ENGLISH MANUFACTURERS
SHOW RESOURCEFULNESS

Manchester, England.-A typical
example of the enterprise and re-
sourcefulness displayed by the North
Of England manufacturers in convert
ing their plants into munition facto-
ries was given by concern in Man
chester suburb.
When Lloyd Georges call came fer
shells this plant had no equipment for
their manufacture. The manager
made a quick tour of surrounding
towns, visiting small shops from
which he borrowed lathes. These were
converted into shell-making machines
and in remarkably short time the
plant was turning out 1000 shells
week of large calibre.
The usual method of "bottling" or
shaping the nose of a shell is by hy-
draulic pressure. The plant, however,
had no presses available for the work.
The government engineers offered to
supply a press but that meant con-
siderable delay. II won't wait for
one," said the manager. "I can bot
tie shells with a steam hammer"
"Those engineers laughed at me-"
the manager said, ''but the hammer
worked"
By the hydraulic process, shells are
bottled with the ends up. 81 turned
the shells upside down in a mold and
hammered their noses in," the mana
ger explained. "Both time and money
were saved" Many shell factories in
he district are now employing this
method.

said, the authorities have forbid
en- meetings of the members of the
ocialist party. The treatment accord
d to the pacifsts was unworthy and
nsulting, said Bauer, while the propa-
tanda of the politicians of conquest"
not only allowed but promoted.
"While the social democrats in the
5th army district in Breslau are abso-
ltely outlawed," declared Bauer, "the
Fatherland party is allowed to hold
1eetings with molestation and enroll
,ew members. Our party secretary in
sreslau was disciplined by being
RATED into. the army because he for
yarded the complaints of the wives of

Bauer demanded that the minister

ommand of the Breslau district from
lisusing his authority.
Attempts by labor unions to cooper
te in the regulation of wage condi-
ons and working hours met with
reat opposition, Bauer said.
Replying to Bauer's charges, Sec
stary of the Interior Wallraf, said:

Kiwanians Hear of ''BOssing the Business

Hill Ferguson Presents Manning "City Plan of Birmingham''-Bar-
 nett Tells of Convention

An enthusiastic meeting of the Xii wanis club was held yesterday at 1 clock at the Southern club, at which time R. H. Trick. manager of the Burroughs Adding Machine company, made a most interesting talk on "Boss- ing the Business" Mir.

ORDER ON FREIGHT CHARGES
 IS NOW M0D|F| TED
Order Requiring Daily Pay- ments Postponed Until Au- gust Manager Bum
 Sends Out Circular

Modification of the recent order of the railroad administration requiring freight charges to be paid before the goods are removed from the railroad depots is be- ing sought by traffic managers of south- edn civic bodies. Under the new rule, which becomes effective August l. tha consignee of shipment must either pay the freight charges before taking the goods out of the depot, or give bond, ana when bond is given the charges must be paid within one day
 This rule it is contended will work a hardship on merchants and other con- signees who must send the money to pay charges when they send for ths goods or give bond for one days ac- commodation. Before the railroad ad- ministration took over the control of the railroads settlement of freight charges were made weekly.
 Manager c. L. Bum of the Birming ham traffic bureau is sending out let- ters to the members of that body ex- blaming the new rule, and suggesting the advisability of appealing to the dl- rector general to modify it to the extent that upon the execution bond weekly set- dement's may be authorized
 In his letter Mr. Bum says that the impression seems to prevail among great many shippers that the freight charges must be prepaid. This is mis- take. The forward shipper is not re- quired to prepay the charges.
 The order of the director general re- quiring caiiy settlements upon the ex- ecution of bond, scheduled to go into ef- feet on July l, has been postponed to August l. This order, when it goes into effect, will automatically cancel all pre- vious arrangements adn customs.
 Southern Traffic association managers have taken up the matter of a modifica- tion of the rule with the director gem eral and hope to get favorable action be- fore August

 The rental price is $50 month

Women May Serue As
 Managers and Clerks Election Gent Fare

From present indications Birmingham Will try out an innovation in elections next Monday. when the e-cent street car tare IS voted on. On account of the scarcity of labor and the unusual de- nand Tor workers in all lines of employ ment, whether in the office. the shop. or the mine. the election commissioners are meeting with considerable difficulty Tn securing enough men to conduct the election in. the various polling places in the city.
 It has been suggested, and the sug- gestion has met with some favor. that women be appointed as election officers m the precincts where men cannot be round to serve. In other states, where woman suffrage prevails, the women have served in elections and done il well, but m Alabama, where suffrage has not yet been granted them, they have never been called upon to handle election matters.
