RADCLIFFE GIVEN
 HIGH PRAISE BY
 CHAIRMAN BROWN
Secretary of Reunion and Manager of Chamber of Commerce Given Cred
 it for Success

To William c. Radcliffe, general secre- tary of the reunion, and general mana ger of the Chamber of Commerce, in the opinion of R. A. Brown, chairman of the reunion executive committee, is due more credit than any other person in Birming ham for the success of the reunion A statement to this effect was made by MT. Brown in letter to Secretary Rad cliffe yesterday, in which he praised the work of MT. Radcliffe in the highest terms and warmly commended him for the loyalty and efficiency with which he conducted his part of the reunion work.
 The letter from MT. Brown to MT. Radcliffe follows
 retary, United Confederate Veterans
 Reunion, Birmingham Ala:
 My Dear MT. Radcliffe: For nearly two months we have labored together for the successful promotion of the twenty sixth reunion of the United Confederate Vet erans. Previous to that time you had devoted a great deal of time in assem- bling information needful to all commit tees. This wise foresight on your part, in addition to the wonderful store of in- formation concerning all of the details, made the task of chairman which 1 oc- cupied, much easier.
 To you. in my mind, is due more credit than any other person in Birmingham for the success of the reunion. I un- qualifiedly recommend your conduct tc the good people of this community as
 an example of loyalty and patriotism sell dom excelled. You have my highest re- spect for your ability, the careful and painstaking manner in which you handled all subjects, with that uniform gentle ness to all which to me is commendable indeed.
 'In leaving the duties that have been performing, to resume my place in the firm of R. A. Brown & Co.,, take with
 me the most pleasant memories of a most
 successful association with high-toned and honorable gentleman. With these sentiments go my best wishes for your success and happiness. Yours very truly, ''R. A. BROWN, Chairman Executive Committed"

URGE COMMISSION
 NOT ID HEED THE DEMANDS 0F UNIONS
Employers Association Says Over 90 Per Cent of WOrkmen Are NOn-
 union

George T. Stafford, representing the Employers association of Birmingham, with offices in the Chamber of Commerce building, yesterday presented to The Age Herald, the following copy of letter ad- dressed by his organization to the city commissioners:
 ITO the Board of City Commissioners,
 Birmingham, Ala.
 Gentlemen: Referring to the list Of questions propounded to your board by organized labor, as outlined in this morn- ings issue of The Age-Herald. there are several reasons why you should not, could not and we believe will not obligate your selves in any way to secure their support to the various bond issues, viz:
 '1 It would be unconstitutional for you to discriminate in favor of the unions in the awarding of contracts for schools, the auditorium or any municipal bulld- ing or work.
 ''2. Would it be right or expected to ask the nonunion workmen of the city, who number over 90 per cent, to support an issue and burden themselves with taxes to raise money, when it is prearranged that they are to be barred from partici- pating in any of the benefits from the expenditure of this money, unless they join an organization whose policy is not Il
 '3. It is plain to be seen that they think these bond issues will carry, and they are trying to ride in on them-after- wards to say They made it possible by their support.
 "A. Organized labor does not control the balance of the vote in this district, and their threat could not be made effective if they desired. To show their weakness at the polls look at the recent race of J. H. F. Moseley or J. B. Wood for city commissioner, also of former City Re- corder Clement Wood. Less than 10 per cent of the wage earners of the district are affiliated with organized labor and only a few of that number are in sym pathy with the propa ganda of the agita- tors.
 "5. Birmingham is an open shop town. Only two or three shops are union or closed shops. Think of the hundreds that are open shop-the American way.
 '6. Imagine an electric lighting plant dominated and controlled by the agitator our lights out and no power to run plants if they struck. And this is what they would do, judging from past experi- ence with them and their questions would indicate.
 ''The facts that we have submitted are only few We could go on with others if we desired but we feel that it is en- tirely unnecessary, and we further feel that the commission should take no part whatever in the question of organized or unorganized labor, and not take any steps that will prevent them from being free to award contracts to the lowest responsible bidders. Respectfully sub- mitted,
 THE EMPLOYERS ASSOCIATION"

