The Birmingham Electric company will break it's. long silence Saturday and tell the. city commission what it intends to do in the First avenue pay ing-parking controversy.
 Commissioner W. l.. Harrison, after repeated conferences with officials of the company, notified his colleagues to attend conference at 10 o'clock Sat urday morning. Company officials will be present.

COPELAND TIES WALDROP AGAIN
 IN BOARD RACE
Hundreds Throng Office To Witness Remark
 able Contest

With 36 boxes left to check, W. J. Taldrop and W. B. Copeland were in tie for fifth place on the board of revenue when the committee in charge of the recount of ballots in the recent democratic primary recessed at o'clock Friday evening.
 Waldrop has lost 143 votes in the 146 boxes checked since the recount started. He went into Fridays count four votes behind Copeland, but gained them back during the day.
 Both candidates, with groups of their friends, bent over the recount com mittee throughout the day. They jockeyed back and forth in the returns, with one of them taking a small lead in one box only to lose it in the next The recount has developed into the most remarkable contest in Alabama political annals.
 Indications are that it will take un- til Monday afternoon to finish the re- count. The tellers are proceeding rapidly, but with great caution. Rep resentatives of both contestants are constantly on hand, watching the re- check, and both' Copeland and Waldrop have declared the recount will be ab- solutely accurate.
 Once during Friday, Waldrop ran his lead up to II votes, but succeeding boxes slowly cut it down. The 145th box-the last counted before recessing until aturday-showed him four votes in the lead. This was exactly where he had started at the\ beginning of the days check. The last box of the day, however, gave Copeland a gain of four votes, thus making the contestants "all square,"
 Solemnly witching the tellers record the ballots and rarely speaking, Wal drop and Copeland are sitting almost side by side as the long ordeal pro- gresses. The best of feeling exists be- tween them, although a political post that will pay the winner $20,00O in the next four years hinges on the re- suit of the remaining 36 boxes.

Young Workers
Push Campaign
In N. Y. District

Since the organization of the New

good work. Last week a new branch
of the Young Workers League was
organized in Hudson county, New Jer-

Educational Association
Admits Crisis

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Ten thou
sand delegates to the convention Of
the National Educational Association
in session here, are trying to explain
to one another how the American pub
lie school system can serve the COM
mon good and yet retain the support
of all influential elements in the coun-
try.
They have in open meeting con-
fessed that the deflation Of the farm
ing industry has dealt serious blow
to the schools everywhere, and that
the effects Of this weakening Of the
economic safety of the farmers will
be felt for many years in the quality
Of support given the schools and in
the educational opportunities which
can be given the children Of farm
families.
Can't Define Democracy.
While this defation problem was
under discussion by the main body Of
the teachers, special conference on
the problem Of teaching democracy
was under way in another room. This
conference was Unattended, vague and
listless. AS the result Of three years
Of preparatory skirmishing around the
edges of the subject, A. Duncan Yo-
cum, chairman Of the special commit
tee, offered an elaborate report which
proposed that a permanent organiza-
ton should be created for the purpose
Of trying to define democracy. He ar
gued that all viewpoints and persons
of open minds should be brought into
the conference, in order that the
meaning of democracy might be
reached by common agreement thru
tolerant concession. A committee of
100 representative Americans, he sug-
gested, could be selected from organ
izations Of all kinds, and these 100
persons could reach a common defini-
tiop of what democracy-American
brand-really is. Then that kind of
democracy could be taught in the
schools.
Worries About Communism.
For instance, as Mr.. Yocum ex.
planned to Mrs. Potts Of the Daughters
of 1912, who proposed fag-pledge
and oath of allegiance for all teach
ers as a preliminary step, the differ
ence between equality as understood
by the American democracy and as
understood by Communistic Russia,
should be made clear.
Other delegates thought that the
preamble to the federal constitution
wasra good enough definition Of de-
mocracy 1t was safe, and 1--WE all
know just what it means"

racy just sort Of evaporated.

August 10 Picnic.
Preparations are going forward on
the press picnic on August 10.
The city central committee again re-
literates that November z, May day
and Lenin memorial celebrations shall
be conducted by the city organization
and not by the separate branches.
All branches shall notify the city or
ganization of any affairs proposed.
Otherwise these affairs will not be per-
mitted. Because the Italian comrades
scheduled a picnic on August 10, the
same day as the Workers party press
picnic, the city central committee in
structed the Italian comrades to call
off that picnic. If the picnic is gone
thru with, then the Italian comrades
are to donate so per cent of the pro-
ceeds to the city organization or the
DAILY WORKER.
" Reaching the Children.
The party members should get their
children into the junior groups or into
the Young Workers league. In order
to aid this work, party members are
instructed to get their children to join
the junior section of the Young Work
|ers league and branches should make
this special order of business at the
coming meetings.
At this time it is imperative that
every party member shall be an active
agitator and propaganda for Com
munism. We do not want any dead
heads in the Workers party. The par
ty branches must therefore make a
systematic effort to get all members in
good standing and to see that every
member has job to take care of. If
the members are not ready to be in
good standing, if they are not willing
to do their share of work, then it is
better to drop them from the rolls.
This is party of live wire thinkers
and workers.
Look over your branch and get the
members busy. The party is growing
numerically and in activity. Seven
teen new members were brought in at
the last c. G. C. meeting, among whom
were IL union members from the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, car
penters, printers, cement flnishers and
laborers' union.
