HUTCHINSON PLANS RECRUITING DRIVE
 WITH RED CROSS
Five-Dollar Fee Usually Given POstmasters for Se- curing Recruits Would
 Be Given Red Cross

A plan to inaugurate campaign to secure recruits for the regular army Is being planned and an effort is being made to interest the Red Cross work CTS in this drive. Postmasters of sec
 md. third and fourth class offices are paid s5 for every recruit they secure who Is accepted and enlisted in the regular army, and it is planned to have the women of the Red Cross work in this drive and. instead of the post masters of second, third and fourth class offices keeping the money paid for securing recruits this amount be turned over to the Red Cross.
 Fly the Red Cross workers assisting postmasters in securing recruits, they will be killing two birds with one stone, by assisting the government in raising procuring a contribution for the Red Cross or any other charitable institu- ton.
 Although there have been many drives for the prosecution of the war, there has never been drive for re- cruits, with the exception of those in augurated and made by the recruiting officers throughout the state, and it is almost impossible to reach the in- dividuals in small localities and ex- plain the service to them. However, this could effectively be done by post masters and municipal officials in the rural districts.
 Capt James B. Hutchinson, Of the local recruiting station. in speaking of the proposed. drive said ''voluriteer en- listments are made from nonregistered men between .8 and 21 and 31 and 40 years of age, who have not registered. The SJ is not paid for applicants for the United States guard. national army or national guard, but is paid for ap> plicants for the regular army.
 This is an excellent time to inau- gurate a campaign for recruits inas- much as the crops are now very nearly made and ready to lay by, therefore young men can be spared during this month and August, whereas 1t was all most impossible for them to enlist be- fore, as they had started a crop which was not in shape for them to leave
 Birmingham and Jefferson county have responded to every call for re- cruits most Loyalty and I believe has done as much and furnished as many young men to lick the Kaiser as any other city or county in the United States, but there are several outlying rural districts and counties that have not responded as they should This is due largely to the fact that the busi- ness men and general public have not taken the interest in their country and their young men. and have not brought the young men face to face with the duty they owe their country. and made them understand they were expected to do mans part in thls war. fighting for democracy. purity of women, Chris tianity's sake and the freedom of the world"

GOAL PRODUCERS IN ARMY MUST BE REPLACEDB OTHERS
No Coercive Methods Will Be Employed in the Redis- tribution of Labor, De-
 partment States

Beginning with July 1, when the work or fight order went into effect, the gov ernment took oyer the business of re-
 cruiting labor for all war industries, giv- ing priority, in the order named. to ship yards, railroads, coal mines and muni- tiens plants. Birmingham benefits under this new order of things to the extent of the number of men required to operate
 the coal mines and such plants as are engaged in making materials that go into the manufacture of munitions and guns
 To take advantage of this order, how
 eyen operators must file applic ations
 with the United States employment serv-
 ice at Washington and with the local
 agency which, in Birmingham, is lo- cated at 2s Nineteenth street north, stat
 ing the number of men and kind of la
 bor required, the output and capacity of the mines and such other information
 as the employment bureau may require.
 2,000,000 COAL PRODUCERS It is stated that by September l more
 than 100000 men from coal producing states will have been called into the army, and this will necessarily create q shortage of labor in those states, This shortage will have to be made up by transferring surplus labor or men cn :. gagged in nonessentials. in other states, 10
 the coal districts.
 The policy of the administration is to discourage private employment agencies, bidding against each other for workmen. which, in the past, has resulted in the shifting of labor from one district to another indiscriminately. with consequent disturbance and unsettlement in many industrial sections. In announcing it's new policy the labor department states RESOLUTION ADOPTED No coercive measures will be em- ployed in the redistribution of the labor supply of the country Raw materials will be withdrawn from industries pro ducing nonwar materials and their em- ployes will be assisted in reaching places where they can Serve the coun- try from war standpoint For several weeks the distribution of
 men out of employment has been con centrated on war industries and after August 1 these plants and activities will be given the only consideration in the al- lotment of men unless all of their needs should be met
 EXCELLENT TIME The war labor policies board, in this connection, adopted the following resolu- tion.
 "All recruiting of industrial labor fo4' public or private work connected with war shall be conducted through or in ac- cordance with methods authorized by the United States employment service The present working agreement between the department of labor and agriculture re- lating to recruiting of farm labor sha.
 not be affected hereby
 This programme will go into effect gradually by first applying 1t to unskilled labor, and thereafter as rapidly as pos sible to skilled labor"

