The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-05-25

Unfalteringly through eight hours of
fighting Commissioners Lane and
Weatherly stood by Recorder Clement
Wood yesterday and at the conclusion
of the longest hearing ever held before
the commission adjourned without ac-
ton. Wood had been cited before them
on a charge of impeding justice by his
handling of the strike cases.
Upon charges preferred verbally by
George H. Bodeker chief of police Of
Birmingham, and Officer Don Oldham,
the Oldest policeman in Birmingham,
the commissioners started to investi-
gate the recorders decisions yesterday
al noon. The hearing was initiated by
President Culpepper Exum, who was in
formed of the decisions made by the
recorder in reference to some strikers.
Summoning the other commissioners
the president insisted that Wood be
brought before them and a hearing be
held as to the competency of the re-
corder to sit on the strike cases
The recorders address last Thursday
night before a meeting of strikers and
their friends and his subsequent de-
clsions in reference to strikers beating
up non-union men incensed the presi
dent of the commission. However aft
ar hearing several witnesses and con-
sidemng the matter in executive ses-
sion for some time this statement was
issued:
The commissioners decided to take
no action at this time on. informal
Oh
Commissioner Exum holds to the opin-
ions which he had in this matter and
which he has expressed heretofore, but
in Difference to the request and wishes
of the other two commissioners, con-
ours that no action shall be taken for
the present"
Bodeker Asks for Action
The appearance of the recorder at the
mass meeting and his subsequent action
in strike cases caused George II. Bod
eker, chief of police, to ask for an at
torney to represent the city in police
court, claiming that Wood impeded
prosecutions. Mr.. Oldham, the veteran
police officer. said it was impossible to
get convictions before Wood. That
the hearing. Wood was located by
police officers and the hearing started.
Charles H. Mandy of The Age Herald
was a witness. While the meeting was
executive, it is understood that Cap
tain Mandy informed the commissions
ers that he did not think Wood com
petent to hear the cases.
Thomas b. Sherman, also newspaper
man, testified as to what he heard the
recorder say in regard to the recent
.scab' decision. Other witnesses includ-
cd the chief of police officer, oldham.
clerk cunningham and policemen.
Judge Wood conducted his own defense,
it is said.
Exum Is Displeased
President Culpcpper Exum emphaticaly
declared that as one commissioner he
could not discharge the recorder, but that
he was in favor of doing so at once. He
reiterated a previous statement that he
wanted a man on that job and one that
is not biased. and enc who does not i'm
pede prosecutions" The commiss On
president said tha, only through respect
for Judge Lane had he refrained from
issuing an extensive review of the whole
situation and showing the exact facts IN
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-05-25


For the strikers to return to work
pending an investigation by the state
board of arbitration. was the sugges-
tion made yesterday by several leading
citizens to men known to be in SYM
pathy with the strikers in this city.
At meeting in the office of Judge
A. Q. Lane, it was suggested that in
the interest of peace and the welfare
of the city it would be just for the
workmen to return to their places
without delay and permit the state
board to investigate their differences.
The board of arbitration will meet to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock. 1t is
composed of Gen. K. W. Rucker, Presi-
dent G. II. Denny of the University of
Alabama and James B. Drake of this
city, well known union man.
The conference yesterday was un-
productive of any agreement. 1t was
stated that nothing could be done at
this time and that while it was ex-
pected other meetings would be held
yet no definite time had been set for
such action. Judge Lane, 1t Is under
stood, summoned the following well
known men to his office, where he
talked to them with MI EXum and
Mr. Weatherly:
w. P. G. Harding, president of the
First National bank and of the Cham
Der of Commerce. e. Il. Enslen, presi
dent of the Jefferson County Savings
bank; w. w. Crawford, president Of
the American Trust bank; James Bow
ron and Contractors Lockhart, Con-
ner and Bostick Attorneys White
Gibson and Ben Davis represented the
unions. They are attorneys for the
union organization here.
Hold Executive Session
They conferred for three hours, dur
ing which time the state law was
looked into and the state board of ar
bitration was discussed at length.
Finally James Bowron was the first
to emerge. He said that he had hopes
but that no agreement had been
reached. Within a few minutes the re-
naming members of the conference
came out. The commissioners went to
the office of Mr.. Exum, where the
wood hearing was resumed and this
statement was made by Mr. Gibson:
There is absolutely nothing to give
out. The meeting was unproductive of
results, but IL may be possible to do
something later on. can only say that
in my opinion w. P. G. Harding OF
the First National bank has done more
to get us together than any one man.
He has displayed a remarkably con-
.s1derate friendship and I want to pub
licly thank him for his action.
We made no definite engagement
for another meeting. However, L take
1t that there will be some subsequent
conference on this matter"
G. I. Stafford, secretary of the con-
tractors association said.
Three OF our members met at Judge
Lanes office by invitation as individ-
uals not representing the association.
''The work being carried on by our
members is progressing satisfactorily.
'"rhe contractors association stands
where it always has on the question
Nothing to arbtrate.'
