 Campaign Among Holders

I. J. Giglio, who was appointed in- ternationa1 organizer by the Inter- national Holders Union of North America, January l. 1923, has been carrying on hot organizing cam paign among the holders of Bir- mingham and Bessemer, and reports great headway. He. has doubled the membership of the two locals in the three months he has been on the job Mir. Giglio will go before the execu . tive board of the international and explain to that board the necessity of the international putting on a larger force of organizers in the Bir- mingham district, as the work here is too much for one man. Mir Giglio is expected to return to Birmingham the first of the month with Vice President Nick Smith and two other organizers and they will stay in the Birmingham district until the mold CTS are organized 100 per cent.
 Holders are in great demand all over the country and lots of holders are leaving the Birmingham district to go to other districts where wages are much higher than they are in Birmingham.
 At the meeting of local No. 342 of Bessemer Friday night the members of that union presented MT. Giglio with a beautiful diamond scarf pin as a token from the members for the good work that he has accomplished since he has been on the job.
 MT. Giglio states that upon his re- turn to Birmingham he expects to bring the exact wages paid molders in other parts of the country, and it will show that tine holders in the Birmingham district are receiving 40 per cent less pay than other districts are paying, and the conditions in the shops here are not what they are in other districts, and he points out that the best mechanics are in the Birmingham district and there is no excuse why the holders in Birming ham and other southern cities should not receive the same pay, if not bet ter, than holders in other parts of tI,a counfrv

HOURS OF FIREMAN
 IS WEST CASE ISSUE
Action By Civil Service Board Is Ex-
 pected Monday Night

Action by the civil service commits sion Monday night in the case of W. B. West, fireman, charged with dis orderly conduct Sunday, February II, will depend on the view taken by the board as to when fireman is on duty. This was the opinion of mem bers of the fire department Satur- day.
 West told the civil service com mission Thursday night it was his understanding that the fire depart ment regulations only forbade drink ing when on duty or around the sta tion. Chief J. l.. Akin states that department traditions hold all meii on duty when in hearing distarce of fire signal At Vests trial Thurs day night, Chief Akin told the com mission he considered man on duty at any time inside the. city limits
 The only written authority per taining to the case is the set of rules drawn up by former Fire Chief $. A Middleton and approved by the city commssio on October 15, 1919. Sec ton 39 of this code reads as folows: No intoxicating beverages shall be brought into. kept or drank in or about any house or premises of the department and any member who, while on duty or while in uniform or when about any of the premises of the department becomes intoxicated or absents himself from duty be- cause of drink, or reporting for duty under the influence of liquor shall hold himself liable to discharge from the department"
 Charges against West were or dered preferred by the board when it appeared during the trial of NJ. C. Tucker and R. NJ Rurnel1 firemeu subsequently, discharged by the board, that West had accompanied them on an alleged drinking party on Sunday, February II. Tucker and Burnell were said to have reported at Station l in an alleged intoxicated condition. West did not report at the station until later in the after

Former City Engineer Says Provision For Double Track Car Line on Fist Viaduct Made Clearance Less Than
 Was Originally Intended
MONEY WILL BE SAVED
 BY AN EXACT SURVEY
Kendrick Thinks Railroads Will Be Found Willing to Cooperate If Proper Care Is Taken in Providing For
 Future Extension Program

Julian Kendrick, former city engi- neer of Birmingham, predicts that when a careful study is made it will be found that in constructing the planned underpass at the Twentieth street railroad crossing it will not be necessary to lower the railroad tracks more than four feet. Mir. Kendrick Saturday gave an interest," ing sketch of the viaduct plan devel- opment in Birmingham in reply to statement of Walter c. Kirkpatrick In which MT. Kirkpatrick, also a for mer city engineer, had contended that the Twenty-first street viaduct should not have been built until after the railway tracks were elevated. MT. Kendrick says the fact that the Twenty-first street viaduct carries by actual count s2 per cent more ve- hicles than the Twentieth stree: crossing testifies to it's popularity. Hendricks Conclusions.
 As result of 25 years study of Birmingham, Mir. Kendrick developed these conclusions:
 T. The city had the undisputed rights to full width crossings at Fourteenth street, Eighteenth street. Twentieth street, Twenty-fourtf street and Thirty street, and to crossings the width of the old viaducts at Twenty-first street and Twenty second street.
 "2. The city contends for disputed. rights for full width crossings at Thirteenth street, Twenty-fifth street and Twenty eighth street and for full width Viaduct rights at Twenty- first and Twenty-second streets, and for full width crossings at all even numbered streets.
 3. That viaducts would have to be used at Twenty-first street, Twenty second street, Twenty fourth stree. and at such other streets east of Twenty and west of Thirty second streets, to which the city sue ceeded ill establishing it's rights to cross the railway property
 4. That grade separation west of Twenty first street would be accom- plished by elevation of the railway tracks and by underpasses for the streets.
 D. That the tracks eventually should be elevated across Thirty second street and a viaduet con structed on First avenue and over the l.: X N. and other railway tracks"

Circumstances surrounding and leading to passage of the ordinance 2 requiring the Birmingham Railway, separate entrances for white and negro patrons are outlined by a lengthy statement issued Saturday at the city hall and signed by each of the five members of the city commission
