The following letter has been received from the
Insurance Commissioner of Alabama: •- -
“Subject to withdrawal as provided in Section 30
of the Workmen’s Compensation Act of Alabama,
approved August 23d, 1919,1 am handing you here
with rate sheet showing compensation insurance
rates for the State of Alabama as approved by the
Commissioner of Insurance, November 15th, 1919.”
—Signed, A. W. Briscoe, Commissioner of Insur
ance.
Coal mining risks have not yet been rated and
rates will not be promulgated until December 15th,
on which date the Commissioner of Insurance will
hold a conference with all insurance carriers in his
office in Montgomery, at which meeting coal mine
rates will be agreed upon.
Friends, don’t be misled by any one offering a‘
less rate either before or after inspection. All pol
icies must be written at state published rates. The
State Inspection and Rating Bureau will inspect •
your risk at the earliest possible moment and if
your rate is altered by inspection either one way
or other, same will be retroactive to original date
of your policy. All our compensation policies will
carry the following:

wards securing for Alabama a reasonable and fair.

City to Extend Formal

Gen. John J. Pershing will be extender!
a formal and official invitation to visit
Birmingham on his trip to Alabama when
the city commission is convened in spe
cial session today by Dr. N. A. Barrett,

Dr. Barrett was told last night of the

to Senator Bankhead in declining an invi

Birmingham that he had not received a

WOMEN SPEAK FOR
POLITICAL PARTIES
(Coathieed from Pag* Five)
to mothers and square pay for square
work.”
In her speech advocating republican
principles, Mrs. Bonelli said:
“The republican party is about as
popular in Alabama as the suffragists
10 years ago. I am more interested in
seeing the women do themselves credil
with their ballot than in strengthening
any political party.
“Women voters in New York have,
never voted a straight republican
ticket. We always scratched. But I
want to advise you women of Birming
ham to get. in on the ground floor of
politics. When you can deliver the
votes, then you'll count for something
in politics, and the formation of po
litical machinery.
OPPOSED TO STANDPATTERS
"While I am a republican, I don’t
want any rrfore Henry Cabot Lodges,
Elibu Roots and other party stand
patters. I certainly can not approve
of the stand-patters.
“You people in Alabama are not un
dergoing the tension that today exists
in New York, where our gravest con
cern is the menace of bolshevism.
Democrats and republicans are going
to join hands in battling this common
ennemy.
“While Tm ndt certain absolutely
what the republican party will stand
for in 1920,‘we need a change. The
democrats did their sfia.r& in the war
with republican co-operation, but now
we have a domestic disturbance before
us and the republican party should as
sume this new responsibility.
"•‘Another thing, let’s return all these
public utilities, seized during the war.
including, principally, the raiiroads
back to private ownership.’*
She criticized sharply the action of
the Alabama legislature in its consid
eration of suffrage.
“If you women of Alabama vote next
year it will be through the hands of a
republican Congress and by ratification
by. republican states. Let us rebuke
these democrats by voting the repub
lican ticket next year.”
CONDEMNS REPUBLICANS
Mrs. Jacobs presented, possibly, the
most partisan argument in her defense
qf the democratic party’s record and ar
rayed the republicans in condemnation
for their “failure after 40 years in pow
er even to submit (he suffrage ques
tion.”
“T have made sufficient research to
satisfr myself that the achievements of
the democratic party are greater than
its rival in the political arena,” she
said, “and. therefore. I am a democrat
“But the women of the south will not
be blindly partisain. They wi 1 not fol
low tradition simply becai/se it is tradi
tion.”
It was here that Mrs. Jacobs de
clared both great parties had merged
very similarly in their platform prin
ciples.
“The western women elected Presi
dent Wilson and a democratic Con
gress,” she said. “We women have be
lieved in the humanitarium legislation
of the democratic leaders. It really
is a party for the people.”
DEMOCRATIC RECORD GOOD
She told of the war orders effecting
an eight-hour day for the women, pro
hibition of night work, rest periods
and comforts created for these women
war workers. That the democrats had
prohibited labor by children under 14
years. She said the democratis party
was responisble for the child labor laws
and told of the public health service,
the department of labor, agricultural
extension, the workingman’s compensa
tion act, the federal reserve system and
other legislation under a democratic ad
ministration.
Under the financial legislation of the
democratic party, Mrs. Jacobs said,
there had not been a bank failure in
21 months, wMereas before the average
was one bank failure for every 21 days
Mr. Snell, Arlie Barger, Dr. H. A
Elkourie and several other men and
women joined in the open discussion.
Mr. Barber, incidentally, spoke on r
question off personal privilege, declar
ing “T will not stand for any citizen
in this community attempting to place
upon me the mark of, anarchy.”
The next open forum in the course in
citizenship will take place next Sat
urday afternoon at the suffrage head
quarters, 1818 Second avenue.

