RAILROAD COMMISSARIES BENEFIT TO MERCHANTS, IS
 INDICATED BY STATISTICS
Annual Statements of Railway Supply Company and Sands Co., Show Purchases Here in Excess of Amount Sold to Employees Accounted for by the Shipments to
 Other Towns and to Camps

1 722.40. The sales in Birmingham amounted to $75.94532, which was l2.5 per cent less than the total amount purchased. The pay roll of the rail- road for 1916, in Birmingham was $l,- 152.612.
 By these figures the sales to the em- ployes was 6.5 per cent of the total wages.
 The reason why the railroad com r.issarics spend more money in Bir- nlingham than is derived from sales to the employees here is attributed to the fact that the greater amount of foodstuffs and supplies are sent into the smaller cities and railroad camps for assumption.
 The conditions cited above, accord ing to railroad men prevail with the other railroad commissaries in the Bir- mingham district
 Befoge the commissaries were estab- l!shed reports show that the problem of garnishnents and assignments of wages was pressing. For the three months prior to the establishment of the Railway Supply company the rail road had 1900 garnishments and as signments of wages served on 599 em- ployes
 After the commissary had been Tn operation for three months the rec ords show there were fewer than 150 garnshments and assignments of wages for a corresponding period
