HARRISON MAKES
 FINAL DANCE PLEA
Champions Cause of Labor Against What He Terms
 Class Distinction

4iHcluued among the advocates of municipal dancing at Pershing Pier are the various labor organizations and the Birmingham Trades council which Is representative of all the al- lied orders of the city in support of the position of Commissioner W. L.. Harrison which has been reduced to writing and copies of same mailed to the officers and members of or ganized labor throughout the city.
 Expect Solid Vote
 The communication in which the members of all labor orders, who are represented on the commission by Mir. Harrison, urges that the or ganization as one big body present a united front in favor in reopening the pavilion for dancing and points out that to offset a great loss an- rually in the operation of East Lake Park, and to prevent a loss of the structure which was constructed at & cost of s20.o00 for danc- ing purposes. it will be to the best interests of the city and of the pub lie generally in furnishing whole some amusement and recreation who new ito olHtI opportunity to udnC6 in considerable numbers.
 Regulations Adopted
 It is further asserted that if Pershing Pier is opened for dancing that rules, restrictions and regula- tions have already been adopted by which the city will operate the dance pavilion, 1t will be the only place in the city where such restric- tions and safeguards are thrown around the various dancing places. such as West Lake and Edgewood parks. at all the clubs and public, dance halls where dancing Is nov going on without any question or protest from any source. In other words, 1t stated, to vote against the opening of Pershing Pier. the voter Is not helping to stamp out dancing, but is merely refusing to allow the opening of the only dance pavilion that Is to be operated without the objectionable features and dances, according to ordinances already pro- vided.
 Embraces Rights and Privileges
 The statement further declares that the question involved the demo- cratic rights md privileges of the masses and challenges the right of any City 10 uf1IeFenLldte DelWetH itS various strata of citizenship when each has the inalienable right to dance at pavilion owned by the city and built with the citizens money. That East Lake pavilion will be the only place where the person of moderate or average means can go on a street car and for a moderate and reasonable sum.
 Charges Glass Distinction
 In conclusion Commissioner liar rison says, q have been schooled in a movement that Is unalterably op- posed to class distinction and to placing the ordinary person in sep arate class from those of means. do not propose on any question, whether 1t be economical, industrial or social, to see the laboring man and the man of average means sup pressed, repressed and denied the fundamental privilege that Is ex- tended to any other man, and in this effort I ask for your active support as many of the organizations have pledged themselves already.

COUNTY WILL LEI
 ROADC0NTRAC7 South Bessemer Project to Be Negotiated Through Rev.
 enue Board Action

Anxious to start work on the revenue yesterday authorized Claud Rogers, county highway engineer, to let the contract at the earliest pos- sible date. It Is stated that the building of the road has been held up for months because of the fail ure of the city and the Birmingham, Railway, Light and Power company to reach an agreement.
 Before the road can be built trac- tion lines near Elizabeth station will be moved & few feet to a new right of way. The city is willing to grant 8 franchise for a new route pro- vded clause Is inserted guarantee ing that the rights of the city in the suit now pending in chancery court against the traction company are in no way prejudiced. The B. R., l.. & P. Co. refuses to &C., cept such an agreement and the building of the road is consequently held up.
 The proposed road which will cost In the neighborhood of s100,0O0 ex- tends from Poplar street to Pear son avenue by way of Elizabeth sta ton and on to the county paving at the city limits. This route will be much shorter than the circuitous read by way of the fairgrounds.
 Thomas Huey acting for the board of revenue held a conference yester- day afternoon with W. J. Wynn. city attorney, A. J. Hawkins. city en- gineer, and Commissioner W. l.. liar rison, but the difference between the city and the traction company still remain to be adjusted.
 The road is to be built on a 65-35 per cent basis between the county and the city and the board of reve- nue is ready and anxious to proceed with the work.
