GREEN BACK FROM
MEETING AT MOBILE
Great Enthusiasm Manifested Among
Furniture Men When OrgaMza-
ton Is Formed

c. w. Green, president Of the Birming-
ham Retail Furniture Dealers associa-
ton. returned yesterday morning from
Mobile, where he went Thursday for the
purpose of assisting in the organization
of the Mobile Furniture Dealers assocla-
ton. He says great enthusiasm was man.
Tested by furniture men and piano deal
ers In the Gulf City in the proposal OF an
organization and practically every firm IN
the two lines in the city became members.
w. III. Monks was elected president OF
the body: Mr.. Hudson, vice president,
and Mr.. Evans. secretary-treasurer. An
executive committee appointed by the
president will practically manage the as
socia TONS affairs. Committee on finances,
legislative committee and the vigilance
committee also were appointed by the
president.
Mr.. Green predicts the Mobile associa-
ton will be one of the lvest In the
United States.
Regarding the local association. Mr.
Green says 1t is doing excellent work and
IL now in better condition from every
viewpoint than at any other time since
Its organization. He says the spirit OF
cooperation on the part of the members
has reached stage Of efficiency hither-
to unknown.

that the only excuse for the ordinance
Is to guard the public against fraud by
bakers making sloaves of smaller size than
the price of flour would justify.
This they claim is an utter impossibility
on account of competition our plan is
that the city compel every baker to brand
every loaf he makes with its weight, that
weight to be kept under the surveillance
of the city inspector of weights and meas
ures,'' said Mr.. Cowden. Then you might
reasonably ask that If -four should so
back to IS per barrel. what would compel
the bakers to make a 14-ounee loaf again? ?
Competition among bakers here, or most
| any other city for that matter, is so keen
that just as soon as flour decreases in
price. some bakers In order to get more
business would increase the size of their
loaf. Do You suppose any housewife, with
all tho loaves plainly branded as to their
size, would take the smaller sized loaf?
Consequently. just as soon as flour comes
down all bakers will Immediately increase
the size of their loaf correspondingly in
order to meet competition, assuming for
the sake of argument that they were dis
honest and would not do 1t otherwise"
There are only five or six cities In
the entire United States which are now
attempting to regulate the size of a
loaf of bread said William Fisch, vice
president of American Bakeries Candy
company. ut has proved failure every
where The only ordinance in this re-
speet that would be fair would be one
| on sliding scale SO that the size of the
loaf could be adjusted to the price of
-four and such an. ordinance would be
so intricate and involved that 1t would
| become impractical in enforcement
There are many ways in which the
existing ordinance works hardship.
| If bakers are compelled to raise the
price of bread instead of decreasing the
size to meet such circumstances as now
confront us, perhaps we would have to

Bread prices In Birmingham in all prob
ability will increase this week unless
some action is taken by the city commits
sion.
At present Birmingham bakers are sell
ing a 14-ounce loaf at cents. All of
them who were seen yesterday declared
emphatically that to do so longer will
mean bankruptcy on account of the high
price of -four.
They cannot reduce the size OF the loaf
on account of the city ordinance regu-
lating this matter; therefore they must
increase the price. An increase in price
has been held off as long as possible, It
was stated yesterday. on account of hopes
that the majority of the city commission
would agree to repeal the bread ordi-
nance. Bakers say. however. that with
flour at its present price of s7.S5. crisis
has come and they must meet it,
The ordinance compelling bakers to
make 14-ounce loaf was drawn up on a
basis of IS flour. That is admitted by the
city commissioners" said r. C. Thomp-
son, manager of the American Bakeries
Candy company, yesterday. Now -four
has increased in price practically SO per
cent or over. and we are still compelled
to make the same size loaf Our only
recourse is an increase in price"
That the bread ordinance is useless as
far as it gives protection to the public,
and that its only effect is one of hard
ship on both the bakers and the public, Is
the opinion expressed by o. f. Cowden
of the Martin Bakery company, and con-
CURED In by other bakers. They state

private John Allen of Tupelo. Miss.
is in the city. He arrived yesterday
en- route home from the east and
stopped over to have few words with
friends here and to relate to them a
few of his newest stories. Mr.. Allen
v as a luncheon guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walker Percy at the Tutwiler yester
day and later in the afternoon enjoyed
the companionship of Henry 3. Gray,
Culpepper Exum, George r.. Knox, Jr.,
d. F. Turnbull, Maj. w. r. Tebnetts
and others at round table in the
Tutwiler dining room.
About that table there were constant
witty exchanges and a never ending
stream of stories from Private" John
and others. Mr. Allen said he did not
think the country was on the brink
of destruction and even so there was
no one present to give the situation a
shove. He said that the fish hatchery
at Tupelo. which contributed at Its
foundation to the fame of Mr. Allen
as wit, was getting along nicely and
vowed the water was just as wet az
in the old days and that the fish could
swim just as well and with no less
grace than before the war.
Mr.. Allen said that he deplored the
European war very much but that just
now it was far from being settled. He
Lased his opinion upon the extent OF
the countries involved and gave it al
his opinion that the continuation OF
the war until 1t was definitely and
finally settled would eventually be

WILL OUTLINE PLANS
FOR CROP CAMPAIGN
AT MEETING MONDAY
Women and Boys Will Have
Leading Part in the
Work - Meetings
in Schools

