NOT ACCEPTABLE,
 SAY OFFICIALS Coal Miners Not in Favor Of Industrial Relations Com mittees Plan

Plans for organizing industrial rela- tions committees at the coal mines in the Birmingham district are hot acceptable to officials of the United Mine Workers
 The plan as outlined by the operators published in The Age-Herald yesterday was discussed by officials of the union at their headquarters yesterday. They claim that it will prove impracticable and cause intending trouble between employ CTS and employees.
 The adoption of the industrial relations committee system, union officials say, would eliminate collective bargaining. one of the principal things contender for by the labor unions. They also claim IL would put an end to contracts between the employers and their employees as a body.
 E Copies of the plan were forwarded yes terday to the international headauarters where it probably will be discussed by of ficials and delegates to the convention Of the international body to be held at kn early date.

VACCINATION URGED !. BY HEALTH OFFICER
Bowling Says People Should Guard Against POssi-
 bility of Epidemic

Fears for those Birmingham citizens who have not recently been vaccinated are expressed by pr. D. j. Bowling, city and county health officer, who points out that there are already fifty cases of smallpox in Birmingham ani that the disease is liable to take on the virulent form reported in Missis- sippi and Louisiana at any time
 Tn spite of the fact that smallpox has assumed a most virulent form in some southern states. and that there are many cases of the disease in Bir- mingham, many people who should know better have not yet been vaccin- ated and they maintain the old idea that they can come in contact with the disease and run comparatively little risk.
 While the fifty cases of smallpox in Birmingham have caused only one death so far. reports from some south ern states are alarhing, and as long as there are so many cases of the dis ease in Birmingham. even of a mild form, there is no telling when the dis ease may take on the deadly form. Until the people of Birmingham realize that they should be vaccinated we will have smallpox every year"
 Asked what it cost to be vaccinated now, during the regime of the high cost of everything, Dr. Bowling said:
 Why, it doesn't cost anything. The city and county think it so important to the welfare of the people as a whole that anyone who calls at the city hall dispensary will be vaccinated free"
