SHORTAGE OF COAL
CARS TO Be RELIEVED
Exodus of Negroes Not Seri-
GUS at This Time, States
Coal Operator

Within 80 days, the first cars ordered by
the Louisville and Nashville railroad to
relieve the shortage of coal hoppers will
be engaged in the service. This is the
information that the high officials of the
Louisville and Nashville gave the Biz
mingham coal operators, according to G.
B. Mccormack, president of the Pratt
Consolidated Coal company.
"The report to the Alabama Coal OPP
orators association said that some Of the
coal hoppers ordered by the Louisville
and Nashville railroad would be ready
for use in 80 days." Mr.. Mccormack said.
IT was not informed of the number or
dered.'
us the exodus of the negro laborers
to the northern states being felt by the
industrial interests here?" was asked.
"If the coal mines were running at
full time, there would be a severe short
age of labor in this district Mr.. Nc
Cormack stated. But under the existing
conditions that are due to the dearth
of cars there is material shortage OF
laborers There Is no doubt but that
hundreds of negroes have been shipped
to the northern states. They have been
lured their by attractive offers, which
are not fulfilled. A great number or ne
groes are needed there inaSmuch as the
Pennsylvania railroad is in want OF sec
ton hands, and new coal fields nave
been opened up in Kentucky. Much of
foreign labor formerly employed is lack
ing.
But, in the north, the negro is getting
no more work than is available here.
These miners who left have been replaced
by the laborers who have come from the
farming districts Of the state and con-
sequently they are not adept or trained
in coal mining. This lack of training has
been a handicap to the operators.
The Louisville and Nashville, accord
ing to reliable information, has ordered
5000 freight cars. OF this number, 1870
were to the Pressed Steel company The
others will be constructed in the shops
of the railroad, the manufacturers fur
nishing the steel frames.

Practically assured that Birmingham
would have the opportunity of having
the evangelist Billy" Sunday for a Sc
ries of meetings early in 1918, w. NJ.
Cosby and w. S. Stallings, members of
the committee who went to Detroit to
interview Mr.. Sunday, returned to Biz
mingham yesterday morning. The two
committeeman were highly pleased
with the results of their trip. The 9TH
er members will arrive in Birmingham
today, and a committee meeting will
be held Monday when plans for the
cooperation of the different Protestant
churches will be formulated.
Our committee was very much i'm
pressed with Mr.. Sunday as a man as
we'll as an evangelist" said Mr.. Stall
lings. I'VE found him an humble, mod
est man, with wonderful intellect and
a deep spiritual life. He has a party of
IA, which is the best organized evan
gelistic team in America. Mr.. Rode
haven, who is in charge of the music,
is native of Tennessee. Perhaps no
member of the party impressed the Btr-
mingham committee more than George
Sunday, son of the evangelist, and his
business manager.

a great meeting in Detroit, one of the
best that he has ever conducted. He is

Life Insurers Meet in Month
ly Session and Enjoy
Luncheon

Life insurers were cheered by the
words of DIR. Henry NJ. Edmonds and E.
w. Barrett, who addressed the monthly
meeting and luncheon of the Birmingham
Association of Life Insurers at the Tut
wiler yesterday.
DR.. Edmonds spoke upon the theme of
honesty in business. He said that the
life insurance business was one of the
greatest in the world, in that it taught
thrift and foresight. To impress the ma
ture Of the business upon his hearers,
he reviewed the various trades in which
the people of the earth are engaged. BY
the comparisons afforded, he showed that
those people who were of most benefit to
the world sought to elevate humanity
An era of prosperity for Birmingham
and the insurance world was forecast by
Mr.. Barrett. He reviewed the struggles
Of the past few years during which bust
ness was inactive and times hard, but
said that he had implicit faith in Biz
mingham. Pointing to the vast resources
of this district, Mr.. Barrett voiced the
opinion that soon wave of good times
would sweep over the city. During his
address, he told many clever stories and
touched upon the municipal golf links.
John Cox, who was a delegate to the
national convention, recounted some in
cidents of the session at ST. Louis and
told the life insurers of the most impor-
tant action taken there. He urged all
to make plans to attend the next annual
convention in New Orleans.

