ONTGOMERY, February &-Spe- M cial)-After four years of hard " fighting the friends of text book uniformity in Alabama won brilliant victory today The Johnston bill passed the house by the handsome vote of 6S to 2O
 The fight was not won with ease, how ever. The opponents of the measure, led bv MT. Arnold of Calhoun. MT. Callahan of Morgan and MT. DuBose of Jefferson, made a game fight. and they undertook all possible filibuster tactics to prevent the measure from reaching final vote. They were in a hopeless minority, now ever. and the majority, led by Felix Rlaekburn of Jefferson, Alex T. London os TeAferson. Thach of Limestone Lusk of Marshal and Bankhead of Walker carried things pretty much as they pleased.

 Reported Adversely.
 The committee then reported the bill adversely and another good rule of the house-providing that a majority vote can take A bill from the adverse calendar and consider it in the committee of the whole-was necessary to get the measure nroperly before the house. There was never a vote taken, however, when the friends of state uniformity needed votes, and seeing the dilatory tactics of their opponents the supporters of the smeas- ure permitted little filibuster. They al- lowed just enough of talk to appear cour- teous, and whenever they became weary of the discussion they fixed time Tor vote.
 The bill had its smoothest sailing while hefore the house this morning Several members had some amendments to of- fer. but there was but a single one that co,lld command majority vote, and this was an agreed amendment. It was offer cd bv MT. Rich of Mobile, and added this sentence to section one of the senate bill:
