 LABOR MEETING
Central Labor Union To Send Delegation To State Meeting At Mobile To
 Extend Invitation

Sheffield, May 6-(Special)-At it's convention to be held in Mobile on May 19. the Alabama State Federation of Labor will be invited and urged to choose Sheffield as the meeting place for next year. The Central Labor union at it's meeting in Sheffield early this week decided to send a delega- tion of five representatives to the Mo bile meeting empowered to extend the invitation to the state organization, and it is believed their efforts will bring about the desired results.
 It is understood that 500 delegates will be in attendance at the Mobile meeting, and this number is expected to be greatly augmented next year as it is reported that organization is go- ing on at a rapid pace in every part of the state.
 The delegates named to attend the Mobile meeting from the Sheffield dis trct include: Casey Deviney, W. D. Wimpee, J. s. Singleton. Robert Mowat and B. Carruthers. Delegates from other local unions will probably also attend the Mobile sessions.

 THE TROUBLE ABOUT MONEY
 The examination was made. The in- spector reported to Washington that while there was some reason in AL bany's kick, the site, in the main, was the best that could be found
 Everything looked all right. But then it developed that the building. accord ing to original specifications, could not be constructed for the amount of money carried in the bill. For during the long delay, and on account of the wars effect on conditions the price of labor and material had advanced sky high.
 But Decatur compromised. It was willing that the government change the plans so that the work could be com pleted for the money available-with the understanding that as soon as more money could be obtained through an additional appropriation, the original specifcatio tions would be carried out.
 So the contract was awarded Repre- sentative Almon amended a pending bill so as to provide additional money for Decatur. but this bill, like many others, was done to death by the re- publican filibuster which marked the concluding days of the last session.

 During Saturday afternoon two planes from Montgomery came to Greenville and performed a number of spectacular stunts over the city and showered lit- erature for the Victory Loan drive.
 1t was not the purpose of the pilots to make a landing in Greenville and they intended to return to Wright field after performing their stunts, but owing to the fact that gasoline was short in one of the planes a forced landing was made and the first pilot was followed by the second. Both machines made, their landings and flights without any trouble whatsoever
 Scores of people were in the city att the time and enjoyed the thrilling sight. Hundreds of peoRle went out to the field where the landing was made and mades close inspection of the machines.
