g Remarkable Building Record of Atlanta

ID IRMINGHAM congratulates the lO city of Atlanta on the remark able record of her building operations during the first half of 1920.
 This record is pithily presented in the following news item from the Gate City:
 Building operations in Atlanta for
 the first six months of 1920 ending
 June 30, broke all records for any
 similar period in the history of the
 city with a grand total of $s,s12,573
 Total value of permits issued for
 June amounted to $2,S24,O0O, this being
 the record for any single month in
 Atlanta's history and nearly 90 ,er
 cent of the entire half years total
 Among other permits. were those for four hundred dwellings,, most of which were built in the area of the fire of several years ago. Twenty seven apartment houses were also in- cluded in the permits.
 Atlanta learned how to forge ahead over difficulties when Sherman burned the city down. The robust ness that made possible this phoenix like recovery from the devastation of the war seems not to have departed from the spirit of the Georgians.
 We in Birmingham have good record for the half year, having placed two million dollars in new buildings, but we take off our hats to the sister city which has done four times as much in the six months and ten times as much in June as we.
 We should not envy Atlanta. We should look about and see if we can not somehow catch the Atlanta build ing stride.

Victory Medals

''The first of the United States Vic tory medals in Birmingham are cer- tainly things of which the boys may be proud" says J. Henry Weeks. And Birmingham, when all the boys will have received theirs. will look rather distinguished, as most of the Birming- ham boys were Rainbow boys, serving in five battles, and entitled to five bat tie clasps on each medal.
 Everyone who served will have this memory of his service. For each bat tie clasp bearing the name of the en- gagement is attached to the ribbon, and overseas service is denoted by a clasp containing the word France. Those who were stationed in this coun- try will receive the medal only.'

Large Increase in Wages
 of Railroad Brotherhoods

THE advance in wages asked by
 0 the railroad brotherhoods totaled one billion dollars. The Uni ted States railway labor board, after thorough consideration of the ques- tion, decided that an increase of six hundred million dollars would be fair.
 While this will be disappointing to labor leaders, it will doubtless be accepted. It will surely be satis- factory in the long run. This advance was made to meet the high cost of living and as "Jones pays the freight" the shippers will have to bear the burden.
 The interstate commerce commis- sion will be requested to authorize an advance in freight and passenger rates to meet the wage increase. It may be assured that this will be granted.
 The action of the labor board is just and wise. If the brotherhoods ac- cept the solution-and they will-it not only prevent strikes but will mean stabilizing of business.
 Prosperity will be in full swing by the first of September. Without the favorable action, conditions would have remained unsettled. A state of certainty is always better than en- certainty.
 Incidentally the increase will mean a great deal to Birmingham. It will distribute appreciably large sums Of money here. The fact is it will create a genuine boom in the Birmingham district.
 In view of the fact no one will object to higher freight and passen- ger rates.
