WAsHINGroN, Sept. ll.--Unless the con-
ference committee OF the Senate and House
at work on the Clayton antitrust bill
reconslders its action the Senate amend
ment relating to the exemption Of labor
organizations and limiting injunctions
against labor organizations will go into
the law The effect will be to Iegalise
peaceful picketing."
Up to this time the Senate has had its
way absolutely as to the amendments
affecting labor and injunctions. The Ian
guage exempting labor unions and agri-
cultural or horticultural organizations
from prosecution under the Sherman anti
trust law. is contained in section seven
and the section will read as follows:
The labor OF human being is not
"a commodity or article OF commerce,
and nothing contained In the anti
trust laws shall he construed to for
bid the existence and operation OF
labor, agricultural or horticultural Or
ganizations. Instituted for the pur-
poses of mutual help. and not having
capital stock or conducted for profit,
or to- forbid or restrain individual
members of such organizations from
lawfully carrying out tho legitimate
objects thereof nor shall such organi-
zations or the members thereof be held
or construed to be- illegal combinations
or conspracioS IN restraint OF trade,
under the antitrust laws
word Lawfully Inserted.
The Senate struck from the exempted
ORGANIZATIONS "fraternal" and consumers
and orders or associations" and inserted
IN the language OF the section as 1t came
from the House the word lawfully" imme-
diately preceding the language, carrying
out the legitimate objects thereof
The language which legalizes peace
ful picketing' was in the bill as 1t came
from the House. The senate Committee

WAsHiNGToN. sept l2--Conferees rep
resenting the senate and the House. in
an effort to compose differences on the
Clayton antitrust bill. have been some
what exercised over a Senate amendment
which appears in the bill as new sec
ton and which was adopted without de-
bate or explanation on the motion of
senator Chiffon OF West Virginia The
amendment is as follows:
Section 26 1t shall he unlawful
for any corporation engaged in com
mcrce to do any business in any
State contrary TO the laws of the
State under which that corporation
was created. or contrary to the laws
of the state In which II may be do
ing business. The District Of Co
lumbia shall I've deemed a state with
In the meaning Of this section.
As soon as the character OF this amend
ment became known II was recognized
that It would have the effect OF preventing
shipments of liquor in interstate COM
merce into prohibition States. This alone
started a violent oppost ton from the anti
prohibition element and pressure IL being
brought to bear on the conierees to strike
II from the bill.
1t Is admitted by the lawyers OF the
Senate and House that the new section
would undoubtedly strengthen the Webb
Kenyon law. which was designed to put
stop to the shipment Of liquors into
prohibition States
Speculation ON the Eject.
There is much speculation as TO what
effect this language will have on common
carriers ~ Interstate commerce which
may refuse to yield TO some OF the vexa-
tious state laws and which seek to re-
sist them In the courts
Behind all OF the discussion there has
been also u natural curiosity to ind out
what the mpellng motive was behind the

Montgomery. July 20.-(special) Owing to misrepresentation of facts under which his arrest and return to Florida were sought the governor to- day revoked the requisition previously granted of Gov. Park Trammen of Florida for l.. E. dcDaniel. who was charged with having passed a worth less check.

COWART TALKS OF PLAN FOR DISPLAY
 AT PANAMA FAIR
Two Schemes Are to Be Worked Which It Is Hoped Will Bring
 in $100,000

Lee Cowart, immigration commissioner, has already in hand the sum of ss0000 with which to advertise Alabama in San Frar cisco during the Pan-American ex- position MT. Cowart. who spent yester- day in Birmingham, was most sanguine in his belief that before he has finished his work. he will have collected a sum as large as $l00.ooo
 '1 have two plans on foot" said the con missioner. t'The first Is the sale oc bronze dollars for s1 each. Forty thou- sand of these dollars are now being manufactured. The governor will issue 8 strong statement calling attention to tho net essity that Alabama be properly rep- resented to the crowds at San Francisco. and l confidently believe that we will sell everyone of these badges. This will net another A0,0O0.
 And we have contracted with mov- ing picture manufacturing concern to make a reel of 10000 feet to be shown at the exposition. We will sell this reel at 30 the foot. We figure that this will be such an excellent advertisement and such a cheap advertisAment--for the reel will be shown every day for 10 months to
 
 we will have no trouble in selling it. Every city in Alabama should be repre- scented on the reel. For this work we will pay the moving picture makers s1 foot. We should clear slo,O0o in this way
 ''As result. we will have on hand the sum of $10oo0o. Alabama will have n building, and everything made in Ala bama or mined in Alabama will be there- in displayed. We are planning to tako Vulcan to the fair When the iron man is placed upon pede ,tal high enough to make his parts properly conform. he will serve as a better advertisement than any other one thing'
 MT. Ccwart stated that the bronze dol- lar badges will be put on sale today or tomorrow. and that the film company will be ready to begin making the l0.- Oao foot reel by the beginning of next week.