AUTHORIZE COAL
FOR MERCY HOME
Colonel Hutchens Recognized Neces
sity to Supply Institution and
Gives Permission to Pur
chase Supply
Because of the order of the fuel ad
ministration that all coal shipments orig
inating on the Frisco shall be sent to
the west regardless of the direction in
which it is billed by Che operators, sev
eral of the state institutions are faced
’with a cool famine. Mercy home at
East Iiake and a number of state insti
tutions at Montgomery are affected.
W. D. Nesbitt, chairman of the Btate
board of control and economy, the state’s
purchasing agent, called on CoL U E.
Hutchens, manager of the Birmingham
operating committee of the railroad ad
ministration, yesterday and appealed to
him for relief. Under the order of the
fuel administration the railroads are di
rected to confiscate all coal shipments
and to divert them to the five classes of
preferred consumers.
Colonel Hutchens recognised the neces
sity of providing the state’s institutions,
an4 especially the Merky home, with fuel,
and authorized Mr. Nesbitt to secure a
supply from vnines along the Ijouisville
* Nashville railroad and the Southern
railway.
It is not believed that deliveries under
the* new arrangements will be delayed
until the present supplies are exhausted.
J. H. Clark Says Wife Soon
Recovered Her Health by
Taking Tanlac
“Three weeks after my wife started
taking Tanlac she had gained 15 pounds
in weight," said J. H. Clark, a prosperous
farmer living at Conley, Ga.
"For three years,” he continued, •'her
health was so bad that she had no ap
petite. and she was all the time troubled
with indigestion, complaining of awful
pains in her stomach. After eating a
meal her food would sour and she would
swell up with gas till she would be mis
erable., She complained of backache and
a pain in her side, and she also suffered
from terrible headaches. Medicine didn t
seem to help her any, but I ’had been
reading so much about Tanlac that I de
cided to get some for her to try.
"Before her first bottle was more than
half gone I could see that she was much
better, and she kept right on improving
and gaining in every way. She can eat
anything she wants now, and it all agrees
with her. She never haR indigestion like
she did before, all those pains are gone
and I never hear her complain of any
thing. Tanlac brought my wife out iii a
hurry and rid her of her ailments, and
it is thp only medicine that did her any
good.’’

For the Good of
the Community
V
/\N December 31 the new ocean rates
from gulf ports to Central and South
American countries goes into effect.
In anticipation of greatly increased
traffic through these parts the United
States Shipping Board has allotted a
large number of ships to this service.
After that date there Will be more ships
carrying merchandise to and-from Mo
bile, New Orleans, Pensacola and other
ports akmg the Gulf of Mexico than ever
before in the history of this country. 6
*
It is said to be the policy of the United
States Shipping Board to divert a large
part of the export and import of the Mid
dle West from New York to the South At
lantic and gulf ports. There are two un
derlying causes for this new policy, it is
said. First, to relieve the congestion at
the New York docks; and, second, the
shorter rail haul to and, from the sea
board.
1
Exporters and importers m the larger
cities are already arranging to use the
new routes and it is predicted that jn a
very few years shipping through"”tbe
southern ports will equal that of the North
Atlantic ports. „ ,
Birmingham products intended forfhe
export trade naturally will pass out
through Mobile, New Orleans, Pensacola,
or some other southern port. , a
Foreign trade must be financed. UnP
less it is financed in Birmingham it will
be financed in New York or some other |
city. An exporting corporation in Bir- j
mingham would give a great impetus to |
Birmingham’s foreign trade, which in the
course of time will assume considerable t
proportions. The greater the local facil
ities for carrying through the necessary
details the greater will the business be.1
The federal government, through its
department of commerce, stands ready to
help develop and nourish foreign traded
It has had a special commissioner in Bir
mingham the past two or three weeks
studying conditions and trying to interest
Birmingham manufacturers and business
men in foreign trade.
This department has worked out plans
whereby information about foreign trade
✓ needs may be assembled in Washington
and distributed throughout the United
States through daily bulletins.
An export corporation in Birmingham
would get this information at the same
time it is given to other cities.
!
If an engine is wanted in Buenos Aires
it would be known in Birminghamtomor
row, and the* Birmingham engine maker
would have an equal chance with the
' makers in all other parts of the country,
and of other countries, to bid on it.
If there is no export corporation in Bir
mingham this information will not be
available to the Birmingham engine
maker until some time after his compet
itors get it. Hence, the Birmingham en
gine maker would be at a distinct disad
vantage.
(
Mr. Garrard Harris, trade commis
sioner of the United States Department of
Justice, who is making headquarters at
the Chamber of Commerce is here to ex
plain how these export corporations may
be organized and conducted and aided
by the federal government.
