K. OF c. TO OPPOSE
 ANTlJEW ATTACKS
Rx Associated Press

Philadelphia, March 1.-Denouncing an alleged anti-Jewish movement in southern parts of the United States. Supreme Knight James A. Flaherty of the Knights of Columbus announced at his home here tonight that he had called upon 2,200 Knights of Colum- bus lecturers in the United States and Canada to combat anti-Semetism.
 "An attack on one religion or race may easily develop into an attack on any religion or race" his message to the lecturers read. The Knights of Columbus will oppose the anti-Seme tic movement. because 1t is un-Amer- ican. There are undesirables of every race in this country. but that does not justify prescription of any race So long as there is notority and profit in the practice of prejudice, we shall be plagued with the antiJewish and other movements. It is our concerr to oppose the sewers of suspicion and hatred, who are simply bolshevik bigots meritir.y deportation more than the reds shipped away last year.

Dee declared the national agree ments provided for an orderly pro, cess of handling disputes without in terruption to traffic in contrast to i "continuous strife" prior to January H. 1918. He cited the improved condf- tions of workers in his department. and said that to deny them the rights gained under the national agreements would be a step backwards.
 MT. Dee took up the provisions of the agreements rule by rule, and in many cases contended that they were practi- cally identical with agreements existing in many agreements prior to the na- tional agreements
 Summarizing the contentious of the clerks E. H. Fitzgerald. president of the organization. presented six arguments for the continuation of the rules:
 To secure higher state of efficiency. / To avoid loss of time and wages ot employees resulting in possible suffering of those dependent upon their earnings as, we'll as demoralization of employees by enforced dleness.
 To avoid unwarranted dismissal of em- ployes.

A Mystery of the Magic City
the Editor of The Age Herald: !:

To the Editor of The Age Herald;
 Where does the Birmingham police force stay on Sunday? On Sunday, writer with couple of friends hap pened to walk down Twentieth street toward the Louisville and Nashville station. On reaching First avenue our attention was attracted by large crowd of both whites and negroes which had congregated between Twen- tieth and Twenty first streets. At first we thought a race riot had started, but upon reaching the scene found that a negro woman and man were having an argument over cab fare which the man claimed the woman owed him. While this dispute was at its height, our at- tention was attracted by a commotio on on the outskirts of the crowd, and upon turning beheld a white man en- deavoring to beat up a negro, claiming that he (the negro) had tried to pick his pocSet, The negro received several blows and then broke away, running across First avenue and down Twen- tieth street. The funny part about the whole business is that after the crowd had dispersed, about 80 minutes after the crowd began to congregate. Bir- mingham policemen put in his appear ance. wishing to know what the trouble was. Where does the Birmingham po- lice force stay on Sunday?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Fraudulent Feedstuff

TO the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 My attention has just been called to an editorial comment on the action taken by the bureau of pure foods and drugs of the department of agriculture in instituting proceedings to condemn shipment of cotton seed meal found to have been sold in Madison county materially under the standards gaaran- teed, the editorial appearing Febru- ary 19.
 l want to assure you that the off cials of the department appreciate very much the effective manner in which you handled this case in an editorial way. l want to assure you also of my personal belief that the department has performed no greater service to the farmers and dairymen of Alabama in instLuting seizure proceedings against fraudulent shipment than was rendered them in this strng editorial. This lot of meal will be forfeited to the state, and whatever amount it brings when sold on basis of actual analysis and food value, will be paid into the state treasury. the whole procedure repre- senting a penalty against the manu- facturer who is also subject to a fine for violating the feedstuffs act.
 In the seizure of over 5000 tons Of commercial feeds during the past fiscal year, on charges of misbrand, or adul- teration, additional samples were drawn and forwarded to the bureau of chemistry of the United States depart ment of agriculture, in instances where the feed was manufactured in another state. This work has saved to the farmers and dairymen of Alabama many thousands of dollars. We may speculate on what the losses would have been had this work not been done. Our work is growing more effective every day in that the character of the various manufacturers and their goods are coming to be better known.
 We regard such editorials as the one under consideration, which is read by the consuming public, as great a service in eliminating such fraudulent prod ucts from the markets as the acts of this department in prosecuting the case.
