Many, however, are still reported out.
 The statement of the grand lodge of ficers also announced that J. w. Nell son, vice president of the clerks, had not been removed from charge of the strike. It placed the previous announce ments to that effect as among false ru- mors and mis-statements that had been given out.
 Dr. Neil left today to make his re- port to Washington and 1t was brought out that he did not join in the state ment made today. conference will be held between representatives of the clerks tomorrow in Macon. The confer ences here were in executive session.

WOULD REJUVENATE
 SOCIAL UNIT IDEA

Charles L. Harold, secretary of the Civic Association appeared before the Birmingham Association of Social Workers at their meeting yesterday and spoke on the social unit plan of wei fare work successfully tried in Cincin- natl.
 Several months ago Dr. Courtney Din widdie, the author of the plan and head of the experiment in Cincinnati, came to Birmingham and gave a lecture on the subject. Since that time some in- terest has been taken here and the question of starting this system in some section of the city has been considered
 The social unit plan divides the city into units of city blocks. Each block is in the charge of worker who lives on the block and Is acquainted with conditions there. This worker re- ports cases of illness and has visiting nurse called. The block is the unit in which amusements, recreation and other activities are conducted.
 The experiment conducted in Cincin. natl has attracted the attention of the entire country. It has met with sue cess and several other cities have started the system on a small scale.

WILL RAISE MONEY . FOR JEWS OF EUROPE
General Campaign Opens June 29 and Continues
 Through July 3

Local headquarters of Birmingham's Jewish war relief campaign will be opened this morning at the store room at AS North Twentieth street formerly occupied by the Alabama Barbers Sup ply Company. A. Cooms will be the executive secretary in charge of the campaign. which opens June 27 and continues through July 3.
 Mr. Cooms arrived Wednesday from Washington, D. C., where he has just completed a successful campaign in be- half of this same cause. With him came S. c. Davidson, who will be the field organizer of the work here and in the surrounding territory.
 Julius P. Paglin, state director of the campaign. who has been here during the past few days. will leave today on tour of the principal towns of the state to actively organize the work and will keep in touch with the situation here.
 "We certainly feel much encouraged over the outlook here in Birmingham" said Monte M. Ullman, vice chairman of the campaign in Greater Birmingham.
 Georgia has just raised s350,000 in non-sectarian drive, and word from Memphis is to the effect that in Ten nessee, also, Jews and non-Jews have united and are confident of raising at least $400,000. I do not believe that Alabama, especially such cities as Bir- rlinghahm, will lag behind the process sion"
 Committees of non-Jews as well as Jews to engage in the active canvass In Greater Birmingham will be named within the next fewd avs, but in the meantime contributions may be sent to Leo K. Steiner, treasurer of the Bir- mingham Jewish war relief campaign.

JITNEYS GLIDE TO
 WEST END HIGHWAY

Two lonesome looking jitneys made their first appearance in West End yesterday morning. They followed the regular route of the street car line down Tuscaloosa avenue. except when they got to Popular street in West End. where they turned and came back to town
 They are the first jitneys that have been operated between West End and Birmingham in over two years. The roads along the entire route were in such a bad condition that it was con sidered that an automobile could not stand the bumps and knocks.
 However, the street car company has paved most of the way along Tus- caloosa avenue to Popular street. The jitneys were quick to follow.
 One passenger who rode jitney yes- terday said they got you to town in about half the time. but that they were not jitneys in the true sense of the word, for they are charging 10 cents for the trip.

 Denied petition of citizens of Sulligent to require Trains Nos. 1O5 and 1o6 of Frisco to stop at Sulligent as the Ala barna supreme court in 1914 held that the commission had no authority to grant such a petition as it was an irn- proper interference with interstate com merce.
