NOTHING ANTAGONIsTIC

There is nothing antagonistic in our demands for a living wage scale. We realize, due to the enormous car hours run by the company, even under pres ent difficulties, that any increase na- turally results in a great additional burden The company claims that it has gone as far as its resources will per init on 5-cent fare with universal trans fers. Accepting this statement, which we believe was made in good faith, we have appealed as a body to the city commission, which appeal has been backed by an almost universal indorse- 5nent from the leading interests of this community, to grant a 6-cent fare to the company, in order to enable them to establish a rate of wages of parity with what Is being paid elsewhere for similar work, and be in a position to keep their trained labor and render bet ter service to the community.
 The additional revenue derived from 6-cent fare will accomplish this, but will not otherwise help the company. Feeling the justice of our position, and knowing that the public would indorse it, we have made this request of the commission and suggest that they meet this condition by passing this ordinance for the period of the present national emergency, and then leave it to a ref erendum. To this request they have not seen fit to comply, which means from our view point, that we have nothing to expect. We have earnestly requested the commission to reconsider it's ac- tion and have agreed to continue at work until Monday next.
 We feel confident that, if we are

TEACHERS APPLY FOR WORK DURING VACATION PERIODS IT. Problem to Find Work That They Are Qualified
 for Other Than
 Teaching

What to do with school teachers dur ing the summer vacation is a problem that is now engaging the attention ot those interested in the labor situation. Quite a number of teachers in the Bir- minghap4 schools and some from other places have made application to the local United States employment agency in tho Chamber of Commerce building during the last few days for work With very few exceptions they do not claim to be qualified for any particular work other than teaching, but express willingness to take such positions as they may be able to fill.
 These applications come from boch men and women, and about the same ia- tio of those qualified for business occu- pations or trades maintains in both sexes
 The majority of the applications have been by letter, but a few have called in person at the agency office. With hard ly an exception, however, they express a preference for office work, and the sal ary demands of some of them are rather high
 The receipt of these letters and per sonal applications from teachers set Lewis Bowen, examiner in charge, 10 th1nk1nS. Tn SpeahlnS oI the IldtlSi yesterday he said:
 Here is a large body of men and women who have nothing to do for a period of little over three months. In most instances they are not fitted either by training CT experience to engage in any other kind of work. While they ale idle the government and industrial plants are crying fo1 labor; thousands of men and women are needed here and else where to bring production up to govern mental and regular commercial require nents.
 Tt seems to me that some plan might be worked out whereby these people could be usefully employed during the vacation or at least those who want tc work and earn something between school terms. The teachers themselves might get together and devise some plan. lr this connection l think it would be 8 good idea for the teachers to take train ing during the school term in some kim ri work outside of their regular ern plovment, so that they might, in tho event it became necessary, enter into l.usiress or commercial life without tn; handicap of unpreparedness. Such |: training schoo, could be conducted with cut interfering with the duties of thC teachers and would take very little Lf their time.'
 The monthly report of the local United States employment agency for May makes the following showing:
 Mems division: Applications from em ployers, 149; number of men wanted. 33S6 number of men applying for work, DPS referred to employers, 742i actually em pleyed, 6M.

 1 President Sims came to this circuit te arouse interest in the Alabama Bar asso- citation and to impress the lawyers witt
 the fact that any changes in the judicia system at the next legislature can only | be obtained by the acts of the lawyers themselves by organizing, deciding what , is necessary and then asking for the Legislation needed MT. Sims says thai
 the judicial system adopted at the legis I lature of 1915 is the most modern in tho United States, but that there are num- Der of matters that need correction.

The bill being presented by the soldier actors from Camp Mcclellan at the Jeff ferson next Wednesday and Thursday is claimed by them to be the very best en- tertainment they have ever attempted, and folks who witnessed their two previ- ous performances will agree that that is a rather large statement.
 The boys have collected the very best talent in the division, and have assem- bled them into bill of 12 vaudeville acts, that are worthy of big time presentation
 Sergeant Porter, who is the manager and director of the troupe, claims that they can equal any set of acts presented or one bill by any variety circuit in the country, and if they measure up to their previous efforts, the statement does not seem so extravagant.
 Preparations had been under way for the troupe to take an extended tour through the north, but the ways of wom-

WOMEN BEGIN WORK .ON WAR SAVINGS SALE IN ALABAMA
Volunteer Relief Associa- ti0n Will Place Booths at Various Downtown
 Points

Mrs. Richard Johnston addressed the regular meeting of the Volunteer Relief association on Wednesday, in regard to
 the organization of women for war saw
 ings work. Mrs. Johnston spoke with great feeling of war conditions and point
 ed out that never have the young women
 of the state been given the executive re-
 sponsibility of any war drive. Mrs.
 Johnston is state director of the woma n S
 division of the war savings committee,
 and in perfecting her organization pro-
 poses to draw from the ranks of younger
 women, the wives, sweethearts and sis-
 ters of the Alabama soldiers. Upon these
 will rest the responsibility of pushing
 the sale of War Savings Stamps, of bear
 ing the burden of directing the activities
 of Alabama women in this regard
 Mrc- Johnstons talk was greeted with
 great enthusiasm and backed by con
 structivc thought at every point The re-
 suit is that the Volunteer Relief associa-
 tion has undertaken to push the war saw ings organization to successful issue
 This fact will meet with much interest
 among Birmingham people who know
 something of the Volunteer Relief asso- citation. its work and ideals. Two years of active, constructive, humanitarian and civic work have placed this group of younger women in a position of recogni- ton by many older, maturer organiza- tions. The undertaking of such impor- tant war service will naturally bring
 much attention to it's efforts.
 Already plans are under way for early results. Birmingham proper and Jeffer- son county will first be organized, then lines of force will be made to extend throughout the state. This will be ac- c1mp1sned under the direction of the woman's executive board, which is com posed of the following members:
 State director, Mrs R. F. Johnston; state chairman, Miss Margaret Gage; state organization chairman, Miss Au- gusta Clark state press chairman, Mrs. U. D. Moore, Jr.; literature chairman, Mrs w. M. Given business women's chairman, Miss Annie Lynch; feature publicity chairmen, Mrs. w. H. Kettig, Mrs Jchn Lewis Cox: Jefferson county chairrnen, Mrs Raymond Jones; city chairmer, Mrs. Hugh Martin, Miss Bev- eriy Leake; secretary of committee, Miss Florine Hodges
 The city chairman announces that through tho kindness of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company booths have been furnished, which will be placed at inter- vals about the city. These booths will be attended by Birmingham girls, many of whom will be drawn from it's schools.
 The Art club of the Central High school has offered its cooperation in this work. The booth is intended as sales center for War Savings Stamps, to act as stimulus on the citizenry, to furnish in- formation with regard to war savings work.
 Headquarters of the woman's commit tee will be opened shortly, fully equipped for extensive activity. The organization of war savings societies throughout Ala
 bama will be the object Of the board, each society to be a nucleus for future war and Humanitarian service.
