C|V|CASSOC|AT|ONTO
FIGHT FREIGHT RAISE
Intervention in Case of the
Traffic Bureau and Rail-
roads Decided Upon

At the monthly meeting of the Civic
association last night 1t was decided that
the association should intervene in the
case of Meridian Traffic bureau against
railroads carrying freight from points in
Alabama to Meridian. 1t is understood
that If this case should be decided for
the railroads, it would result in raising
the freight rates in the state of Ala
bama and the additional burden of mil
lions of dollars on the merchants of the
state.
1t is said the case Is very similar to
the famous Shreveport case. The Meridian
Traffic bureau alleges that higher freight
rates are charged on shipments from
points in Alabama to that city than are
charged for shipments of equal distance
within the state. The railroads allege
that the rates within Alabama are alb
normally low, and that If they are forced
to make the same rates for shipments
from points in Alabama to Meridian that
are charged for shipments from one point
in Alabama to another, they will have
to raise the rates of shipments in Ala
bama. A committee of three will be ap-
pointed by the Civic association to go to
Montgomery and attend the next sitting
of the public service commission, and
do all in their power to protect the rights
of the people Of Alabama. Resolutions
to this effect were adopted.

LOCAL BAS|NG POINT
STEEL CORPORATION
Movement Started by Civic
Association to Place City
on Pittsburg Footing

The matter of making Birmingham a
basing point for the southern units of
the United States Steel corporation was
brought up at the meeting of the Civic
association last night. At present Pitts
burg is the basing point for the corpora
tlon, and the association would have Biz
These basing points are places where the
charges for all sales are figured from. Ar
ticles made and sold in Birmingham are
priced the same as if they were made in
Pittsburg, regardless of the freight saved.
The manufacturers committee of the
Civic association is going to take the
matter up with George Gordon Crawford
and officials of the Gulf States Steel cor
poration and try to get them to use their
influence in getting Birmingham made
such basing point. The strongest COM
mittee that can be raised in the Civic
association will attend to the matter.
THE making of Birmingham a basing
point would be worth a dozen nitrate
plants on the Warrior to Birmingham .
said J. A. Yates. eff this were made a
basing point, small manufacturers would
scramble over sites to locate here and we
would have another great boom. The saw
ing to our merchants would be incalcu-
liable. 1t is the most vital matter that
has been presented to the people of Biz
mingham in a long time and we should
put fort hour best efforts to make the
movement successful"

Kennamer Issues Statement IL
Which He Says They Will Not

to Do So

President ]. R. Kennamer of the

terday in reply to recent statements
made by the coal operators. He said
that the state and national govern
ments had received briefs of their
side of the case, pending negotiations
that would put at rest the tentative
call for q strike.
1--WE are going to stand by our case,
witch is in the hands of the general
public" stated Mr.. Kennamer. 1--WE
may have to strike. but If we do we
will stand by our cause until dooms-
day"
Mr. Kennamer denounced any in
timation that the I. w w. organiza-
ton had any connection with the U.
NJ w. of A., and said that nothing
could be further from the truth than
a statement to that effect. no mat
ter who made it.

Mr. Kennamer. "and l know what

there is not a single /. w. W. in this

Stors about German agitations is not

MANY DRAF TED MEN
CLAIM EXEMPTION IN
THE THIRD DIVISION
Estimated That Only so
Out of 600 Summoned
Will Not File
Objections

The examination OF registered men
from the third county division was con-
tinued yesterday by the exemption board
and resulted in the obtaining of about
20 men who were passed by the physi-
clans and did not file exemption claims.
In all 173 men were examined. and the
percentage of men who passed and did
not claim exemption was higher than
on Saturday. The number who claimed
is greater than was expected by the
board, and instead of the 800 men that
were expected to be obtained without
any exemption claims, the actual number
will be about 60. Many of the claims
will not be allowed, however. 1t is stated.
and the board will see that none escape
that are not really exempt under the
law.
The officers of the board want it ex-
planned that men that registered in some
other place can have their examinations
here if they go about it in legal man
ner. Special blanks have been furnished
the board which can be filed out by a
| man who registered In some other pre-
cinct. These blanks are to be forwarded
| to the board of the precinct where the
| man registered. and they will return 1t
with written permission for the man to
bs examined by the local board. The
examine such men, to save them the
trouble Of going back home to stand the
examination, but in every way the man
remains under the Jurisdiction of the
board where he registered.
The officers of the board wish to es-
pecially thank two negro physicians, DR..
ALI E. Thomas and DR.. Joe T. Thomas.
for the help they gave yesterday. There
are five doctors on the state board. two
for white men and three for negroes.
The task of examining 200 men day is
strenuous.
The last 200 men have been instructed
| to report today. but as many on yester-
| day and Saturday were unable to be ex-
| amined because of the rush, the board
will continue to sit until the last part
of the week Six hundred men have
| been instructed to report for examina-
| ton in the first call from this district.
\ All are to report on the day for which
they are summoned, however. and only
| those who cannot be reached will DO
postponed until a later late.
| AS each man appears he is taken in
hand by physician and given the same
examination that candidate for the reg
ular army undergoes. If he falls to pass
| this examination he is given a button to
| wear on his coat which shows that he
| is physically unfit, and releases him from
further examination. If he passes the
| examination and claims exemption he has
| 10 days in which to fill out the exemption
blank and return it to the board. 1t
must be sworn to before a notary or a
| justice of the peace. If the claims are
found to be sufficient the man is given
a button and dismissed from further ex-
| animation. If not his name is placed
with those of the men who filed no
claims, and he is told to remain at home
and await orders.

Rules Governing Claims OF

made it the logical place for the
boards to meet
Secretary Pepperman of the local

amount of confusion among those OF
"the prospective army over the form
of exemption. as to when and where
and how to secure it and that II they
will read the following statement care
fully all will be explained:
There is but one time to get these
blanks, and that is when the con-
scripted man appears for examination.
If he claims exemption and asks for
blanks, he is furnished with them and
told what to do. These blanks will
not be furnished to any man before
the day and hour he is summoned to
appear before the board for examina-
ton. No blanks for exemption or dis
charge from military service will be
furnished by the local boards until
the man appears in answer to his
summons" stated Mr.. Pepperman en-
pha tically.
