 Morrow Deals in "Reminiscences and Early History

Birmingham now stands palatial home"
 Mir. Morrow told several humorous stories, and immensely pleased the vis- itors with his wit and eloquence. He stated that there was difference be- tween the electrochemical men and the lawyers-that while they stood for ef- ficiency, his profession stood for suf- ficiency.
 But there should be a kind of free masonry existing between us, for we lawyers never know when we are go- ing to be electrocuted, and you men never know when you are going to need us. It reminds me of the sign that I have seen in so many places where efficiency abounds, Look-Have you leS anything whereas in the law yer's office they are accused of hav- ing sign that reads, Look-Have you anything left?'
 But, my friends" concluded MT. Morrow, now is the time for you to be glad. and while we have many won derful things in Birmingham, our chief stock in trade is patriotism (and here he read the figures of Birmingham s calls from the government and her gifts far in excess in each easel; and I want to say to you that you are in the right place, for this is the place to be glad in--B Birmingham"

NEW WAGE SCALE
 ACCEPTEDBY MINERS EFFECTIVE MAY b
Miners of District 20 Hold Convention and Supple mentary Wage Scale of
 Agreement Ratified

With the adoption of the supplementary wage agreement as provided by the pro- visions of the Garfield plan, the special convention of the United Mine Workers of America, district No 20, came to close and adjournment was taken yes- terday afternoon. By the terms of this agreement the coal miners are to be given an increase on May b, instead or July l, as provided in the agreement at the conference of officials held recently in Washington with Fuel Administrator II. A. Garfield.
 The convention was in session two days and attended by delegates from every section of district No. 20, and the discus sion of the question brought out some strong debates. J. R. kennamer pre- sided.
 There was some objection to the adop- ton of the wage agreement when the miners met yesterday morning. The union heads, organizers and members of the committee advocated the adoption of the wage agreement now, while some of the delegates believed that it would be more beneficial to them if they waited until July 1, as originally agreed upon.
 The new wage agreement which was presented to the delegates for ratifica- iton, if adopted, will be binding until the close of the war, or not to exceed two years, dating from April 1. 1918.
 The wage increases proposed are IS follows:
 WAGE INCREASES The following raises in the wage scales with penalty attached is offered in the agreement: Drivers. S3A; unclassified labor dnside), $3.20; unclassified labor (outside), s2.75; tipple men, B; miners, when employed by the day, s3.s4; trap pers and other boys. 50 cents per day advance All other classes of day labor advanced 75 cents per day over present prices. but in no Instance shall the rate paid exceed the same class of labor in Tennessee and Kentucky scales; where day labor is paid more than the Tennes- see and Kentucky scales, no reduction ] shall take place.
 | Pick mine run coal advanced cents ! per ton. Machine mining leaders ad- | vanced cents per ton. Machine run ners and helpers when employed by the day, ton or by the foot, advanced 10 per | cent
 l All yardage, room, turning and dead | work advanced 6A per cent. Miners, l when taken to do company work, snaii | receive the rate for that classification l but in no instance shall it be less than
 the rate paid for miners when employed by the day.

Subscribers Urged Go to Banks and Validate Bonds Banks Will Remain Open Until O'Clock for This Purpose-Reports Show Great Number
 of Individual Subscriptions

