 This week there were fine Geor- gia cantaloupes on the Birmingham market, but no Alabama melons were seen. Georgia raises and ships cantaloupes by the carload to the big central markets.

Brick is in fair demand" said John w Sbley. This is more par ticularly true of face brick than of our common brick. We make an excellentsgrade of brick in this dis trict and hence we do not always meet the competition of a cheaper common brick made in other places. Our shale brick is far superior to the common brick made elsewhere.

WOULD
NOT Aid JAPAN
ViscOunt Uchida Tells Diet An
glo-Jap Alliance is Not
Binding.
AMERICA is EXCEPTED
Question Comes Up in Discus
sion of Aid in War on
United States.
INV Associated Pressl

TOXIC, Feb. 5.-Questioned in the
diet today whether the Anglo-Japa-
nese alliance obligated Great Britain
to assist Japan in the event of war
between Japan and the United States,
Viscount Uchida, the foreign minister,
replied that the United States never
had been considered as country to
which the terms of the alliance applies
and that Japan and Great Britain had
agreed to regard the peace commits
sion agreement of 1914 as equivalent
to the general arbitration referred 20
in Article " of the alliance of 1911.
Representative Uyehara asked
whether Japan had even been notified
that the Interpretation of Article "
would be altered as a result of the
conclusion OF general arbitration
treaty with the United States.
Viscount Jchita replied in the neg
ative, Ahtgt. said that opinions were ex-
changed While the arbitration treaty
was being negotiated and he regretted
that consideration of diplomatic Sc
crecy prevented publication of the
British view. Then Uyehara asked
if Great Britain considered herself ex-
empt from the obligation of assisting
Japan in the event of a Japanese
American war. The foreign minister
in reply said that though a general
arbitration treaty had not ben con-
cluded, the peace commission agree
ment of 1914 was regarded as an
equivalent.
80 far as I know" he added, "the
United States was never considered
when the alliance was concluded and
Article " never meants to apply to-
Great Britain. In my opinion there
was an understanding between Japan
and England that Article " did not
apply to the United States.'
Asked what policy would be adopt
ed when the alliance was again re-
vised Viscount Uchida declared that
due regard would be paid to the no
tification given to the league of ma
tions last July by England and Japan.

CHICAGO. Feb. 5.-Railroad repre-

road labor board a letter from w. w.
Atterbury, of the Association of Rail-
way Executives. protesting against
further delay in action on his request
for Immediate abrogation of the ma
tional working agreements.
General Atterbury's letter addressed
to E T. Winter, chairman of the car
riers' committee before the board, said
he was informed the employees had
asked further postponement or their
reply to the Atterbury request. AT
the office of B. NJ. Jewell. representing
the railroad employees affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor, it
was said no such postponement was
contemplated and members of the
board said they had received no such
request.
This is not in any sense a protest
against Mr.. Jewell having his day in
court" General Atterbury's letter said,
Il fully appreciate the desire and OBJ
legation of the labor board to deal
with both parties in utmost fairness.
"But, if Mr.. Jewell were requested
to make his answer on Monday next,
he would have had an entire week in
which to prepare it. Under all these
circumstances, 1 think we are fully
justified in protesting against misuse
of the right to be heard, for the pur-
pose-or having the effect-of delay
ing the time when the board can,
