ARMY SCHOOL FOR
ALIEN RECRUITS
Illiterates May Join u. S.
Army-Fine Opportuni-
ties Offered

The enlistment of white illiterates non-
Alabama and other states east of the
Mississippi river has been authorized by
the adjutant general of the army, &C
cording to instructions received at the
local army recruiting station yesterday.
These enlistments must be for a period
of three Years.
Men enlisting in this class will be sent
at once to the recruiting educational CEN
ter, Camp Upton, New York, where they
will be given thorough course in Eng
fish while being instructed in the duties
of a soldier. Under this ruling an alien
who has declared his intention of becom-
ing a citizen of the United States may
become citizen in three years while in
other channels it requires five years.
In the army recruiting stations in Ala
bama during the past few months many
men who served faithfully and honorably
overseas and in the United States have
been denied re-enlistment in the army
because they were illiterates according
to Maj. Fl. B. May. who served with the
10th infantry during the world war,
and who is stationed at the recruiting
office in Birmingham. He declared that
men who could not write their names
and who knew little English proved on
the hattlefields of France that they could
be trained to be good soldiers.
in this manner illiterates and aliens
will not only be given practical educa-
ton, but win be given the opportunity
to learn a trade. thereby increasing his
earning capacity when discharged from
the army" said Major Day.

DEFINITE ACTION
/. ON WAGE INCREASE
EXPECTED TODAY
Officials and Employees of
Street Railway Hold Con-
ference on Wages, But
No Decision Reached

Definite action on wage in
creases to local street car men
is expected to result today or
tomorrow from the confer
ences which begun yesterday
between representatives OF
the Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company and
officials Of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Elec-
trio Railway employees.
The wage question was taken up in
general way only yesterday and the
discussions were not of nature that
would bring out specific agreements or
decisions, according to j. S. Fevear, man
! ager and representative of the COM
pany at the meeting yesterday. At the
conference to be held today. it is be-
lieved to be highly probable that condi-
tons Of the settlement of the wage
question will be in sight
| The present contract of the en-
ployes expires next Sunday. The con-
| ference was called following the grant
| ing of temporary 6-cent fare by the
| city commission last Saturday. The
EMPLOYEES are said to be holding out
| for their original contention in the
| matter OF wages, which is for from 80
! to 70 cents an hour, and which has
been declared to be as much in excess
| of wares in other southern cities as
| the present scale of from 80 to 3S cents
| an hour is below the average.
If an agreement is reached in tho
conference by which the one-cent raise
| of fares will be found to be sufficient
| to pay the increased cost of operation,
| the company, it is believed. will apply
| to the federal court for authority to ac-
cept the city's proposition of the 6-cent
fare. Otherwise 1t is believed that
| the company will ask for larger in
crease, probably for 7-cent fare
