Lefty Palmer certainly pitched a
nice game for the Bosses. The Cor
bin team did not get its run by vir-
tue of effective playing. 1t was forced
In when, with the bases filled. Palmer
hit Wojak.
Errors by the Corbin team also
were directly responsible for two of
the Besse's runs. Begley, who scored
first; might never have gotten on had
not Clinton thrown over second when
Fitzpatrick was passed to first. That |
.necessitated play on Fitzpatrick and
prevented possible double play on
Begley's tap. In the eighth 1t was
Wojak's bad heave that let Ray Beg
ley in again.
F'irpo, or his friends al cast al
ready are giving him nice aibi-an
injured arm.
Albis carry but little weight, but
obviously this one is propaganda in
support of another bout with Demp-
sey.
When all Is said and done, Firpo
showed nothing except great game
ness and an ability to assimilate pun
ishment.
His clout which sent Dempsey out
of the ring was something of a lucky
ore, for who would not, like Dempsey,
have been bit careless of the ability
of man who had just been knocked
down for the fifth time inside Of three
minutes.
Firpo now announces that he's going
back to South America and will not
return here unless a profitable offer
is made for another bout.
/, He's getting pretty independent now
and says he will not be forced again
to fight against his wishes.
Well. with the nice little roll in his
stocking he can afford to be indie
pendent.
From a practical pauper just year
ago to the holder of comfortable
fortune today is not so bad.
In fact Luis could retire today and
never work again if he SO desired.
And our advice would be for him to
do so rather than work again against Z
Dempsey. 3

EIGHT HOUR
DAY IN YEAR 1866

The first demand of labor unions
for an eight-hour day was made at q
convention held in Baltimore. Aug
ust 81, 1866. This congress also
marked the first attempt to organize
national federation Of the various
trades unions, national and interna-
tional. then existing in the United
States and Canada One hundred
delegates were present, representing
about so organizations. The de-
mand for the eight-hour day was but
an incident in the sessions Of the
congress, but at succeeding gather
ings it assumed a great importance
and became the leading plank Of or
ganized labor's platform.
Several organizations divided the
allegiance OF organized labor, but in
1881 the Federation Of Organized
Trades and Labor Unions Of the
United States and Canada was
launched, and out of this has grown
the powerful American Federation Of
Labor.

LABOR SHORTAGE IN

IN fact. the practice is quite gen.
eral amongst the decent elements of
employers of the state, and it is
doubtful If many people could be
found who would charge the corpora
tions above referred to with being
over-indulgent in their phiIantrophy

FAIRFIELD BUREAU n
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Fairfield. Ala. Dec. 15

The Fairfield city council at it's meeting Thursday night will fix the annual license schedule for the year 1924. Announcement to this effect was made Saturday by Mayor NJ. w. Pratt. The annual ordinance fixing the schedule of taxes to be paid by the merchants for doing business in this city always attracts interest and attention, and this time there will be no exception.
 According to information obtained at the offices of the city, there is no likelihood that the merchants will be taxed any higher this year than for the past 12 months. The fact that the license schedule here has always been reasonable accounts in a measure for the desire many persons have to To- cate in this city and engage in vari- ous commercial pursuits. 1t is known that the moderate rates have at tracted many here and the city fathers have an ambition to keep the rates as reasonable as possible to the end that this may be continued feeling on the part of merchants. It is understood that there will be some changes reg i've to business now conducted here and some that may develop later.

HUEYSAYS OLD SITE
 |S VERY VALUABLE.
Thinks County Should Take Advantage Of Fact And
 Sell Present Court House

Action of the board of revenue in voting to go ahead with plans for the new Jefferson county court souse on the site recently pur- chased at Twenty first street and Eighth avente, was defended by Ihomas E. Huey, 8 member of the board, in an interview Saturday.
 The question of a new court house IS not recent one," he said. NO steam roller has been used. No rail roadlns methods have been resorted to- The present board of revenue has been pondering the matter for over three years. In 1912 plans were drawn for a new building, but & compromise resulted in the court house annex, with it's labyrinthian tunnels with which all people are ac- quainted who have business at the court house. The erection of an ad- ministration building is not one of sentiment; it is an absolute neces- slty that is apparent to all who are in the least acquainted with the mat ter. Ask any man who has served on the jtry in the past few years, or any one of the thousands of people who have business in the court house, and without exception he will say, Certainly we need a new court house.
 Site Very Valuable.
 "The argument, then. must be: Where shall it be built, and how are we going about building it. For tunately, the present site of the court house has grown to be very valu- able. When it was bought it was not in the center of business as it row is, but business has approached 1t and surrounded it to a large extent For the purposes of a court house, this fact has its disadvantages, but for the purpose of financing a modern project somewhat more removed and more advantageous as a site, the fact that the present site has high value is very fortunate. I consider 1t an extremely good thing that the plot of ground fronting on Capitol park was available at the price paid for it by the board of revenue. The present site of the court house should in all probability bring more than three times the amount paid for the Capitol park site. The difference can therefore be applied toward the construction of the new building"
 Discussing the constitutional debt lemit on the amount of money which counties may borrow, MT. Huey pointed out that no county can bor- row more than one and one-half per cent of the assessed value of the property of such county. Jefferson COuhLy HdS hH hhbtsS6O Ndlle OI property of approximately $24o, ,O0O,- 900 and our limit of credit Is there fore sS.400, ,000." he said. Jefferson county has not as yet made obliga- tions to this amount; but, since without constitutional amendment it is impossible to borrow more than ss.400,000, it appears desirable to re- serve as great a margin of credit and borrowing power as possible. Jefferson county has other needs and bonds should not be issued up to the constitutional limit. Therefore, by
