No. 104 and proof reading on the
Age Herald and Birmingham News,
now reading on the Atlanta Georgian
writes interestingly of plans being
made by Atlanta Typographical
Union for entertainment of delegates

Mr.. WINS letter follows:
THE forthcoming convention of
the International Typographical
Union convention to be held in At
lanta in August are moving forward
rapidly. A convention committee of
25 members of Atlanta union-on
which are three former Birmingham
ers-is in charge of arrangements
and it's members are working hard to
sustain, if not to eclipse, the tradi-
tional hospitality of the south.
when the fact that more than 300
conventions are scheduled for At
ton, it is evident that hall and hotel
reservations are matters of prime i'm
portance. The committee has been
fortunate in this regard, in that one
of the best and largest hotels in the
city-the Ansley-has been secured
a headquarters and the city audito-
rum as the place of meeting.
Meeting In Auditorium.
1.-The auditorium is just outside the
noisy traffic zone, has almost per-
feet acoustics and was designed for
just such occasions. 1t is within
few minutes walk of the headquar-
ters hotel and within five blocks of
Five Points the geographical center
of the city. An unusually liberal rate
has been secured for both delegates
and visitors at the Ansley, which, al
ready one of the largest hostelries in
the southeast, will, with the compile
ton shortly of 127story annex, af-
ford ample accommodation to all Wis
itors to the convention.

Cal. saying that he had picked up
Mr. Hays over the radio and intended
to visit the convention. Some adver-
Using, that.
"Of course no occasion of this ma
ture would be complete in this state
without a genuine Georgia barbecue
as one of its entertainment features.
and Atlanta is going out of its way
to make this a er-superlatiNe af-
fair. 1t will probably be held at the
base of Stone Mountain. right under
the great sounding board where Gut
ION Borgulum is carving his giant
memorial to the heroes of the Con-
Efederacy.
There will he sightseeing tours,
special theatrical performances,
dances. get-together parties and
other features of entertainment-all
in process of perfection as to details
to enliven every hour of the seven
days presence of what Atlanta Typo
graphical Union, as well as the en-
tire city hopes will be the best at
tended convention ever held by the
