Mr. lhlder left last night for a trip

Hr MRS. J. B. REID
There was a final meeting of the com
mittee on arrangements for the Redpath
Chautauqua, held in the directors’ room
of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
morning. The Chautauqua begins at
Hast park on May 20, and the most im
portant work just now before the com
mittee is to reach the people by the
best methods of advertising. With this
in view conspicuous cards will be placed
on all street cars traversing the dif
ferent sections of the city. Business
hfuses will he asked to place them on
their trucks and delivery wagons, while
individuals are asked to volunteer to as
sist with their machines bearing a re
minder of this opporfunity for hearing
the programme that is composed of the
best talent to be secured. The fund for
charity to accrue from this arrangement
to bring an annual Chautauqua to the
people, is an incidental feature. The real
purpose is to give to the people the
opportunity of this intellectual enter
tainment. stimulating a general demand
for good lectures among the populace
of the city, and those of surrounding
towns.
Tickets will be placed on sale at the
Cable-Burton-Shelby Piano company,
Loveman. Joseph & Loeb's. anM Ca
heen's. and can be purchased for the
season, or by the one attendance, though

woman who seemed weary of doing
This is an evidence of her growth and
prosperity—whenever the time comes
when a city full of live people stops
right still, then you may know it is
physically and spiritually dead.
looking back over the little town that
started on a small portion of what is Bir
mingham today, as far back as the early
seventies, we can remember when only a
handful of people were stirring and striv
ing; if they had faltered there would have
been no Birmingham today. In 1873. when
cholera broke out. and the ill and dying
were leaving the ranks, others flying to
different sections for safety, the little
handful kept on working, and this spirit
was given to succeeding citizens, until no
other spirit lives in Birmingham. The de
sire to bring to her the best in every ac
tion of life is the power that has brought
out of the fields works of Jefferson county,
the Greater Birmingham that has kept
the world’s eye directed to Alabama, the
south's soil of possibilities. These suc
cesses have opened her avenues of indus
try of progress, and wealth and now the
people are demanding broader thought,
public education, and are working out the j
possibilities. An annual Chautauqua Is a
stimulant, a needed one .an advantage to
any city and all of Birmingham is ready
for it. Whatever the people demand W’ill
follow, and the Chautauqua is an annual
event, beginning this year May 20.

“There are by far too many apartments
being built in Birmingham. They are.
as a rule .occupied by couples without
children and single persons. Birmingham
has a plentiful supply of apartments at
this time, and I think there should be a
cessation of such construction in this
community. Birmingham being new. can
set a better standard in housing conditions
than many cities by reason of the fact
that this city is young and has not made
many grave errors. The city has done
pretty well so far. hut if the tendency
to build low houses and have a common
water supply for several houses is con
tinued the situation here will not be very
attractive.
“I would strongly recommend the enact
ment of a building code to take care of
your development In this way you will |
(eliminate the possible errors, and thereby |
: aleviate the future need for legislation.”
There will be no session of the Sociolog
ical congress today. The members of th*
congress will spend tlie day inspecting
the Mercy Home, t lie Boys’ Industrial
school and other institutions here that are
working along the lines interesting to the
congress members. The session yesterday
was devoted to the discussion of tuber
culosis. Dr. Eaves was chairman. The
speakers included Dr. Hogan, Dr. Yar
brough. Dr. Lull, Dr. Wyman. Dr. R. M.
Cunningham and others. The night session
was devoted to the election of officers. The
congress has concluded its sessions in

