CONGRESS- IS URGED
 ID PUBLISH REPORT
Shapiro Chief Speaker at Mass Meeting Held at
 Jefferson Yesterday
B, MRS. SIDNEY NJ. uLLMAN

Under the auspices of the Birmingha m Trades council, Industrial Relationship Day was celebrated by mass meeting at the Jefferson theatre yesterday after noon at o'clock
 Isidore Shapiro was the principal speaker MT. Ely presided, J. w Wood opened the meeting, Ben Davis also spoke.
 A very important report is now before Congress waiting for appropriation from that body to have it printed, so that this report will be accessible to the peo- pie of this country. This document is the report of the industrial relations com mission.
 To the end that Congress may be urged to print this report, labor unions and trades councils all over. the United States set aside Sunday, January 25 to speak of the report, and urge the people to get their representatives in Congress to vote for the appropriation.
 MT. Shapiro spoke at length on the report itself it's value and it's necessity for being in the hands of every working man and woman of the country. He
  trict were assembled to echo the protest against industrial feudalism. that teu- dalism found to exist in regard to the commission on industrial relations. lie said he was to speak on a dry subject, but so was unbuttered bread dry, and to get the butter you have to listen.
 Mir Sha apiro defined the report and said that it found four principal causes for industrial unrest, as follows:
 First-Unjust distribution of wealth and income; second, unemployment and the denial of a right to work for a living third, denial of justice in framing, ad- ministration and execution of laws; fourth, denial of the right and oppor- tunity of effective organization.
 Mir Shapiro spoke at length on the find- ings of the report in regard to the Col orado situation, speaking of them as the most impressive revelations and the most revolting serfdom ever known of in this country.
 Resolutions were passed to be sent to the House and Senate supporting the measure to have the appropriation made for the printing of -@,,000 copies of the report and 10000 copies of the testimony taken by the commission

One Hundred Feet of Four Foot Gas Main Totally
 Destroyed
DEPORTATION HEARD
 ALL OVER DISTRICT
Much Excitement Caused by Acci- dent-The Furnace Will Be Out of Commission for
 Sometime

| An explosion which occurred last night at 1O17 o'clock at Thomas furnace No 1, caused by gas in one of the mains lead ing from the furnace to the boilers, in- jured two white men and three negroes The injured;
 Jack Jones: hand badly lacerated bruised about body
 T. Beel, right leg crushed bruised about arms and face
 Steve Reagin, negro; right foot blown off, arm badly lacerated. Two unidentified negroes; injured about face and hands. .--r The explosion caused considerable eX- citement all over the ctiy, and espe- cially in Pratt City and Ensley. It was thought that some part of the steel plant might have been blown up. Hundreds of people Hooked about the Thomas fur nace when it was learend that there had been an explosion at this place.
 According to a statement made by Su- perntendent J. T. Motion, the exact cause of the explosion is unknown. It is known that gas in one of the mains leading to the furnace was directly responsible for the explosion. but it is not known how it became ignited. The explosion occurred near the engine room, and the force of it tore out one side of the building. The main was blown up for space of 100 feet and portions of it were hurled for half a mile. One large piece of the main struck a negro shack 100 yards away and com pletely demolished it. Had the break in the main occurred at any other place, several might have lost their lives. The detonation of the explosion was heard for miles around. The first report of it was sent in by a person living in North Birmingham.
 The explosion will cause No. 1 furnace to be out of commission for sometime A crew of men were put to work as soon as the injured men were removed, and the damage will be repaired at once.

IDEAL WEATHER BROUGHT MANY
 ID OAVONDALE ZOO
Miss Fancy" Was the Gen. ter of Attraction and Per- formed Admirably for
 the Little Ones

With the spring, young mans fancy lightly" etc.
 The above line was oft quoted yes terday by usually prosaic husbands to usually prosaic wives, as they wended their way to the numerous parks of Birmingham, wheeling the young ones. and leading the slightly older ones, and observing the hundreds of young cou- ples making for the same parks
 For it was spring,
 The morning began with a cloudl less sky. and just a suspicion of frost yet clinging to mother earth. The rising sun soon dispelled this last harbinger of winter, and Old Sol climbed high CT into the heavens, the day unfolded as beautiful rose, and was full blown in the afternoon. Thousands of Bir mlnghamians cooped up for two weeks while the God of Ice and Snow reigned supreme, took advtange of the day and sallied forth, clad in glad raiment.
 The zoo was, perhaps, the most popu- lar park in all Birmingham, although the gathering at Capitol park was not by any means small. The streets in the downtown section were thronged with people however.
 Miss Fancy" the children's elephant at the zoo. was astonished to have so
 
 of visitors in January is decidedly out of the ordinary. However, she met the occasion, and performed admirably for the little ones, who insisted on giving her all the peanuts sine could eat for one time.
 The wadng pond at the Avondale zoo was a great attraction for the kid dies and many mothers were frantic when their offspring made efforts to get into the water Predictions of dire happenings had little effect, for the children believed spring had arrived and that it was perfectly proper to wade
 Teddy" the bear, came out of his hole, and plead piteously for atten- tion, and incidentally, peanuts, apples bananas or anything generous child hood would bestow. He received the att tention, a few apples, and the peanuts that remained after Miss Fancy's' feast.
 Porch swings did not fully come into their own last night, but many cou- pies have arranged to have the swings in position before next Sunday after noon, hoping the day will be as beau- tiful- as was yesterday.

