READY RESPONSE ID
 WAR SAVINGS STAMP DRIVE OVER STATE
Indications Point to Land slide in Purchase of Stamps and State Quota Will
 Be Reached

At state headquarters of the national War Savings committee, it is asserted that there is every indication of lant- slide for War Savings Stamps in the big drive which is now in progress. Reports from field agents and coun.y chairmen are almost unanimous to the effect that the people of Alabama are grasping the fact that the War Savings Stamp IS government plan and the duty to buy them is as essential as it was-in the last Liberty Bond campaign when Alabama led the way for the states in the sixth federal reserve dis trict.
 Instances are multiplying that the peo- pie in the rural districts are taking to War Savings Stamps as heartily as they did 10 the third Liberty Bonds, when money which had been hidden in stock ings, tin boxes and other primitive banks came to the light and was absorped in Uncle Sams securities. One of the test of these stories comes from Blunt county and tells how an cid woman of Su years came to Oneonta with $1000 in cash and bought War Savings Stamps to the limit.
 The meeting yesterday of the Patriotic league of Eessemer, generally known as
  ings Stamp rally, and this band of pa triotic workers which did such notable service for Liberty Bonds and the good name of their city, pledged themselves to put Bessemer over the top on War Savings day, June 2S. Crawford John son, state War Savings director, was present and made one of his forcefll talks. Plans for systematic organization for the drive were formulated and Jap Bryan was named as publicity director. Mrs. R. +. Johnston, head of the wor- ans section of the state War Savings committee. who has done splendid wor'S on organization lines in Birmingham, goes to Selma this morning to enthuse the women of that city.
 Robert Holcombe, president of the Holcombe Mercantile company, f Calera, has been appointed War Savings director for Shelby county, to succeed Willis Lyman of Montevallo, who has entered the military service after hay ing accomplished much for War Savings Mir. Holcombe was one of the leaders il the third Liberty Bond campaign an1 to his work not a little of the prestige of Shelby as one of the banner counties in that campaign is due.
 State headouarters received a telegram tional con nittee, to the effect that the drive was going strong all over the country, and that the national committee was counting on Alabama to do her .ull part.

City Commission Puts Ban
 On Employment Agencies
Activities of Coal Mines and Industrial Plants Hampered by Deportation of Laborers
 From District

Private employment agencies are
 practically put out of business by an
 ordinance passed by the city commits
 sion yesterday. The ordinance was
 passed in accordance with the request
 of large employers of labor in the Bir-
 mingham district, who, acting through
 James l.. Davison, secretary of the Ala
 bama Coal Operators association, pre- : sented data to the commissioners about 10 days ago, showing the harm that IS resulting to coal miners and industrial plants in this district through the de- parture of hundreds of laborers.
 MT Davison told the commission CTS at the time of the conference that the federal government, through the department of or, had under advise ment the matter of abolishing private employment agencies for the duration of the war and intrusting to federal agencies the duty of supplying labor to the industries essential to the main tenance of the government and the support of the army and navy.
 CONTRARY TO POLICY
 The preamble to the ordinance passed by the commissioners sets out | that the labor scarcity in the Birming- ham district is due in large measure to the activities of certain persons calling themselves labor agents; that they are operating contrary to the policy of the government at this time, and that the government agency Tn Birmingham is amply sufficient to handle the labor recruiting work
 The ordinance provides that each member of a firm or corporation that ,solicits labor for employment inside the city limits of Birmingham shall pay an annual license of $250, and that where the labor is to be sent beyond the limits of Birmingham. the license shall be $2500 a year This license must be paid within 10 days from the passage of the ordinance Conviction for violation of any provision or the ordinance works a forfeiture of the license and prevents the person so con victed from again obtaining license to operate in Birmingham.

 AN INJUSTICE DONE
WOman's Council Thinks It Unfair Now to Refer to
 It as Bloody Beat
RESOURCE

Mrs. B. B. Walker, publicity chairman of the womans council of defense of Lewisburg, has submitted to The Age Herald the following statement adopted at recent meeting of the council:
 Give Towser a bad name, low and undeservedly, and when he is old it will not depart from him because people feast upon the venom of scandal. The people of the precinct read with unfeigned indig- nation certain news items which seem to be emphasized with the stigma In Bloody Beat The people feel that this is an unjust discrimination and a taint, not only on the citizenship of this com munty, but blot upon the fair name of Jefferson county.
 Nowhere can you find a more loyal and patriotic people than we have Every war call has been answered by this com munity in echoes strong and substantial; our quota for the last Liberty Loan was oversubscribed; the second Red Cross war fund allotment was more than three times donated. We have the distinction of having the best organized unit of wom- ans council of defense in Jefferson county.
 Tn years gone by the appellation com plained of may have in a sense been justified, but such is no longer the case. Some of the best citizens of Alabama have their homes in this district, among whom may be mentioned the attorney of the U. $. district court of north Ala bama. Two of the best and most modern school buildings, one for white and one for colored, stand as monument of the ncble sentiment of this community
 We feel that the newspapers fail to reflect credit not only upon themselves, but upon the fair name of the county and state, to refer to any section as they refer to this, whether the conditions justify the appellaton or not. We strong ly resent such identification to the world, and respectfully request that hereafter the term Bloody Beat not be used in reference to this precinct or any other precinct in our county. Would like to state further that the phrase has been used thoughtlessly by the newspapers, otherwise we would deem them unpatri- otic PUBLICITY COMMITTEE,
