J|TNEY DRIVERS
ENTER PROTEST
Resolutions Against Pro-
posed Bonding Bill Passed
by Operators

The titney drivers of Birmingham
adopted resolutions protesting agains.
the proposed bill introduced in the leg
islature by Representative Hawkins of
jefferson county, compelling jitney
operators to furnish heavy bond to
indemnify accident victims. This ac-
ton was taken following a meeting of
about 80 Itneurs yesterday morning
at Whites garage on Twenty-th!rd
street
It is probable that a delegation will
drivers to protest against the measure
and Jefferson county Representatives
will be asked to lead the fight of the
opposition. 1t is stated that James
Weatherly, former city commissioner,
is in the capital city and will repre-
sent the jitney drivers side of the case
This bill was introduced last week
and provided for a heavy bond by all
jitney drivers in order that persons
injured in jitney accidents may have
compensation for injuries received.
This bill is pronounced by jitney men
as class Legislation and against their
interests. 1t was stated that the bond
required would cost approximately $500
a year and this would force many mon
out of business entirely, it was stated.
The increased cost of operation was
also pointed out and several repre-
sentative operators declared an addi-
tional tax would force many of the
smaller operators into bankruptcy.
According to the jitney men, the prin-
cipa1 argument used in favor of the
bill in Montgomery was to protect the
safety of the pedestrians, and it was
stated at the meeting that the jitney
drivers were "the safest drivers on the
street"
Several of the jitney men have ex-
pressed the opinion that the bonding
bill is being backed by transportation
interests in an effort to hurt the jit-
new b11siness

department and police department. The
public will get the foods at exactly
what they cost the government plus
the freight to Birmingham from the
warehouses.
.Itzis expected that there will be no
more sales of surplus food supplies
here in the manner that will be used
Thursday. on account of the action of
officials in Washington, who propose
to distribute the supplies through the
postoffice department from Washing
ton. However, this is not yet cer-
tain. as no definite ruling as to wheth-
err or not it will be possible to get
more supplies here in bulk has not
been received.
Efforts have been made by the city
to have all of these surplus supplies
sent to Birmingham to be sold to the
pople here. 1t is estimated that great
avings will be made to the public.

BOLSHEVISM ISSUE
in FRENCH ELECTION
American Business Anxiously
Awaits Outcome of Crit
ical Campaign.

PARIS, Nov. 14.-The most critical
political campaign in French history
will close tomorrow night Bolshe-
vism is big issue. and today it was
impossible to foretel what the result
would be.
The suspension of newspapers by
the printers strike on the eve Of the
election leaves Paris almost without
political news except for posters and
socialist organs.
Voting will begin early Sunday, but
it probably will be midday Monday
before the returns are in.
The candidates of the moderate
government group have made their
principal slogan: Down with Bolshe-
yism."
On the other hand, the unified So
cialists, the most radical element, are
outspoken sympathizers with the Boil
sheviks and are savagely attacking
the moderates in posters and speeches.
Both the moderatess and radicals
are claiming a majority in the cham
ber of deputies but the royalists and
conservatives are working quietly, and
are making no claims at all
1t is generally believed by the gen
eral public that the moderates will
win. although the silent" soldier vote
is a big factor.
American business interests are
eagerly awaiting the result because
of the possible effect IL may have on
future tariff legislation in parliament

NEW ENGLAND TO
. FIGHT JAZZ STYLES

L.ACONIA. n. H, Nov. IA drive
against the extreme styles of women's
dresses launched at a meeting of the
State branch of the w. G. T. u, has
been taken up all over New Hamp-
shire.
1T is an anti-bare-back campaign"
one leading club woman said.
The latest models have absolutely
no covering for the back, not even
the tights that a circus rider has"
The w. c. T. U. opened the drive
by passing this resolution:
Resolved, That we deplore the ex-
treme styles of dress adopted by
many of our women, which in too
many cases borders on the immodest
exposure of the person, and we ap-
peal to all to set an example in this
prospect which may be safely fol-
lowed by our girls for their own pro-
lection"
"The principle that the pure minded
will go straight, as the barbarian does
is not enough" says DR.. Mary 8. Dan
forth, prominent New Hampshire
woman. The principle of right must
be added to it. The wholesale dealers
have been aghast at what has been
forced upon their buyers as Paris
styles. They are contrary to good
ntdllH dS well as iuOEdls. Every new
Englander ought to be against them
for that reason.
High heels, which shattered the
osseous system, were bad enough, but
these bare backs are especially ca
lamitous to the respiratory organs
The lungs must suffer-"
DR.. Danforth feels that II lowers
morality, but as a physician she looks
upon the health proposition as all
important.
Mrs. Ida Plumley Bartlett, president
of the w. c. T. u. said:
81 indorse the sentiment thoroughly
1t is with a feeling of shame that ]

chester wearing skirts so short that
their stockings are exposed to public
gaze.
Mrs. ]. Adam Graf, who is sternly
opposed to laxity in matters affecting
morality, said:
THE way women dress is ridiculous
They have carried things too far. Up
to certain degree it is all right, but
beyond that point it is all wrong ]
fully indorse the resolution 1 helped
to pass at Laconia."