 Be it further resolved, that neither has this commission, as body, nor has any member thereof, committed itself or himself to any location or plan for an auditorium, nor does this commission by voting for the submission of this question to the voters, make any recommen- dations to the voters whatever as to site or plan. The law places the right of decision, as to bond issues, in the hands of the voters solely, and, therefore, that question is referred to the voters by the commission for de- csion.
 Be it further resolved. that if the bonds shall be authorized by a ma jority of the qualified voters of the city of Birmingham, as required by law, then this commission will pro- ceed to determine the question of To- cation, plans, cost. etc. and in the meantime,
 Be it further resolved. that no fur ther aetion be taken and no further consideration be given by this com mission relative to any plan or site for an auditorium building, until after the voters have expressed their wishes.

MAY SHOWS FINE
 POSTOFFICE GAIN
Increased Business Very Gratifying Because May Is Usually Consid-
 cred Dull Month

A gain of $9, 420.67 in postal receipts dur ing the month of May, 1916. as compared with the same month last year, was shown at the local postoffice.
 This record is considered exceptionally remarkable in view of the fact that May is usually a very dull month. The gain in May was greater than that of any month this year in comparison with the same month the year before. This in- crease is considered indicative of con tinued improvement in all lines of busi- ness. The receipts for the month of May, 1916, were $45,62549, as compared with $36, ,3S3. .S5 for the same month in 1915, the gain being approximately 26 per cent

 MAKE INDIVIDUAL ANSWERS T0QUER|ES
George Ward Makes Answer to Questions Propounded By Labor Council Sub-
 committee

It was decided yesterday without any formal conference that the city com mission. as a body, could not answer the questions submitted by the labor's CO.,
 operative and educational subcomrnit- tee on Tuesday, butthat each commits sioner would make an individual an-
 swer The commission held that as a body it could not vouchsafe a policy
 which might be binding on it's suc- cessors.
 Mayor Commissioner George B. Ward was the first of the commissioners to
 prepare an answer to the questions of
 the labor unions. His answers are direct
 and he makes the definite statement
 that the subject of wages and hours
 will be left entirely up to the con-
 tractors. The statement of Commis-
 sioner Ward follows:
 "To the Labor Cooperative Commit
 tee: In answer to the series of ques-
 tions submitted to this board, it is our
 opinion it would not be proper for the city government to commit itself, inas-
 much as it's personnel changes from
 time to time and the present body can
 not commit it's successors in matters of policy.
 However, you are entitled to an an- |swer from the present commissioners individually.
 SCHOOL BOND ISSUE "The tentative amount proposed to be expended for high schools is approx imately s5Oo,OoO; for elementary 1, schools, $1.5O0,00O.
 Answering questions three and four, l it will be my policy to try to see that the city in every instance lets all build- ling and repair work to the lowest re- sponsible bidder, just as the city does at present; preference. however, at all times being given to home workmen.
 The question of hours of work and |rate of wage to be settled by the con- tractor and workmen. Answering question one, I will say that I do not know how cheap the
 Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company buy current or how cheap the city of Birmingham will be able to furnish it. Our chief engineer esti- mates around or cents. Answering question two, it is my opinion that labor at the municipal plant should be handled just as it is at present. The men are employed on merit and selected solely for efficiency, and paid what the city considers a fair wage for their work. Answering question three, as to whether the operative department of the light plant will be kept out of politics, I beg to advise that in my opinion it should certainly be kept out of politics, whatever that means, but whether or not it will be depends en- tirely on who Is running the govern ment.
 "'The answer given above on building and repairs to school buildings applies to work on the auditorium. "In conclusion, quote from statement published May 2z when advocating all three issues.
 'The responsibility of spending s, ,000, 900 l is a tremendous one, and when it is done it will have been so done that no
 man can criticize or feel doubtful about every dollar having gone for service or | material actually rendered in an econom- | ical and businesslike way"
