SHAPIRO TALKS ON
LOAN SHARK" BILL
Says 1t Has Been Favorably Reported
and Will Most Likely Be
Passed by House

lsadore Shapiro returned to the city
last night from Montgomery we'll pleased
with the progress of his loan shark
bill. Representative Shapiro stated that
his bill would pass the house by a sub
stantial majority. Mr.. Shapiro will be
in Birmingham until Monday.
Despite the powerful lobby working
against the loan shark BILL" said Repre-

by a substantial majority, l am sure
How the bill will fare in the senate can

1T was suggested to Representative

weapons found on arrested persons Mr.
Shapiro assented readily to this and stat
ed that he was preparing such bill
"A drastic pistol toters' bill will be

ACTION
ON CHILD LABOR BILL
Business Justice" Rather
Than Sentiment Likely
to Predominant
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

montgomery, January 29.-(Special.)-A
ton regarding the child labor bill has
been postponed. The prediction is gen.
eral that the committee will either amend
the bill as it was originally drawn, or
grant the petition of the cotton mill oper-
ators that their plants be visited and a
verdict rendered in accordance with "busi-
ness justice" rather than sentiment.
As reported in The Age-Herald of this
morning last night the case was put d.
rect before joint committees by the clev-
crest debaters which the contending
forces could produce. The supporters of
the child labor bill had struggled with
the members for 10 days or more and
had made Roadway. Nevertheless, there il
no gainsaying the fact that the opera
tors, through their presentation of the
case, made . distinctly favorably impress
sion.
The operators who are or have been
on the scene are among the best known
men of the state. Notable among them
We're ex-Gov. B. B. Conner and Donald
Conner, who have mills in Avondale and
sylacauga; T. II. Rennie of Pell City.
Scott Roberts of Admission, Scott Maxwell
of Cordova, Dave Goodwin of Selma
Joseph j. Bradley of Huntsville and
others.
The contention of these operators Vas
that with weekly working hours limited
to As and So hours Alabama mills could
not successfully compete with Georgia
mills working SO hours a week. They
made no objection to increasing the age
limit this year to 10 years and next year
to IA years. Regarding the contention of
the advocates of the bill that conditions
are horrible and that the effect on the
human system is distressing in THAT it
renders individuals infirm in body and
soul, the operators entered simple de-
NAL.
Come to our plants" read the general
invitation, land see for yourselves We
have sanitary buildings for working and
living. We have Fairgrounds, schools,
churches, gymnasiums, baths and mo-
ton picture shows. We have working
forces which are happy and prosperous
and healthy.
fore you render a verdict based on SEN
timent, pure and simple, permit us to
bring operatives to Montgomery. We
simply want justice-a verdict rendered
after consderat ton of business as well
as sentiment"
In the event that the contemplated re-
cess Is taken. it is believed that action
regarding the cotton mills will be post
poned, and during the recess an investi-
cation made in order that the child labor
problem of Alabama might be settled per-
manenty.
