Relief and Corrections Department of
 City in Need of Funds

The relief and corrections department
 under the management of Rev. Walter
 S. Brown has so far met every case
 of emergency, not single one of real
 need. being turned away, since it
 started. Now they have a large list
 upon their records. Much of this re- lief is of the constructive and most helpful character that cannot be tabu- lated or put into cold figures. It Is the kind that brings the most happf- ness to the recipient because 1t makes them self-helpful and independent.
 Now that our national and individual Thanksgiving Day draws near and many wish to express their thanks by giving to others less fortunate than themselves, and there are many all around us, but if any are uncertain about finding these to whom to give their Thanksgiving gift then call up this department and direction will be given, or better, send your gift into this office and it will be judiciously placed. You will then enjoy your Thanks giving dinner better. Phone Main 6586 rooms and 10, city hail.

ADAMSON LAW
 TEST FILED HERE
No Steps Taken, However, to Secure an Early Hearing of Frisco Case
 in Federal Court

No steps have been taken to secure an early hearing of the case filed in federal court here by the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad to test the validity of the so-called Adamson eight-hour law.
 Due to the absence of Forney Johnston. attorney for the railroad company who is in Montgomery, no statement could be secured from him as to his plans. It was stated, how ever, that he had been instructed by his clients to let the case remain filed pending the decision of the su- preme court unless some situation earlier hearing. In the meantime it has not been set for trial and will probably not be considered by Judge Grubb for sometime.
 The bill is directed against Robert N. Bell, United States district attor- ney; R. E. Asked, member of the Or der of Railway Conductors; J. D. Fra zier. local chairman of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen; T. Dal- ton, local chairman of the Brother
 hood of Locomotive Engineers; w. G Ward, local chairman of the Brother hood of Locomotive Bremen.
 The bill filed here by MT. Johnston l at the instance of the Frisco railroad | is the first attack on the validity oi l the Adamson bill to be made in this | section of the country. A similar case 1 in-Kansas City was decided some days ago by Federal Judge Hook. who held | the measure invalid and hastened it te | the supreme court so that 1t could bt considered prior to January l.. if pos l sible that being the date when tho 1 measure becomes effective.

CITIZENS SLOW TO
 ASSESS PROPERTY
McLendon Calls Attention to Fact That Thirteen Thousand in County
 Have Not Turned in Figures. M

D. E. McLendon, tax assessor of Jeff ferson county. yesterday gave out a statement calling the attention of the property holders to the necessity for assessing all their real and personal property prior to December 31. After that time an additional fee of 50 cents will be charged as well as interest at per cent.
 Mir. McLendon stated that only 20,- GOO out of the total of more than 33.- 0G0 property owners in the county had assessed their property. He attributed the large number of delinquents to the fact that many people were now under the impression that since the board of equalization has fixed an assessment of their property it would rot be necessary for them to assess it this year The tax assessor stated that this was an error and that the as- sessments must be made by each property holder regardless of whether the board of equalization has fixed any valuation or not.
 Several assistants are now engaged in the office of the tax collector to take care of the heavy volume of busi- ness incident to the annual assess mentS

 determinative of all other suits may be filed
 Unless the supreme court gives the Adamson case. precedence over many others assigned for hearing beginning Monday it is considered doubtful whether it could be reached much before the middle of December, even should the court agree to advance the hearings There are some 40 already assigned, many of them important cases specially advanced. Nevertheless, it is generally expected that the rail- road case will be submitted before the court recesses for the Christmas holi- days. December 22
 Whether attorneys representing the railroad brotherhoods will appear in the supreme court hearings or file briefs is still undetermined. In the test case local chairmen of brother hood unions were made defendants by the receivers for the Missouri, Okla homa and Gulf railroad, but the in junction suit as to them was dis missed by Judge Hook, leaving Dis- trict Attorney Wilson of western Mis- souri as the only defendant. This sit uation, however, would not preclude personal appearance of counsel for the brotherhoods in the nominal ca pac1ty or 1flendS or IHe court.
 Nine additional cases were placed today on the supreme courts call for December 4. They were recently passed and now are reassigned. Among them are the railway mail pay di- visor" cases, involving railroad claims of 35.000,000 against the government; an alleged relating case against the Lehigh Valley railroad. and cases in- volving right of the United Mine Work CTS and other labor unions to operate in West Virginia, where Federal Judge Dayton held the mine workers to be an i1Ieoa1 organiZa tion

Proposed Ordinance Is So Drastic Theatres Will Be
 Unable to Operate
AND OUTCOME IS
 RATHER DOUBTFUL
Gives Commissioner of Public Safety Authority to Cut Out Any Objectionable Scenes
 or Acts
By ALLEN J. KREBs. JR,

The ax has fallen on the necks of the moving picture exhibitors, thea tres and other places of amusement.
 If the ordinance, introduced by Com missioner Barber at yesterdays com mission meeting, regulating moving picture shows. theatres and other places of amusement" goes into ef- feet it is good night amusements.
 The ordinance, three pages in length, mostly comprising list of things that cannot be shown or done on the stage or on the screen, is more than drastic. Every line is prohibitive. No nov ing picture exhibitor or theatrical manager can stay in business if the ordinance presented to the commits sion at yesterdays meeting is adopted.
 The ordinance, luckily, was not pre- sented for passage yesterday. The commissioner of public safety merely read it to Athe commissioners and stated that he had called a meeting of the moving picture men to be held in his office Friday morning to discuss the different phases of it. At next Tuesdays meeting the ordinance will be formally presented for passage.
 OUTCOME IS DOUBTFUL
 It is hard to believe that any intel- iigent body of men would contemplate the idea of making such a document as that presented by the commission CT of public safety law. Nevertheless, the outcome, if it is ever brought to an issue, Is doubtful. No expressions on the part of the commissioners were pbtainable yesterday.
 Mir. Barber made the fundamental plank of his platform for the com missionership that of Sunday motion pictures. The natural presumption was that he was to lead the motion pie ture exhibitors to the goal of their fondest ambition-Sunday moving pie lures. He did so. Today he is advo- e ting the passage of an ordinance that would not only put the moving picture exhibitors out of business but would close every theatre of any de- scription in Birmingham
 It is known that pressure has been

This is the state ment brought here today by E. G. Puig, United States vice consul at Matamoros, who has just returned from Sota La Marina. The bandits, Puig said, got what they demanded.

WOMEN NOT BEHIND IT

The Federation of Women's Clubs is not back of the movement for the pas sa ge of this ordinance, despite the fact this organization of educated and think ing women has been connected with the proposition by the. author of the ordi- nance.
 If the ordinance goes into effect the pub- lie will, in the future, be compelled to forego the evil effects of contaminating their unsullied characters by witnessing such a terrible thing as woman on the stage or screen attired in bathing suit, tights, an evening dress, or trans parent gown The slit skirt has long since gone out of style, but even this will be tabooed by the decree and man. date of the makers of the laws for Bir- mingham.
 The last section of the proposed ordi- nance expressly provides for the punish ment of the person, persons. corporation, or firms that violate the law, to-wit; Not more than $1O0 and 1S0 days and the complete revoking of the license.
