W|LKS APPOINTED
A BANK EXAMINER
Will Sever Connection With
Birmingham Bank on
January |

Montgomery, December 6-(Special) }
Superintendent of Banks Alex E. Walker
today announced the appointment of
Richard Wilks. of Birmingham as asso-
ciate state bank examiner to succeed ].
w. Mathews, resigned. MIR. Mathews
resignation will take effect January l, at
which time Mr.. Wilks will begin his new
duties
Mr.. Mathews has been associate bank
examiner for about two years, having
come here from Huntsville. He has a
large number of friends throughout the
state and is particularly popular among
capitol officials.
Mr.. Wilks will resign a position at the
First National bank os Birmingham in
order to come with the state banking
department. He has had about IA years
experience in the banking business, and
his appointment as associate bank ex-
amner is considered a wise one from
every standpoint.

to Birmingham, which is the only way
he can help to make his property In
crease in value?
I'VE are living in an age when busi-
ness people live from hand to mouth,
so to speak. 1t used to be that mer-
chant could book his orders as much as
six months in advance. The salesman
would get an order for immediate de-
livery and another for delivery six
months later. 1t is very different now.
The retailer comes to the city, looks
over the stock and orders a weeks sup
ply. II business is good that week, he
clears, perhaps, 40 per cent and has
turned his money over, for he comes
back to the city and orders supplies
for another week. 1t takes much less
money to run a business now than it
did some years ago-for the retailer.
The wholesaler must spend just as
much money, and in many cases a great
deal more, than he used to.
This trade extension bureau should
be established to go out after the fell
lows in the Birmingham zone. 1t should
not go out into other states just now
understand that nothing has yet been
said about its going out into the field
of other cities, but in my opinion, 1t
should confine it's activities to the peo-
pie In the Birmingham territory. If 1t
gets every man in our territory to come
to Birmingham once or twice year
1t will be worth whatever is put into 1t.
Credit Men Should Organize
Another big phase of this bureau
is that of constructive collections.
believe that the credit men of the city
should organize and meet monthly or
weekly and discuss matters pertaining
to collections or the giving of credit.
This would mean much to the small
retailer, who is honest, and it would
mean the bringing of trade to Bir-
mingham. A credit man in st. Louis
cannot sit in his office and pass jlidg-
ment on the reliability of mans cred
1T. If that man lives in Alabama. But,
If we could only get this merchant to
come to Birmingham to talk with the
credit men of this city, they could
easily and quickly size him up 1t
would be the means of bringing the
customer and the dealer in closer re-
lations with each other and would make
for prosperity.
IF the wholesalers and manufactur-
ers get together and work harmonious
ly, which I am sure they will do, this
thing can be pushed through in the
right manner. Its value to Birmingham
will be almost inestimable."
Mr.. Caruthers is comparatively young
to Birmingham, having come here from
st. Louis, because, as he says, he saw

mingham field. He believes implicitly in
the future of Birmingham and is back

would be permanently discharged, but
the men hope to be able to make a polit
ical issue of their demands and to gain
the support of the large trade unions.
The government is making tentative ar
rangements to enlist the services of mill
tary telegraphers to take the place of
strikers In case of need, as the French
government did during the great railroad
strike in that country in October 1910.
The postal employees unions are Is in
number, and had a membership of $1,000
at the last report. They comprise en-
ployes of the postal, telegraphic and tele-
phonic services, all of which are controlled
by the government.

Interesting Paper on "His-

Some interesting features were set forth
IN an address by Mrs. Julia Truitt Bishop,
secretary of the Market league of Bir-
mingham, which was delivered at the
meeting of the Equal Suffrage associa-
tion yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Bishop
gave figures and facts showing that prac-
tically all of the poultry and vegetables
which are consumed in Birmingham are
brought from other states. notwithstand-
ing the fact that the same products are
raised In the Birmingham district.
She showed that 1t is almost impossible
for the small producer to sell his goods
at fair price in Birmingham, and she
states that the only way by which the
consumer can receive good value for his
money, and the producer receive what his
product is worth, is the establishment of
an adequate marketing system for Bir-
mingham.

