A mass meeting of the Birmingham Bar, presided over by F. H. Cabaniss. the following resolution was adopted unanimously upon the motion of E. J. Smyer.
 Whereas. the Birmingham district is without representation on either the SUI preme or the appellate court of the state and is the district in which more than ne-fourth of the entire litigation ap- peaed to those courts arises and.
 Whereas, it is to the interest of justice that there be upon one, at least. of these courts a lawyer familiar with the conditions and customs of the pub lie. the court and the bar of this dis trict and.
 Whereas, our brother. ex-Judge Rich ard V. Evans, of Birmingham. is thor oughly familiar with all the conditions obtaining in the Birmingham district, and has already served upon the ap- pellate court so acceptably to the bar of the state that his ability and fitness for the place are without question; now. therefore be it
 Resolved. that the Birmingham bar does indorse Judge Evans as our candi- date for election to the position upon the court of appeals to be filled at the com ing election. and respectfully solicit the voters of all parts of the state to recog- nize the justice of our claim and the soundness of our contention that this judgeship should be bestowed upon our candidate"

Street Car Trouble in
 Montgomery Expected

Montgomery, August 10-(Special)- )-Mll- itary authorities at Camp Sheridan are interested in an inevitable controversy be- tween officials of the Montgomery Trac- ton company and members of recently organized street carmens union. At a meeting at o'clock Saturday morning the motormen and conductors met for the purpose of perfecting the organization and electing officers. As yet no demands have been made upon Richard Tiliis, president Of the company, but Montgom- cry remembers a controversy that re- suited a year ago when the president re fused to recognize the union of street carmen.
 At that time a strike was ordered be- cause Mir TI.lis refused to recognize the union. Soon the strike order was re scinded and the men were granted an increase in wages. R. P. Bernhardt, vice president of the state organization or street carmen, had charge of reorganiz- ing the new union.
 Thousands of soldiers daily ride to and from Camp Sheridan on street cars of the traction company, and military au- thorties, as we'll as Montgomery citizens. are much interested in the negotiations between company and employees.
