 The Jefferson theatre is going to play "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" next Tuesday and Wednesday, with a matinee Wednesday. When a John Fox book is dramatized it immediately becomes a. classic, and people never tire of it. even if they have seen it before.

For the Good of
 The Community

SeJ THE organization of portion of the teachers of the city public schools into federation to be affiliated with the American Federation of Labor few days ago has created quite furore in Birmingham. Fully half of the teachers re- fused to be drawn into any such an alliance, while some 200 of them apparently readily embraced the opportunity to bring into play the club that itmight be possible for the great labor organiza- tiOn to use in their behalf.
 From time to time during the past year the need of increased salaries for teachers in the public schools has been pointed out Tn these ar ticles. The disparity in salaries of teachers and wages of common laborers has been stressed equally as often:
 The writer of these articles is a friend and ad- vocate of the public schools and wants the teach CTS to be well paid The duties and responsibili- ties of the teachers are great: Long periods of time and expenditures of large sums of money must be made to qualify teachers for the work required of them. An incOmpetent teacher has hasno place in any school whether it be public or private The salaries ought to be commensurate to the duties and responsibilities:
 Affiliaton with labor organizations, however; VIII IlOC CO Ol c CCoCO1. u will not add penny to the salaries, and it ought not to.
 There is no community of interest between the teachers and the labor unions. Teachers are en- poyed by the state, union labor by individuals or corporations. strike may be legitimate remedy for the fighting of wrong or securing just relief, when it is eveled against an individ ual or corporation but against the state never. Acting President Lewis of the United Mine Workers, when the courts intervened in the re- cent coal strike stated that they could not strike against the government And he was right.
 The strike is not the remedy for inadequate salaries of public school teachers. The strike is the only remedy known to labor organizations when requests and demands fail. And with the school teachers organization affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and their demand for increased salaries not granted or any other grievance not remedied, strike would be the natural consequence. Witness the Boston and Macon police strikes.
 The public will not back up the teachers in their utilization with labor organizations They donot want to open the way to class distinctions and instructions that might create prejudices in favor of or against certain classes of citizens: They want the teachers to be free of all alliances or other influences that would have tendency to color their work or to arouse the animosity of the teacher towards certain individuals or estab-
