Alabama Christian Isndeavor Union, spoke of the plans tor the coming year.
 The slogan for the coinlng year" sad MT. Decker, is A Christian Endea scr Society in every church that can have d Christian Endeavor Society There ars now in Alabama eighty-nine Christian senior societies, forty junior and nNe intermediate societies. There are s0J churches in the state that should have one of each. The aim for the coming year is to come to the next convention with 100 additional senior, 75 additional junior and 30 additional intermediate societies.
 Forward or Backward" was the topic of a talk by Charles A. Evans. MT. Evans told of the work which was done in the past year and told of it's cost Whether the societies were going forward or back ward would depend on the amount of money raised to do the work, he said. They asked for s1,500 for state work in the year, sl162.2o of which was pledged during the meeting.
 Duncan B. Curry of Jacksonville. Fla, spoke of Loyalty" Loyalty means more than doing what is convenient, or what Is nice or what we like to do. said MT. Curry. It means unfailiag readiness to do anything that is expected and that needs 10 be done. MT. Curry served for some time in the army and pointed out as an example of loyalty the service of the American army in France.

 serious danger confronts our people The cost of living is still mounting high CT. The average person, and especiassy the salaried empioye is unable to pay sor the high-priced clothing iii our stores The complaint is widespread that what is called moderate price clothing does not wear well enough to justify the price; and so-called moderate priced clothing is $40 a suit Even if overalls are al- lowed by public opinion to go up a few dollars. thousands of salaried men in this district will still be able, by using overalls, to reduce the cost of living many dollars; but public opinion will not stand for this increase under the cir. cumsSances So far as the laboring man lis concerned, he already has his over |alls suit, and public opinion, aroused by this movement. can surely protect him against profiteering in this garment
 Why not make this movepent the be- ginning of wholesome return of our citizenship to democratic simplicity, econ omy and cooperation? Shall false pride and the fatal barrier of class distfnc- tion prove more powerful than conn, ga sense and patriotic self-sacrihee ter z public weal7 Public opinion is master ? the high cost evil, as it is or every otner tI ouble to whieh our people are subject. No true democrat or lover of his cou,nrv will fear to stand out for right and jus tice as against selfish interests, class prejudice and will not tamely submit to wrong without a fight to better the liv- ing conditions of our peopie.
 The Overalls Club charges nothing for membership, except a pledge taken in good faith to wear no other working clothes until the prevailing high prices fall to normal levels. The fight Is not against any clas of men, but against vui- gar extravaganza tn dress in daily lre, a fight to return to simplicity and ecoh- omy of living, to which this movement, springing up like magic and spreading everywhere, has called us It is a deeply earnest movement to get together and stay together in common defense until a, new day comes, to make this movement national, to vindicate our manhood and American independence.
 To the doubters and scoffers we say with Shakespeare:
 Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the god we oft might win by fearing to attempt"

speaking here tonight because I believe the people of this city have been mis- informed about the republic of Ireland, especially the Birmingham post of the American Legion. I believe can con- vince you that the republic of the Irish that is holding up it's arms to America crying for encouragement and help, now stands in the same position as did the United States in l77s
 The old 165th regiment of New York. whom l fought with, was composed mostly of fighting men that were full blooded Irish or else were for the Irish in their views These men fought and died side by side with the boys of the Birmingham post of the American Le- zion. What do you suppose they would think if they could stand here tonight and hear that you are against Ireland and it's fight for justice and liberty"
 Judge Horace Wilkinson was the next speaker. and said in part:
 T have been informed that fifty-two cities in twenty states in the union have received De Valera, so-called president of the Irish republic, and his asso- ciates, with open arms. I will say with the utmost belief what I think is the opinion of nearly every member of tho Birmingham post of the American Le- zion: If the people in these cities coufd

taken William B. Wilson, sPennsyl- vania coal miner, from near the pot tom of the list and making him chair man of the committee of labor in the National House of Representatives when he was leader in that house. and of his support of the bill creating the depa artment of labor for which labor had been begging for many years.
 BASIS OF OBJECTION
 He said in 1916 representatives of the four railroad brotherhoods asked Congress to fix their wages by law, but in 1920, when the Congress cre- ated a court of labor to fix wages and settle disputes, they blacklisted him because he was the author of that portion of the bill. MT. Gompers obs jected to the court, he said. ony two grounds; first. beca ausee the public was given representation on the court, and second, because it provided that un- organized labor should be heard in that court.
 They object to the first because they knew they could outlaw capital and win, but they could not outlaw the public. and they objected to the other provision on thessground that it would tear down organized labor. he said
 They blackiistcd me because they knew I would not take orders from Samuel Gompers,' Senator Under wood said. T am fair to labor, If they only want fairness. then I am for them, but if they want to dominate, then they had better not send me back"
 Senator Underwood closed with an expression of his appreciation of the honor the people of this county had conferred upon him in the past and asked the citizens, if they approve his record. to elect him again. But" he concluded, T had rather have my own self-respect than to be a senator in the Congress of the United States"
 Senator Underwood will meet a few friends at the Tutwi1er hotel today and in the afternon leave for Wash. ington to take up hise duties in ths Senate.

snatched from them by leaders of a class who would tear down rather than build up a government, and the estah- lishment of soviet rule in Russia. He drew a pitiful picture of the outraged womanhood and the destroyed homes of that country, and said such a thing could not happen here.
 You talk of despotic rule" he said. ''but the greatest despot is the rule of an unorganized mob. A Czar may have tender spot in his heart. but an un- organized mob has none. These condi- tions will not happen here. Not be- cause no effort has been made. for the socialists, the l. w w., the com munist party and other organizations opposed to government by law have been active here, as they have been active in Europe
 "TelI me you are out of danger when only a few months ago, when men of prominence had their homes blown up at the same hour in different cities, among them the Attorney General of the United States. Do you say you are out of danger when men send through the mains to prominent govern ment officials bombs which would blow. them to pieces? The country is flood ed with literature calling on the classes to destroy the government. The gov ernment has great deal of this litera- ture.
 Can you say that you are out of danger when the I. w. w. is here to destroy property, even to poison the grain in the farmers barn? They would destroy the middle classes. They say let the millionaire alone, he'll fall of his own weight.
 UNIVERSAL STRIKE
 Do you know what universal strike means?" Senator Underwood closing of the factories. loss of wages. inability to pay accounts at the store. inability of merchants to meet their notes in bank and the banker without money to pay the depositor when he calls and the destruction of the gov- ernment.
 Now, if you want your government destroyed" he said, select men who will take orders from leaders of 8 class. I am not the man you want. but if you stand for law and order then I am ready to stand by you. !"
 Referring to the charges that he is not fair to labor. Senator Under- wood said he knew why certain lead. CTS do not want him.
 When they blew up the house of the Attorney General of the United States I went there that night and made my home his home. When it was necessary to protect the officials of your government I was there. When it was necessary to protect your flag I appropriated the money for an army to protect it.
 T don't want any misunderstanding. If am not the man to represent you, then turn me out. I am not going to change"
 He said the opposition to him is trying to mislead; that he did not ob- ject to the truth being told, but they haven't the courage to meet the real issue.
 Say am not friend of labor?" he asked, when for twenty five years I represented you and they didn't say it It did not occur over nieht. Did you ever hear of my failing to carry this county? This is the greatest in dustrial county in the state. It has the largest laboring population, and 1 carried a majority of labor"