Plans for the great farming and live
stock campaign to be carried on in
Alabama In February will be outlined
at meeting of many of the leading
men of the state at the Tutwiler hotel
| tomorrow at noon
Bankers, merchants. farmers, state
officials and secretaries of Chambers of
Commerce have wired p. q. Shook.
president of the Birmingham Chamber
of Commerce. that they will be present
at this meeting and cooperate to the
fullest extent in making the campaign
OF greater benefit to the state than any
other movement ever started here. The
meeting will take the form of a
Dutch luncheon" but further than this
no funds Of any kind will be asked from
snybody
The meeting is simply to outline the
work" said William p. Redd, chairman
of the general committee. 'and start
it with enthusiasm that will spread to
every part of the state This is a great
work and Alabama can make this cam
paign the most notable and beneficial
in the entire history of agricultural de-
velopment."
Mr.. Redd said that those counties
that want to be included in the cam.
'paign itinerary should send In petitions
to w. C. Radcliffe. secretary of the
sBirmingham Chamber or Commerce.
The business men and farmers should
hold meetings in the various towns"
he said, and decide if they want this
campaign to cover their section. II they
n en- q will he
10 explain the plan of the work, help
map out schedule and organize for
tho meetings. The only expense will be
in advertising the meetings properly
and in providing board and lodging for
the campaign men while they are in
the county, day or two days"
Main Object of Campaign
The main object of the campaign is
to aid the people of the state to get
away from the one-crop system, to raise
their own food and feedstuffs, to have
more and better live stock more legu-
minous crops to build up the soil and
to keep at home the money that is 60
ing to other states for the necessities
of life. The women and the boys and
girls will have leading part In the
campaign. There will be women lectur-
ers who will talk on m-home con-
veniences, sanitation. gardens, canning
and other topics that are of interest to
women. A large number of the meetings
will be held in schools and the children
will be shown how interesting and prof
1 liable are such things as chickens and
pigs. The basis of this special work in
the schools is the belief that the future
prosperity of the FARMS depends upon
/ the practical education of the children
of this day.
At the general meetings farming
problems will be discussed by leading
farmers of this and other states who
have made a success of farming and
| live stock raising. The eradication OF
} the cattle tick and the prevention of
hog cholera will be leading topics.
& Dairying, chicken raising, grains and
legumes, better marketing facilities.
gardens and other subjects will be dealt
+. with in a practical way.

50, OOO-TON STAG
ORDER IS PLACED
Birmingham Stag Co. viii Supply
That Tonnage to Railroad, Ac-
cording TO Announcement

An order for $4,000 tons Of Stag was
given the Birmingham Stag company
by local railroad, according to an an
ncuncement yesterday in local railroad
ircles. 1t was stated yesterday that
the Stag business had been extreme
ly lean during the past few months
and the booking of an order for such
tonnage from one line. the name Of
y hich was withheld, was the reason for
unusual optimism yesterday. During
the, last few days 1t is stated the pur-
chasing agents for local lines have
started a modest buying movement
which, while not materially affecting
the operation of trade. has at the same
time done a great deal to strength the
belief of local men that business was
returning to normal.

BAKERS SAY THEY ARE FORCED TO RAISE
PRICE OF LOAF OF BREADBY FLOUR PRICES

raise the wholesale price but a half
cent. but the consumer would have to
pay cent more because no grocer
could handle such an article on q price
involving a half-cent, as ii would be
impractical to make change; so that X
we raise a half-cent, a grocer must raise
a cent.
ION the other hand, -four prices f1uc-
tuate so much that 10 meet 1t we can
change the size of a loaf one ounce,
an ounce and a half or two ounces.
while to change tho price a change of
one-cent must be made either way,
which Is equivalent to about two
ounces of bread. This may seem a small
matter But 1t is not small matter to
many bread consumers. Bakers bread
is used more by the poor people than
by the very rich, and they are the people
affected. A dime Is practically gone IL
housewife has to break II to pay s
cents for loaf of bread. The remain
ing pennies always have q faculty of
escaping.
I'VE bakers are honest and sincere
in this matter. We object to the ordi-
nance only because 1t Is a burden and
a hardship on us as well as the con-
sumers."
City Commissioner A. o. Lane Is In
favor of allowing the bakers to reduce
the size of the load. He states, II they
are right in their contention that they
cannot do business at the present prices
of flour under the existing ordinance,
and he added that he believes from
evidence in the matter he has seem that
their contention is right.
1t is understood that President George
Ward of the city commission declines
to consider the matter on account of his
interest in a local bakery firm.
Bakers throughout the country, &C
cording to Associated Press dispatches,
are taking steps to meet the high prices
of flour.

OFFICIALS INSPECT
WORK ON LOCK II
Tennessee Co., Pratt Co. and
Alabama Co. Officers
Make Trip

More than usual interest was aroused
in industrial circles yesterday by a
trip of executive officers of the Ten
nessee Coal. Iron and Railroad COM
pany, the Alabama company and the
Pratt Consolidated Coal company to
lock II. Several engineers represent
ing the three companies accompanied
them. The party went out over the
Ensley Southern to Maxine and from
that point to lock II, which is being
rapidly completed They secured a
launch at the lock and went to Tus-
oaloosa, returning to Birmingham via
the Alabama Great Southern No state
ment was made as to the significance
of the trip. 1t was stated that the trip
was made by the officials more out OF
interest in seeing the developments
there rather than on account Of any
company interest that might be crc-
sted by water transportation in this
state
1t Is firmly believed in industrial
circles that the completion of lock ~
will mean more for Birmingham than
perhaps any other thing under Way.as
this time. The lock will place water
Transportation almost within a stone
throw of Cordova and Will also make
1T possible for the operations OF the
