'AUSTR|ANS WORKING AT WIRE MILL HAVE NOT BEEN LEI OUT Claims of Detroit Hungarian Proved to Be With
 out Basis PUBLISHED IN THE
 NEW YORK TIMES Alleged Action Here Said to Have In- cited Warm to Stir Up Dumba. Nothing Done at Either
 Ensley or Fairfield

Under a Detroit date line the New York Times of Sundays issue carries a story to the effect that William Warm, the Hungarian editor. who is supposed to have been the author of the memorandum on methods of crip- bling munitions plants indorsed by Ambassador Dumha. was inspired to start his campaign by an alleged wholesale discharge of Hungarians from the wire mill at Ensley or rather Fairfield. The same authority states that Warm was a factor only second to Ambassador Dumba in the effort to cripple munitions industry and that he antedated tho ambassador in &C., t1vity.
 z. Zaley of the Toledo Hungarian Is quoted a. saying that Warm start ed his campaign by an alleged incl dent in Alabama. The following is Zaleys statement as published in the Times:
 Tn Ensley, Ala.." says zaley, "the
  working there were discharged. They were working at the mill of the Ten- ressee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany. which Is turning out big ship ments of barbed wire for the allies in Europe. It was cruel thing to do and I think started all this trouble.
 The article goes on to say that Warm took the Alabama affair as a grievance and thereafter expressed the view that the only way to win the war vas to cause strikes in the munitions plants.
 An investigation of the alleged dis charge of Autro- -Hungarians at the wire mill proved the report absolute ly groundless, officials stating that no whotsale discharge of any class had taken place, but on the other hand they were employing men almost every day. It was also pointed out that the Ten neesec company does not manufacture wire. this product being made at the American Steel and Wire company . plant. Officials of the latter plant de- clared the statement a fabrication throughout.

J. Warren Wray Has Sold Output of His Mine for
 Several Years
CLAY COUNTY VEIN
 IS g MILES LONG
Alabama Power Co. Building Power Lines to Territory in Order to Fa- cilitate Development = Alabama
 Deposits Second Only to Ceylon

Graphite mining Is enjoying an un. ent, owing to the prolonged duration of the European war.
 This was the crux of statement of J. Warren Wray, a former government ex- pert of the United States geological sur vey, who visited Birmingham yesterday and who was the guest of Assistant Post master Edward R. Norman at the News paper club. Mir. wray Is president of the Queenalda Graphite company in Clay county.
 According to MT. wray. Alabama ha and the vein that has been located in east Alabama in Clay county, near Linevi,le, Is estimated to be 32 miles long and con tains enough graphite to supply the worlds demand for the present genera ton. Furthermore. MT. Wray says that the graphite market, which had been stag nant prior to the outbreak of the Euro pean war has suddenly been stimulated to unprecedented activity There is now great and growing demand for this mineral and the large Alabama deposits are now due to be exploited and thereby increase the wealth of the state
 Graphite, as is wei, known, is used in the making of pencils. but the great Eu- ropean war has brought forward the use Of graphite in the making of munitions The busy munitions plants of the country are now calling for large amounts If graphite for immediate delivery, and 1t is conservatively stated that the present de- mand is greater than the supply.
 MT. Wray's mine is situated several miles from the railroad, but he has man. aged to build macadam road and the graphite is hauled to the railway in au- tomoble trucks. It is also stated that the Alabama Power company has thought the graphite mining situation of sufficient importance that it is building several power lines to convey electricity to the developers of the graphite deposits in east Alabama.
 Other than the great Alabama deposits, graphite Is only secured in large auanti- ties from the island of Ceylon.. It Is thus pointed out by experts that Alabama Is naturally bound to profit greatly by this boom in the graphite industry, as to pro- cure this mineral from Ceylon Is almost impossible at the present, while what is mined in Alabama can be shipped every where.
 MT. wray returned to Queenalda yester- day to look after his interests. He stated that undoubtedly the European war would last several years and incidently that the entire output of his mine had been pur- chased for a long term of years.

REPORT IS HEARD 0N EXTENDING SERVICE .OF CITY LIGHT PLANT
Would Cost $12,OO0 to Ex- tend Lines to City Hall and Install New Gen.
 erating Machine

A brief session of the city commission CTS was held yesterday afternoon al which the proceedings of the morning conference of the commission were adopt ed including the reference to the city en- gineer of proposition to install the nec- essary machinery at the municipal plant at North Birmingham in order to supply the city with current to light its streets, parks, public buildings and to sell current to private consumers.
 preliminary report on this proposition was made by w. H. Abernathy, who esti- mated the cost of installing the necessary machinery to be about $12,ooo. This was referred to City Engineer Julian Ken drick, and at the meeting yesterday Com- missioner Weatherly made a motion call ing for report from the city engineer, which was adopted.
 A delegation from the Birmingham Trades Council appeared before the com mission to present resolutions passed by the council last Sunday requesting the commission not to make any further con tract with the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company in reference to lights, and urged the extension of the municipal plant owned by the city Com missioner Weatherly stated 1t was not necessary for any light contract to be made as the city had the right to regu- late the electric light rates by ordinance and that the extension of the municipa plant was already before the commission The Trades Council delegation was com posed of J. B. Woods, chairman; R. L. ID Conley and Henry Lake.
 The preliminary report of the city en' gineer's department giving the cost O. the extension of the line to Capitol park and the estimated cost of further exten- sions follows
 Hon. James Weatherly. City:
 Dear Sir-The line extension to Capitol park has been completed. which extends from Twenty-flfth street to West Twen- tieth street, and from Sixth to Eighth avenues, supplying IA street lights and u white way posts. We have two lines, one for incandescent. and the other for arc.
 The following is the cost of the above extension: Extra labor, ss5 .s2; poles and material, $403 .79; wire $274: total, $763 6l : reducing your lighting contract with the light company s1030 per annum- This line could be extended to the city hall for 3S6O by setting poles down Nineteenth street I suggest to you that you make an appropriation to install another en- zine and machine at an early date as possible, and also make further ex- tensions to these lines, so that we can light the entire Northside from Nine teenth street to Thirty-fifth avenue. and from Sixth avenue. north. It will be nec- essary to buy another machine whether any extension is made or not, as we only have one old belt-driven generator that can maintain service. therefore some ar rangement should be made for the pur- chase of electric current from some con- pany or the above installation. Estimated cost of the extension and machine be- tween 5000 and $12000.
