a
fight against the Master Builders asso-
citation.
"The very first thing have heard
about any strike said Mr. Stafford last
night, was the reports in the newspa-
pers. Certainly nothing serious can oe-
cur unless the Builders and Traders ex-
change knows something about it,"

RADIATOR PLANT
TOOPEN IN JULY

The new $3oo,0Oo plant of the American
Radiator company in North Birmingham
will be ready for operate between July
10 and August l. according to informa-
ton received by the local officials. The
contractors are progressing very salts
factorily upon the several buildings that
are being erected and hope to have every
thing in shape for the operation at that
time.
The work Is being done by modern
methods and will result in one of the
best plants of the American Radiator
company being constructed here. With
the new plant costing three times as
much as the first appropriation the COM
pany will be in a position to greatly in
crease it's output That will result in a
greater number of men being employed
and general step of progress on the
part of the company in this territory
Officials in Birmingham of the company
are of the opinion that the plant will de-
velop into one of the best units of the
great radiator company. Sales. it is said,
have developed wonderfully i0 this ter
ritory since the plant was started here in
rented factory on First avenue.

MORE ROOM SOON
FOR PARCEL POST.
Aldrich Expects to Remedy
Conditions in the Next
Month

Postmaster T. H Aldrich stated yes
ton the parcel post affairs of the local
office would "be straightened OUT
within another month As is known. a
plan is on foot by which local postal
officials hope to rent a room In an
outside downtown building In which to
transact the parcel post business of the
office
Conditions in the present parcel post
department in this city are said to be
badly overcrowded and have been al
most since the systems Inauguration.
The cause is attributed to lack of
room. At times the business of the Of
flee is so large that surplus bundles,
going out and coming in, but waiting
for handling by the carriers and wag-
ons of the office, have been stacked in
Mr.. Aldrich's private office. He states
that one morning this week when he
came down to work he could not get
his office door open on account of
the parcel post packages stored in
side
The department has been using the
floor as a sorting table since the sys-
tenn was inaugurated some months ago.
1t is not believed by local postal Of
ficials that the government will COM
pei the local force to work under this
handicap much longer.
Some two months ago advertisements
were run for a vacant room of suffi-
cient size in the downtown district in
which to house the sturdy postal in
FAINT known as the parcel post. For
some reason these negotiations have
been held up" now for several weeks
The postal inspector in charge, Mr.
Pemberton, has received several offers
of downtown sites and at times has in
dicated that several of them were ac-
ceptable. The Washington authorities
1t appears, however, are causing the
delay.
The local parcel post business start
ed off with a rush and has been grow
ing ever since. Some relief Is consid-
cred highly needed until BIRMINGHAM
gets her new million dollar postoffice
