OPINIONS DIFFER AS
TO METHOD OF AIDING
WOMEN IN INDUSTRIES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-While
speakers at today's session of the
women's industrial conference gener-
ally agreed that special legislation
was needed to safeguard women in
industry difference of opinion was
expressed as to whether it should
take the form of protecting them.
or of limiting in certain respects
their activities in factories
Ridiculng the theory that welfare
legislation for women aggravates So
cial differences between the sexes,
Miss Mary Gibson of Cleveland de-
clared that many women are forced
to do home work before and after
factory hours and consequently
shorter hours and better working
conditions were a necessity for them.
Her solution of the problem was to
make the case of each employed
woman a special one to be decided
upon its merits.
Miss Sophronisba p. Breckenridge,
assistant dean of women, University
of Chicago, discussing "womens
wages" declared that mothers with
young children must be kept out of
industry, and that they must be sup
ported out of the husbands earnings.
In this connection she said that two
schools of thought were developing
-one that would provide adequate
wages for married men who can and
will work. and another that would
provide disciplinary measures for

Lawrence e. Brown, special assis-
tant attorney general, appealed Fri
day to the circuit court of Montgom-
cry county for writ OF mandamus
requiring Harwell G. Davis, attor-
ney general, to approve salary
vouchers totaling $1,000 which. Mr..
Brown claimed to be due him as
special assistant attorney general
from February l, 1921, to January
20, 1923
Attorney General Davis demurred
to the complaint Immediately and
alleged that Mr.. Brown did not show
that he had performed any services
since the date of the last payment
to him. This demurrer was over
ruled. Mr.. Davis then answered the
complainant by alleging that Mr..
Brown had not performed any serv-
ice since the last payment was made
to him and that he had accepted en-
ployment from the Alabama Power
company. The circuit court sus-
tanned the demurrer of Mr.. Brown to
that portion of the attorney generals
answer which referred to the Ala
bama Power company. At the end
of the day the case was awaiting
an amendment of the state to that
portion of the answer which was
stricken by the sustaining OF the
compliments demurrers
$500 Per Month.
Mr.. Brown flied the suit for the
collection of salary of 5000 a
month, contending that he entered
into contracts with the attorney gen.
eral January 81, 1919, whereby he
was to serve as special assistant at
torney general until January 20,
1928, for compensation of $4,000 a
year; that this contract was amend
ed October /. 1919. whereby he was
to receive $500 a year and that
it was further amended February 16,
1920, which relieved him of all duties
except representation of the state
in certain specified litigation, includ-
ing the Atlantic Coast Line franchise
tax cases. the iron and coal tonnage
tax cases. the fuel oil inspection
case, and the income tax case.
He further alleged that he had
performed his duties in those cases
but that Attorney General Davis had
declined to approve vouchers of his
monthly stipend $500 during the life
of the contract.
When the case comes to trial on
its merits the attorney general will
contend that Mr.. Brown performed no
service for the state since the last
payment was made to him.

SUIT OVER VALUABLE
MINING PROPERTY Isl
FILED AT TALLADEGA|

TALLADEGA, Ala, Jan. 12.-(Spe-
cial.)-What is probably one of the
largest and most important suits ever
filed in the circuit court of ITALIA
dega county is that of the Bird Coal
and Iron company VS.. the Kuhara
Mining company and Alexander Tison
for the recovery of the Talladega
furnace property together with the
coal and iron properties in st. Clair
and Etowah counties, including the
Coal City coal mines, embracing in
all about 5000 acres of land.
About six years ago, the Bird Coal
and Iron company purchased these
properties for the purpose of manu-
featuring pig iron at Talladega. In
1919, the furnace at Talladega, to-
gether with all the properties above
mentioned, were leased to the Ku-
hara Mining company, a Japanese
corporation, title being taken by
Alexander Tison of New York to be
held by him for the Kuhara Mining
company and the Bird Coal and Iron
company until the former had had a
reasonable time within which to
make 10000 tons of pig iron, title to
all properties then to be transferred
to the Bird Coal and Iron company.
It Is the contention of the COM
plainant that the contract with the
Kuhara Mining company has expired
and that all of said properties should
now be reconveyed to the Bird Coal
and Iron company.
The suit is on the equity side of
the docket and the prayer of the bill
is that Alexander Tison be required
to make conveyance to Bird Coal and
Iron company as agreed.
Damages also are. sought for the
use of personal property and injury
to the mining property. The Bird
Coal and Iron company is repre-
sented by c. H. Ellis of Talladega
and s. ]. Bowie and Borden Burr of
Birmingham.
