That the revenues during the twenty six months since the railroad administration was ere ated and took charge of the railway systems haveenot been sufficient to meet operating expenses is not open tc question. That the railroads served the government well during the war period is conceded.
 Most of the operating and traffic men connected with the railroads in Birmingham at the end of 1917 will be seen at their old places today.

 of the brotherhood.
 l The meeting was well attended, thirty represented as well as all the local di- visions and large number of visitors The business was divided into three r sessions, and among the matters dis cussed was the application of the time and one-half overtime award and its effect on the arbitration board, the ao- sentee voters law, which was explained in detail by Charles K. Hall, chairman of the brotherhoods state legislative com mittee, and other matters pertaining to
 the future policy of the brotherhood in all matters affecting the engineers. The return of the railroads to private ownership was discussed at length anu it's operation outlined. Owing to the fact that the brotherhood dehars politics from
 it's deliberations, and neither condemns or indorses candidates for office, nothing of
 personal political nature entered into the discussion. The brotherhood takes
 the stand that its members are inteili-
 gent enough to select their own candi-
 dates, both local and national. The social features of the meeting were
 unusually attractive, the ladies' auxiliary
 served dinner and lunch. During the din-
 ner hour fine musical programme was
 rendered and several informal talks, in |
 lighter vein, were made.
 The meeting was pronounced one ot
 the best both in attendaI ce, in instruc-
 tiveness and in its social features, held
 in many months.
