county Last year the total revenue for education was about $1.03o, ,000. the county getting it's 40 per cent. In ad- dition to this it had to borrow-$ i 50 900 in order to tide over the full nine months term. This year the total for Jefferson county will be $l,060000 or thereabouts of which the county will get it's normal 40 per cent.
 The monthly pay roll comes to about S50,0 so for a nine months term there will be a shortage of some $25.000. This is for salaries alone and there will be other expenses to be taken care of l At least 20 additional school rooms must be built -as corridors and hall- ways are now being used for class rooms. Also 1,000 new desks are re- quired and these will cost $7,000 alone, There is absolutely no provision made for upkeep of the buildings, repairs and equipment.
 This means that either the school term must be cut to eight months or else a loan floated as was done last year
 threefold, there is the mill state tax for educational purposes, the E mill county tax and the 3 mill district as- not meet the bill. Had the legislature allowed the extra million Jefferson county would have received $l00. 900 and the $I0.000 going to the county schools would have barely bridged the difficulty. It required a two-thirds majority to secure this million but the vote being g to 31 it failed to pass and the appropriations made by the budget committee will stand.

that all members of those unions were expected to join the ranks of the strik- CTS.
 At the mass meeting it was declared that the strike vas now no longer con- fined to the Ul ed States Steel corpora tion, but that t would extend to all companies now working under agree ments. Labor leaders of several crafts declared that their respective unions would join the ranks of the strikers within the next 24 hours. All speakers spoke confidently of the final success of the strike and urged all the men out to stand firm and that victory would be theirs.
 Secretary Ingram of the local strike committee declared that the estimated figures as to the number of men out on strike in this district were far below the actual number and that the figures given out by Secretary Foster as 1000 were correct. He also stated that the Italians who came out on strike were real Americans" and were proving loyal to the cause.
 Organizer Smoot, who was the first speaker. made the assertion that within 24 hours information. would be given out showing the true situation here and elsewhere. and that would show that victory for the strikers was assured He stated there had been some misunder- standing among the allied crafts as to their rarticipg tion in the strike, which had been cleared up and that they would be officially called out He crit iciZed some of the newspapers for what he declared to be unfair and distorted reports of the strike situation here and elsewhere.
 Other speakers were William Lynn, organizer, working with the local com mittee; H. J. Height, international or ganizer for the blacksmiths: s. L.. Whitehead, representative of the cleo trical workers, and others. All the speakers were positive in their asser- tions that the strike was progressing as well a could be expected. One speaker called attention to the fact that it took considerable time to train men and get them prepared for war and that it would necessarily take some time to train men for the cause they are now fighting for, but that they would win out in the end.

CONFERENCE WITH
 DIRECTOR GENERAL
 ON WATER RATES
Alabama Delegation to Con- fer With Hines Monday in Effort to Get Reductions
 Before the Government
 Turns Back Railroads

At conference to be held in Wash ington Tuesday. September 30, between Walker D. Hines. director general of the railroad administration and the Alabama delegation in Congress, it will be definitely settled whether or not the joint through rail and water rates on the Warrior river will be granted to the large territory adjacent to Bir- mingham to the north.
 This information was contained in message received yesterday by O. l. Bum. manager of the Birmingham traffic bureau and chairman of a sub committee of the Warrior river devel- opment committee from Charles F. Wood chief engineer for the commit tee. who is in Washington.
 This joint through rail and water rate is 20 per cent less than the regu. lar freight rate. and will prove most important to future development
 The conference was arranged by Senator John H. Bankhead, and Mir Wood in his message urges that large delegation of Birmingham business men and shippers be present, as at this time application for the issuance of authority for these joint rates between a wide outside territory and northern Alabama northwestern Georgia and southern Tennessee points via the War rior river through the port of Birming- ham will be made.
 Mir Woods points out that unless this jpoint rate is secured at this time it will in all probability be a long drawn out process to secure it after the rail- roads have been turned back to private interests
 The message received from MT Woods is as follows:
 "A conference is being arranged by Senator Bankhead between the director general of railroads and the Alabama delegation in Congress for Tuesday September 30, at which time application will be made for the immediate issu- ance of authority for joint through rail and water rates between a wide outside territory and northern Alabama, north western Georgia and southern Tenncs- see points via the Warrior river through the port of Birmingham It Is vitally important not only for you to be here, but for a representative commit tee of prominent business men and shippers interested in the Warrior river development. and the success of the port of Birmingham to come also Please urge as many of the develop ment committee as can come to do and bring with them other representative men of the district Indications here are that the railroad administration will cease to function possibly as soon as November 1. reorganization of forces seems imminent for the early return of the rails to private interests, in which event our securing joint rail and water rates, which will develop an upstream traffic of the Warrior. will be long drawn-out process, whereas a co-ordinated effort by the right dele gation will secure 1t above vigorous ac- ton Is required and the time is now.

SHE FORGETS TO
COME TO TRIAL
Mrs. M. Bright Who Was Charged
With Bootlegeing Leaves Her
Bondesman in the
lurch.

The case against Mrs. NJ Bright
who was indicted for bootlegging was
continued until the September term
of the district court to give her bonds
man time to locate that lady.
William Vermazen signed her bond
for $500. After she gained her free
dom, it appears that she went away
and forgot to leave word where she
was going. When her case was called
she was not present and nobody knew
where she might be found.
Vermazen thought that he might
find her If he had little more time;
To give him time to get her located
and tell her that she had an appoint
ment with the Judge the case was con
tinued until the next term of court
II she does not turn up then Vermazen
will be $500 sadder and wiser than he
was before he helped her to get out
of Jail
