CONGRESSMEN AND
 SENATOR'S PUT ON
 NOTICE BY LOCAL
Railway Employees Demand Support of Government Ownership in Resolu-
 tiOn Passed

Local 5S5 of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of day employees and railway shop laborers of Birmingham have passed a resolution demanding that Alabama members of both the upper and lower house do everything in their power to have the railroads of the nation rema in under government control or government ownership.
 The resolution follows: Whereas, it is a known fact that the railroads in the hands of the private own- CT were incapable of fulfilling the duties of public carriers with any degree of success;
 Whereas, the management of the diff ferent railroad systems time and time again declared it was impossible to find the money for the betterment and up- keep of their properties. and the i'm, provements necessary for terminal and road facilities;
 Whereas, under private management tkere was embargo after embargo placed upon necessary freight movements throughout the whole country;
 Whereas, through private management and private manipulations there were many railroad systems placed in the hands of receivers;
 Whereas, through state laws of various states there was no uniformity of tar ifs and restrictions upon railroads which created little short of national disas- ter;
 Whereas, under private management the worker was enslaved by low wages and poor working conditions without any redress, except through strikes and the attendant inconvenience to the public;
 Whereas, the private management of railroads maintained policy of the "pub- lie be damned and this policy did not work, either to the convenience or bene- fit of either shippers or receivers, thereby having a tendency to increase the cost of living to the workers and the public in general;
 Whereas, the management under pri- vete controlled railroads impoverished the systems by paying high salaries to unnecessary officials and corporation law yers and lobbyists;
 Therefore, be it resolved, That Local No. 5S5 of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes and Rail- way Shop Laborers of Birmingham, Ala. hereby demand that you, as senators and ccngressmen of the United States, elected by popular vote from this district, do in future make every effort in your pow CT to have the railroads remain under government control or under government ownership. It is further
 Resolved, That copy of this resolution be forwarded to all our representatives, both in state and federal houses. It is therefore further
 Resolved, That a copy of this resolu- ton be printed in city papers.

AUBURN DESIGNATED AS TRAINING SCHOOL
Disabled Soldiers and Sailors to Be Given Free Voca-
 tional Training

The Alabama Technical Institute at Au- burn has been designated by the gov- ernment as one of the institutions at which disabled soldiers sailors and ma rines may receive technical training at government expense. Thousands of the young men who served their country in the war against Germany were wounded and disabled from performing the work they had been accustomed to do before joining the colors. The government real izing the importance of making these men self-supporting and independent devised the scheme of educating them in some trade or vocation in which their disa. bilities would not be handicap.
 Electricity is one of the branches that will be taught these disabled soldiers, sailors and marines at Auburn. In bulletin just issued the federal board for vocational education, branch office of which has been opened in room 101 Jef- ferson County courthouse, says:
 "Electricity in all it's branches is prov- ing immensely attractive to the disabled soldiers. sailors and marines who are taking the free trade and professional education placed at their disposal by the United States government, through the federal board for vocational education. Men who had smattering of electrical ir formation before the war are now giv- en the opportunity to perfect themselves and become really skilled in the partic- ular branches which they have chosen.
 Men taking the courses are. if un- married, supported by an allowance of $e5 per month from the federal board; more is given if the man has depend ents. There is no set time in which course must be finished. The sole crite- rion is the ability of the man to carry on under commercial conditions. If it is a wage earning branch of the trade he is qualifying for, a position is ready for him when he Is ready for 1t, the place. ment division of the federal board hay ing arranged for the employment"

Field Representatives Doing Splendid Work
 for War Savings Stamps
Past Week Very Satisfactory in the
 Organization of War Savings .s Stamp Societies