CIVIC ASSOCIATION REFUSES ID LEI G0"
Warrior Boat Line Project Still Being Pushed by Local
 Civic Organization
Statement June 20, 1918 RESOURCES

The Civic association is still push ing the Warrior river boat line prot- ect letter was received by Secre- tary Manager c. l. Harold yesterday from Walter Parker, general manager of the New York association, which is assisting the local organization in this matter.
 The letter from Mir. Parker in part is as follows:
 T was inclined to feel that Judge Prouty was distinctly favorable to the Warrior river boat line project He seemed very much interested not only in the use of existing waterway facil- ities, but in the prospect of enlarged operations, which the canal that New Orleans is building from the river to Lake Pontchartrain, which gives a deeper channel, will give; also in the prospect of raising the dams in the Warrior river thus increasing the channel depth to eight feet; also in a statement I made to him regarding your efforts to extend the switching 3 zone of Birmingham to include Cordova and Maxine.
 DIRECT HAUL TO WATER
 "I am quite convinced the type of boats that will best serve the purpose of the Warrior river must include pro- vision for direct haul from the mines to New O1eans. Reloading at Mobile is an increased expense. 1 am making some investigation on this subject now understad that the type of self-pro- pelled barges which have been in use . can be modified and their power in creased. with great advantage to this ssrv:ce. I am told by competent men that with a fleet of 20 boats of this type on an eight-foot channel. the en- tire cost of moving and terminating coal from the mines and Mobile to New Orleans would not exceed sl.0s. I believe the rail rate is now $2.
 sThe railroad administration seems to have fixed in it's mind a differential in favor of water transportation of about 20 per cent"

POLITICS TAXES ON GREATER INTEREST ! AS DAY DRAWS NEAR Candidates Now Rapidly Qualifying for Various
 Offices to Be Filled LEGISLATIVE LIST
 GRADUALLY FILLING Republicans Become Active and Pre-
 cinct Mass Meetings Will Be
 Held in the County Saturday

With the last day for qualifying foi entry in the democratic primary cleo tion to be held on August 3 only one week off, just 2 candidates fo office in Jefferson county have so far aual- flied by signing the required pledge before Secretary Nisbet Hambaugh. Of these II are candidates for representa- tive in the legislature to which seven are to be elected
 It is stated that there will be In the neighborhood of 9 or 30 candidates for slow in coming forward. In addition to the II who have qualified only four or five other names have been men, toned in that connection, and there is some speculation as to the identity of the 10 or 15 probable entries
 Of those already qualified only three or four are known to be opposed to the ratification of the federal prohi- bition amendment, one or two have made no public announcement of their position on that question, and the others are avowedly for it's ratifica- ton.
 LIST OF THOSE QUALIFIED
 Those who have qualified with MT Hambaugh, and the offices for which they are candidates. follow, though others are known to be active candi- dates: For representative in Congress--M B Grace, Erie Pettus and F. M. Jackson. r< F. Howard and Conrad w. Austin. For State Senator--C. R. West. For Representative in the Legisla- ture-Thomas E. Huey, Samuel F. Lew is, William E. Dickson, R. L. Williams, Ira F. Randall, J. F. Elliott, w. S. Har- ris, John c. Arnold, Clark Williams Horace F. Waters, George Ross. For solicitor of the Circuit Court Alvin M. Douglas. Joseph k. Tate.
 For Solicitor Bessemer Inferior Court IL. H. Ethridge.
 For Deputy Solicitor Bessemer Divi- sion of the Circuit Court-Ben G. Perry
 Practically all of the candidates for state offices, including state senators and representatives in the legislature, representatives in Congress and circuit court solicitors have filed their decla- rations with the state committed, the Legislative and congressional candidates in most instances qualifying before both committees.
 Where they hare filed their declara- : tions with both committees it was done because of the ambiguity in the primary election law. The act govern ing primaries states that all cadnidates to be voted for in more than one coun- ty shall be certified by the chairman of the state committee, and all candi- dates for county offices shall be cer- tified by the chairman of the county committee. A question has been raised as to whether state senator or rep resentative in the legislature is state or county officer. If the former, then the state chairmans certificates is all that would be necessary; if the latter then the county chairman would have to make the certificate. The candidates are taking no chances.
