zON|NG ORDINANCE
 IS BEING IGNORED
Complaints Come to City Hall That Erection of Store
 Continues

Complaints flooding the city hall yesterday brought the information that the truce regarding construction of building for store purposes a Tenth avenue, south, and Eighteenth street, had been broken by c. P. Dexter. the owner.
 Several weeks ago MT. Dexter be- gan construction of building. Grad ing of the site, which is a snRu trl- angular piece of ground, aroused the ire of neighbors. They declared that they did not intend having a business building, particularly one of the size which would be erected on such small lot, in their midst A visit to the city commission was the outcome.
 In answer to the complaint of the residents, an ordinance was passed creating a strictly residential section between Fifteenth street and Twentieth street, on Tenth avenue, south. The legality of the ordinance is now be- ing tested in the courts. Petition for q writ of injunction against the city is to be heard before Judge Hugh Locke some time this week, 1t IS be- lieved.
 Dexter ignored the passage or the ordinance, which made it an ofense punishable by law to build the struc- ture planned, and began construction of the building proper. He was ar rested at the instance of Fred G. Moore, city attorney. Recorder Mar tin fined him $50 and costs.
 Then came the application for an in- junction by Harsh, Harsh & Harsh, Dexter's lawyers. Pending hearing or the petition 1t was agreed by Dexter that no work would be done on the building. He was granted permission to finish his floor however.
 T. H. Spencer, who lives next door to the building, came to the city hall yesterday and asked that Dexter be stopped from continuing construction of his building. He declared work had been resumed Friday and yester- day, and the walls had been built up about six feet on the sides and in back of the building.
 City Attorney Moore told him he would get in touch with MT. Harsh. Late yesterday afternoon he said MT. Harsh had agreed to have his client stop work until hearing of the petition 1 for injunction.

ACCESSORIES DEALERS
 CALL ON CITY BOARD
 FOR NEW ORDINANCE

New treatment of the Sunday tire service question probably will be attempted by the city commission at it's meeting Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. This was decided following the visit of delegation of auto accessories men to the city hall yesterday, protesting against the present status of affairs.
 Appointment of several dealers as agents of the Birmingham Au- tomobile club was branded as pure camouflage by members of the delegation, who charged the law was being violated in other ways by number of dealers. The sale of gas and oil on Sunday provides a screen for the sale of tires and tubes, according to the tire men.
 Three courses were suggested to the commission. The city fathers were asked either to enforce the law rigidly or to repeal the pres ent ordinance or allow regulations now in force to be ignored by all dealers.

Superintendent Whitaker said last night:
 we now have a switching crew reg ularly at work in the Birmingham yards. In fact, our terminal organiza- tion both in Birmingham and at Besse- mer is practically on a normal base.
 We have been able to further mod fly our freight embargo by accepting freight for connecting lines between here and Lineville/
 We are making rapid progress in getting back into form and have been especially encouraged by the sympathy shown us by the residents of the towns all along our road. This is the case in Georgia as well as in Alabama. I have never known of such a unanimity of expression of sympathy and co-opera- tion. We heartily appreciate it and are making every effort to restore normal. The prospect of gradual restoration of the nomal is now good" Leander Poole, chief of the railway mail service, is busy arranging mail truck routes to those places shut off by the Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic strike, and has installed a number of them He reports difficulty in some places on account of the state of the roads.
 EVANS STATEMENT
 we diS SNlli oldAiQlllS pat anu bi . out 100 per cent strong" said N. H. Evans, in charge of the strike here. we are willing to let public sentiment and the mediation board settle the strike. We have no quarrel with officials of the 1 railroad
 MT Bugg says he will permit striking union men to return to work if they want to do so at the reduced wages, ana l if labor leaders give their permission. It is up to the employees who are on strike and these employees alone whether we go back to work on any terms. The ex- ecutives of labor cannot act without our consent and action.'
 Merchants at Fitzgerald, Ga, where the A., B. & A. shops are located, have refused to sell the road groceries and supplies for strikebreakers employed there, MT. Evans stated. He showed d telegram to that effect.
 The A, B. &s A. railroad has not earned a cent since the strike began, Mir. Evans declared his opinion. On the contrary, the road has spent three times it's earn l irgs, he stated.
 Daily roll calls of the strikers here are i being held at Ben Hur hall.
