WEATHERLY BELIEVES THAT
FIVE-COMMISSIONER BILL IS
SURE TO BE DEFEATED
Thai the bill 10 change the city com
mission of Birmingham from three to
five members would never pass the
legislature was the belief expressed
yesterday by City Commissioner James
Weatherly upon his return from Mont
gomery, \\#here he led the fight against
the proposed legislation.
“That the bill was reported favorably
by the committee does not necessarily
assume any significance," said Mr.
Wefetherly last night. “1 am entirely
satisfied with results.
“I do not believe the bill will ever
be adopted by the legislature. The
telegrams, letters, petitions and per
sonal pleas which poured in upon the
municipal organization committee in
charge of the bill made a deep impres
sion and the JefTerson county delegation
is now split on the question.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••■••a
“And in the meantime, until the legis
lature meets again the people of Bir
mingham will be given an opportunity
to think over and express their wishes
for or against the bill. 1 am firmly con
vinced myself that the great majority
of the people are opposed to five com
missioners.”
Asked how the will of the public would
be registered on the issue, Mr. Weath
erly stated he could not yet state in
what form that phase of the matter
would be worked out. He said that at
present he nor any of those leading the
opposition to the bill had any plans for
an initiative election vote to poll the
public on the question, mass meetinc
or any other scheme, but that such
would be decided upon in the near fu
ture. As the matter now stands, the
bill has been reported favorably and
set for action in July when the legisla
ture convenes after recess.

PASSED BY HOUSE
Effort of John to Postpone
Action Fails
NEEDLESS ARGUMENT
Bill Provides Age Limit of 13 for Em
ploying Children and 14 After Sep
tember, 1916—To Reinstate
Confederate Pensioners
By I„ S. BETTY
Montgomery, February 11.—(Special )
By a vote of 82 to 10. the house today
pAssod the compromise child Tabor bilk
which was agreed upon by the Alabama
child labor committee, the Federation of ;
Women s clubs, and the mill operators
The bill was called up as a special order
on the calendar by Representative
Weakley of .lefferson, who Introduced
the original measure.
An unsuccessful effort was made by j
Representative John of Dallas to post
pone the consideration of the bill un
til the third legislative day after re
cess, and the motion to postpone way j
argued at length. The Dallas represen- j
tative opposed the passage of the bill
at this time on the ground that the
bill, in his opinion, did not fill the
neessary requirements, and, when the
house refused to postpone the meas
ure, Mr. John moved that his child
labor bill reported by the judiciary com
mittee, be passed as a substitute meas
ure. This the house refused to do &y
an overwhelming vote.
The consideration of the compromise!
child labor bill brought on the only'
discussion during the morning session,
and precipitated a considerable amount j
of needless argument. Representatives
Weakley, Merritt and Shapiro expressed
vigorous opposition to the motion to
let the bill go over until after the re
cess, and so ably did they protest I
against the postponement of the meas- j
ure that the members were almost
unanimous in favoring immediate eon-I
sideration.
Features of the Bill
Under the provisions of the substi
tute, or compromise, child labor bill, on
any after September 1, 1916, no child
and after September 1. 1916, no child
be employed in any gainful occupation,
except agriculture and domestic serv
ice, and that on and after September 1,
1916, no child under the age of 11
shall take suoh employment. The pres
ent age limit Is 11 years.
Another Important provision of th-5 j
bill, and this Is the compromise divis
ion, regulates the hours of employment,
limiting child labor to 11 hours per day
and 60 hours per week. The orlginol
bill, which was sponsored by the Ala
bama child labor committee and tne
Federation of Women's clubs, limited
the hours of employment to 48 hours per
week.
Representative John opposed the bill
on the ground that It does not conta'n
sufficient requirements, and that It docs
not, as he said, contain certain pro
visions for the enforcement of the law
by the state prison inspector.
The Dallas reoresBeitiOlce declared
that he had written every child labor
law on the statute books of the state,
with the exception of the law written
In the Jelks administration, and stated
that his bill was Infinitely better than
the one under consideration. He re
ferred caustically to Hershell Jones,
secretary of the Alabama Child I,aboi
association, who has been In Alabama
several months In the Interest of the
passage of the bill. The Dallas rep
resentative refered to him as "the man
from God knows where.”

on account of sickness. Representative
Merritt called up the former’s bill rein
stating Confederate pensioners whose
names have been stricken from the pen
sion rolls. The bill was passed with an
amendment by Representative Davis pro
viding that no persons shall be reinstat
ed who did not serve In the Confederate
army or who deserted.
The house spent the greater part of the
morning session in passing local bills,
the roll of counties being called for the
purpose of disposing of such measures.
In the neighborhood of 50 of these bills
were passed, some of the most important
