All Against New System


iEittees was strongly against the uss
OF the new system on the Birmingham
A'dil"ay' Light and Power company
cars President Ford was the ONLY
speaker in favor of the new system
Speeches were made by r. Dupont
thompson. ]. y. Dupree G. c. Ellis. d
c. Ball, G.. f. Girritt. j. NJ Hankins
lanes Walker, j. r. Sadler. c. A
Avant, W. A. Spencer. DIR. W. S. Roun.
tree, o. w. Stafford, James A. Dupuy
D. J. Flummer Robert w. Ewing ano
others
The arguments of all the speaker.
were along the general lipes which
have been the basis of the agitation
against the Inauguration of the sys.
tenn during the past week or two. TIL,
speakers all stated that the citizen.
OF their sections We're strongly opposed
to the system; believed that il would
cause race trouble; that il would b,
forcing indignities upon practically ey.
cry white person who boarded a car
and especially upon women: that the
system itself was alright, but that II
would nave to be used on other cars
such as the Tidewater uses; that tn,
negroes of Birmingham did not wani
1t nsed either; that whether or not /,
actually caused race trouble did no,
solve the question as the fact woulo
still remain that the street car com.
panN was doing something the people
die not want 1t to do
Dupont Thompson opened the meet
ing with a protest against the system
and asked that President Ford make !
statement as to what was the purpose
OF the company in inaugurating it sc
that the committees could know better
what to object to.

Agitation Causing Trouble

I'VE would like to have cars like the
Tidowater arrangement. But we can't
dispose of all our equipment at once
and secure that type of cars, which,
as matter of fact, We originated in
our trailers which We manufactured
right here in this city. If there had
been none of this agitation we would
have no trouble whatever. Since this
agitation has been started we have had
mole trouble on the lines we are us
ing it than at any time before"
President Ewing of the Board of
Trade was the only man who quail
flied his speech by saying that he had
not thoroughly Investigated the mat
ter and therefore could only ask for a
fair consideration of both sides of the
questions now.
Practically everyone of the commit
teemen made strong speechs although
they were along the same line. While
the missioners declined to discuss
The matter last night there appeared
little doubt of their action at the meet
ing today.

Ford Makes Statement


President Ward stated that he he
lieved statement from Mr.. Ford would
simplify the hearing and Mr. Ford said .
One of the reasons for our wanting
to use this system here is that we
want to handle the situation like il is
handled in other cities. This is the last
city of its size in the country to adopt
II. 1t is now being used in Atlanta,
Richmond. Memphis New Orleans, Dali
las Jacksonville and with exactly the
same type of cars as we have here
The gentlemen here will no doubt
agree with me that the system in COM
parison with any other has many mer-
Its over any other system in use 1t
seems to me that they have prejudged
the case. 1t is absurd for us to con-
denim thing because we fear what
may happen. 1t has caused no trouble
on the lines so far using It,
I'VE are very solicitous to maintain
the present good relations existing be-
tween the two races in Birmingham.
We want the friendship of the citizens
We are not trying to put anything over
OH the people. If we are shown proof
that it is not a proper and wise sys-
TEN on the present cars we will not
insist, but We do not believe such proof
can be shown
