LAWYERS TO REQUEST
 COURTS TO ADJOURN ITO AID REGISTRANTS
Meeting Will Be Held at Courthouse Today to Discuss Advisability
 of Action

Henry R. Howze, president Of the local bar association. announces that at the conference held yesterday by the legal advisory boards of Birmingham it was decided to meet again today at 10 o'clock in Judge Pugh's courtroom at the courthouse for the purpose of dis cussing the advisability of asking the courts to adjourn in order that the law yers may aid the registrants in filling out their questionnaires.
 It is very likely that the courts will grant the request, in view of the fact that many of the witnesses, jurors and those interested in cases in courts will have to file their questionnaires and it will be almost impossible to conduct court without halting the work of the local boards.

 FOR .EMPLOYES
Secretary Shook of Manu- lecturers and Operators Association Mails Letter
 to All Members

Manufacturers and operators in Ala ban1a will receive today from A. M. Shook, Jr., secretary-treasurer of the Alabama Manufacturers and Operators association a letter in which he calls attention to the draft regulations and the conditions under which deferred classification may be granted employees engaged in essential work.
 This letter is peculiarly timely just flow in view of the fact that question: naires will be mailed by the local boards today to 10 per cent of the registrants between the ages of IS and 36 years, and 10 per cent every day thereafter until they shall go to every man within those ages.
 Before preparing the letter Mir Shook conferred with Secretary B. A. Pepper man of the local draft boards and ob- tained his opinion on certain matters about which there was some doubt or confusion. Embodying the views of him self and of MT. Pepperman, MT. Shook advises employers engaged in the manu- facture of essential products. and coal operators, to keep check on the ques- tionnaires filled out by their employees and see that such persons as are or may be necessary to the operation of thei. plants cldlfn IDelr eilS hcA classification on account of industriai oc- cupation.
 EMPLOYERS MAKE CLAIM @
 MT. Shook suggests. the advlsapilty oi the employers making the claim for de- ferred classification instead of the em- ploye, this in view of the fact Una. some employees may have been engaged in their present occupations only TOT short periods and, therefore, could haro- ly be considered as essential to the oper- ation of the plant.
 In this connection it IS interesting u note an address made recently by James R Neale. director of productions of the Tinted states fuel administration be- fore a meeting of coal operators, mlne sunerintendents and officials in which ne declared that 1t is the patriotic duty or mine workers to apply for deferred cias- sification He based this statement up on the proclamation of President wilson in which it was pointed out that it IS as ,,,,,cb an obligation for a true Ameri- ca n miner to mine coal as it is to work in the trenches. He pointed out that all war material, munitions, guns anu shells. depend on coal, and in the lace of the present great need too much CT fort could not be expended in bringing coal production up to the requirements of the war needs of the nation
 ACTUAL CARS PER DAY
 Addressing his remarks to the opera. tors. MT. Neale said the operators shouid not ask for more cars than their mines can actually use on any given day, eN- plaining that the new system or car rat ing inaugurated by the railroad aoIlln- istration would provide for each mine re- caiving exactly the number of cars which its actual performance in mining coal ln- dicated it could load from day to day. ~