WHAT THE WAR IS
COSTING ENGLAND
(Conttnn*<l from Page One)
liquor in the areas where munitions of
war are made.
The general impression in the lobby
after Mr. Lloyd-George- had delivered his
speech was that the proposed new' taxes
on wines, beers and spirits either will be
withdrawn or greatly modified, for, above
all things, the government desires unan
imity.
The chancellor’s speech was taken to in
dicate that at some future date Mr. Lloyd
George w'ould propose a huge loan to
finance the war for a further period of
from six to 12 months. His statement that
* the savings of the country must be relied
upon to provide the necessary funds was
presumed to forecast that there would be
either a bigger income tax and a uni
versal application of that tax, or that
special inducements would be held out
for the investment of the nation's savings
in a loan.
Comparing the financial problems of
Great Britain and Germany. Mr. Lloyd*
George in his speech remarked that while
British imports had increased enormously
and exports had decreased considerably,
both the exporta and imports of Ger
many had been cut off by the British
navy.
From the point of view of a war min
ister, Mr. Lloyd-George added this made
Great Britain better off. but from the
point of view of a finance minister her
position was more difficult. In the or
dinary year, the chancellor continued,
British imports ranged $*>50,000,000 above
exports, but this year they would be
$-.240,000 exclusive of government pur
chases.
Regarding Recruiting
Referring to the question of di^rim
ination in recruiting, the chancellor said
he thought the allies ought to determine
the part. Great Britain should play in
the combination and the best service she
could render. She could, he declared,
keep command of the sea. and that was
a valuable service she had rendered the
allies, which was essential to their ulti
mate success, especially if the war were
prolonged. She could maintain a great
army on a continental scale, he contin
ued. and a third service was one she
had rendered in the Napoleonic days—
bearing the main burden of financing the
allies.
Great Britain, said Mr. Lloyd-George,
[ could do the first and third of these
things, but the second she could do only
within certain limits. She had raised
an enormous army, but the time had
come for discriminating in recruiting
within suggested limits. However, there
was a great boom for recruiting.
The chancellor then caused a smile ol
relief by announcing that there would
be no fresh taxation. He said he would
confine himself at present to asking the
house to renew the income tax on the
scale announced in November, but with
some modification, if. however, the wai
was prolonged, the chancellor added, it
would he the duty of the house to con
sider what other contribution the com
munity could make and in what othei
form to enable Great Britain to earn
on the war.
“It is vital for the successful conduct
of the war, and to help finance the
allies, that our national savings should
increase.” the chancellor said.
CRITICIZES PLAN OF 1
PAYING PULLMAN!

• . . I
Robert T. Lincoln Appears
Before Industrial Commis
sion at Washington—Says
the System Is Antiquated
Washington. May 4.—Robert T. Lincoln. !
chairman of the board of directors of the j
Pullman company, frankly told the United
States commission on industrial relations
here today that he believed the system
of paying sleeping car porters should be •
changed, and that wages of Pullman car
conductors should be increased. Both
of these subjects, he said, would be taken
up by the company's directors in the near
future.
The son of President Lincoln freely dis
cussed the subject of tips upon which ne
gro porters are compelled to rely for a
livink. He insisted, however, that em
ployment^fforded the negro by the Pull
man company has been one of the most 1
uplifting opportunities the race has had.
Wrhile declaring his belief that tipping
of Pullman porters by the public would
continue even if the meagre salary of
$27.50 a month were increased, Mr. Lincoln
admitted that the wage system for porters
was antiquated and had given him consid
erable annoyance.
The commission today also began in
quiry into the conditions of railroad teleg
raphers, and shop men employed by tl|e
Pennsylvania Railroad company. H. B.
Perham, president of the Order of Rail
road Telegraphers submitted charges
against the railroad company on behalf of
the workmen, charging that the com
pany declined to recognize their unions,
assumed an attitude of arrogance and did
everything in its power to break up ex
isting unions and prevent organization
of others.
Officials of the Pennsylvania railroad
will be heard on these complaints to
morrow.
Mr. Perham declared that efforts by
the unions to negotiate working Agree
ments were fruitless, that active union
men often were discharged and tha‘ the
(Pennsylvania maintade the "most ef
fective spy system in the world."
The witness said the Pennsylvania did
not pay its telegraphers "a living wage."
Another complaint was that the Penn
sylvania "fosters and maintains sham
unions" in its fight against the bona
fide organizations of its employes. One
of these unions was known os the Broth
erhood of Railway Mechanics, he said,
charging that it was "maintained solely
to control the company’s employes, pre
venting them from striking and assem
bling for meetings and other purpose?
Inimicable to the trade union move
ment.”
The labor organizations promoted by
the railroad he characterized as "sham
organizations.” The voluntary relief as
sociation of the railroad company, lit
said, was not "voluntary,” and he al
leged that "conditions of the workmei
are so tense that they do not live long
enough to draw any superannuation pay
provided for in the rules of the associa

