COAL SITUATION
 IS CLEARING UP

'"The coal situation in Birmingham is clearing up and I am most opti- mistic about the future. Federal con trol of the railroads is doing much to relieve the car shortage and deal CTS are beginning to get an adequate supply of coal from the mines. We are now taking care of all complaints and relief has been given East Lake. Ems ley and other suburbs that have been suffering owing to the coal short age"
 This was the statement of J. H. Duncan, secretary of the Jefferson county fuel board, when interviewed by a representative of The Age-Her- ald at his office Wednesday after neon.
 Mir Duncan said there was more coal coming into Birmingham this week than for many days and that if the weather did not turn too severe everyone would soon have an adequate supply of fuel
 "Of course, at the present time we are receiving few complaints, but we are taking care of them and sec ing to it that no ofs suffers severe ly on account of the lack of coal" said MT. Duncan. Thus far the local coal into their yards. As fast as the coal comes in it is loaded into wagons and carted to the consumer There is always a string of wagons awaiting every car of coal that comes in and the dealer disposes of the fuel and has 1t loaded into the wagons and hauled out"

His action followed a conference with the committee on fuel of the Mont gomery Chamber of Commerce and Henry N. Hughes, >cunty fuel administra. tor.
 Governor Henderson talked with Sam- tor, on the telephone and reached the conclusion that the trouble was the linn ited authority of the state administra- tor. He immediately asked the national administrator to increase the authority He did not say later in the day whether replied to his telegram.
 Governor Henderson also assured the committee that the matter would be re- ferred to Senators Oscar Underwood and John H. Bankhead.

Streit Is Anxious fo Hold Big Amateur Boxing CarniUalHere

event the club officials agree to pay the expenses of the stars to Birming- ham to compete in the tourney, local fans will have chance to see box ing which they have never had be- fore
 Every enrichment in the south is anxious to send men to compete in the tourney. Other southern stars, in- clrdire dozen fror New Orleans, and almost as many from Atlanta, are rAaay to come nere to battle for the various titles
 Expenses of these men must be paid and this is the lone stumbling block. The tourney would last sev- erai days, and would offer about six or more bouts night. The matches would be short, thus insuring fast and furious fighting
 It will be a great thing for Bir- mingham to secure the tourney. Few boxing matches have been staged here, but local fans c1amor for bouts. Nothing but amateurs will be entered in the tourney and some nifty ring artists would be seen in action.
 Streit, whV is also chairman of the athletic committee at the B. A. O., believes the board of governors will stage the tourney It will be a sport carnival which fans cannot afford to miss.