THREATENED POSTAL
STRIKE IN ENGLAND.
WILL Be POSTPONED.
The Government Employees
Agree Not to Strike
Christmas-Report
Rejected

Leicester, England, December 6.-The
threatened strike at Christmas of the
governments 100000 postal and telegraph
employees will probably be averted, but
the movement will only be postponed as
result of the action of a conference
today in which 200 delegates representing
22,o0O members of the postal organiza-
tions, participated.
The delegates adopted a resolution re-
jecting the report of the government
commission. This favored a slight in
crease in the salaries of the employees. At
the same time they pledged themselves to
push their original demand for 10 per,
cent increase of wages throughout the
service
The strike proposal was debated at
length and the meeting finally decided to
leave the decision to a general vote of
the members of the organization. A
proposal that the postal organizations
should unite with the miners, the rail-
way men and the transport workers, was
discussed and met with much favor among
the delegates.
Want Better Conditions
The conference decided to oppose the
government candidates at all parliament
postal employees are met, and the dele
gates decided to select four delegates to
contest constituencies on the platform of
improving the conditions under which the
postal employees work.
We are very near a parting of the
ways, said Mr. Mccarthy the chairman,
in opening the conference. II hope sin
cerely the government will not persist in
forcing our hands We are going for
ward unflinchingly toward our goal
ask you to weigh we'll your words and
your decisions and when the time comes
to translate those words and those de-
cisfons into action and to act with swift
ness, determination and courage"
There has been much agitation among
the postal employees for a general strike
heaviest and most important, but today's
action of the conference makes necessary
a general vote of the employees on the
strike question, and it Is doubtful whether
a strike can be organized in time to be-
come effective by Christmas time.
The postal employees base their demands
for an increase of pay largely on the ar
gument that the postal service yields to
the government great profits in which the
workers should have larger share.
Discharge Threatened
The Postmaster General, Herbert A.
Samuel, in his last interview with the
leaders of the postal employees organiza-
tions, threatened that If there was strike

TRADE EXTENSION
Local Wholesalers Must
Cooperate
NEED BUREAU NOW
Should Go After Merchants in Bir-

ruthers-Emphasizes Trade
at Home

The wholesale men of Birmingham
continue to manifest the keenest inter-
est in the proposed trade extension
Bureau to be established by the Cham
ber of Commerce in the very near
future. Ewing Caruthers of the Caruth-
ers- Erwin Shoe company yesterday
issued a short and crisp statement when
asked as to what he thought would be
the best method of handling the mat
ter. He said: by cooperation and con-
centration on the part of the local
wholesalers" He supplemented this
statement later, however, and his re-
marks follow:
II believe that Birmingham has a
brighter future for jobbing houses than
any other city of its size in this coun-
try. That is the main reason why this
trade extension bureau should be es-
tablished at once. If we don't have this
organization we can never hope to build
up Birmingham as a jobbing center
The people of Birmingham must help
the merchants by talking Birmingham
on every possible occasion. Birming-
ham must be advertised, as l under
stand the Business Mems league does
advertise 1t, and the statesmen that
travel out of Birmingham must help.
One very effective way for them to do
this would ebe to place on the hotel
register in the town where they may
be stopping trade in Birmingham in
stead of Birmingham This would be
unique and would attract attention
Trade in Birmingham
The corporations of the country
have invested an enormous amount of
capital in Birmingham. Heretofore,
those large corporations have been buy
ing from the larger cities, which trade
rightly belongs to Birmingham. Now
the people of Birmingham are just wax
ing up and beginning to trade at home
for the reason that they can get every
thing they want the second day after
ordering it; that buyers can see just
what they are paying for. There is no
delay and prices are about equal. When
a man trades In Birmingham he helps
himself in great many more ways
than he realizes. For instance, a man
may own real estate here in the city
How does he expect Birmingham to