The past week was a very successful one in the War Savings campaign in Alabama, the four field representatives having obtained satisfactory results in the districts covered by them. Sew eral savings societies, the organiza- tion of which is being especially urged by the War Loan body. were formed and arrangements for a number of others made.
 z. E. Bellah, in charge of the work among the postoffices, made a tour of north Alabama, going into Morgan, Colbert. Franklin, Winston and Walker counties. He reports that the people are taking to the thrift idea readily, and that postmasters at the account ing offices are organizing right along.
 J. H. Jackson spent the greater part of the week in west Alabama confer ring with county school superintcn- dents and reports that everyone he saw is enthusiastic on the subject of savings societies and promised to lend every encouragement possible to their organization.
 James D. Dickson worked in the Birmingham district and secured the promise of nearly every bank to act as a direct selling agent for War Sav- ings and Thrift Stamps.
 Mrs. Thomas Cobb organized savings societies at Acipco and at the Kilby Frog & Switch company's plant, and arranged for similar organizations at a number of other industrial establish ments.
 Mrs. R. F. Johnston, state chairman of the women's committee. made tour of south Alabama, addressing women's county organizati tions and per- fecting the organizations in the coun- ties.
 State Director Arthur c. Crowder yesterday received acceptances from A. s. Preston, appointed chairman of Walker county. and L. N. Buell., ap- pointed chairman of Cullman county. MT. Preston was county chairman of Walker county last year and MT. Buell. was vice chairman of Cullman county. These two counties stood at the head of counties in the matter of War Saw ings and Thrift Stamp sales in 1918.

State Director Strongly Urges the Continuance of Service in Interest of Discharged SoldiersLocal Civic Bodies
 and Labor Organizations Seek Amendment to Bill

Friends of the United States employ ment service areivery much aroused over the action of the appropriations com mittee of the national House of Repre- sentatives in emitting from the appropri- ations bill recently reported any provi- sion for the continuance of that service They have taken the matter up with the members of Congress with a view to hav- a clause inserted making the necessary appropriation for the next fiscal year.
 Telegrams and letters have gone for ward to the Alabama delegation from the Civic association, several of the labor organizations and a number of citizens of Birmingham and the Birmingham dis trict urging them to support an amend ment to the appropriations bill that will enable the employment service to con tinue beyond the end of the present fisca! year.
 George B. Tarrant, state director for Alabama, gave out a statement yester- day in which he reviews the work done by the employment service and strong ly urges it's continuance. In the state ment he says:
 Information comes from Washington that the House appropriation commit tee has reported the sundry civil serv- ice appropriation bill without any provi- sion for the United States employment service for the next fiscal year, but tha' minority report, signed by five of the members of the committee, was filed in which it is stated that the federal employment service is part of the of- ficial machinery of the government for the return of soldiers and war workers to peace industry. and that it is time

LOCAL SALVATION ARMY ID BUILD NEW. HEADQUARTERS HERE.
Captain Main Tells of Needs of Headquarters Building and of Plans for the
 Spring Drive

In commenting on the discard of the tambourine and free-will offering box, and the adoption of modern methods for raising funds by the Salvation Army. Capt. David Main of the locel army corps said yesterday: Many will be interest ed to know whether we intend to follow these new methods in our division. Of course we are going to follow the instruc- tions from headquarters.
 We are strengthening our organiza- tion for big drive during one week in May, and, after that we will not solicit any more until the next year. To this end we are already organizing strong citizens committees composed of some of the leading men and women of the city, to assist us, and have obtained the services of several experts on this sort of work
 "One of the greatest drawbacks to our work here has been our lack of a head quarters building. It has been from pillar to post, with us ever since the work was organized here 25 years ago. There are three branches of our work, the Rescue Home for Women and Chill dren, at s30l Avenue E, headquarters at 51h Twentieth street. north, and our hall for holding religious services, at the same place. Of these three we own only one the rescue home.
 Lowest estimates obtainable for a building for headquarters are between $75,0o0 and $S5,000. It takes an average of $20,OO0 annually to carry on our local work. Thus 1t is seen that we will have to raise about sl0o,000 if we intend to erect headquarters building this year.
 'The gulf division, with headquarters in Birmingham, takes in Alabama, Mis- sissippi and parts of Georgia, Florida and Louisiana. There are 20 large cities in this division, and our allotment of the s10, ,0O0, 900 budget will probably be about $25Q, 600. This would make our proposed work seem unreasonable, but all of these 20 cities have permanent headquarters except this one, and ours Is the division headquarters.
 "Of course we are confident of rais- ing this sum, and expect the hearty cooperation of all Birmingham citizens"

