Martir of the Montgomery circuit court Tuesday afternoon.
 Companies in the Birmingham mineral district announced that an appeal will be taken to the supreme court at once. The ease was filed by the state against the Republic lTo and Steel company, al- lcging that the company had failed to pay the tonnage taxes for October, which were due November 20 The bill of com plaint claimed sl2OG as the tax on coal and sf700 as the tax on iron.

 HOLD TAX DISCRIMINATORY
 Attorneys for the state and company had agreed upGn a statement of lower court, knowing an appeal would be car Tied to the supreme court regardless of the decision. Contentious of the com panies are that the tax is discriminatory and offensive to the two sections of the state constitution and the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution. By the bringing of the federal constitu- rion snto the case the company will have right Of appeal to the United States supreme court in case the state wirs in the state courts.
 Various reasons were assigned in sup port of the contention that the constitu- uonal provisions have been violated. among them being that the tax is guised as license, when on other classes Of business are assessed this way, that the tax dIscrminates against those loading coal and iron in railroad cars and in favor of those who do not load their commodities in railroad cars, and that the coal and iron companies already pay taxes on their mineral properties.
 All coal ard iron companies will pay their tonnage taxes to the state monthly under protest. If the company should win the case the state would return to them all funds obtained under the ton maze ta1 sections.

OVERTIME OPPOSED
BY Secretary of Labor For
His Department

Washington Secretary of Labor
Wilson has stopped overtime in his
department, except in emergency
eases. This order is in contrast to
those who attract public attention by
their claims that government employees
are oilers.
Secretary Wilson issued this order:
1t has been brought to my atten-
tion that the pressure of work in
some Of the bureaus has resulted in
almost daily overtime work being re-
quired Of some Of the employees. OBJ
servation of the work of the depart.
nent has convinced me that while
temporary emergencies may be met
by working overtime, the continuation
Of such overtime over prolonged per
iods brings about a nervous strain
that creates fatigue and destroys
morale, to the end that it decreases
rather than increases efficiency
1T is therefore directed that no
civil service employees shall be requir-
ed or permitted to work overtime ex-
.cept in cases of emergency, in which
event the emergency and the need to
work overtime to overcome it shall
be reported to the secretary for his
approval All persons in director po-
sitions shall be notified accordingly.
