SERVICE MEN ID
 DISCUSS POLITICS
Meeting Called for Tomorrow Night to Plan for Political
 Action by Ex-SoldierS

The second meeting of the ex-service mems political league will be held to- morrow night in Judge Greene's court room at the county courthouse.
 Announcement to this effect was made yesterday by James J. Jackson, who was chosen as chairman of the organization at the preliminary meeting held Sunday afternoon. It is anticipated that there will be a large attendance at the meet ing tomorrow night as interest in the organization is reported as spreading rapidly.
 'I have been surprised at the interest taken in the new organization of for mer service men, declared MT. Jack son. Crowds of these men from all over the city and suburbs have been to my office this week and many of them have definite plans they want to present to the former service men at the first op- portunity. Judging by the interest thus far displayed, l am led to believe that the organization will become an impor- tant factor in public affairs and that through this organization, which is pure ly political in its nature, the interests of the eX-service men will be looked after.
 q had a man ask me the other day why it was that so many former service men were out of job now. l told him that it was not due to any lack of effi- cency on their part, but was merely a part of the penalty they paid for answer ing the call of their country, It has de- veloped that it is the policy of most companies to lay off the last men em- ployed first when depressons come.
 Due to the fact that the service men were in the army for two years or more they were employed after their brothers who remained at home during the war. Hence when men are to be discharged the soldiers go first. We want to right many determinations which are now be- ing practiced against men because they were in the service We feel sure tha :. many of these are not intentional, but We propose to call the attention of the pub lie to the fact that men are being pun shed here in Birmingham daily because they served their country in time If need"
 "All former service men are invited to attend the meeting tomorrow night. the only requirement. for membership beins that they were in the service and are qualified to vote"

RELIEF MEASURES ] FOR JOBLESS MEN
 ARE TAKING SHAPE
City and Luncheon Clubs Are Working to Secure Food and Work for Union Miners
 and Others

Relief for the unemployed of the district came to first definite form yesterday when the city commission adopted resolution instructing the welfare department of the city to take charge of relief and accomplish as much as possible to that end, pending formation of plans by the citizens committee.
 The city is acting temporarily only and Is not undertaking the burden per manently funds not being sufficient. Central point for assemblage of personal donations by grocery houses and others will be opened at once. The new central fire station will probably be used for that purpose
 This action by the city followed d con- ference with representatives of the state Federation of Labor, the Trades council andf other organizations. Aid is to be extended unemployed without regard to affiliations on the theory that the or ganization does not stand for the state of a mans stomach.
 Members of the steering committee of the civic organizations with Col Tom O. smith, chairman, are whipping plans for relief into form and will be able to make early announcement of these plans.
 The Community club has named an in- dependent committee to investigate and make report to that organization at it's next meeting. Steps to afford relief will then be taken.
 United Mine Workers cite instances of extreme need, and cases are being re- ported at these headquarters and to the Trades council.
 The movement to extend relief is be- coming community-wide and bids fair to have assumed practical form in the immediate future
