WOODWARD COMPANY WILL HELP CAMPAIGN AGAINST MOSQUITOES

First response from pr. J. D. DowI- ing's appeal that industries help in the proposed mosquito elimination program came Thursday morning. when the Woodward Iron company announced it would institute preven- tive and extermination methods in and around it's towns. villages, and camps.
 survey of their territory was re- quested by the company and was made in the morning by E. B. John son, state malaria control engineer, whose headquarters are at the city hall. MT. Johnson estimated that the work would cost approximately $5,000 and would affect approximate ly 10000 people who live in the Woodward districts.
 The towns visited by MT. Johnson were Woodland, Dolomite. Brighton and Red Ore. Mulga. Songo, and Reading will be visited and surveys made later.
 Action of the Woodward company was considered exceedingly gratify ing by health authorities. This com panys work will be similar to that done for several years by the Ten nessee Coal. Iron and Railway com pany, the only industry in Jefferson county that has, heretofore, con ducted such a program. The work of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail way company was so effective that in the recent epidemic of dengue fever when hundreds of cases were reported throughout the county. not one was experienced in their ter ritOry

JEMISON COMPANY TO HOLD ANNUAL BANQUET

Ninety-odd members of the, organi- zations of Jemison & Co. and Jemi- son. -Seibels Insurance agency will
 hold their annual banquet in the ball
 room of the Tutwiler hotel Friday evening, beginning at 6:30 o'clock. A
 feature of this occasion is that it
 will mark the twentieth anniversary
 of the establishment of the business.
 It is likely. therefore. that glances will be taken into the past. remi- niscences indulged in, and finally faces turned hopefully to the future. Birmingham Twenty Years Ago
 and Now will likely be the. topic of some discussion, according to Rob- ert Jemison, Jr.. who will act as
 toastTlaster.
 The affair Is informal, all members of the organization are invited to express themselves, and the idea is to have each year a general good fel- lowship gathering, at which the work of the past year Is reviewed and plans made for the future, according to MT Jemison.

PENNSYLVANIA ROAD
 ATTACKS LEGALITY OF RAIL LABOR TRIBUNAL
By Associatea Presi

WASHINGTON. Jan. l1-In argu- ment presented today in the supreme court, counsel for the Pennsylvania Railroad system challenged the juris- diction of the railroad laoor board over wages of railway workers and theii. working conditions, The board. they contended, exceeded it's author ity in setting aside agreements ne- gotiated between the company and it's shop employees.
 On the other hand. the government argued the board had not exceeded the powers conferred on it by the transportation act of 1920. Black burn Estsrline, assistant to the so- licito~ general, asserted that the board was act-finding body, noth- ing more than an arbitration tribG- nal dependent on the support of pub lie opinion for the enforcement of it's findings and was not subject to

COMMITTEE REFUSES ADDITIONAL FUND FOR SHOALS DEVELOPMENT
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HfRALD ! Washington. b. C.. Jan. u

The suggestion of the United States Corps of Engineers that in ad- dition to appropriating approXimate- ly seven millions dollars for continu ing work on the Wilson Dam until July, 1923, the appropriations cern- mittee likewise authorize an apprC- priation of ten million dollars for the completio or the work by July, 1924, was rejected by the appropriation committee today.
 The engineers desired the ten mill lion dollars authorized in the present. measure. not because they would need any portion of 1t before the beginning of the fiscal year, 1925, but because they desired to enter into contract for delivery when needed of machinery in the fabrica- tion of which the consumption of much time is necessary.
 Brigadier General Harry Taylor, assistant to the chief of engineers. explained the situation to the com mittee as follows;
 Tt would be very advantag to have that appropriation authorized, because while we will not spend more than approximately s7,0O0.U0u in the next year we will reach the stage in the work where it will be necessary to make contracts for the lock gates, dam gates, and other metal work which will require a year or so to fabricate and which will be needed by the end of that time.
 But if we do not have the con- tract authorization, we will not be able to make these contracts until after we get more money and that would delay the work very material ly. While we will not need the money for expenditure, we will need the authorizatio to enter into con tracts
 But the committee turned q deat ear to the plea. It was made plain, however, that the final appropria ton will be made when it's expenditure is necessary for the completion of the dam. General Taylor was moved solely, he explained. through fear that inability to enter into contract for future delivery of gates, would result in delaying final completion of the great undertaking.

