why can't we get together in this

labor, proper treatment of women
workers, better health and sanitation
and shorter working hours are all HUI

people believe. If that is the case,
then labor and the church should join
hands. A prejudice has existed against
labor because of strikes and boycotts
and acts of violence growing out of
them. How quick people are to see
the outward mistakes and overlook
the principle which il usually com

acts, yet the men who commit them

is blamed for the mistakes of its mem

church is not responsible for them.

FIRST STOP MADE
AT THE STEEL PLANT

The big special, with a Birmingham
Southern mogul engine, eight coaches and
a baggage car pulled out of the Louisville
and Nashville station yesterday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock, bound for Ensley. Ar
irving at the steel mills the sight-seers
under the leadership of guides, formed a
marching column and passed through the
great steel and rail mill of the Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad company 1t
was a sight that many of the delegates
were seeing for the first time, and they
were deeply impressed. The stupendous
machinery the ponderous cranes, the
lodging little switch engines running in
all directions, the faring blast furnaces
and the long. snake like red hot bars pass
ing through the rollers cast a spell of awe
over the crowd. and many of them We're
still talking of the sights at the steel
mill when they arrived back in town last
night.
At the lower end of the steel mills the
train was boarded again, and running on
slow speed, the train passed out to Bay
view, Edgewater and other mining camps,
but no stops were made on account of the
time required to unload the crowd and
get them back onto the train again. The
other and last stop was made at Fair
field at $50 o'clock.

FAIRFIELD PROVES
TO BE FINE HOST

Few times, IL ever, in the history of the
new town of Fairfield has there been such
a crowd on her streets. That crowd of
1000 people marching up the main street
from the train to the plaza looked like
5000 or 1000, the entire street for over
two blocks being filled from sidewalk to
sidewalk with a solid. moving mass of
people.
While the last touches to the refresh
ments were being made on the plaza, a
short speech making was held at the foun-
tain in front. c. M. Powell. president of
the Fairfield Commercial club. welcomed
the crowd to Fairfield, stating that the
merchants convention had meant more to
the Birmingham district than any event
in years. He introduced w. w. Ogden,
the newly elected president of the Ala
hama Merchants association, whom
Harry Jones claims made the first speech
of his life. President Ogden declared the
merchants of the state had realized that
their interests and Birmingham's were
one and the same thing, and that in the
future both intended to work together and
pull for the same things.

ADVOCATE OPENING
NINETEENTH Street
Property Owners IndOrse
Notions Suggestion at
Meeting

Citizens of Birmingham who own prop
erty on Nineteenth street are strongly in
favor of the suggestion recently advanced
by T. H. Motion that the street be
opened under the railroad. in accordance
with the new viaduct plans. meeting
of the owners was held Wednesday night
in the Chamber of Commerce auditorium.
Mr.. Motion was elected chairman of the
meeting and S. c. Stark chosen secretary
Upon taking the chair Mr. Motion ex-
planned the purpose of the meeting and
said that it was not simply to boost Nine
teenth street property but to lend enthu-
siastic support to the plans of the city
engineers for solving the grade crossing
problem, which, he said, was the only
practicable one.
Mr.. Motion pointed out that the city
owns the old Southside market on South
Nineteenth street and the city hall on
North Nineteenth, and would therefore be
benefited materially by connecting the
two streets.
City Engineer Walter G. Kirkpatrick
was called upon and explained in detail
the proposed plan for the whole city. He
said there would be no engineering diff
Guilty in opening Nineteenth street AS an
inducement to the railroads to adopt the
proposed solution of the grade crossing
problem, he pointed out that they would
be relieved Of the necessity of employing
perhaps % hagmen, whose salaries COM
hined and capitalized would show an in
terest on possibly $4,000.
Engineer Stearnes, the grade crossing
expert employed by the city, then made
a brief speech. He had with him blue
prints showing the conditions prevailing
at Nineteenth street and said he saw no
insurmountable obstacle to opening 1t.
G. r. Harsh, in advocating the opening,
said that 1t would add s2.00o000 of tax
values to the present valuations on that
street, revenue from which enhancement
would do much toward paying for the con
demnation of the street. IL such drastic
measures had to be employed.
A resolution was adopted thanidng Mr..
Kirkpatrick and Mr. Stearnes for the at
tendance. The meeting decided to go on
record as favoring the opening of the
street The chairman was empowered to
appoint committee of 10 citizensto carry
out this Endorsement of the general plan.
The chairman was also authorized to ap-
point a committee of three to perfect an
organization of Nineteenth street property
owners. The meeting then adjourned to
meet again at the call of the chairman.
