chief reasons for the failure of McLougl

The playing of Roberts, the YOUTH

ORDINANCE
WILL Be DISCUSSED
AT MEETING TODAY
Commissioner Barber to
Present Figures on Profits
of Fire Insurance Com
panies for Many Years

Those for and against the anti
single ordinance will appear before
the commission this afternoon at 8
o'clock to discuss whether the present
ordinance shall be repealed or
amended.
A large crowd is expected to be on
hand to go into the merits and de-
merits of the wooden single The in
surance men have prepared to intro
duce strong argument in favor OF
the present ordinance which prohibits
roofs or roofs to be repaired which
have deteriorated as much as % per
cent.
Commissioner Barber, who advo-
Gates the use of wooden shingles,
stated last night that he was pre-
pared to give some facts about the
underwriters. He stated that he had
heard rumors to the effect that if the
commission adopted an ordinance al
lowing the use of shingles and re-
pealed the present ordinance, a pen
atty OF 10 per cent would be placed
on those wishing fire insurance.
Regardless of whether or not the
insurance people do this I intend TAX
ing some action to declare them a trust
and operating in defiance of the fed
eral, state and city laws" said Mr.
Barber. Il shall present some fig
ures that are conclusive proof of the
enormous profits fire insurance peo-
pie have participated in for many
years. From 1897 to 1909, inclusive,
the losses of all the insurance COM
pan1es operating in Alabama were $15,-
So6,396. The premiums were $2S,-
1sS,605. The minimum rate during
that time was $3.50 per hundred and
the maximum s193.
From 1880 to 1914, inclusive, the
average rate for the whole United
States was $1.08. The insurance COM
panies paid 55 cents out for losses on
every dollar collected In Alabama for
the same period the average rate per
hundred was $1.62. The losses paid by
the fire insurance people amounted to
"a cents on every dollar collected.
What l am after and what 1 intend
to accomplish is to make the insur-
ance rates in Birmingham equitable. I
believe I have the cooperation of the
commissioners in this matter These
figures show that Alabama's rate was
46 cents higher than the rest of the
United States, although we cost the
insurance companies in losses / cent
less on each dollars worth of insur-
ance premiums collected. I want to
know why and 1 intend to find out"

HUGHES DEFENDS
HIS POSITION ON
LABOR QUESTION
Candidate Quotes Union
Organ in Effort to Show
His Friendship for
Working Man

Sacramento, Cal, August 2z-Cnaries
E. Hughes. before an audience in the
armory here tonight, declared for an adj
equate compensation law providing COM
pensation to persons injured in hazard
Gus empleyments engaged in interstate
commerce.
Mr.. Hughes also spoke of labor legisla-
ton enacted under republican admins
tr&tions.
I'VE have had a remarkable record of
achievement in the interests of fair leg
islation under republican auspices" the
nominee declared. II desire to see leg
islation of that character and every rea-
sonable sort for the protection of labor
enacted, to the end that there may be
feeling through this country that
justice is being done.
Il desire to see our wasteful system
of negligent actions replaced by proper
compensation laws. The bill before Con-
gress deals only with government en-
ployes. In my judgment there should be
an adequate compensation act dealing
with this, subject to the supervision of
Congress, in hazardous employments in
interstate commerce.
II had an interesting experience as
governor of New York. When left that
office to go upon the bench what l am
about to read appeared in the official
organ of organized labor in New York.
This is what that organ said in October,
1910, and 1 read it in order that there
may be no misapprehension as to my at
titude.'
Mr.. Hughes read as follows:
Now that Governor Hughes has re-
tired from politics and assembled to a
place on the highest judicial tribunal in the
world, the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybody's political corns
that he was the greatest friend of labor
that ever occupied the governors chair
at Albany. During his two terms he has
signed sc labor laws, including among
them the best labor laws ever enacted
in this or any other state RE also
urged the enactment of labor laws in his
message to the legislature, even going
so far as to place the demand for a
labor law in one of his messages to an
extra session of the legislature"
Mr.. Hughes repeated his attack on the
administration for it's Mexican policy, re-
iterated his argument for protective
tariff. for adequate preparedness and
stated his views on the maintenance
abroad of American rights.

TO ABOLISH
COMM|SS|ONFORM
OF GOVERNMENT
Petitions Are Being Circu-
lated to Call Election Seek
ing the Adjustment of
City Commission

An effort to abolish the commission
form of government in Birmingham is TO
be made and petitions to that effect are
already being circulated. Horance G.
wilkinson. a well known local attorney
who is fathering the movement, an
nounced last night that he was confident
the required number of qualified voters
would sign the petitions to bring about
the election on the subject. He stated
that he had personally circulated one
petition in a local office building and
had secured many signatures and that
others would be scattered throughout the
city and suburbs today and during the
week
Some question was raised as to the
legality of the proceedings which will
have to be taken under an act of the
legislature approved September Is, 1915.
1t was contended by some that the pro-
visions of the act did not apply to cities
of over 5000 population and that no.
election could be called for this purpose
in Birmingham. However, Mr.. Wilkin-
son expressed the opinion that there was
no question regarding the right or the
citizens to call the election as set forth
in the petitions as prepared by him yes
terday.
The action of Sylacauga and Huntsville
in taking advantage of the recent legis-
1ative enactment and voting Monday to
abolish the commission form of govern
ment in those two cities has caused no
small comment over the state and at
tracted much attention in Birmingham.
The petitions, in accordance with the
provisions of the statute, provide that
the signatures of three qualified voters
for each 100 of population must be Sc
cured to force the governing body to call
an election on the question. Since the
population of Birmingham in the last
census was about $4,000, the names of
more than 1900 qualified voters would
have to be secured to make the petition
valid
81 have prepared these petitions and
have been assured by people in all walks
of life and in all parts of the city and
suburbs that they will be generally
signed" said Mr.. Wilkinson last night
II personally carried one around In one
of the office buildings today and secured
many signatures. Petitions will be sent
all over the city tomorrow and will be
circulated in all the shops and indus
tries. We will have to secure less than
1900 qualified voters in order to get
this election. Regarding the legality of
the proposition, 1 am satisfied as to that
point. When we secure the necessary
number of signatures that matter will
be settled and I am certain the election
will be called

at the Gulf States steel plant today.
He had just finished repairing a crane
cage and had called "all right" to the

as the arm of the crane lifted Wright's

had just done and failed to notice the
arm of the crane.

Court of Appeals Is
to Hold Special Term

Montgomery. August 22.-(Special)
Members of the Alabama court of appeals
are grinding away in preparation for a
special term of the tribunal, called for
September 7. 1t is expected that a num-
Der of decisions will be handed down. No
cases will be submitted at this term.
The special term was made necessary
because the court had not put out all
the criminal cases before that body at
the regular term which adjourned June
80. The law requires that all criminal
cases must be disposed of during the
term
At the special sitting, it is quite likely
that the court will render decisions In
some civil as well as criminal cases.
