coming the Greeters and expressed the happiness which Fairfield felt at being able to entertain them. Assistant Secre- tary Blanks Everett of the Chamber of Commerce responded on behalf of the local civic body and the Hotel Greeters.
 The trip home was made by way of the several residential sections of Bir- mingham. Different roads were chosen for the return trip in order that the Greeters might know more than one drive for an automobile party. in the event guests at their respective hotels desired information as to roads, A trip around the Norwood boulevard on the north and Chestnut Hill on the Southside. The Greeters voted the entire trip a success and thanked the officials of the Cham Der of Commerce for their kindness in arranging it.
 The idea of the trip was to inform the hotel clerks of Birmingham as to the points of interest in the Birmingham dis trict and it was thought that the best method would be to carry them on trip to all interesting points.
 'I never imagined that Birmingham was such place." said Leslie Fair child. president of the Greeters, after returning from the Greeters' excursion yesterday. MT Lutz of the American Steel and Wire company and MT. Urban of the by-product plant opened Up to us new things that We never dreamed of. It was a revelation and trip that will be of inestimable value to this community"

The local members of the Greeters' association were carried on a trip through industrial Birmingham and residential Birmingham yesterday afternoon by the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of getting first hand information about the city which all of them are boosting The party. about 50 strong. returned to their duties at 630 o'clock last night much impressed with the bigness of the city, the beauty of the residences here and the extent of the industrial opera tions in the district.
 The party left the Tutwiler yesterday afternoon at 2:S0 o'clock, going out the Third avenue road to Fairfield, where they immediately repaired to the plant of the American Steel and Wire com pany, going through the plant and see ing in the process of making the fin- ished products of steel and iron. There was great interest displayed in every thing, the Greeters asking innumerable questions about the huge and compli- cated machinery which makes the wire nails, fences and several other products of steel
 About 40 minutes was consumed in pass ing through the four-acre plant and the party hurried on to the by-product plant going en route over some of the beau

tiful residence streets of Fairfield. Many exclamations of delight were to be heard all along the route. many members of the party not having enjoyed a trip to the model industrial city before. The party proceeded down the main boule- yard from Ensley, perfectly paved and spotlessly clean. Reaching the entrance to Fairfield, the lead car turned and proceeded over the same route on the opposite side of the car line, which is lined with hedges. The remainder of the party passed in review before the occupants of the first car and then the entire party swung into the boulevard on the trip to the by-produet plant.
 It consumed about half an hour to see the sights of the by-product plant, and most of the party came out of it wearing looks of wonder They hadn't imagined that so many things could be secured from black smoke and coke.
 The FaiEtield Chamber of Commerce now took the party in hand and Presi- dent Burr Ferguson ordered all the au- tomobiles to hurry to Fairfield park where feast of watermelons awaited the party. Literature setting forth the amount of money invested at Fairfield and other things tending to show the prosperity of the city were distributed. The Greeters voted thanks to the Fair field civic body for it's kindness in en- tertaining them.
 President Burr Ferguson of the Fair field civic body delivered an address well

The above resolution was unanimously adopted at the meeting of the executive board of the Alabama Equal Suffrage as sociation held yesterday at the headquar- ters of the local association on Third ave- nue. Mrs. Solon Jacobs, president of the state association. presided. The meeting was attended by nearly every member of the executive board and every section of the state was represented. There was much important business transacted.
 The resolution in reference to the blacklisting" of certain congressman and senators as suggested by the national committee was not received with favor by the Alabama leaders of the suffrage movement, and while they are not antag- onistic to the national leaders, they are of the opinion that the ''blacklisting'' of officeholders so far as the south is con cerned is not advisable, and the commit tee votel solidly against the proposed blacklist The resolution was offered by Mrs. Oscar Hundley and seconded by Miss Amelia Worthington.
 The election of delegates to the national suffrage convention, which meets in Nashville in November, brought out the fact that many of the leaders of the equal suffrage movement in Alabama were ready to go as delegates, but as there were so many names available the pioneer members of the association gave way to the younger members. and while the dele gation consists largely of late converts to the equal suffrage cause, several of the leaders who have borne the burden and heat of the day" are among the delegates Those who were not chosen to go as dele gates expressed their willingness to att tend the convention to swell the Ala bama delegation.
 Mrs. Hundley made a report of the work of the legislative committee, and said that the campaign throughout the state for the constitutional amendment was making fine progress She said that many of the legislators had come out openly for the amendment. some were non-com- initial at this time. while very few openly opposed it.
 The delegates were elected as follows: Mrs. Solon Jacobs. Birmingham; Mrs. H.. H. Snell Birmingham; Mrs. Julian B. Parke. Selma; Mrs. s. B. Stern, Mont gomery; Miss Marian Baker, Calera; Mrs Milton Humes. Huntsville; Mrs. F. b. Losey. Tuscaloosa; Mrs. Julian H. GIL lespie, Cullman; Miss Mary Partridge. Selma Mrs Leon Well.

 We have helped to entertain she merchants of Alabama and we ad- vertise with the newspapers and help them out, too. We don't feel that the criticism is warranted. There is no combination of any kind and we feel that the civic bodies should take the matter up"

WHOLESALERS CLAIM THEY ARE UNJUSTLY
 ASK CIVIC CHAMBER TO TAKE UP MATTER

The board of directors of the Cham Der of Commerce. at their meeting yes terday morning, were. requested by Chappelle Hodges of the Cosby com pany to take up the matter of un- just criticism which was being meted out to the wholesalers by certain newspapers because of the high prices. MT. Hodges took the stand that the publication of the alleged criticisms was inimical to the best interests of the city and poor form of advertising for Birmingham.
 President Shook said that he thought Mir. Hodges view was right as re- gards the advertising Birmingham would get out of such matter. and asked what the directors would do
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-09-10

about it. The matter on motion was referred to the wholesale trade com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce with instructions to Hook into the claims of the wholesalers aiid is it was found to be true that they were unjustly criticized so to report to the directors"
 MT. Hodges in his statement to the di- rectors said: All of you gentlemen in business are familiar with thes Way business is transacted You know that we buy and sell with the market. Anyone. knows that in this kind of business (f1our and grain) we have to buy 30 days supply at a time in order to meet competition.

CAHEEN PAYS 13 CENTSF0R COTTON Will Place Bale on Exhibi- tion in Front of His
 Store

Sol Caheen of Calieen brathers an- nounced yesterday at the meeting of the Rotary club that he had bought d bale of cotton for 13 cents and would place the bale in front of his store within few days. MT. Caheen said that he did not stop at the price of 10 cents. which seems to be the figure at which cotton is being sold but that he paid 13 cents for it.
 T believe cotton is worth 13 cents" said Mir Caheen. T believe it will be worth far more than that figure with In short time. l cannot buy a great deal of cotton, but I have paid what I think is a real value for the cotton at this time. | do not expect to lose any money on the cotton that bought. I think 1t will be as safe as the savings accounts that we all indorse so heart fly. I hope that the movement in busi- ness circles to buy a bale of cotton Will result in great protection for the southern farmer and business gener- ally
