IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
SHOULD CONSULT DIRECTORY

"If the general public of Birmingham would take the trouble to look in the telephons di- rectory for the correct number of the police headquarters and the warden's office, it would save us and also themselves a lot of time, worry and trouble" stated L. T. Ellzey desn sergeant at police headquarters.
 "It seems that the majority of persons who call for the warden's office get in touch with the police headquarters, and those who want to get in touch with police headquarters usu- ally get the warden's office. This causes us quite a bit of inconvenience, especially dulng these months when the criminal record is pretty high, and can best be remedied if the public will bear in mind that the quickest way to get connection with the right office is to look in the telephone directory. I want to state further that the warden's office number, which also covers the city jail, $ Main 551, and police headquarters number is Main 554. I am not criticising; merely trying to suggest a remedy"

HIGHER WAGES FOR 5O OOO WORKERS

In one way and another b0,0oo mine and mill workers in Alabama win receive a sub stantial wage advance effective September l.
 The district will come to the first month of autumn with increased pay rolls, whose total at present pace of production means millions more of purchasing power here. After five months of coal strike and 10 weeks of rail strike production of this district keeps step with the 100 per cent pace at which 1t entered the turn of the year. We win come to the wage increases under full head of steam.
 The Steel Corporation has proven stabilizer of industry in Alabama. Its lead is automat- ically followed by other coal, iron and steel producers, and it's lead being a good one, the entire industrial fabric of the state is bene- fitted by having it a criterion. It plays a safe, sound game, brimming with common sense and it's other name, which is fair play. No business Is sound unless fair play enters into its conduct.
 What the district especially likes about the wage advances made by the Steel Corporations interests in Alabama and by the Alabama coal operators is that both came voluntarily and without strike. They were announced in the ordinary course of business and based on the higher price obtained for the mined and milled product The public must pay the bill, but it does not mind bill which comes by gradua- tions and is in line with the laws of supply and demand It does object to bills that are en- tailed by strife with their cumulative cost. . Alabama has withstood the two strikes as no other industrial center in the country has done It is willing to pay something for that.

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IS
 AFFECTED BY STRIKES

Henry Ford's announcement that his plants will be closed on September 16, as result of the coal shortage, will throw more than 1000 of his own employees out of work and much larger number of other men who are employed in plants furnishing materials for the Ford factories.
 If MT Ford wished to impress tho gravity of the industrial situation on the country and, incidentally, the government, he has succeed ed in doing so by announcing his drastic de- cision at time when it is claimed that the Ford plants are turning out more cars than ever before in their history.
 There have been indications recently that the Detroit manufacturer was worried by the with the Louisville and Nashville ranroad to transport coal to Detroit, using his own rail- road for that purpose, but for some reason the negotiations failed. As this seems to have been the only solution possible, Mr. Ford de- cided to stop work until there is enough coal in sight to insure continuous operation.
 Naturally, MT. Ford planes Wall street in- terests for tampering with the coal and rail road industries, but regardless of one's views on that subject, it is only too apparent that the nations welfare and it's industries are so ap- solutely dependent on coal mines and railroads that coal and rail strikes are becoming intol- erable. They bring hardship of one kind and another on practically every citizen in the country. Manufacturers and business men are hit hardest, but in month or two the whole nation will feel the pinch of a coal shortage. It does no good to admit, as Washington has been doing for some time past, that the situa- tion is grave, unless definite steps are taken to apply a remedy. So far as the rail strike Is

HEARTY WELCOME TO THE ALABAMA MERCHANTS

hearty welcome to the merchants who will arrive tomorrow for the Alabama Merchants convention.
 They are welcome because they have brought business to Birmingham and will bring more. They are more than welcome because, just as we are doing, they are pulling for the inter- ests of their beloved state while pulling for their own.
 Birmingham does not care whether they make purchases during their three days so- journ here or do not. We shall have brought them here to renew the friendship which had been established before the war and which oc- casioned the organization of the Alabama Mer- chants association with permanent headquar- ters in Birmingham.
 Preparation has been made to entertain the visitors in . number of ways. Birmingham wishes them to feel at home during their visit and to learn more about us and our ways as ways.
 Merchants of Alabama constitute an un- wielded power that once it is welded together and acts with a co-ordinated strength, will work wonders for the state. Merchants are a conservative class, and far too prone to al- low others to do their political and civic think ing for them. The state needs more of their direct impart on the body polite.
 It is to be great mass meeting of the mer- chants of Alabama. Much good ought to flow from their contact under pleasant surroundings and companionship

A Woman Indian Chief
From the New York Herald.

