BIRMINGHAM HAS
 i CHANCE ID SECURE | LOCOMOTIVE WORKS
Committee to Present Ad' vantages of District for Location Branch Plant
 of Baldwin Company

A number of business men held con
 ference yesterday at which steps were taken to lay Birmingham's advantages as location for locomotive plant be- fore the government. Rumors have been in circulation for several weeks to the effect that the Baldwin company, one of the largest locomotive works in the world. had Birmingham in view as the possible location of the plant they con template building in the south. It is understood that the government is interested in this matter and will lave decisive voice in selecting the place at which the new works will be located. One Birmingham industrial concern, it is stated. is interested in the proposed plant, and is now working on the proposition.
 Several other southern cities are mak- ing efforts to secure the plant and in order that Birmingham may not be over looked when the time for deciding comes the conference of Birmingham business men was held yesterday. A committee
 was appointed to formulate and present to the government a statement setting out what Birmingham had to offer in the way of sites, shipping facilities and materials necessary in making locomo- tives.
 When the statement is ready for pre- sentation the committee will go to Wash ington and with Senators Bankhead and Underwood. who bave already been communicated with, take it up with the government officials having the matter in charge.
 It is stated that the proposed locomo- tive works to be built in the south will be one of the largest in the country and that aside from representing an in vestment running high up in the mil lions of dollars, will give employment 10 several thousand skilled and highly paid workmef.

J. o. Thompson Nominated For
 Congress in the Ninth District
Commissioner Taylor Receiues Request for $25 Per Month Increase From Policemen
Commissioner of Public Safety Doing Intensive Training and Hoping the Draft Will Get Him-Petton
 Signed By Nearly All of Police Force

A raise of s9 per month. granted by the commission last February, but not effective until October 1, was to be included in the next budget filed by Commissioner Tay Tor with the commission. But now its five times the trouble Com missioner Taylor figured upon,
 At present Birmingham pays to the guardians of her peace a sum of 12,000, but the increase asked would raise the figures to s14,000, and that would mean an increase in other departments once the bali started to rolling. And yet. no man planes the boys in uniform, for they certainly must have d hard time getting three meals d day and taking care of their fami- lies on the stipends they draw now.
 Just what will be the result of the request of the policemen is problematical. and it may take reams of paper to figure out the "whys and wherefores," but in the meantime. Commissioner Taylor is doing intensive training and hop ing the draft will get him.

You were wrong when you de- cded that the active gentleman around all matters pertaining to selective draftmen, parades, pa- triotic celebrations or matters mill itary in Birmingham was a movie star or camerist-absolute wrong. It was and will ever be John Yeatman, a bombastic, dyna- mic committee Of one who always takes care of the details for all of the affairs that most people shun. He likes it, because he is of that disposition to wade in and help. get dinner ready, even to the peeling of the "spuds."
 In everyday life MT. Yeatman is < known as a member of the Yeat- man-Baugh company, haberdash- CTS, in the Brown Marx building, but if there is anything doing in war work, especially if it be in connection with the Kiwanis club, he jumps right in and leaves the haberdashery outfit to his part ner. Dunk" Baugh.
 There is no better fellow in Bir- minghain than John T, Yeatman, and as a national guardsman, he reached majorship, and he can't get over the military life. He has friends galore, but is not a seeker after publicity. The only way the above photograph could be secured was through the courtesy of his wife, and the borrower is now under bond for its return, as it is family relic. so the informant says.
 MT. Yeatman will answer a call at any moment for Woodrow Will son, or for anyone who is trying to help the President put the skids under William. He is always on the job in every movement for civic betterment Everybody in Birmingham should know John Yeatman-or be ashamed of them- selves

John H. Taylor, commissioner of public safety, may lose some sleep and perhaps won't be as peppery as he was on his return from great fishing trip down at Golden, but it's dollars to doughnuts that John won't lose any of his hair scratching his head over the prob lem of how he will raise the pay of all the Birmingham policemen $25 per month-for be it known that the commissioner of public safety long since lost enough of the covering that once adorned his head to make scratching said head easy and unimpaired by such an useless ornament as just plain hair.
 Practically every member of the police department has attached his signatures to petition under date of August 20, wherein the city fathers are asked to hoist their pay $25 per month. Taylor wishes he knew how to do it. He wants to do it, but he can't for the life of himself or the municipality see how it can be "did.--

T have worked the men in my de- partment organized and unorganized. and don't hesitate to say that since their organization their efficiency has been increased at least 50 per cent.

 It is expected by the local firemen that the organization here will be of great benefit to the department and to the men.
