TRAINING CLASS FOR
 SELECTMEN PLANNED
Drafted Youths Will Be Given In struction Preliminary to Being
 Sent to Army Camps

A class to train Birmingham men who have been drafted will be organized at a meeting at the city hall armory Friday The idea of such class comes from numerous northern cities where so that the men when sent to the camps might jump right in and help train oth- CTS. All such men with military train ing. as a rule, have been given ranks of noncommissioned officers right from the start.
 According to the plans, the class will be organized Friday night and training will commence immediately afterwards At the same time special stress Is laid on the fact that the class is unofficial and a man in no way obHgates hinself by taking the training. The man who has been drafted and Is not absolutely certain that his exemption claim Will be granted may take this training 10 prepare himself for any eventuanty. H is pointed out that in case he Is then drafted into the service he will be m shape to get a noncommisSioned orri- cer's rank and even be direct in line, on account of his military knowledge to he sent to the third officers training camp. which will be for enlisted men only.
 Endorsement of such class has come from many sources, Colonel Slocum, c,mmand.ng the present training camp at Fort Oglethorpe, being among the most enthusiastic boosters of the plan. Secretary Pepperman of the local board also thinks the plan is good one, and expressed hope yesterday that many of the men would take up the unofficial training.
 The training will be under competent and properly accredited instructors. The meeting Friday night will begin at S o'clock

LOCAL OPERATORS
 ARE OPPOSED ID
 HORIZONTAL PLAN
Would Benefit Some Unduly and Would Not Relieve Others Situation Is
 Closely Watched

Information contained in Associated Press dispatches from Washington that many coal operators at present in the capital are urging an increase of 5o cents per ton over the basic selling price for coal as announced by the President was received with dissatisfaction by To cal operators last night.
 The Alabama Coal Operators associa. ton, through it's president, George B Mccormack, is already on record to the effect that horizontal increase would not be available. MT. Mccormack pointed out that a horizontal increase of uni form amount might benefit some com panies, afford others opportunity to "break even," and force others out of business. It was his point that the only fair remedy would consist of increases based on cost of production in the va rious mines.
 On developments in Washington, op- ei ators last night declined to talk. Dr. H. A. Garfield has formally stated that the Presidents figures would be re- vised, and has intimated that such re- vision would benefit Alabama particu- larly. Local operators expressed hope last night that the revision would be based on cost of production as shown by cost sheets In the possession of the coal administrator. Some satisfaction was expressed in the movement for 15 to 20-cent differential favorable to less profitable mines over the uniform hori- zontal increase requested. As whoe however. local operators indirectly stated last night their preference for a fixed price based on actual cost of pro- duction in the several mines.
 Morris w. Bush representative of the Alabama Coal Operators association, at present in Washington, intimated in hls dispatches yesterday that the entire situation, as result of Washington con ferences, was "up in the air" Today miners and operators representing Illi- nois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, will confer in Washington relative to the demand for wage increase as enun- ciated by the miners and refused by the operators. If the conference cannot agree, pr. Garfield will be notified, and the intimation is that he will proceed arbitrarily to arbitrate.
 Inasmuch as any action taken by miners and operators in Washington will be accepted in the main by miners and operators of the entire country, ne- gotiations in the capital are closely fol- lowed by those in Birmingham who will be directly affected. Local operators agree with those in conference at Wash ington that no wage increase over the 10 per cent increase to be effective here October | can be granted.
 At headquarters of district No 20 United Mine Workers of America, hope was expressed that agreement as to the wage question might be lamicably reached. Secretary J. j.. Clemo predicted that unless the wage question is solved in conference, there will probably be general trouble"

BARRETT FORCES ID HAVE GREAT RALLY AT CAPITOL PARK Monster Demonstration Is Planned to Wind Up
 the Campaign BARRETT FORESEES MAJORITY OCTOBER 8 Candidate Says He Will Continue His Campaign on High Plane

WORDS ARE MISQUOTED

'I notice in an afternoon paper that in the account of my speech at East Birmingham Tuesday night I am quoted as saying and if George says the K. Cs are not supporting him to a man know he is lying about it.
 fI never used the word lying and have not and would not refer by this term to any man who is opposing me. What I did say was that George and myself understood each other exactly; that if I should tell George that a ma jority of the members of the patriotic organizations were not supporting me, he would know that l was not telling the truth. And that if he should tell me that the members of a powerful po- litical-religious order termed the K. C.s were not supporting him to man. he would know that I knew better I have not said single harsh thing about any who are opposing me nor do I intend to. My side of the fight is going to be kept clean"
 Central Park will be the scene of Barrett meeting tonight, the speaking to be in the park in front of the Bap list church. Tomorrow night will see the second invasion of Woodlawn, the meeting being scheduled at the city hall at $ o'clock.