Formal Request Made to the
Commission by Directors
of Associated Charities
A formal request that the city take;
over the Associated Charities was yes
terday made by a committee from the
board of directors o fthat organization
which appeared before the city commis
sion.
The committee was composed of H.
Key Milner. Robert Jemison, George G.
Crawford and L. Sevier. The reason that
the city take over the association, as
advanced by the committee, was because
it was without sufficient funds to op
erate.
Speeches were made by all members
of the committee, each stressing ‘the
much good work” that has been done
by the association in Birinnigham. They
stated the present board of directors
would be glad to aid the city in its ,
conduct of tlie organization in every
way possible. It was suggested that
should any legal banters arise to the
consolidation of the association as one
of the departments of the city that such
could be remedied by the present ses
sion of the legislature.
The commissioners stated that they
understood the board of public welfare
was now considering a plan for the con
solidation of tlie Associated Charities
witli the city and that a report from it
would be awaited before any action
is taken.

HENDERSON NAMES SUNDAY,
MAY NINTH, “MOTHERS’ DAY”
Montgomery, May 4.—(Special.)— Gov
ernor Henderson today issued a procla
mation designating Sunday, May !), as
Mother's Day, and called upon all Ala
bamians "to celebrate it as appreciative
citizens of a great commonwealth and
as loyal Americans.”
"American mothers are the finest
products tif our civilization and as such
are the beacon lights of the world,” said
the governor. “We are at peace today,
because out of the fullness of life has
come the manly virtues and womanly
charms that have given to our sons and
daughters tin*, vision of a newer race
saved by charity, redeemed by broth
erhood, and sanctified by benevolence.”
Following is Ids proclamation:
"Whether the name of mother be
shouted from the hill tops, whispered
among the caves, or proclaimed in the
marts of trade, It. carries with it the
consciousness of abounding Joys and the
| sweep of blessed memories, nuchal
i lenged by circumstances and unabated
by time. To think of her is to be better
I and stronger, to praise her is to he just
land true, and to love her is to be na
tural and secure.
"In setting apart a special day to be
known as Mother's Day we do homage
to one whose silent strength Is the na
tion's surest source of justice, freedom
and truth.
At Peace 'Poday
American mothers are Hie finest pro
ducts of our civilization and us such
are the beacon lights of the world. We
are at peace today, because out of the
lullness of her life has come the man
ly virtues and womanly charms tnat
have given to our sons and daughters
the vision of a newer race saved by
charity, redeemed by brotherhood a»»tl
sanctioned by benevolence.
We can have no greater patriots in
Alabama than those strong men and
women who remember in love and af
fection the noble virtues of their moth
ers and determine to protect and chei
isn them with courage and devotion.
We can have no safer guarantee for
future prosperity and happiness than
to teach the children of our stub- that
our homes are the genuine citadels of
our liberties and that the unselfish love
of motherhood is the crowning glory of
human achievement.
As chief executive I hereby commend
the beautiful custom of paying just
and loving tribute to the mothers of
Alabama. Let us shower upon them
fondest recollections, letters of grat
itude, kisses of devotion and flowers
of affect ion. Let the fragrance of thf*
carnation and llie White rone aptak of
her love, let their form remind ns of |
In !• beauty, and let their wide Meld of
growth aymbollze her eweet Charity.
