ACTIVE CANVASS
 0F LOCAL UNIONS
Anti Tuberculosis Campaign to Be Continued Until All Re-
 ports Are Made

Members of labor organizations will make an active canvass of all the local unions in Birmingham and Jefferson county in behalf of the campaign for the Anti-Tuberculosis association.
 Lewis Bowen, secretary of the Ala bama Federation of Labor, and R. R. Moore. president of the Birmingham Trades Council, will take charge of the solicitation and will personally ap- pear before each of the union organi- zations.
 Announcement to this effect was made yesterday by J. Frank Rushton, field marshal of the allied armies, fol- leaders. It was stated that several of the labor organizations have already come forward with subscriptions to the campaign.
 Due to the fact that several of the committees having charge of the so- licitation at various industries and des partment stores cannot make their final reports until after January 1, it will be impossible until that time to determine exactly how much money has been raised in the campaign for the AntiTuberculosis association which has been undertaken by the al- lied armies, assisted by committees from the womens clubs and other or ganizations.
 Some of the corporations have mo- t'fied Priestly Toulmin, chairman, and Field Marshal Rushton that they can not tell how much their men will give until after the next pay day. They, therefore, habe informed the commit tee that they will assume charge of
