Hornady Reuie1Us the Work of Commission at Closing Session
United Mine Workers To Discuss Wage AdDdnce at
 Birmingham Contention

, that efforts on behalf of the mine work
 CTS would be made and in some in stances advances would be asked for the miners. It is claimed by Alabama mine
 workers that they are being paid in n<ny instances less than miners in the central
 competitive coal fields, and due to the
 size of seam and local differences, there was a discrimination in existence.
 The penalty clause is causing some misunderstanding, according to lead
 ing operator and this will largely gov ern the acceptance of the new mining price. Labor is either not working full
 time, or it is green at many mines, it is
 said, consequently coal production is not
 up to the maximum by a marked degree
 in Alabama. Local yards are not well
 stocked it is understood. and in case or
 severe cold, small quantities of coal will be hard to secure for local consumption

WELFARE WORKERS PLAN A CAMPAIGN
 FOR GIRLS SCHOOL
Reclamation of Girls More Important Than That of Boys Is Statement of
 Dr. Stuart

A large number of welfare workers or the city gathered at a luncheon at the Southern club yesterday to formulate plans to better equip the Alabama Girls Training school at East Lake, and to start movement to obtain funds for new buildings to meet the necessity of a constantly increasing number of young girls.
 James H. Finder acted as Chairman of the meeting, stating the purpose of the meeting and introducing the different speakers. Dr. George Stuart made very impressive argument in favor of the work being done by the girls institu- ton at East Lake, stating that upon his visit to the home he was told that 64 girls were occupying seven small rooms, with beds closer together than any prison he had ever seen. T consider the recla- nation of the girls and young ladies of far vaster importance than the work done for boys, inasmuch as the women are the mothers of the world, teaching children their first words, and giving children their ideals in life from child hood up. But I find that Birmingham is doing a great deal for her boys. whereas the work for young girls and women is on a much inferior basis than that TOT boys, Salu DT. SLudrI III lHe courSe of his talk.
 NEGLECT OF GIRLS Mrs J. II. Mccoy made rousing good speech on the matter of better equip ment for the girls school at East Lake, saying in part: "Of what good will be the work of building up fine examples of manhood in the East Lake Boys ln- dustrial school and other institutions of its kind if we neglect the girls and al low them, the mothers of the country, to grow up with warped ideals of life?"
 Mrs. J. F. Hooper of Selma also made a fervent speech in the interest of the
 institution at East Lake, saying: T shall surely go back home and try to give the people here a better opinion of the work of the Alabama Girls Training school and shall strive with all my might to do whatever l can for the school" Other interesting talks of five minutes were made by +. w.

Old Commission Passed Into History With the Regular
 Meeting Yesterday
RETIRING MEMBERS
 ARE COMPLIMENTED
Barber States That He Has Given the Best Two Years of His Life to City and
 Stands Pat on Record
By JEFF BAILEY

The city commission, now composed ol George B. Ward, president; J. R. Hornady, U. D. Truss, Arlie Barber and James Weatherly. will, on Tuesday, next, off cialiy be thing of the past, so far as it's ever meeting again intact as an of- ficial governing body of the city of Bir- mingham, though it's acts will remain history, and it's deeds will never be for gotten.
 There were many things that were irli- tiated, inaugurated and made to tran spire by this body that will ever redound to the good of the city, according to the people who have watched their every act closely. There are other things that will stand out as better to have never been done perhaps, but that is on account of the fact that the five men who have filled these responsible positions for the past two years are just human beings and had no divine intuition into the fan cies or fallacies that the future held.
 Yesterday was the last regular meeting of the commission. Mr. Hornady, com missioner of health and education, who is the only member of the present board who survived the onslaught of public opinion on october 8, when the municipal election was held, presided as president pro tenn, President Ward being absent in New York on business. and Commits sioners Truss and Barber were present, as were Commissioners elect Brown, Bur russ and Taylor.
 HORNADY SPEAKS
 the Iav- ing of $7Oo worth of piping at Acipco, III order to relieve certain conditions at that place, the commission found itself out of business, and MT. Hornady took the floor and engaged in "reminiscences of the past two years work, giving creclt where he believed credit was due to his colleagues. MT. Hornady enumerated the following achievements of the commits sion, which he believed were Of passing interest and deserving of comment:
 Grade separation pushed vigorously.
 Electric light plant enlarged; service extended; s5O0,000 voted for new plant.
 Birmingham waterworlSs appraised and the way opened for ultimate purchase by the city.
 Welfare work greatly extended. Depart ment of relief and corrections estab- lished. Pisgah Home taken over.
 Laws enforced; city most orderly. Fire department brought to high state of efficiency; all motor driven.
 Progressive policy of public improve ments. many miles of new streets; wooden briges replaced with concrete.
 Sanitary sewers extended in many directions; much accomplished with lit tie money.
 Health measures: Tubercular cattle weeded out. Food inspection inaugur- ated Thousands of dry closets elimi- mated. Pasturization of ice cream in augurated.
 Great advance educationally. Mod ernization of entire school system now under way. Schools made free.
 Credit of city has been maintained under the most trying circumstances ever confronting the municipality.

While the exact figure of the sale was not given out it is understood to be the record price so far for Will low creek undeveloped claims, and George certainly banked a wad that would choke the original cow.-(An- chorage TimeS.(
