 Among the large batch of Pershing patriot reports received by R. w. Ew- ing, state chairman of the retail mer- chants division of the War Savings committee, at state headquarters are several from some of the smaller towns in Alabama, which indicates the interest taken in the Pershing patriot enroll ment and showing that these patriots did not stop at buying one War Saving Stamp. but bought number

WAGE INCREASE OF STREET CARMEN
 ID BE ARb|TRATED
Contract Between Union and Company Has Arbi-
 trati0n Clause and Men
 Will Remain at Work

Pending negotiations for increa sed pay the shop men and operating crews of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will continue at work Announcement to this effect was made last night by President R. P. Barn. hart of the street railway employees union after the adjournment of a meeting or that organization that had been called for o'clock.
 Mr. Barnhart returned Thursday night rom Washington where he presented the claim of the employees of the street rail- way for increased pay. Organizer Pat Shea of the street railway mems union was in the city yesterday and he and Presldent Barnhart held a conference with President J. s. Pevear of the Btr- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany.
 The contract between the union and the company provides, among other things that Ill the event any dispute arises or demand for increased wages shall be made, and the union and the company are unable to reach an agreement, it shall be submitted to arp1trators one of whom shall be selected by the com pany, one by the union and the third by these two, or by the judge of the federal court in the event they are un- able to agree.
 1t was this clause in the contract that prevented the war labor board composed of former President Taft and Mir Walsh from hearing and determining the de- mands Of the employees. They told Mr. Barnhart that the contract itself pro- vided for the forum to determine the matter and therefore they had no Juris- diction.
 MT Barnhart stated last night that in view of the interpretation the war labor beard placed on the contract, which, how ever, was contrary to the interpretation he and his fellow employees had placed upon it, they would present a demand upon the company for increased pay. In the event the company refused the matter will then be referred to arbitra- tors
 This action will probably be taken within the next few days. In the mean time the men will continue at their work, and the street car service will not suf- fer auv further dislocation.
