 TEACHERS UNION

 cises-Meetings Held in the Open

Baker. county super intendent of education. against the teach CTS of the county organizing union and becoming affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. School teaching is different from other trades and profes- sions," Mir Baker said. "They are paid and their salary is fixed by the people through the board of education, and an increase in salaries would have to be made by agitatng the question to such an extent as to convince the people through the board of education that more pay was necessary"
 The openrAg of the institute was held on the lawn adjoining the High school because of the lack of an auditorium large enough to house the teachers Later the city and county teachers divided, C. B. Glenn being in charge of the city teachers while MT. Baker conducted the meeting for the county teachers.

 Acceptance

The Alabama Baptist convention of both ham November II. F and 1S, if plans made at the Baptist ministers conference yesterday are indorsed by the board of directors of the convention.

EFFECT OF AMENDMENTS

.-The first amendment offered to meet objections, provided for cumbersome highway commission of 13 members. What would be the probable effect of such commission? In view of the fact that these men were to serve without sal ary, does any sane man believe quorum would assemble very often? Is 1t plausi- ble? Can't we follow the government s lead in recommending commissions of five, three or even one man? This was the first amendment.
 "The second was this: Division of the funds derived from the licensing of mo- tor vehicles among the 67 counties of the state It was the most damaging of all. What is it's effect? After paying all ex- penses each county would get about s6OOo- What will they do with it? The counties able to supplement it. with two or three times as much, in order to get govern ment aid and offer contractors big enough proposition to get them to bid on the work, will do so. At least half the counties will have no outside funds. What will they do? They will lose both state and federal aid, and when the leg islature meets four years from now they will be deeper in the mud than ever"
 Mir. Keller declared that both amend ments served to emasculate the highway depar bill He urged the passage of the highway bill in it's original form.
 Following his talk Representative w. l.. Harrison of Jefferson followed with a short explanation of the highway bin, of which he is a strong advocate. "The fact that each county said MT. Harri- son. lis provided an assurance of not less than 30 miles of road is going to consti- ute a positive proof that each county will receive it's share and should be an unanswerable reply to the argument that the big counties want the lions share. Enemies of the bill are trying to give this impression"
 He declared that Jefferson county could show it's real bigness. it's interest in the welfare of the state at large by lending it's support to the highway bill.
 Tn addition to MT. Lee, chairman of the meeting, short talks were made by Henry Dozier B. NJ. Allen, A. J. Arrant, F. NJ. Jackson and others, after which the meeting went on record as favoring the state highway bill without amendment.
