Babies And Children Swarm
 Through Halls Of City Hall

supervising nurse in charge of the Baby Week" campaign for the city, indicated that all centers were as popular as that at the city hall and mothers throughout the city were bringing their children, and not only waiting, but many were taking an active interest in what is going for ward.
 The Birmingham Axis club mem bers have volunteered to furnish sec retaries for the work and other mem bers to assist in what is going for ward. But for this help, Miss La Forge said, the nurses and doctors would be utterly out of their depth and unable to attend to the many things that must be done.
 Thursday and Friday the examina- tions will be continued, so but two days are left in which parents may attain without cost a necessary ex- animation that would run into real money if made in the usual profes- sional visit of a physician. Each child Is examined by more than one specialist, the doctors giving their services free and the city paying all monetary expenses.

Romano Property Purchased And Hospital Sale Pro-
 CeedS Will Be Used
BESSEAIER BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD !

The United Charities purchased the Romano home at Sixth avenue and Eighteenth street this week, and it is proposed to turn this place into a charity home for old persons. The house Is large and we'll built. The plan of the organization, it is stated, is to remodel it so as to create a number of small apartments.
 This property was built in the early days of Bessemer by J. Marks s and was occupied by his family for a number of years. It is constructed of good material throughout and oc- cupies a frontage of 100 feet on Sixth Senue, extending back to the ally. 40 feet.
 The house contains a number of rooms with a large porch extending around the side. If is believed that with a comparatively small eXpendi- ture it can be converted into an ideal home for aged people.
 The United Charities recently sold the Elizabeth Duncan hospital. From the proceeds of this sale this prop erty is to be remodeled and equipped. The organization will then have funds to be put out at interest to apply on the maintenance of the undertaking, though there are a large number of business concerns which contribute liberally to the institution.

WALKOUT CRIPPLES V|RG|NIAN RAIL WAY
Employees Say IntoIerable Working Conditions Are
 Responsible For Action

CHICAGO. Nov. S.-Intolerable working conditions, which had re- mained unadjusted through nearly a years negotiations, caused the walk out of nealy two-thirds of the en- zine and firemen crews on the Vir- ginian railroad at a. m, today tele- grams from Warren s. Stone and D. B. Robertson, heads of the two brotherhoods to the United States railroad labor board today stated.
 The telegram received by the board late today, stated that walk out of between 400 and 500 em- ployes was "caused by drastic dis c:pline and intolerable conditions forced on them by Vice President Hix."
 In a telegram sent both employees and the road last night the labor board assumed Jurisdiction over the dispute and cited both parties to appear for a hearing November IA. Notwithstanding this order the em- ployes put in effect their threat to strike within 24 hours by walking out early today. In later telegram the labor board called upon the employees to resume work unti the hearing is held and a decision rem dered.
 Some of the conditions given Tn the telegram of the two brotherhood chiefs to the board today were that the road forced engine crews to use two and three Mallett engines on slow tonnage trains through num- erous tunnels, subjecting the en- zine employees to untold hardship and jeopardizing their lives.
 In concluding their wire, Stone and Robertson advised the board that the two organizations will be rep resented at the hearing set by the board but nothing was said about the resumption of work by the striking men.
 Earlier in the day, Vice President Hix of the Virginian road, tele graphed the board for permission to employ men to take the place of the striking enginmen saying that traf- fic was being seriously interrupted. The board replied, after an eXecu- tive session that nothing in their citation of last night prohibited him from taking steps to continue move- ment of trains. It was in this tele- gram that the board called upon both parties to resume normal conditions until the matter has been taken be- fore the board and reached de- ciSion.

 Hard labor" sentences in Bir- mingham have about as much terror for prisoners in Birmingham as other sentences formerly had, before Com missioner w. B.

 By simply running down his auto mobile license number A. c. Smith or the police force got the right man. All penalties were doubled, costs were added, and an extra $50 applied on general principles.
 Heavy fines is one solution of the hard labor" question, according to officials, but the question about not carrying out sentences has given rise to worry.

"If a udge sentences a prisoner to hard labor, and the authorities do not give the prisoner any hard labor to do, can the prisoner be held in jail ?' is the question that was interesting city officials Thursday.
 Recorder Henry J. Martin of the policec ourt of Birmingham has been sentencing prisoners, when he deem- ed the penalty suitable, to hard labor every once in while for the past two years. To his knowledge, these hard labor sentences are not being carried out.
 Every since the city of Birming- ham abolished chain gangs and street work penalties serving several years ago the white prisoners of the city have lived life of comparative ease. Practically all of the work about the city jail is done by negro prisoners, the white prisoners greatest task that of breaking up corn bread and lifting coffee cups.