Good Samaritan"
 Theme of Sermon

At the First Christian church yester- day morning Dr. Simpson used the para ble of the Good Samaritan. He said in part:
 "In this parable the Master took strip of mountain road and made it a road of the ages as He put into it's dust the footprints of four types the world will always have.
 There was the traveller with whose pitiable condition the story begins. He may have been from Jerusalem or Jeri- cho with its unflattering traditions may have been his home. The teacher does not classify him as to race or creed He is the most unknown of all the men who play their part in the parable. We know the criminal calling of the rob bers, and the exalted profession of the priest the tribe of the Levite and the na ationality of the Samaritan; but the wounded traveller we do not know by creed nor clan. The robbers represent those who make the road of life peril o,rs. They did not care who the man was or what his race.
 ''The vicious groups that seek to harm men and rob them of honor do not ask what tribe, what caster The groups who are supposed to help men ought not to ask for tribal and caste classification before they aid. The robbers chose the loneliest place in the road and the man who was alone in his journeying. The lonely places in the road are the peril ous places. Temptations are strongest when there are lonely hours on our hands.
 "The priest and I.evite represent the people who leave the road perilous by their negative attitude. They had 1t within their power to have made the road safer. They may have thought they were doing their full duty by ministerins part of the time in temple at one end of the road and part of their time in tteir homes at the other end of the road Many are following in their footsteps in that conception of service.
 The church must be more than place of worship. It must be force in the making of -worshippers of God in young people who will serve Him with the strength of bodies kept as temple of holy spirit. It must be a force in the making of worshippers In pagan communities overseas It must be a roadhouse in it's ministry to those wounded and bruised by sin.
 "The Samaritan represents the compass sicnate type. He was moved with com passion. Sorrow may get into your eyes and at the tip of your tongue in full

to go slow in discounting those forms of rational service which tend to keep down the dangers of bolshevism, by as sisting during the transition from war to peace conditions. the soldiers and workers who have borne the brunt of the war.
 "The United States employment service was organized as a war measure, and that it has fulfilled it's purpose is shown by the numbers of workmen who have been placed in employment since organi- zation. Up to the date the amistice was signed, more than 100000 workmen had been placed in employment through this agency, and, immediately upon the signing of the armistice, workmen were gradually released from war work, and the employment service since that date has been placing on an average of 10o,00O workmen per week, or yearly average of over 50o,0oO men.
 "The employment service in this state has placed on an average to 10000 to 15,ooo workmen monthly since August, 1918. Owing to the Birmingham district being the largest industrial center in the south and numbers of workmen flock ing here in search of work, 1t has been found impossible to place all applicants now on hand; but, for the period be- ginning with August 1, 1918, and ending January 13, 1919, there were placed in the Birmingham district (Greater Bir. mingham and suburbs), more than 1ooW workmen.
 "The United States employment service is placing at the present time in the state of Alabama an average of from $50 to $50 returning soldiers and sailors each week, in addition to large numbers or war workers and others employed in civil employment

This matter was con- sidered last yoar, but on account of the war conditions was not brought to head, but at this meeting the members hope to perfect their plans and get into oper- ation along export lines.
 The convention will also consider Sec retary Lanes suggestion regarding the cut-over lands under the control of the various mill operators who are members of the association, and it is very likely that they will take some action favorable to the occupation of these lands by the returned soldiers who desire to utilize them for farming.