ITALIAN CONVICTED
OF CUTTING GIRL HE
/. DECLARED HELOVED
No Defense Offered by
Youth Charged With AS
sault With Intent to
Murder

Frank Ross, an italian youth who is
| alleged to have attacked Annie Gertrude
Windsor, aged 10 years, with a knife at
Edgewater, a little over month ago,
was found guilty of assault with intent
to murder yesterday afternoon by jury,
in the first division of the criminal court,
presided over by Judge Harrington P.
Heflin.
Me love and buy presents for her for
one year was all the defense that Ross,
interposed to offset the evidence submitted
by the state. Even that statement was
made by Circuit Solicitor Joseph r. Tate,
who conducted the prosecution, as neither
Ross, nor his attorneys, Julius Davidson
and w. II. McCary, sought to justify the
assault in any way, except through argu-
ment to the jury. There were no wit
nesses placed on the stand by the de-
Tense.
AS soon as Judge Heflin had given his
charge to the jury, it retired and returned
within five minutes with a verdict OF
guilty. The extreme penalty for the
crime of assault with intent to murder
is % years at hard labor.
Yesterday morning the solicitors office
offered to accept plea of guilty from
Ross, if he would take a sentence
of 10 years. Ross refused this offer and
went to trial without objection. He can
not speak word OF English, and an m
terpreter was necessary for him to COM
municate with his counsel.
Ross will be sentenced this morning by
Judge Heflin.

BOARD HEARING HERE
Chairman of Local Committee
Stresses Importance of Mani
Testing Interest

The data that Birmingham will present
to the farm loan board on October 70 is
fast being marshalled by the local COM
mitteemen BY virtue Of frequent meet
ings, it is assuming shape and will be
soon complete. Oscar Wells, the chair
man of the committee, is confident that
Birmingham will make an attractive bid
before the board, and is hopeful that the
farmers Of Alabama will manifest interest
in the session.
st hope that every farmer in Alabama
who can possibly make arrangements,
will attend the joint meeting in Birming-
ham," Mr. Wells said. 1--WE have had
a number of assurances that the farm
ers will be in attendance when Birming-
hams claims are presented, but I would
stress the Importance attached to the in
terest manifested.
"While the provisions of the law will
be fulfilled regardless of this feature, a
full attendance would impress upon the
board the fact that the farmers are alive
to the benefits that may be obtained from
this legislation. The possibilities of the
farm loan act are immense, If those who
will share the benefits take advantage Of
the proffered aid.
From q selfish standpoint, Birming-
ham and Alabama ought to be we'll rep
resented. Every man who can attend
ought to como to the meeting on the date
set for presentation of our claims"

The two members of tho committee
returning to Birmingham yesterday
were optimistic over the prospects of
getting Mr. Sunday for Birmingham
They stated that they were most cor
daily received by the evangelist, and
while as his guests were shown many
kindnesses. According to Mr.. Stallings,
Birmingham will have to furnish a tab
ernacle that will seat from 10000 to
~, 900 persons. Even an auditorium of
this magnitude, it is thought, would nor
accommodate the crowds Thousands of
would come to Birmingham during the
series
Never having been in the south,
Mr.. Sunday was favorably impressed
with the prospects of coming to Bir-
mingham, as soon as it can be ar
ranged" said Mr.. Stallings. What we
will need is the cooperation of all
Protestant denominations in the Biz
mingham district, as well as the bust
ness men. In bringing Mr. Sunday to
Birmingham. it will not only be the
means for great religious development,
but will be the means of advertising
the city throughout the nation, as
nothing else could do. 1t will also bring
thousands of visitors here, which will
mean much to Birmingham"
