of every man, woman and child in the Muscle Shoals district to meet the gov ernment more than halfway and to do everything possible to encourage the government officials to get the work un- der way at the earliest possible moment Apparently no one desires to run the risk of killing the goose that laid the golden egg"
 It is understood that President Wilson
 is withholding confirmation of the war departments recommendations until the matter of land requirement and valua- tions are settled. and this fact has aroused much concern here, where every effort will be exerted by local citizens to see that lands are offered to the government at fair price.
 A great wave of enthusiasm has over spread this section because of the op- portunities in prospect and everyone is bent on making sure that the govern ment will locate the S5.000,000 industry here. It is, therefore, expected that the matter will immediately be settled.

Government Will Begin at Once on Plan to Allay Un- rest Now Prevailing
 Throughout Country

Washington. October 3.-The govern ment is working to develop some com- prehensiye sytsem of dealing with the labor unrest which threatens to hamper war production. It is concerned over the pronounced upward movement of wages. disproportionate for various industries and the difficulty of stabilizing condi- tons without doing injustice to workers or employers. Nearly all production now is directly or indirectly necessary for the prosecution of the war and the output of war materials is curtailed by strikes, extraordinary movement of workers from one industry to another or from plant to plant, and other unsettled conditions. On the recommendations of the commission headed by Secretary Wilson of the de- partment of labor which left today for the west, will largely depend the govern ments eventual policy. Meanwhile it is understood the governments course will

to single constructive measure that MT. Ward has inaugurated l would retire from the race. They haven't called my hand yet A man who has served as the chief executive officer of the city for four years and cannot point to one single accomplishment which he himself initi- ated, has not given you that service which you had a right to expect and for which you were paying.
 George says he brought the city's ex- penditures within it's income. He went
 month after month, according to his own confession, spending more than the egrV's income-knowing that every night when he went to bed the city was S100O deeper in the hole than when he arose in the morning-and never made an effort to remedy the situation until the legisla- ture a superior power, told him that he would either have to economize and run the city on the city's revenue, or get out Then it was that he got busy and did what he never attempted to do until his job was at stake.
 CALLED IN BOWIE
 q was a member of that committee Of 100 that Georgie appointed and called to- gether to tell him what to do to save the city, and with everything that was said and done by that committee, never one single. solitary suggestion came from George Ward as to any plans or ideas how the city's honor and integrity could be conserved He advanced no idea as to what we should do. He simply threw ,,l his hands and shouted for Sydney !. Bowie Syd responded and asked the committee for bond isue of $1,25o,000 to clean up what George had spent.
 And now, as then, when George has abandoned all the issues he has sprung in the campaign, he yells for Sydney Bowie I will ask George to tell us how much the city has paid Sydney j. as consulting attorney for cases he has lost which I am satisfied the regular salaried city attorney is capable of losing all by himself, without outside assistance. Tell us how many cases you have employed him in and how many he has won.
 Judge Haley, speaking in behalf of Mir. Ward out here in West End few nights ago, stated that what he termed the T. A. society had had representa- tives going all over town trying to get one man after another to announce for president of the city commission, and promising to deliver the T. A. vote to them. He said that all the men ap- preached had refused and that they then came to me as a last resort. He said that if anyone in the crowd doubt ed his statements, to stand up and he would name the men. A few days after this, Wards evening mouthpiece came out in a long editorial and asked if pr. Barrett had the nerve to call MT Ha- ley's hand immediately replied that had, and challenged Mir. Haley and Mir Glass to name the men and they have been as dumb as an oyster since"
 pr. Barrett, as in all of his ad dresses. read and explained the con- structive platform upon which he bases his candidacy. declaring for mu- nicipal ownership of water and electric light plants. more extensive health system. free textbooks in the public

schools, extension of the sanitary sewer system, improved streets and highways, conservation of the city's franchises and readjustment and re- duction in the license schedule. He opposed the street tax and declared he would veto any ordinance attempting to place this tax on the people. He also opposed any tuition or other charges in the public schools.
 At the conclusion of his speech. Dr. Barrett again referred to the injection of a religious issue into the campaign by MT. Ward and the Birmingham News. He read the principles of the so-called T. A. society and stated that he had called on both Mir Ward and Mir. Glass for two weeks to state whether or not they stood for these principles, and if not, what influence kept them from subscribing to it; that finally MT. Ward swallowed them en- tirely, hook, bait and sinker.
 GEWIN MAKES SHORT TALK
 Dr. Gewin made brief but telling speech for Dr. Barrett. George Ward has been housed so long in the city hall" he said, that he needs fresh air, and Dr. Barrett is the man to prescribe the change. I have known Dr. Bar rett for long time. and I want to tell you that he has got just as much sense as George Ward ever had and a little bit more. When he is elected, you won't have to put on a silk hat, a swallow tail coat or pair of gog- gles when you go to the city hall"
 pr. Gewin predicted that there would be no run off, that Dr. Barrett would get a clean majority next Mon day with thousand or two votes to spare.
 J. B. Aird made very brief address. reciting the accomplishments of the other commissioners. But he said, "in scanning the constructive deeds of the other members of the board of commissioners we find nothing In the handwriting of George Ward"
 He stated that he had watched the progress of the campaign closely and was certain of Dr. Barrett's majority next Monday
 There will be two Barrett meetings tonight-one at Central Park and the other at Fairview. These will be the last public meetings until the biz rally Saturday night.

GOVERNMENT COURSE

To extend to a number of industries having war contracts the present system of wage adjustment boards which have been created for cantonment construction. shipbuiiding. longshoremen's work and army and navy clothing production.
 To increase the number of war depart ment contracts containing clauses provid- ing that in case of suspension of work by strikes the Secretary of War shall settle the disputes.
 To enforce agreements with industries for whose products standard prices are fixed, not to reduce wages.
 To encourage employers to form asso- citations by industry groups to deal collec- lively with labor demands. and
 TO ENCOURAGE ADJUSTMENTS
 To press informally for adjustment of disagreements before they reach the strike stage, under the implied pressure of the governments war power to com mandeer and operate plants.
 These practices already are in effect on a small scale. having been developed gradually to deal with specific labor problems as they arose. They have failed to prevent many walk-outs, however, de- spite the governments recognition in most cases of labor's right to higher pay to meet the increased cost of living.
 Continued evidence that employees and employers were not working in harmony led government officials and their ad- visers of the council of national defense to look for a more fundamental solution. Special study is being given British gov- ernment methods by many American of- ficialS.
