Birmingham coal operators are eagerly awaiting developments at the Indianapo- lis conference today at which the press dispatches state settlement of the coal miners strike may be effected.

Army Figures Show Ravages of Tu-
 berculosis-American Legion Fa- vors Sale of Seals

Local veterans of the world war evince keen interest in the fight against tuberculosis-a personal prob lem with many of them, as shown by the military records.
 Official support of the Red Cross Christmas seal campaign is announced by the American Logion, which adopt ed resolutions to that effect at the national convention at Minneapolis re- gently.
 In placing the American Legion on record as enlisting in the crusade against the white plague. which claims 15o 900 lives yearly, the sponsors of the resolution called attention to the fact that, according to draft figures. enough men to comprise nearly three divisions were marked as unfit for military duty.
 The resolutions read as follows:
 "Whereas, the fighting and working efficiency of the nation depends upon the public health all organizations whose efforts minister to healthier manhod and womanhood deserve the support of the members of the Amer ican Legion.
 "Especially mindful of the ravages of tuberculosis as revealed not only by the military records. but by the sta- tistics from civil life. we commend the work being done by the national. state and country anti-tuberculosis associa- tions We therefore commend to our membership and to the public the cam paign to promote the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals and pledge our sup port to the efforts being made to erad- icate the white plague"

PRODUCTION IS KEY
 ID LOWER PRICES
Joe Saks Says Continuing Demand for Goods Great
 CT Than Production
OF BIRMINGHAM. ALA.

Joe saks of the Louis Saks Clothing mand for better merchandise with the shortage of production is the basis for the continuance of. high prices. k Mir. Saks also says intelligent buying or the part of the ptblie more produc- ton on the part of labor with the proper compensation and protection for the mer- cantile interests of the country are most essential for bringing down costs.
 People are clamorng for the better grade of merchandise in every line said MT Saks, who has recently returned from the east. and with the shortage of pro- Aduction as exists at present prices must remain high and even go higher Give us production and we will give the public lower prices.
 During war times the retailers of the United States, through the various state and city associations, promulgated the economic programme to the utmost. They rendered valuable aid to the United States and her allies and saved them millions of dollars in textiles.
 we must acknowledge that today we are in the midst of industrial readiust- mentS, and being deSirouS of lending our help to bring about normal conditions we all favor a safe and wise economic plan which will guarantee to labor adequate compensation and to the mercantile in ests the protection necessary to a safe conduct of business
 The national associations are recom- mending substantial increase in the hours of labor in needle trades with q minimum working week of 4S hours The manufacturers whom I have had an op- portunitv to consult with do not object to the high wage if the workers would keep the production up. I know that in a great many of the larger clothing fac tories 20 per cent of the machines are idle
 Every one is demanding the best of everything, and if the demand so far ex- ceeds the supply and if the working hours are shortened goods will continue to remain high and even go higher
 Production, as I said before is the keynote of lower prices, and if the manu- lecturers can obtain sufficient production prices will readily readjust themselves and merchandise will be cheaper, even though the present wage scale is main tained.
 So let's all get together in peace time as We did in war time and work together for the benefit and welfare of our fellow man. for by helping him we help our selves"

NOT FOR HEATING PURPOSES

All stores in Birmingham and vi cinity were kept open yesterday after noon until the usual closing hour The modified order, however does not per init the use of coal or gas for heating purposes, but with the weather con tinuing mild as it has been the past few days, absence of heat from o'clock in the afternoon until closing time will work no inconvenience or discomfort
 The local weather observation bureau announced last night that a cold wave is on its way south and that the tenn perature will go considerably below the freezing point, probably to 20, by tomorrow morning. With the cold wave coming a cessation of the heavy rains of the past two days may be ex- pected. but it is believed that there is enough water, in the Coosa river above Lock 2 to maintain at least a normal level at the hydro plant for several days.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Registration of Negroes

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Please allow space to lifelong col ored democrat to write a word or two on negro registration. I desire to say to my democratic friends that the intelligent negro will no longer follow fake gods. and that whenever a colored man is in- telligent, industrious and conservative. it is safe to register him. Colored men who own property and conduct them selves properly are sounder voters and better Americans than the Berger a5d Berkman element, so prevalent in Jeff ferson county. Like all good democrats. am opposed to wholesale senegarfi- bian registration, but where a member of my race is worthy It would be wise for our democratic friends to see that he is registered.
