ALABAMA DEFENDS
 DAYLIGHT LAW

Washington, March 1.-(SpeciaL )-Bir' mingham and Alabama, by practically unanimous vote. have joined the nationa propagandists determined to prevent the repeal of the daylight saving law.
 The repeal provision is in the form o1 rider to the agricultural bill, pend ing in the House. Senator Calder oi New York, has declared that unless the rider is beaten he will talk the bill to death The propagandists, therefore, are destined to score a victory.
 For the extra hour of daylight, labor ca pital and golf players have joined Metropolitan insurance companies are es- pecially aggressive. They declare that the extra hour gives them an opportunity to see men who labor at their homes where they have suspicious surroundings in which to induce them to protect their fsnilies with insurance. Frank Morrison we'll known labor leader, gives another possible reason. He argues that the law cut down accidents in Pennsylvania mines 8 per cent last year.
 Ala bama labor is aggressive in defense of the law.

PALMER'S REPORT {

Washington, March 1-(Special)- )-When democratic senators permitted a repub- ncan resolution calling on A. Mitchell
 Palmer, alien property custodian, for re- port of his entire operations, to go
 through unchallenged, republicans chuckled in belief that they had caught democrats mapping.
 | The republicans thought that the re- port would show that Palmer had paid J. J. Fitzgerald of New York. who re- signed from Congress to resume practice of law in New York, a fee of 5000; and that he had likewise been most consider ate of other democratic politicians. As soon as the resolution was passed Mir. Palmer notified Congress that he had his report for the President already prepared and that it contained the in formation sought by the Senate. He stated that he had never employed MT. Fitzgerald but that one of the companies over which he had assumed control. had mployed the lawyer and paid him $500 per month.

bers of commerce and other civic organi- zations, bombarded every member of Congress. The conferees were helpless. They could not touch the section. But there was one avenue of escape.
 That avenue consisted in an agreement to prepare a resolution declaring the luxury section null and void. That reso- luton has been prepared and will be en- acted.
 The luxury tax is 10 per cent on all purchases of expensive. unnecessary or luxurious goods. Merchants complained not only against the tax, per SC, but against the intricate system of book keeping which it's existence would en- tail. They declared that it's mandatory restrictions were so rigid that it would be impossible fairly and accurately to meet their requirements.
 Birmingham was especially vigorous in it's opposition. Joe Saks, secretary of the Retail Merchants association, led the fight He had assistance from al! Birmingham merchants and civic organi- cations.

NOT SATISFIED AT EVEN S25 A DAY

Washington, March 1.-(Special)-A. E. Garretson, representative of the railroad brotherhoods, who has been especially ac- tive around the capitol corridors since the beginning of the second administra- tion of Woodrow Wilson, declares thai he would not be satisfied were the price of labor set at $25 per day.
 It is his point that without commits sion charged with the duty of balanc ing affairs between labor, consumer wholesaler and retailer, the extra wage would be passed on to the consumer, and labor eventually would be paying itself out of it's own pocket.
 The philosophy is rather deep. it would lppear, and many men who labor would

 MT. Gulledge protests against a movement in Congress to change the name of Panama canal to Roosevelt ca nal. If the name is changed it should be Morgan in honor of the late sena- tor from Alabama MT. Gulledge thinks.
 Morgan has, indeed. a monument in the canal, though the government did not select the route he proposed. It s possible, however. that in view of the slides and cave-ins. the government often wishes that it had

Bv HUGH w. ROBERTS


 Washington, March L--(Special With republicans fiibustering on every topic against every subject, with the view of forcing the President to call an extra session beginning March 5, it looks as if the bond issue bill and Ii big appro- priation measures will fail of passage. It is interesting to note that the three appropriation bills which have become law were piloted through the Senate by Alabamians, two of them, the legisla- tive, judicial and executive appropriation, and the fertilization appropriation bills, were in charge of Senator Underwood The third, the postoffice appropriation bill was handled by Senator Bankhead The President remains staunch by his determination not to call extra ses- sion before his return from France, even should the republicans kill all pending legislation.

 It would be endless debate. For

 And republicans for selfish reasons.

 But should not the coal situation be viewed from a different and wider standpoint? It cannot be forgotten that among the most wanton acts per petrated by the German armies during the war was the most complete de struction by her forces of the coal fields of northern France. The result has been a grave and prolonged short age of coal in western Europe. There can be no reason in equity why the effect of this shortage should be borne exclusively by the allied nations who were its victims, or why Germany who deliberately made herself respon. sible for tn edeficiency, should not, to the full limit of her. capacity, make it good"
