AMERICAN OPINION ON
The ITALIAN QUESTION
Literary Digest Finds The Majority
OF American Newspapers, Regard
less of Political Afiiliation, Square,
ly Behind President Wilson on
The Fiume Issue.

(. After having carefully perused the
editorial expressions OF the press OF
this country, The Literary Digest
states in a recent issue that it finds
a majority of the press lining up
with the President in his opposition
to Italy's demand for Fiume, the
Adriatic seaport which the President
thinks should be given to Jugoslavia.
Says the New York Globe, (Rep.) ::
From no quarter in this country
generally recognized as liberal,
comes criticism of the Presidents S
stand on the Adriatic question" The
Los Angeles Times, (Rep.) is con-
vinced that Italy will have TO yield.
The Pasadena Star News (Rep)
agrees with the statement, The Unit
ed States having promised Italy moth
ing, and recognizing that the Jugo-
Slav peoples are entitled to access to
the Adriati, and considering that
even the Pact of London did not
promise Fiume tc Italy, President
Wilson has all the argument, all the
morals, and all the respectability~ on
his side" declares the Houston Post,
(Dem.) which goes further and says:
IF his position happens to be too
lofty for Italy, Just be patient. Italy
will get the idea before long. When
hef.w1se men ponder the position OF
tRa- American Government and con-
template all that the United States
means to Italy. we think they will be
willing to be magnanimous and gen.
erous in their attitude toward the
weak nations of the Balkan PENN
sula, now emerging from the thral-
dom of a thousand years into the
sunlight of freedom"
The State Journal (Rep.), of Lin
coin, Nebraska, cannot see" how he
could have taken any other stand
without scrapping the principles OF
international adjustment to which
the United States has been commit
ted, His statement has cleared tho
moral atmosphere" The Kansas
City Star. (Rep.), says, President
Wilson, as spokesman for the Enten-
te, has taken just position in the
Ffume controversy" Says the Phil
adelphia Press. tRep.), Italy must
ultimately recognize the fierce and
justice of the Presidents position. !"
The Commercial Tribune, (Rep), of
Cincinnati, regrets that Italy does
not seem quite to have grasped the
League of Nations idea Italy is
wrong. and in due time she, will ad-
nit IT. declares the Jersey City
Rep.y 1t is not the in
dion 81 the AiIies to withhold
from Italy what it deserves, but this
does not imply that hey are prepared
to do injustice merely to satisfy
greed" says the Detroit News, (Ind.)
while the San Francisco Chronicle,
(Ind.,) is convinced that IF treaty
should be made excluding the Slavs
from the sea, and the treaty sheuld
include an obligation Of members OF
q league thereby constituted to guar

RETAIL PRICE 0F MILK INCREASED
No Concerted Action on Part
 of the Dairymen Has Been Taken

Milk consumers in various parts of the city were notified yesterday that effective today the retail prices of milk in Birmingham will be 25 cents quart.
 It could not be learned last night whether the increase in price is gen. eral or whether it applies only to cer- tain of the dairymen. Information reaching the Age-Herald however was to the effect that milk consumers in West End. South Highlands and parts of the eastern section of the city had received notices of the increase.
 WEs Matthews who is one of the leaders among the Birmingham dairy men said: T am raising the price of milk to 25 cents quart effective to- morrow but I have no knowledge of similar step on the part of the other dairymen. The price of COW feed, labor and necessary supplies have in- creased so that 1t is absolutely neces- sary for me to make in increase in the retail price of milk
 Dr. J. D. Bowling city and county health officer knew nothing of con- certed movement to increase the price of milk but said he understood that some of the individual dairymen felt that they had to increase their prices.
 "The milk situation in Birmingham is somewhat critical just now,'' said Dr. Dowi- g. "hecause the city is en- tirely deYeader1 upaa he local supply which is not ver4 iarg Practically no milk is being sent in now from the out side and wont be il we get our new milk rsgu.ations into force

REALTORS AGAINST
 PROPOSED TAX ON
 COAL AND IRON ORE
Senator White Makes Stir ring Address at Real Estate Exchange
 Luncheon

Members of the Birmingham Real Estate exchange which met in coniunc. tion with the board of commissioners and legislative committee of the Civic asso- ciation at the weekly luncheon of the exchange at 1 o'clock at the Southern club yesterday unanimously commende1 and endorsed the stand taken against the proposed tonnage tax. Senator Frank IS. White made the principal address while short talks were given by Commissioners Henry P. Burruss. Jere Gwin, c. L. Harold and others.
 Senator White made stirring address against the proposed tax, and said in part Tt is gross and unjust discrimina- tions against the mineral district of the state to place a tax of cents a ton on coal and cents a ton on iron ore and not tax other fields of production in just proportion to their value. If coal and iron are to be taxed, other fields of pro duction should be taxed: every yard of marble mined at Talladega every ton of limestone taken from the banks of the Tombgbee and Warrior rivers every stick of timber bale of cotton and other commodities should be taxed in propor- eiol tO itelI Ndiue lne DuTQen or lilb states upkeep should not be saddled on the mineral district
 Already we have lost 25 per cent of our market for steam coal which has been handled by coal dealers of New Orleans, claiming that the market has dwindle and that by the first of January there will be almost no market for Alabama steam coal in New Orleans.
 The market for Alabama coal has a  the mines of southern Tennessee, as the operators can mine a higher grade O. coal and ship it into this state cheapet than local operators can put it on the market. One Tennessee mine alone is selling more steam coal than the com bined coal corporations in this state. With an additional tax of cents ton on Alabama coal the business enterprises handling our coal will be unable to com pete with enterprises of the outside state. having no such tax. We are already hay.
 ing a hard fight competing with their prices and with the increased cost of pro- duction. we will be almost completely out of the market"
 One real estate man stated that, owing to the competition of Tennessee coal corporations which were able to put their product on the market cheaper than we. coal industries of this district had lost Montgomery customer Wno was sood iot 200 tons per day.
 Commission Burruss made short ta1S stating that 1t would remain to be seen If the proposed tonnage law was enacted whether the consumer or the manufacture would suffer as the consequence of the tax He stated that the proposed tax was certainly unjust and that it would impose greater hardships upon the reve- nues of the city, which were already in- adequate.
 The subject was informally discussed by number of others, members of the exchange and C. l.. Harold of the CIVIC association. All were heartily against the proposed tax.
