GOVERNOR STAYS
 NEGR0'S SENTENCE
Studemyer Gets New Lease on Life by Reprieve
 Yesterday

Doomed to hang at noon today. Charles Studemyer, negro, was given new lease on life yesterday, when Gov. Thomas k. kilby atayed the hangman's moose for two weeks, to allow an investigation into the case. Information to this effect was contained in a telegram received yesterday by Sheriff J. C. Harts- fIeid.
 Studenyer was convicted of slay- ing James w. Mcdowell, a salesman, two years ago. The trouble arose following the negro's discharge from the plant. He escaped and remained at large for more than year until he was captured in Cincinnati through the work of W. l.. Brannon and Eddie Lyons of the city detec- tive bureau
 An appeal was taken from the sentence of the trial court which placed the death penalty on him. However. the supreme court upheld the sentence and set today as the date cf the execution.
 His two weeks respite was grant ed on the activities of Palmer H. Bell, his attorney, who went to Montgomery yesterday to present a petition to the governor seeking to have the sentence commuted to life imprisonment The case of Stude- myer is the third recently in Jeff ferson county in which a reprieve has been granted. The death sen tences of Tom Lambert and of Archie Bellamy. negro, were both com muted to life Imprisonment.

CLOE ANNOUNCES
 TEMPORARY GUT IN
 EMPLOYES' SALARY
Takes Reduced Pay Himself So Police and Bremen Don't Accept ReduG-
 ton Alone

Every member of the Birmingham department of public safety begin ming August l. including the head of the department himself. will be af- fected by a 10 per cent decrease in salary for the two months or Au- gust and September, according to announcement by Commissioner w. B. Cloe yesterday.
 This step is necessary, the safety head points out because of the de- ficft for his department. which has extended over a period of more than seven months.
 Four hundred or more employees of the city are affected by the retreneh- ment policy announced, which in- cludes every member of the police and fire departments.
 Commissioner Cloe recently re- ceived for his office S10,000 all lowanee transfer from the street de- partment, which, together with the decrease in salaries, which will op- crate, beginning next month, will save the city approximately s9,000 and bring the department within the budget allowance, it is tSought.
 The men accepted the decrease willingly" one police official stated, and although MT. Cloe asks that the men report to him within three days whether or not they could afford the cut. it goes without saying that they will not suffer because of the acceptance of the decrease and not one single complaint has been heard from any of the men thus affected"
 A personal call by the safety com missioner to each of the fire stations in the city was made yesterday after noon and no complaint was heard from them, Mir. Cloe reports.
 One good thing you can say about the men," remarked George R. Traf- ford, secretary of the department, Ifs that they realize there is only one way to meet disadvantages and they believe in team work and CO., operation and many of them called the office and expressed their will ingness in assisting the department in any way possible to bridge the present budget deficit situation

CIVIC ASSOCIATION
 SAYS JOIN US'.
Secretary Dewberry Replies in Kind to Chamber of
 Commerce Overture

Chamber of Commerce and Civic association are exchanging amenities.
 Acting on resolution of the cham Der directors, Secretary o. l.. Bum wrote directors of the Civic asso- ciation extending an invitation to membership of the association to be come members of the chamber.p
 J. NJ. Newberry, new elected sec retary of the Civic association, has written to Secretary Bum inviting the membership of the chamber to become members of the Civic asso- eiation.
 MT. Newberry's letter to Manager 8unn reads:
 q have been requested to reply to your letter dated July 19, 1922 addressed to the members of the board of directors of the Blrming- ham Civic association, in which you extend an invitation to the members of the Civic association to become members of the Chamber of Com merce. This Is no new privilege and l understand that many citizens arc members of both bodies The Civic association will gladly welcome as a member any one connected with the Chamber of Commerce and we see no reason why there should not be the fullest cooperation.
 If your letter was intended 10 re- late to a merger or consolidation of the two bodies. we have to advise that at largely attended meeting of the board of directors held cn Tuesday of this wee0 the rumor which had appeared in the daily press was discussed and the sentiment unanimously expressed was against consolidation or even fts conaid eration.
 The Civic association was organ ized for broad and fearless purposes and will continue it's work for great and a still greater BirmIng ham"

Local Allied Craftsmen
 Deny Rotarian Charges
 In Strong Resolutions

The following resolution has been adopted by the striking shopmen in refutation of the scathing resolution published as part of the business of recent meeting of the Birming- ham Rotary club
 Whereas, the Birmingham Rotary club in session July 19, s22, adopted and gave to the press of this city, a resolution condemning the six allied railway crafts now on strike, with out thorough investigation as to facts' and with a fragrant misquota- tion of truths, and
 Whereas, said resolution reflects on the integrity and patriotism of a large group of citizens of this dis trlct' who are now, have always been, and will continue to be among tn emost law abiding citizens of this country, and
 Whereas, the resolution, coming as 1t does, from an organization that has repeatedly shown it's opposition to any kind of organization or affn- iatlon for the protection and uplift of the working people. Therefore be 1t resolved,
 That the striking shop crafts in Birmingham and vicinity openly deny N-AN eAiN AiOilS COHNdin6u III Sdtu res oIutions that a fight is being made against the government. Proving this by some action that preceded and also that has followed the call ing of the strike:
 Chairman Ben W, Hooper of the railroad labor board, has changed in his opinion that it Is a fight on government agency by calling into conference the strikers representa- Hves and committee from the rail way managers for the purpose of adjusting the differences and if pos sible bring about a settlement of the controversy, admitting that the rail- road labor board is medium of arbi- tration.
 Senator Cummins. the leader in the framing of the transportation act, under which the labor board was created, has openly construed the past action of the board in numer- ous cases as being a violation of the Intent of the act.