When a few days ago Mrs. Alice B. Davis of the Seminoles the tribe passed over all prece- dents in tribal laws and customs. She be- came, an Oklahoma authority says, "the first woman chief who ever occupied that office in the history of the North American Indians No Indian ceremony, it is declared, ever more elaborate more impressive than that cele- brating the bestowal of this honor woman. Tribal leaders from all parts of the southwest, Indian warriors and white who had fought against them in Indian wars were among the attendants, and the tribe, one of the richest of the Five Civilized Tribes, carried out the inau- gural rites in strict accordance with ancient traditions.
 Mrs. Davis has spent much of her fife among the Seminoles She was born near Tahlequah, the old capital of the Indian Ter ritory; her father was for many years a phy- sician among the Indians, and her brother, the late Gov. John r. Brown served the tribe as chief for 30 years. She is to represent the Seminoles in winding up their tribal affairs, and she may thus be the last chief of this great tribe.
 The Semnoes wish it to be understood that Mrs. Davis became their chief not because of her hereditary privileges as a member of the tiger clan from which chiefs have always been chosen nor because of her relationship to Governor Brown. She was selected solely upon her ability to rule and her superior quallf,c4- tions as a leader. In other words, she was chosen the head of the tribe despite the fact that she was woman. In view of this recog- milton of feminine ability it would seem either the Seminoles were late in choosing woman as their chief or that their women were back ward in asserting their rights.
 The statement that Mrs. Davis is the first woman chief in the history of the North Amer ican Indian may be questioned. Indian tradi- tions, at least, refer to several women leaders. The Iroquois have a legend of virgin queen whose reign, while one of severity, was marked by conquests and progress; the Sioux tell of a maiden in white who came out of the north and led them so successfully in war that she was placed over the head of every other chief, and Spanish explorers mention Indian women who ruled wisely in Mexico and Central Amer ica. Who knows but that somewhere in the past there may not have been among tke h. dians Queen Elizabeth, an Empress Gath erine or a dominant Semiramis? Perhaps If one of these had lived and ruled after the white man came the fate of the American Indian might have been different from what it is.

TO FINISH WORK OF
 MICHAEL COLLINS
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 When the secession collapsed at Alp pomattox some harebrained people in the not be maintained in starving and desolated land where transport all but totally de- stroyed in the possession of the victors, but rowing bands of raiders might have long sur vived pursuit and caused considerable trouble. Fortunately these mad schemes were aban- doned and the south was spared the calamity of useless bloodshed.
 Had the same wisdom prevailed among the Irish republicans after the Free State forces had decisively beaten them in their final stand at Cork, Ireland would have been spared the lamentable tragedy of Tuesday night when Michael Collins slain by sniper from am- bush Strictly speaking the killing may not be regarded as murder, for Collins was on military errand at the time, accompanied hy an armed escort, and ambushes recognized as legitimate devices of warfare Warfare still prevailed between the Irish factions when he was waylaid and shot. The criminality and folly which may properly be imputed to the re- publcans is in their maintaining futile fesis- tance against government which has clear mandate from the Irish people and which Is bound to win in the end Collins and his army had turned the republicans out of strong hold after another, beginning with the Four courts in Dublin and ending with operations oil b,,+o whelming. Had the republicans glimmering of sanity in their counsels they would have recognized defeat long before this, given up hopeless struggle and joined with their oppo- to bind up Irelands wounds. But apparently it is idle to expect sanity of the Irish repab- licans They are madmen with mad leaders.
 Good causes supported by popular majoritIes are not destroyed by the destruction of the!r chieftains. The cause of the Irish Free State is a good cause It is supported by an impos- ing popular majority. Already the shock and dismay caused by Collins death passing. There is no cry for vengeance, but the resolu- tion stiffens to continue the work of Collins and Griffith. William T. Cosgrave chairman of the provisional governments cabinet, strikes the keynote of the occasion when he says of Collins: "Hs death has sealed his worK ard the nation is resolved to bring his work to triumph
 Richard Mulcahy is capable of carrying on Collins work in the field. He has the exper:- ence, he has the skill and he has at his command the means necessary to hunt down the guerilla bands. Gavan Duffy and Cosgrave have gifts for political leadership. If they fail, others who will not fail will arise to take their place. The Free State will not perish. It may suffer from the death of Collins. Its ultimate tri umph may be the longer deferred because he is gone. But it must win finally because it represents the majority of the Irish people. and majorities when challenged by civil war do rot suffer minorities to rule them.

CENSORSHIP WOULD CURB
 RIGHTS OF MAJORITY

Augustus Thomas, the veteran playwright who has been placed at the head of the the atrical interests of America, recently said to an interviewer: Censorship is sterilizing be- cause, after all, the limit of the personal cen- sor is the temperament of the man himself, and reasonable liberty is little wider than any single personality"
 That sentence is the best answer that could possibly be made to the movement to regulate

SONG
By Christina Rossetti.

By Christina Rossetti.
 When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree; 4 Be the green grass above mo With showers and dewdrops wsty And if thou wilt, remember; And if thou wilt, forget. shall not see the shadows,
 I shall not feel the rain; I shall not hear the nightingale Sing on, as if in pain; And dreaming through the twilight That doth not rise or set Haply I may remember,
 And haply may forget.

concerned, nobody seems to know when it will end. Even with an ample production of coal, there would still be shortage if it could not be distributed by the railroads.
 The time is coming when public pressure will be brought to bear so powerfully that it will no longer be possible to menace the nations very existence by repeated strikes in :he coal fields and on the railroads.
