Preparations for the luncheon next week, when W. R. c. Smith, district gov- ernor, will be the guest of honor, were made by the Rotary Club at it's meeting yesterday afternoon in the ballroom of the Tutwler hotel,
 Following this meeting Rotarians will go to the Alabama State Fair, where they will take in the sights.
 Barbara Robertson, the juvenile singer appeared on the programme in several songs, Although only years old, the child sang, Let the Rest of the World Go By,' Carolina Sunshine" By Jim go" and "In the Sweet Bye and Bye" All Rotarians joined in the chorus of the latter. The little girl was placed on the table and, with wonderful boise, would sing any song that the Rotarians called for. She is the guest of Mir and Mrs. B. H. Hartsfield.
 President Percy Woodall made a brief talk on the district conference of Rotary, held last week in Americus. Ga. He stated that although Birmingham was awarded the Eighth district conference, which will be held in March, Mobile and several other cities were working very hard to get it. He declared that it was expected that 900 delegates and visitors would be in Birmingham at this time and it would be necessary for the club to raise the money to entertain them

The Southern Traffic League in it's meeting in Birmingham went on record
 as opposing national boards of adjust. ment and the making of national agree. nents with railroad brotherhoods as to rules. working conditions and wages. The policy of the league is not to in- ject itself into such matters unless trans portation is threatened but, in that case, 1t will seek to present and represent the interests of the shippers.
 The league gave out this statement:
 Pursuant to this policy, it was de- tefmined that the league should take proper steps to represent the interest of southern shippers in the pending con- troversy between the railroad brother hoods and-railroad arrangements over the establishment of national boards of ad- justment and the making Of national agreements as to rules, working condi- tions and wages.
 "The league went on record as oppos- ing the establishment of such national boards of adjustment or the making of national agreements preferring the set tlement of disputes by local agree inent. and, if necessary, by decision of the national railway board in Chicago, on which the public has representation
