 "Hon. Dan A Greene, Presiding
 Judge, Circuit Court, Birmingham,
 Ala.
 Dear sir: We hereby request that we be given immediate trial on indtct- ments against us. We believe the public good demands Euch action.
 .The public is entitled to full ex- pianation from us to all the charges brought by the grand jury. On the other hand, we do not feel justified in making any statements concerning these charges. while indictments arc pending against us. Misunderstand- ings and misconstruction would be the inevitable result.
 "Our work as commissioners cannot be most effectively rendered until all clouds raised by the grand jury are dispelied. We want to put the whole matter behind us and proceed to work out city problems free from doubts and suspicious. In order to accomplish beneficial results we must have cooperation. and do not feel we can fully receive 1t with charges against us in the courts.
 We are willing to trv the cases with or without a jury; and the sooner the better. Respectively yours"

City Employment Officer Says Big Demand For Com
 mon LaborerS

For the first time in several months the city employment bureau has more calls for common laborers than 1t can fill, according to H. E. Oliver, in charge of the bureau on the fourth floor of the city hall.
 We have been able to place every common laborer to work that is list ed with us and have calls for large numbers of others" said MT. Oliver yesterday.
 The men can obtain jobs in mines on construction work in local shops and at various other places, where there is a big demand for labor of this sort.
 This labor condition reported by MT. Oliver is accepted in industrial and business circles as being indi- cative of return of business pros perity.
 Practically every, common laborer who has applied at the city hall bu- reau for the past week has been given employment and Mir. Oliver has many calls from industrial and busi- ness concerns for many more. He also has call for 50 cooks and helpers to begin work July 3.