.DR. EDMONDS HAS
 LARGEST AUDIENCE
 AT LYRIC THEATRE
Enormous Crowds Attend Both Services Yesterday. Sunday School Breaks
 It's Record

The Rev Dr. II. M. Edmonds of the largest congregation, at the Lyric last night, that has gathered in the theatre since the downtown services were inau- gurated. More than 1900 persons were in the audience, and he was given close at tention as he spoke from the text in Philippians:
 Forgetting those things which are be- hind.''
 His plea was that his hearers forget past failures and wrongdong that they blot out the remembrance of them, and start with a clean slate. At the close of the sermon several signed cards in- dicating their interest and a desire to know more of spiritual things. At the morning service in Temple l Emanu-El the congregation was nearly as large that which gathered at the initial service of the new church. Nearly a hundred chairs were brought in by the ushers, in order that all might be seated. A feature of the service was the pres ence of jury which had become hung up' in one of the courts. The 12 men had decided to hear Dr. Edmonds, and they came, accompanied by two deputies. They were given seats together in the gallery, and gave close attention to the eloquent address. ~
 At the close of the morning service, r members were received by the session, some by letter and others on profession of faith.
 A new attendance record was made by the Sunday school, which showed 19S per- sons present A campaign for new mem- bers of the school is being worked, and gratifying increases have been noted dur ing the last month.
 Decided interest is being shown in the Wednesday night service, which is an in formal gathering for all members of the church and others who may wish to come. The meeting of this week will be con- ducted by Rabbi Newfield, of Temple EmanuEl, who will speak to the theme
 'Symbolisms of the Jews" His address will be illustrated

PLAN BUS LINE
 TO CENTRAL PARK
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The people of the Central Park district realize that the traffic on the North Bes- semer car line has greatly increased. and that the means for accommodating the passengers are inadequate. Many times they have to stand and wait 30 to 60 min utes before they can get car to take them to their destination The people are aware of the fact that they are entitled to better schedule and have repeatedly asked for 15-minute service, but this seems to have been ignored.
 So, in order to meet the congested con- ditions, there is company being formed to establish a jitney bus line from Bir- mingham to vinesville. Petitions are quietly being circulated among the people getting them to pledge themselves to pat ronize and help to support this line.

 As the prisoners faced the rifles of the firing squad, with eyes unbandaged Ber- nardo shouted:

"We want to hurry up and have it over' said Bernardo in growl, answer ing the question of an American. There is nothing to say except that I killed the American and am willing to die. We thought the Americans were trying to rob us and that they were armed. The peace officer with them had no warrant to search our place. But hurry up and have it over"

UNFORTUNATE ATTITUDE


 golden egg.
 UNFORTUNATE ATTITUDE T think it would be extremely unfor- tunate if Mobile, just as the river is about to be used, should levy any kind of tax on up-river freight" said George Me Cleery. "It appears to me that this would be very short-sighted policy. As al mat ter of fact, it would simply result in keep ing Mobile wholesalers from shipping their goods to the cities up the river and would certainly force the people of the towns and cities up the stream to make their purchases in New Orleans, where no such tax is charged.
 T understand that some of the towns along the river are now buying large quantities of goods in Mobile for shipment by water every week. The difference in cost by water transporta ton from New Orleans is so small as to be inconsequen- tial and should Mobile levy any wharf tax, it is highly probable that these goods would in the future come from New Orleans.
 T am afraid that the levying of this tax would have a bad effect on our ef- forts here in Birmingham to begin the use of the river. While it would not affect goods going down the stream, it would probably prevent firms in this dis trict from having goods shipped by water
 
 rates between Birmingham and eastern points have been raised recently and it is very important that nothing be done to increase the charges for water transpor- tation to this city. I hope the city con- mission of Mobile will consider the effect such a tax would have and will not make this mistake
 Frank Fitts of Tuscaloosa a prominent business man of that place. was of the opinion that Mobile would be injured by this tax more than any other point
 "A number of the wholesale houses and some of the retail firms of Tusca loosa are now buying large quantities of goods in Mobile and having them shipped up the river" said MT. F'tts "If this tax is put on it would probably result in these same orders going to New Orleans.
 Tuscaloosa business men are deter mined to use the river, and if Mobile will not treat river traffic fairly, 1t is prob able that New Orleans will gain what the Alabama seaport loses. The river, despite the lack of facilities, has been proved to be big advantage to the people of Tus- caloosa. This river traffic is just in it's infancy. and 1t would be very unfortu- nate if Mobile should attempt to interfere with its development.
