MILEAGE BOOKS NOT
 ACCEPTABLE AFTER
 JUNE 10, RULING
Purchaser Given Benefit for Distance Travelled PrOpor- tiOnal to Contract After
 Date, However

In view of the announcement of the United States railroad administration that the sale of mileage tickets will be discontinued June 10, 1918, the opinion apparently prevails on the part of the public that all mileage tickets purchased prior to June 10, 1918, will be good for passage to one year from date sold.
 This is not fact. Mileage tickets sold on any date prior to June TO- 1918, will not be honored for passage on or after June 10, 1918.
 Unused portions of mileage tickets solo prior to June 10. 191s will, however, be subject to redemption, and the United States railroad administration has ruled as follows:
 Tn redemption of mileage scrip or ere dential forms, the purchaser shall be given the benefit for the distance tray eled of net basis proportional to that which would have applied had the entire book been used according to its con tract.
 This advice is given in advance for the information of passengers in or der that they be ruiiy advised before purchasing mileage scrip or credentia forms of tickets for intrastate or inter state travel.

 West Virginia

Negro iaborers who went from the Bir- mingnam district to West Virginia last year to work in the coal mines are said to be very much dissatisfied with condi- tions there.

 For the purpose of ascertainng the ac- tual conditions in the West Virginia coai fields, James Gardner, q hard-work ing, intelligent and respected colored man who has worked in the coal mines of .hia district fo. great many years, made q trip to sthat state. He returned a day or two ago and. talking of conditions there IS he found them, he said to an Age Herald reporter yesterday;
 tThe exodus of miners of my race from Alabama and the many reports concern ing conditions in distant mining districts induced me to visit certain fields north and east of us that l might see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears tue exact status of affairs in those fields 1 spent inc days in West Virginia among the mines and the miners. and want 10 warn my people against the false coloring of conditions up there made by labor agents who are practicing crue deception for the gain they get in fees for handling labor and not to the benefi, of colored men and women who lister to their slren voices.

The experiment is, of course, eN- pensive to the misled miners, who have thus been duped, and l feel 1t my Juty to sound the warning and in measure to prevent further mistakes along that line. We who know the Alabama coal field can not but recognize the fact that mining conditions here are better than ever before in the history of the dis trict. and that we are happier and more prosperous than we can possibly hope to be in distant states to which we are strangers and where the environment is unhappy and non-conducive to com- fort, health and prosperity"

 WENT WITH DATA
 When the local committee of bankers appeared before the federal reserve beard in Washington recently. in re. sponse to an invitation from the board, they went prepared with data showing the magnitude of the industrial and banking activities of the territory tribu- taTy to Birmingham, and it was an- nounced al the time that they made a very strong impression on the members of the federal reserve board. It was shown that the weekly pay roll of the Birmingham district and the Tennessee valley aggregated over $2,0 ,000, and that the volume of business transacted in this territory severely taxed the banks te take care Of it.
