 Stop UnethicaL Practices

Steps to maintain proper ethics in ranks of the legal profession were taken at an executive meeting yes- terday at the courthouse by the Bir- mingham Bar association. Abou+ l50 members attended and resolution was unanimously adopted providing for the appointment of permanent grievance committee.
 The personnel of the committee will be immediately named by the presi- dent and the public is requested to submit any grievance oi any knowl- edge of misconduct upon the part of lawyer to the committee.
 Law Enforcement
 It is the purpose of the association not only to enforce the law relating to solicitation by lawyers. or their agents. but to recommend other laws to the legislature to prevent persons without licenses from practicing law
 In the effort to curb the activities of "ambulance chasers" and damage suit brokers" w Marvin Woodall, president of the Birmingham Bar association, said that this class of litigation should be handled by law yers who realize the sanctity of their obligations as lawyers, and who have such legal knowledge as to realize what is a just amount that should be paid for the character of injuries re- ceived.
 Permanent Office
 permanent office will be main tained by the grievance committee and all members of the association pledged themselves to report any evidence of unprofessional conduct on the part of a lawyer to the com mittee.
 The resolutions adopted are:
 Be it resolved. That a permanent committee of three members to be known as the grievance committee of the Birmingham Bar association shall be constituted as hereinafter pro- vided:
 l. This committee shall be ap- pointed by the president with the advice and consent of a majority of the executive committee as soon as practicable after each annual election. It's members. unless sooner removed by the president and executive com mittee. shall hold office for one call endar year and thereafter until their successors are appointed and in- stalled. The first appointees. how ever, shall hold office only for the year 1922 and thereafter until their Snccessofs are appointed and in- stalled. Temporary appointments may be made at as7y time to fill unex- pired terms
 Grievance Commit
 ?. The executive committee shall at once set apart and thereafter main tain out of the funds Of the associ- ton special fund for the exclusive use of the grievance committee tb oe known as the Grievance Committee Fund of the Birmingham Bar Asso- ciation.' The appropriations out of the funds therefor shall be made at such times and in such amounts as the executive committee may deem ex- pedient. except that the initial ap- propriation shall be one hundred doo) dollars and shall be made as soon as possible.
 Committee Creation
 g. The president and executive committee shall choose the chairman of the grievance committee, which committee in turn shall employ and may discharge at will a secretary (who need not be member of the

FARM UNION HEAD OPTIMISTIC OVER
 FARM PROSPECTS
Money For Use of Cotton Growers in Bank-Cotton
 Pool Is Growing at iS Rapid Rate

we have s1OOOoO to the credit of the Alabama Cotton Growers Co., operative Marketing association. said J. s. schofield, president of the Far mers' union. Ut is on deposit in the federal reserve bank at Atlanta and subject to our check for the use of the cotton growers who are mem bers of the association.
 Our cotto npool is growing rapidly. Following visit to two counties, Franklin and Marshall, we secured pledges of 1000 bales in those coun- ties alone.
 We are receiving the greatest per centage of new members in the Far ; mers' union ever known at this time of the year.
 Best reports in 10 years come from the local unions.
 Our cotton pool is coming along nicely. We can get more money from the War Finance corporation to fi- nance our operations as needs arise. That part of it is well cared for.
 "As to acreage in cotton this year, reports which l receive as I go over the field, indicate about the same acreage as last year, maybe a little more. Farmers tell me that some are planting less cotton and some more.
 "Diversification has won it's place in Alabama and, in my opinion, Is here to stay. Cotton growers them selves realize that the more they plant of other things the more they get for their cotton"
 MT. Schofield was one of the prin- cipal organizers of the Alabama Cot ton Growers Cooperative Marketing association, participating officially as head of the Farmers union in Ala bama. He speaks optimistically of farm prospects since the cooperative movement has taken hold and finan- cial aid is being extended by the gov ! knwn ent
