Coal is said to be moving from the
mines in quantities to all parts of the
territory normally supplied by Birming-

been entertained of coal famine this
winter has disappeared. Coal yards in
Birmingham have veAy little stock on
hand, but their orders. they are advised,
will be filed promptly from now on.
The strike, which went into effect on
November I, lasted only nine days, and

the district could not have been cut

TAYLOR LECTURES ON
THE TRAFFIC LAWS
Pedestrians Must Observe
Crossing Rules, States
City Commissioner

The first of series Of lectures on ef-
ficient traffic direction took place in
Commissioner John H. Taylor's office
yesterday and was attended by the traf-
fic policemen of Birmingham. Mr.. Tay-
lor, who has from time to time lectured
the traffic officers along traffic lines,
emphasized the need of courtesy when
directing traffic
The matter of pedestrians also observ-
ing the traffic laws was also brought out
by Commissioner Taylor. According to
the commissioner, pedestrians must
watch the traffic signs and move across
the streets in accordance with them.
The automobilists have as much right
as the pedestrians" said Commissioner
Taylor "and when it is their time to
move across the intersections the petes-
TRANS should hold back and let them CO.
When the sign is reversed the pedes-
TRANS are at liberty to advance across
the streets and the automobiles must
stop. This will make accidents less nu-
merous and will save time for both the
vehicle and the walker"
