RETAIL TRADE WAS
 BETTER IN MAY
Reserve Bank Reports Rise in Farm Products and
 in Metals

Decrease in unemployment of labor, improvement in the price of cotton, grains and other farm products and enchancement of retail trade are out standing features of the May review of the Sixth District Federal Reserve bank
 Items from the review are as fol- lows:
 Steady improvement indicated in the yield of the principal agricultural products has been an outstanding feature in the developments of the past month. Improvement in the prices of cotton, grains and other products is also a noteworthy fea- ture of the month.
 The marked improvement in the case of iron and steel noted in busi- ness surveys of previous months has continued during May. thrilled orders increasing materially and ingot pro- duction being the greatest in any one month since November, 1920. Much the same may be said with respect to copper an the other non-ferrous metals.
 Due to the continuation of the textile strike the output of cotton goods has been materially lessened. although in the southern cotton mill districts plants are reported as oper- ating near the full capacity.
 "Reflecting the improved con- dition in agriculture and the large disbursement in wages in many basic industries, retail trade exhibits an enhancement of buying power, re- turns being more favorable than those of recent months"

Senator Thomas Hefzin's
 Tribute to Birmingham

Senator J. Thomas Heflin took oc- casion in his memorial address at Woodrow Wilson park yesterday to pay a tribute to Birmingham as the Industrial Queen of Dixie" He spoke as follows:
 When the Indian chief. leading his tribe in search Of an ideal spot of earth, reached the soil of this beautiful and picturesque common wealth of ours he exclaimed with delight, Alabama-here We restf>
 The balmy climate and the primev- al forest, abounding in wild life or every kind made 1t the rcd mans happy hunting ground. Beyond the penetrative power of the red man, natures God had stored an inexhaust- ible supply of mineral wealth, await ing the call of the commanding white man. Here 50 years ago. in her noun tain fastness. Birmingham was born. When only a village Infant, wise men pronounced her a prodigy and pre- dieted for her future of marvellous growth and development. When but an industrial village lassie, she wooed the wooded hills and they told her their secrets. With the magic wand of her skill and genius she smote tho hillsides and commanded, open sesame.
 .The caverns of the hills responded and poured out at her feet their treasures of coal and iron. l saw a furnace spring up as if by magic and l heard the red spirit of the flaming coal calling crude iron to come forth from its rocky prison house. I saw 1t leap ard laugh in molten mass as 1t ran like fiery serpent down the long trenches of the sand. Then I heard the clang of hammers and the hum of whirling wheels, and Birmingham took her place as an industrial queen In the great work shop of the world.

 KLux''-Bondurant

The Birmingham Bar association yesterday continued it's fight against masked parades when a committee composed of. Frank s. White, c. P. Beddow and George B. Bondurant appeared befoer city commission and suggested the passage of an ordi- nance preventing the appearance in public place and on streets and high ways of masked or disguised persons.
 After the committee had made an appeal to the commission to pass such an ordinance Commissioner Harrison said that if there was hope of stopping mob violence by such an ordinance he would be willing to support 1t, but expressed his be- lief that other and stronger measures should be taken in order to assure the prevention of any occurrences of recent whippings.
 Frank S. White stated that there were many things the commission could do. but the ordinance was all that the bar association was asking for the present.
 Following brief discussion the com- mission delegated Frank $. White. c. P. Beddow and George Bondurant to assist W. J. Wynn, city attorney. to draw up an ordinance covering the request, 10 be presented to the com mission,
 Mir. Wynn asked the committee to frame the ordinance and he would pass upon 1t, making whatever alter ations, commissions or changes neces- sary.

 Tn his talk to the commission to frame the ordinance. Captain White said:
 we are deeply interested and in earnest about this matter. We are enraged at these floggings going on in our midst and feel that the incent- i've or excuse for such actions can be traced to mass or mob violence. T don't say these crimes were per- petrated by the Ku Klux Klan, but do believe had 1t not been for this organization. we would not have had these whippings in Bir- mingham. There were no whippings before this organization came in our midst and they began shortly after ward"
 To Hell With the ku IxIux
 George Bondurant said that he had been asked at one time to join the Ku Klux Klan.
 T said, to hell with the Ku Klux Klan, at that time and I repeat it now he said. "Whatever these per sons might say about the justice and purity of their organization, they are wrong if they hide behind their masks and gowns and fail to show their faces"
 Tt is never too late to mend" said C. P Beddow in his remarks to the commission "A cifV official has heen mistreated and the city commission is deeply interested.
 "Dr. Bowling Is just as much martyr to duty and the uphoiding of his duty as Lincoln, or Mckinley, or Gadfield. He has done more for the health of Birmingham than any other one man here"
