TRADES COUNCIL OPPOSES THE ENDORSEMENT OF FREE TEXT BOOKS AND RESTORATION OF $2 FEE AT HIGH SCHOOL

The resolution was passed by the Trades Council at a recent meeting and is based upon a sug- gested plan set out in the report of one of the subcommittees of the committed of 100 in which this matter was brought up as suggestions for retrenchment of the city's expenses.
 B. W. King, president of the council, addressed the board in behalf of the resolution, stating that while the Trades Council realized the matter was onl, In the form of a suggestion and there was little cause for alarm. at the same

time it wished to go on record as em- phatically opposed to the plan.
 There could be no harder blow struck at the working men of Birmingham. declared MT. King. ''The working man always has a struggle to make living for his family, let alone educating his children. The city has in the past helped him in this latter and if now that is to be taken away there will be serious results, for 1t will simply mean that many children will be compelled to quit school and we do not believe that the city s financial affairs are yet in such shape that to remedy them such measures will be required.
 Especially right now would such q move by the city government seriously ef- feet many homes. There are many men
 in Birmingham today out of work. The majority of them are trying to keep their children in school. All we ask is that you do not make it still harder for them t., do so. We do not believe you will, but if you do decide upon such a move we ask that you notify the Trades Coun- cil in time that we may fully present our side of the case'
 MT. King stated that it had been a hard fight to establish the system of free textbooks and abolish the tuition fee. and that all that work would be lost if the plan was now changed.