 MT. Griffith was here to look over the general passenger situation and to confer with local men on business mat ters. He said that the lines operating dented volume of business to the west ern coast during the next few months. The business will be created by the ex- position to be held in California cele- brating the opening of the Panama ca nal which is generally expected to be the most largely attended and the most successful of expositions in this coun- try
 Birmingham is too swift for me-" said MT. Griffith. q left here it seems only a short while ago. In that time however, Birmingham has done more work along progressive lines than any city can recall at this time. Not only have you erected new and elegant buildings here, but the cooperative spirit which Is so necessary in any community. has grown here and found expression faster than any community now that I can recall.
 'The Jefferson County bank building, the Tutwiler hotel and the magnificent press club are three institutions that every citizen of this community has reason to be very proud of. hear the hotel discussed in all parts of the country and 1t will do more to assist on her progressive march than any one thing that could be done for this community"

ident of Birmingham coilese, were speakers during tn session. Each of the college presidents urged the neees- sity of a thorough investigation as to the feasibility of the project the point being tSken that it would never do for the cen tral committee to go off half cooked '
 ''The difference between a denomination al school and an independent institution is that the denominational school has as many lives as a cat said pr, Simp- son. When hard times come the de- nominational school can fall back upon the denominations for it's support The independent institution is different. There fore we should go thoroughly into this matter before taking the first steps to- wards securing a fund for it's estab- lishment
 T am heartily in favor of the school I have been thinking a whole lot about it since last Thursday, and the more l think of it the more 1t appeals to me- We have often talked of it among the men at the head of Birmingham college and however it is decided to be estab- lished. you may be sure you have our sympathy and our cooperation"
 R. $. Munger, chairman of the board of trustees of Birmingham college, in his official capacity. offered thanks to the Chamber of Commerce., the mem bers of the central committee. the can wasting teams and the city for the en- thusiasm shown in the fight to get d fund of s1.O00.oo0 for bringing the Methodist university to this city.
 There was spirit of enthusiasm prevalent at the meeting and it was evident that everyone present was believer in the proposal to have in Birmingham a Birmingham technolog- ical school This proposal first was made by Robert Jemison. Jr.. in At lanta last week, where he had gone as a member of the Birmingham party to bring back the Methodist university Mr. Jemison made his proposal before the educational commission of the Methodist church had announced it's decision and it was thought signifi- cant at the time, because the Meth odist university city was not then known.

ID MEET THURSDAY
 ID DISCUSS RAISE Board of Trade Will Hear Report of Insurance
 Committee Then

The Board of Trade will have a gen. eral meeting probably Thursday, the exact hour to be announced later. for the pur- pose of acting on a report to be sub mitted to the insurance committee re- garding the recent action of the South eastern Underwriters association in in- creasing fire insurance rates here by 10 per cent The insurance committee, of which A. w. B. Johnson is chairman, met yesterday afternoon and had quite a discussion. The committee will meet again tomorrow and formulate a report.
 Members of the board feel that Bir- mingham has been sighted because this city was not notified of impending action as to fire insurance rates. The fact that Birmingham has taken many precaution- ary measuresHand has succeeded in ma terially reducing the fire hazard is re- garded as sufficient cause for the rates to remain at the former figure. The Bir- mingham fire department is considered one of the finest in the country, the horse being eliminated as an assistant in fire fighting, and automobile trucks be. ing exclusively used.
 President Ewing of the Board of Trade and President George B. Ward of the city commission both have wired Presi- dent Clarence J. Low of the underwriters association. asking him to suspend action on the increase until civic bodies here can confer with the Southeastern asso- citation. The civic bodies stand ready to do anything within reason that may be complained of, but the opinion prevails that Birmingham is being discrimnated against. Another thing that causes un- favorable comment was the action of the underwriters In keeping the proposed in- crease in rates a secret