BURGER DEAL BOOSTS VALUES ON NORTHSIDE,
 OPINION OF TUCKER

Changed viewpoints as to real es- tate values in the vicinity of Fourth avenue and Twentieth street are the results of the purchase of several lots on that corner by the Burger Dry Goods company and the com pany's announcement that it contem- plated erecting modern store building there. Jerome J. Tucker, declared Thursday at the realtors weekly luncheon at the Tutwiler hotel.
 Announcement that the Ensley real estate board sided with Birmingham realtors in their fight against a 45 cent mortgage tax. and that the city commission had practically agreed to permit the license tax on real estate dealers to remain the same as that of last year were made at the luncheon. Reports of various committees also marked the meet ing.
 G. W. Yancey, chairman of the committee which is preparing and conducting the fight for the passage of zonng enabling act by the state legislature. gave report of the ac- ton of the committee and explained the proposed bill. He stated that the bill drafted by City Attorney ". J. Wynn was not yet in its final form.
 Following a discussion the real tors decided to have incorporated in the bill the right of appeal from the decision of the commissioners proyid- ed by the proposed act to carry out the zoning ordinances. The bill will be drafted so as to give the city broad power in passing zoning ordi- nances. Authority to provide for the segregation of races Is granted by the proposed bill MT. Yancey report ed that realtors from other Alabama cities were supporting the passage of the measure.

Harrison Asks Mayors of Cities to Have Delegations on Hand in Order That the Legislators May Real
 ize Urgency of the Bill
EXPECTS HARD FIGHT AND WANTS FRIENDS ACTIVE
Representatives of Various Cities Asked to Meet Dele
 gation at Capital Monday Afternoon to Make Formal Presentation of Measure

The bill for home rule of public utilities will be presented to the legislature Tuesday and 20 cities that have indorsed the measure have been urged by City Commis- sioner w. L. Harrison, chairman of the League for Municipal Con- trol, to have representatives in Montgomery at that time. Letters were sent to mayors of these cities by Commissioner Harrison Thurs day morning-and copies of the bill are now being prepared for dis tribution among the legislators.
 Commissioner Harrison and City Attorney W. J. Wynn, secretary of the Municipal league, will represent the city of Birmingham, and other commissioners may accompany them. Other members of the Mu- nicipal league committee expected to be present when the bill is pre- sented are O. B. Hill, Jr., city att torney of Florence, and Harry T. Hartwell, city commissioner of Mo- bile.
 Harrison's Letter
 The letter of Commissioner liar rison pointed out that many citizens will probably be In Montg gomery Monday for the inauguration of Gov ernor-elect w. w. Brandon. Main taining that the bill should be pre- sented as early as possible, he, there fore, suggested that it be done either Monday or Tuesday. The latter de- clared that hard fight is expected, la nal combined sentiment Of Ala bama municipalities will mean its passage.
 4~--~~.ng is the letter.
 We deem it advisable to have the Home Rule bill, which has just been completed, presented to the legisla- ture at the earliest convenient time. It occurred to us that you or some officer from your city would proba- ply attend the Governors inaugura- ton next Monday, and that perhaps the legislature would be in session the following day. For that reason you might designate such officer as member of the committee to pre- sent the Home Rule bill, and make the one trip serve both occasions.
 We expect to have a fight on this bill. but we expect, in view of the general sentiment of the municipal ities, to succeed in having it passed. We think the larger and more repre- sentative we can make the dele gation which shall present this bill the better it vii be for us. We will appreciate it, therefore. if you will communicate with us at once, giving us the name of the officer whom ye designate as the member of the committee to present this bill; and in order that the committee may get to- gether, direct your representative to meet with us in the lobby of the Gay-Teague hotel at ? o'clock, Monday. January t5. We do not know that the bill can be presented on the day of the inauguration, bu' in all probability it can be presented on the following day therefore ar Arange for your representative to stay over at least until the rext day, II possible. Very truly yours,
