Earnest Good Road Promoters


 'The advocates of good roads that as- sembled in Birmingham to attend the an- nual meeting of the United States Good 1 roads association Qnc), formed and en- thusiastic set and evidently came to transact business, as there were no long winded speeches or dissertation on good roads," said John w. O'Neill, vice pres ident of the United States Good Roads association.
 'The meeting went on record as favor- ing a liberal appropriation for the build ing of roads before Congress started to making the tremendous appropriation for the preparedness programme that is pro- posed. The association mapped out splen- did plans for increasing it's usefulness by electing life members in the various states. Those that are so fortunate to be thus honored are to be congratulated, as they will have all the privileges and benefits of the organization for life These life members will form the great advisory council of the organization.
 "The association has officers and mem bers in 25 or more states in the union, and with the active campaign that was inaugurated at this meeting it is quite certain that at the next annual meeting a majority of the states, if not all, will be represented.
 Invitations to hold a great good roads congress during the year have been re- ceived from six of the leading cities of this country. These invitations were referred to the board of directors to act upon. The executive officers and the 25 directors that were chosen are live bunch of good roads boosters, and it is freely predicted that they will make a great record in the good roads movement during the year,

"The Arion club concert at the Jef- ferson theatre next Friday night promises to be an unusually attractive event" said Oliver ChalifouX. 'Few cities can boast of finer male chorus than we have here in the Arion club and it is in particularly good form this season.

Coppers In Demand.

The following analysis OF the New Yorl:
market situation was received yester-
day by ". B. Hibbs Co. from Logan g.
Bryan, their New York correspondents:
The market was quite active today
under the leadership of U. S. S. common
and other industr!als, the railroad list
seemingly marking time and apparently
awaiting further developments at WASH
ington in the labor embroglio. During
the afternoon trading was curtailed and
there was considerable selling OF a profit
taking nature in evidence.
I'm the late trading, however, the cop
pers which have been slow to appreciate
the improvement in demand for the metal.
became the center of activity and under
the leadership OF Anaconda, which sold
at a new high for the movement, the
Coppers were all in demand. The steel
and copper shares in particular show a
desire to follow the favorable develop
ments in their trade circles, and are in
Clined TO move indepe ndent OF the rail-
roads. The rail list appeared to be un-
der pressure, and the unsettled railroad
controversy at Washington is still a fac
tor"

RAILROAD STOCK
FEELS NET LOSS
Industrials Are Booming, but
"Railer" List Is Weak as
Crisis Nears.
CBy the International News service.)


New York, Aug. 17.-RsIlroad presidents
went sulking to Washington this after
noon, expecting that President Wilson
would attempt to club them into giving
an eight-hour day to the men without
arbitration. Some of them started by
way OF Wall Street. What they did there
in the brief time before parting may
have been reflected in the railroad list,
which closed with net losses in spite
Of the fact that the industrials were
booming as they had not doomed for
a year.
These railroad presidents say they will
not give in, although they will listen
respectfully to all the President has to
say. One OF them, who is at the head
of perhaps the greatest railroad system
in the world. said:
While I can not believe the men will
actually call a strike" he said as he de-
parted, 1T will look more like a strike
tomorrow than it has at any time since
this controversy began. We have reach
ed the absolute crisis in railroad man
agement. We are going to find out who
Is operating the roads, anyhow. 1t is
because we recognize the extreme serious
ness Of the situation that We think that
this time must be the last time the Ques-
tion can be raised"
Much selling was induIged throughout
the afternoon by bankers having init
mate relations with railroad presidents
and chairmen OF boards
Action Of Steel whiSh moved today to
a new high record of % 1-2, is sugges-

went into the SOS. At that time those
who were waiting for a reaction got
no chance to purchase because the stock
did not sell back to the price of the
particular day for about a month. Now,
as then steel is being handled by the