"If I can be considered as having message to the people of this city, said II. w. Coffin, chairman of the Greate1 Birmingham Liberty Loan committee at headquarters yesterday afternoon after an unusually hard day %orh' would say that I hope the buying or bonds will continue up to the closing hour Tho<e who haven't matched the Presidents $50 Liberty Bond should oo so early in the day. Let them come 10 these headquarters, or the woman Liberty Loan headquarters, or go 10 their banks, as they please. But they should not fail to buy that bond.
 T am going to ask one favor Of the new spapers," said MT. Coffin, and that is, don't beg for the exact figures now or tomorrow night. It will be several days before the full amount subscribed by Birmingham can be given out When they are announced, everyone will have substantial reason for feeling proud of her city. Birmingham has made rec ord which many other cities Of twice her populst tion would be glad to call their own.
 INSPIRING RESULTS
 "The most inspiring athing to me in this campaign is the wonderful freedom with which the people have bought bonds. In numerical strength our sub scriptions exceed those of the first and second Liberty Loans combined. The banks tell me that the number of in diyiduaIs buying bonds on the payment plan is almost three times that of both the previous bond campaigns. The third Liberty Loan will go down into history as subscribed by the rank and file of our citizenry."
 Fred M. Jackson, chairman of the Birmingham zone Earl Lay, field or ganizer, and Bert Meadow, assistant county chairman Of Jefferson, claim that the farmers should be given d large measure of the credit for the suc- cess of the campaign. Look here" said MT. Lay, Marion and Lamar coun- ties, strictly agricultural. each 150 per cent; Cullman, largely agricultural, 222 per cent. The war is getting to the farmers and I think that's the best news of the campaign"

 BRING RECEIPTS
 The complaint is made at the banks that many subscribers are not bringing the receipts issued by the Liberty Bond soliciting committees. Without these re- ceipts the transa ctions cannot be com pleted. Tell everybody to bring his pink receipt along said an overworked bank man yesterday

Filling the mezzanine lounge at the Tutwiler hotel last night at ' o'clock the 150 visiting electrochemists aug mented by about 50 local citizens, en- joyed a dinner in honor of the mem bers of the American Electrochemical society and their guests, who are ac companying them through the Appa- lachian south, stopping at kingsport, Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tenn, Sheffield, and thence to Birmingham, where they spent yesterday seeing the industrial wonders of the district. The party left Birmingham this morning for Anniston at 12:01, and from that city, at noon today they will return to Washington, from where the special train began the tour to the cities in the south named above.
 Arthur c. Crowder. president of the Chamber of Commerce, presided at the dinner last night, and after divine blessings had been invoked by Dr. Frank Willis Barnett, ex-Gov. Emmet O'Neal was called upon and delivered wonderful discourse upon the re- sources of Alabama, pertaining partic- ularly to hydroeltctric power and Muscle Shoals.
 Today we can match the German chemist who has held the supremacy of the world for years. with the Amer ican chemist. and we will show them that all of those arts that we have so successfully used in making and hold : ing peace have been turned into arts of war" said Governor O'Neal.
 Today there is an increased demand for power. We can no longer rely upon steam power. we must seek hydro electric power in that region where the raw material is closest to the water power, and that region is in the Ap- palachian south.'
 DIR. COLIN F. FINK
 Postmaster Crowder next intro duced pr. Colin F. Fink, president of the American Electrochemical society, and stated that while he was the fath- CT of three boys, he was also the fath- CT of the Mazda and Tungsten lights, and that Birmingham felt honored to have him as her guest.
 This trip through the Appalachian south has been great revelation to us all" said Dr. Fink. "and there is not one of us who anticipated that we would experience and see the things that we have seen on this trip. All of the raw materials are here to make the hydroelectric power. but you must have the men, And in this connection want to say that I have never seen a finer body of men, with more CO., operation who work as well together as those we have seen here in the Alp palachian south And in Birmingham today we have witnessed such splen- did cooperation of all classes that it is an insporation to us. We are great ly indebted to the Chamber of Com merce for having us here and to the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad com pany, the American Wire and Steel company and the Country club for the hospitality extended"
 J. w. N Door of Denver was intro duced by Dr. Fink to back up his state ments, and he we'll did 1t, thanking the Birmingham citizens for the wonderful hospitality of which he had heard so much about but never experienced be fore.
 STOOD FOR EFFICIENCY MT. Crowder called upon Hugh Nor row. and in introducing him stated that he was the first boy born in Birming- ham, In most happy and entertaining manner Mir. Morrow dealt in reminis- I
