EIGHT- HOUR PLAN POSTPONED UNTIL.
 GRANT, F0RD COMES
Refusal Of Independent Com panieS To Follow Lead
 Causes Delay

Institution of the eight-hour day in the steel industry in the Birming- ham district has been postponed per- haps indefinitely by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. Of ficials here have decided to await the return of President George Gordon Crawford from Europe. The policy was inaugurated by Judge Ebert II. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation, sew eral weeks ago.
 Intimation by other iron and steel companies in the district to Vice President Fl. C. ltyding of the Ten nessee company that they would not put into effect the new shift caused postponement of action by that cor poration, it was understood in trade circles Monday. This would place the Tennessee company up against the proposition of being isolated in the situation. It Is thought the company Is hesitant to take such q step unless the other companies indicate they will also begin the eight-hour day in their department of continuous op- erations.

REFUSES ID MAKE CHANGES IN PLAN FUR FIRST AVENUE
Judge Grubb Asks East End Citizens To Wait Until
 Status Known

Federal Judge w. l. Grubb ruled Monday afternoon that he could not authorize a change in the contract between the city and receivers of the street car company with respect to parking on First Avenue until the outcome of bills now pending in the legislature to fix the status oa this thoroughfare as city or county highway, is known.
 A committee of East Lake citizens called upon Judge Grubb Monday af- ternoOn with a request for the modi- fication of the settlement ordinance of the city's with regard to parking provisions on First Avenue.
 Judge Grubb declared that he did not think receivers of the street car company should be called upon to pass on the matter of abandoning the paving contract until the status of First Avenue as city or county highway has been settled by the leg islature under pending bills and the liability of the street car company for the paving has been definitely de- termined
 Judge Grubb also asserted that in view of the probable reorganization of the company in the near future, it seemed only fair that the ultimate owners of the reorganized property stould have a chance to consent or dissent to the abandonment of the parking contract.

DISTANCE OF HAUL AND C AR B 4 C E TYPE CONSIDERED
Paxton Discusses Important Features Of Survey For ln-
 Cinerator System

Among the many phases of the sur vey of Birmingham for possible in troduction of incinerators to handle the city's refuse are two that must of Cleveland, who is doing the fiel9 work Richness of the garbage in possible by-products and distance to be covered In haulage.
 Washington, D. C., Mir. Paxton. said Monday morning, has the rich est output of garbage in the United states, the number there of what are termed poor people Is comparatively small. while on the other land the city bristles with hotels. restaurants and boarding hONses and tho general run of the people who live there in habiting the apartment houses. flats and homes is far above the aver age. Consequently the garbage con tains an unusually high percentage of matter that is saivagable, grease especially. This product, when purI- fled, has an excellent market value. Because of this, part of the main tenance of the Washington incinefa- tors Is paid for from the output, mak- ing that sort of incinera ton the log ical kind to install there because 1t reduces expenses. What the content of the Birmingham garbage is re- mains to be determined and this an alysis will bear upon the sort of
 
 Another highly important point in the survey is distance of haulage. Birmingham has nearly the same area IS Philadelphia. Pa, yet Phila- delphia has ten times Birmingham s population.
 Whether it is best to establish q central plant or more than one plant with units located about the city's area, or two main plants, at the east and west areas of the community, are all questions that must be solved in the survey.
 Haulage will determine, partially, this decision, and the number of in cinerators will bear strongly on the sort of haulage to be used All the time haulage is under consideration the matter of quiet, Inconspicuous- ness and economy have to born in mind.
 Mr. Paxton sal dthe survey mad just been started a few days. and that it will be several weeks before the research findings as they are compiled will begin to point to the sort of incineration needed.

M'LENDON SEEKING BIRTHDAY DATE TO
 FAVOR MIR. COOLIDGE

President Calvin Coolidge, hav- ing written President David Me Lendon, of the Birmingham city commission letter. received Mon day morning, Mr. McLendon was up in the air all day. not so much be- cause of having received com muDication from the commander in chief of the army navy and nation, but because facilities at the city hall made it so hard to reply.
 Ihe letter indicates that the President wishes the city and nation to honor the memory of Monsieur Motier with the establishment of a national holiday commemorating Monsieur's date of nativity and the anniversary of the battle of the Marne.
 That is where President McLendon got ln deep water, Tn the first place he knew there were two battles ot the Marne, one opening the war as first class scrap and the other closing it with the defeat of the enemy. But to make matters worse, uelviug in the Encyclopedia Britain lea did not help, because the gentle man in question, being of French extraction, received scant notice. McLendon searched through this and that cyclopediana," but the infor- nation was not to be had. A bright idea striking him. he looked at the communication from the nations chief. then he let out a whoop; MT. Coolidge had passed the buck, the date was painfully missing from the letter.
 Not for a minute did Mir McLendon believe Mir. Collage had written that letter, nor the presidents secretary, it was just one of those letters the society for the this and that and the other gets permission to send out, leaving the details to those who have mure time

 Then why in blazes didn't he say so, Birminghams chief executive blazed, instead of putting down this roll call of a girls schol?'

 No wonder 3the Germans wanted to lick 'em, then" Mir. McLendon mumbled
