STRIKING SHOPMEN RET|CENT IN REGARD
 ID OFFICIAL ORDER
Meeting Last Night Held Behind Closed Doors and No Statement Given
 for Publication

Approximately TO striking shopmen and Air Line railroad shops, who walked out at early hour yesterday morning, at tended a general mass meeting held at 8 o'clock last night on the third floor of the Ben-Hur hall. Several hundred strikers were from the Southern, while only few were from the Seaboard Air Line railroad shops, owing to the fact that not many men are employed by that company in this city, it is said. The men were addressed by local leaders of their union and much enthusiasm was shown. The hall was filled to it's capacity.
 Not only were there members of the striking shopmen present but numbers of sympathizers from the other rail- roads of the city who have not been affected as yet.
 When a representative of The Age- Herald arrived he found the door guard ed by two men who stated that it was a closed meeting. Talks with the men on the outside revealed but very little regarding the real purpose of the meet
 
 to keep quiet. When referred to pub licity committee, it was even more mum than the men. It stated that it was not giving out any information at the present time.
 Some of the men were of the opinion count of the fact that the employees of the other railroads of the city had not been called out. Others stated that, if it be- came necessary, the whole local shop and car men of the city would strike, possibly tomorrow. No one seemed to know exactly when the official orders would be given for a general strike.
 It is stated that there are about 400 car men and equally as many machin- ists who will walk out if necessity de- mands
 Communications with the Frisco, L. & N, Illinois Central and other railroads that run into the city, other than those previously mentioned, were to the effect that they were not affected and were expecting no trouble with their men.
 Some of the shopmen of the l.. & N. railroad stated that it had been rumored among them that the employees of the Southern and Seaboard Air Line had not received any instructions from headquar- ters to strike, but had walked out on their own account.
 Men who were present at the meeting last night stated that no further action would be taken until further orders had been received from the pnoper author ities. The chief executives of the local union affected are now in Washington on the grievance committee in confer ence with the heads of the various rail roads affected and those in charge To- cally state that nothing will be done un- til they are advised by the ones in Wash ington. , :.
 Another mass meeting will be held, 1t was stated, at 2:3O o'clock at the same place this afternoon.

 $4,500,0 900 IN BONDS ASKED
 "On August IS the citizens of Bir- mingham will vote upon six proposi- tions, all of very great importance to their city. These propositions are as follow:
 "Three-m district school tax.
 'One million dollar bond issue for high schools
 Two million dollar bond issue for other schools.
 Five hundred thousand dollars for auditorium.
 Five hundred thousand dollars for city hall and library
 Five hundred thousand dollars for fire stations. fire equipment and fire alarm system.
 'The first three of these proposi- tions are simply being revoted The 3-mill tax was declared unconstitu- tional because the levy was for a period greater than the levy made by the county of Jefferson. and now the voters are asked to revote the same tax to run concurrently with the coun ty tax, or until 1927.
 '1n connection with this school tax the people of Birmingham are remind ed that it did not make any increase in the local tax rate when the three mills were voted. At that time the city was levying 5-mill sinking fund tax, and the commi ssoners reduced this tax to two mills when the 3-mill school tax was levied. The tax rate in Bir mingham has been 10 mills for many years. and it will continue to be 10 mills when the 3-mill tax is voted on August IS.
 "The defeat of the measure is un- thinkable, as the consequence would be nothing short of a calamity. The bond issue of S1 100000 for high school purposes was voted following the destruction by fire of the Central High school and the purpose is to re- place the Central High school and to build a new high school in the east ern section of the city. where splen- did site has been purchased for this purpose. The first issue of bonds for | this purpose became involved in the ] 3mill tax litigation, hence the action | of the commissioners in asking that | the issue be revoted. | The grammar school programme em' | braces the following:

great delicacy, but brains are spurned
by the majority, for no reason than
that they are not in the habit of cook

Liver from whatever animal Is ten

it palatable, while kidney should have
either a long, slow cooking or very
short stage; there Is no middle ground

long time, or it may be sliced and

Greens, beets, spinach, dandelions may
be cooked with spareribs.
Sweetbreads are too expensive in
the city for the average family, but in
the country where there is less de-

Pile Fabrics Popular

The prophecy that, when the price
Of pile fabric clashes with that of a
fair quality fur, the latter is preferred,
does not seem to be borne out in the
operations of the cloak manufacturers
for fall. Pile fabrics in the most ex-
pensive makes are proving so popular
with the buyers that 1t is estimated
the supply is going to fall far short of
the demand. The pile fabric makers
believe that the most important rea.
son for this successful competition of
their product with fur Is that the
imitation has reached a stage where
it is difficult to tell the difference be-
tween it and the real thing. Another
reason asCribed IS the better wearing
quality of the artificial fur.

Bio Demand for Skirts

The great retail demand for summer
skirts has cleaned out retail stocks and
showered the manufacturers with du-
plicate orders. Flannels and gabardines
are among the leaders, although linens
and crepes are getting their usual
heavy demand. White is most desired,
but the pastel shades are attracting
more than the usual amount of atten-
ton given to colored skirts for the sum-
mer.' The scarcity of silks and the
high prices quoted by jobbers of such
material, will turn to other fabrics, it
is said, some of the business that would
otherwise go to silk numbers.
