COAL DEALERS NOW PERMITTED ID BUY
 COAL OUT OF STATE
Acute Shortage of Domestic Coal Has Failed to Ma terialize in Birmingham
 as Anticipated

Government restrictions on the ship Ssept of domestic coal from Tennessee and Kentucky into Alabama have been removed and dealers are now at liberty to buy coal wherever they can get it.. Notice to this effect was received yes terday by F. B. Fowlk.es, chairman of the Jefferson county fuel committee, from State Fuel Administrator S. P. Kennedy of Anniston. MT. Kennedy ad- vised MT. Fowlkes of the lifting of the ban in the following telegram:
 T am pleased to advise that I have been successful in securing from the federal fuel administration, Washington, permission to allow domestic coal to be shipped into Alabama from without the prescribed zone. Please promptly notify all local dealers that I will approve permits for movement of domestic coai from any zone from which they previ- ously purchased before regulations were iestahlished. Suggest you give this pub- 'licity.'
 Immedia tcly after the receipt of this telegram Secretary A. w. Nelson of the Jefferson county fuel committee called over the telephone and communicated it's contents to them.
 DOMESTIC COAL
 The acute shortage of domestic coal predicted for the winter has not ma terialized, principally because of the very mild weather that has prevailed up to the present time. Although local pro- duction has supplied the needs of the Birmingham zone no surplus has been accumulated and the stocks on hand would be exhausted within a few days of real winter weather.
 ~- Under the latest ruling of the fuel ad- ministration operators in other districts may ship their product to any part of the state and even into Birmingham, if they receive any orders from here. For several months past the Tennessee valley cities have been permitted to secure coal from Tennessee and Kentucky, but until the receipt of this order all points south of the river were dependent upon the Birmingham district
 Mir. Nelson stated yesterday that local dealers have not yet been able to stock up their yards and they. like the con- sumers, are compelled to get along or the small allotments authorized. IT some instances dealers report they have not received more than one carload ir three weeks, while the requirements o1 their customers call for half dozen cl more cars in that period.

Promoter Will Stage Show At Casino and Put on Main Bout, Semi Final and Two Preliminaries.

The Atlantic A. c. of this city will conduct the first show of the coming season on Labor Day, according to information received by the writer to- day. The show, which will include one big star bout. a senf-flnal of eight rounds and two six-round af- fairs, will be held at the Casino at night. Negotiations have been open ed to bring about a battle between Harry Greb of Pittsburgh and Kid Norfolk of Panama.
 Harry Greb is & big drawing card. The matchmaker Is appreciative of the fact that Greh's recent success in the ring will incur a big increase over the money the Pittsburger got for his services here year ago, but he is willing to take the chance. Norfolk S recent showing against Larry Will Hams has popu1arized him and no doubt c, match between him and Greb would tend 10 jam the Casino.
