An Eventful Day in
 History of Birmingham.

ID USINESS and professional men 3O are going to the districts river terminals today to secure a personal vision of what they mean in the destiny of industrial Alabama and in that of the state at large.
 The Warrior river spirit has swept the city the past few days like a prairie fire. The people may have been trifle slow in realization, put when the full sense of the crisis de- veloped, they have come to the fore as they have always met an emer- gency.
 The curtain of doubt, hesitancy and indifference has been lifted. The Port of Birmingham soliciting com mittees yesterday met with response of whose sincerity. there was no doubt

T am just back from q great sale of Jerseys" said Hugh Praytor. Bob Jemison, Jr.. went with me. For a long time we had wanted a high-class bull to head our herd at Liberty Jersey Farm up the valley above Trussville. We were advised that such one would be offered at Mrs. Henning' s sale at Allendale Farm, Shelbyville, Ky, so we went prepared to buy one, but bought two. With the one we now own we feel that we have some real sires. We also bought one high-priced register of merit cow. It takes money now to get classy stuff, but we have made up our minds that we are going to build up a herd that will cause breeders to look towards Alabama when they are after pure bred Jer- seys"

Mine WORKERS
SUSTAIN GREEN
Convention Ratifies Interna-
tionaI Officers Acceptance
of Wilson Settlement.
LEWIS DEFINES IT'S TERMS
Acting President of Miners Says
Convention Action Means
Men Will Adopt Award.

Columbus, Ohio. Jan. THE United
Mine Workers of America in conven-
tion here today ratified the action of
the international officers in accepting
President wilson's proposal to end
the coal strike on a IA per cent in
crease basis and a commission to
draw up new wage agreement.
The vote was taken just before noon
after Acting President Lewis had
made plea for ratification. Accord
ing to Lewis the ratification carries
with it acceptance of any award to be
made by the presidents commission.
After the mine workers voted 1859
to Fl to endorse the action of the in
ternationa1 officers in accepting Presi-
dent Wilson'S strike settlement pro-
posa1 opponents of the settlement filed
charges against Acting President
Green and Secretary Lewis.
The charges demanded their re-
moval from office and suspension as
members of the union for ten years.
for alleged violation of the instructions
of Cleveland convention and cow
ardice." The convention by almost
unanimous vote repudiated the
charges by ordering them stricken

BROTHERHOODS TO
TRY NEW SCHEME
Cooperative Buying, Production
and Distribution on Big
Scale Planned.

Washington. Jan 7.-Officials Of
four big railway brotherhoods and
railroad shop crafts affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
have decided to seek solution Of the
high cost Of living through coopera-
tive buying. production and distribu-
tion.
Details have not been completed,
but the step is construed IN some
quarters as meaning they win not
press their demands for additional
wage increases pending outcome OF
the experiment.
Failure to obtain satisfactory relief
from the high cost of living either
through further wage advances or
from the anti-profiteering campaign Of
the department Of justice, caused
union officials to determine on the
plan. The scheme has been under
consideration since the farmer labor
conference. The commission announced
today as the outgrowth Of that confer
ence another conference will be held
in Chicago February u to Is.
The new Plumb plan declares the
present wage system disregards the
rights of labor. In conclusion it as
serts the existing industrial system
is crashing around our ears" that ages
bear no relation to value OF services
rendered and profits are wrongfully
exacted

PEACE TREAT YLO0MS ASISSUE,
RED HEARINGS
ARE COMMENCED
immigration Inspectors Expect
Hard Fight-"Most Beauti-
full Bolshevik. Arrested

New York, Jan. Hearing in the
cases of more than 500 alleged Reds
held at Ellis Island on deportation
proceedings began today before i'm
inspectors.
The speed at which the hearings will
be completed will depend on the atti-
tude of the radical aliens.
Early completion of deportation
preliminaries is not expected. At
least three New York lawyers who
have made a speciality of defending
Reds since raids began in November,
are ready to conduct protractel pro-
ceedings. Many of those arrested in
recent raids are likely to be released
on bail soon. Secretary Wilson has
decided upon 81 900 each as the
and applications for release
on bail will be entertained as soon as
the preliminary hearings are complet-
ed.
