ORAL ARGUMENT IN
 HARVESTER CASE

Washington. April S.-Oral argument of the antitrust suit against the lnterna- tional Harvester company was heard again today in the supreme court, At torney General Gregory and Solicitor Gen eral Davis appearing for the government and Edgar A. Bancroft and John P. Will son for the. defendant company.
 The power arising from the preponder- ant position of the harvester company at tained by alleged illegal combination, and the elimination of competition among the combining manufacturers were urged by the government as demanding dissolution of the company.
 ''The charge of re-eminence has been sustained, but the charge of monopoly and oppression has wholly failed'' de- clared MT. Bancroft.
 In reply MT. Davis said the harvester company would strike from the Sherman law it's social and political significance and restrict its economic effect to a pro. hibition against raising prices.
 Its attorneys forget" he said, that the sherman law was passed because kings were being set up to rule the country's commerce."

 He delivered one of the most brilliant addresses on municipal government and citizenship in general and the proposed bond issue in particular that has been heard in Birmingham in a long time. Whether or not the people of East Lake are for the bond issue, they demonstrated that there was nc shadow of a doubt but what they are flor Weatherly.'
 And that they'll roll up also a good majority for the bond issue of $l 250,0 GOO al the polls next Monday now seems as- shred.
 At the Woodlawn city hall last night speeches in behalf of the bond issue were made by Campaign Manager Sydney !. Bowie, Dr. R. M. Cunningham and John w. Sbley.
 At Gate City good crowd was ad- dressed by Monte Ullman and J. B.. Woods Tonight the speaking campaign in behalf of the bond issue will come to close and it is being generally predicted that the issue will carry by three to one majority.
 This old world since the time of Christ has rolled along and developed and made progress on the shoulders of the men who construct, the men who are optimists the men who work for their brothers in- stead of for themselves" declared Com missioner Weatherly at East Lake, where crowd of over q hundred men greeted him.

 "The trouble with the great part of the people of Birmingham today is they dc not know what they've got here. I'm going to give you running commentary on Greater Birmingham.
 When the legislature passed the Greater Birmingham act they gave a year for it to go into effect. In that year the different suburbs decided to make a lot of improvements and when they came into the greater city they dumped onto it all of that newly made debt Then a man whose name I will not mention went down to the legislature and had passed a bill making the general fund of the greater city responsible for all of this enormous debt, and after 13 months of aldermanic government the commission form of gov ernment came into office and found a deficit of $1, 300 900.
