 The Big Companies Compromise
 The big Tennessee and Sloss companies were to have been put on the gridiron in the afternoon. Attorney Walker Percy of the former and Attorneys Tillman & Campbell for the latter have been watch ing the show for a week. They have been nervous and shy. They have thought in chunks and dreamed of what Matador cabaniss was going to do to them. They have seen his keen and wicked sword enter the bowels of their comrades. They have watched Bob Jemison being roasted on the gridiron in the morning, and they prompt ly chased about to make friends with the enemy and compromise. Matador Cabaniss sheathed his sword to talk. MT. Percy gently put an arm about his willowy waist and MT. Campbell entwined his neck in the graceful folds of his velvet touch. Both attorneys looked love into the royal liquid blue eyes of the erect Matador and he fell prone in the midst of their love songs. The music of their voices had the charms nec- essary to soothe the savage breasts and blot from his vision the wish and desire of more ensanguined conquests.
 "You love us," passionately said Percy.
 And me, too," lovingly ianguished Campbell.
 "Y-e-s."
 That settled it. The Tennessee company was raised s1,OOO,OOO, making the total as- sessment $S 900. The Sloss company was raised s44s,605, making a total assessment of $1,OOo,OO0
 The Woodward and Republic Steel and Iron cases were compromised later in the evening. The Woodward was raised to a total assessment of s475,OOO, and the Repub- lie Steel and Iron, which includes the Pioneer and the two rolling mills, to to- tai of s6GO,OOO
