SHIPPING STRIKE
 IS UNSANCT|ONED.
 LEADER DECLARES
Wharf Workers Ordered to Return, While Shipyard Strike Is Continuing
 to Spread
By Assooiatsd Press

New York, October 1.-The action of the 1o,e00 longshoremen, who with tugboat- n1en and shipyard workers, went on strike here today, was "unsanctioned" and the wharf workers have been ordered ba'k to work, President John F. Riley, presi- dent of the International Longshoremen's associations, announced tonight.
 The strike of the shipysrd workers, on the other hand. has spread, and it was learned tonight that ten more companies became affected during the day, when 16o0 members of the local river front and marine workers association and the local ship scalers' union quit work.
 The action of the longshoremen, who stopped work without waiting for the re- suits of deliberations of the national ad- justment commission now in progrtss here. which was instituted by joint agree nent of the steamship companies and the longshoremen, was characterized by NIT. Riley as premature, unwarranted and unsanctioned."
 The trouble started with the 1ongshore- men at work on various piers in Brook Iyn. said Mir. Riley, who added that the decision of the adjustment commission, which has been considering the mems de- mands for s1 an hour instead of 65 cents. would not be made known until the men returned to work. nor would the commits sion resume it's deliberations.
 The specific request made by the addi- tforal shipyard strilNrs is for wage increase based on the work performed. Machine workers want a minimum of s4So, boiler workers $40 for work with long bars and $40 for work with short bars and miscellaneous workers S3.60

|MR. t. W. FRANKL|N'S CASE WAS COMMON
 TALK IN ABERNANT
Every One Knew How He Had. Suffered From Stom- ach Trouble, Consti- pated Bowels and
 Weak Kidneys
DRECO RELIEVED HIM

My case was common talk in my home town and among the l.. & N. rail- road folks, who knew me quite well,' said Mr G. w. Franklin of Abernantg Ala.
 But I've won a great battle with stomach trouble of ten years standing, even if it did take six bottles of Dreco to do it. I was improving all along with each bottle, so was encouraged to keep at it from the very first.
 "No matter how careful 1 was about my food, it would turn to gas and fill me up so that my breathing was diff cult, and I had a sense of suffocation. I'd belch up water hot as fire that would burn my throat; heavy lump seemed to lay in my stomach; my bow els were badly constipated and l had to
 take liver regulators all the time to keep them active. My kidneys often called me out of bed five and six times at night.
 'But it is all over now, for Dreco has put an end to all these ails and Pm a well man today; eat anything I want: never have any gas in my stomach and bowels, act freely without assistance of other medicines; kidneys don't trou- ble me at night now, and I'm just feeling grand. Dreco sure is a fine medicine. and I've sent lot of my friends to get it on account of the good l it did me"
 | Dreco is not an experiment, it is a safe. harmless combination of nature s extracts. and contains no dangerous
 minerals, acids or salts. It is natures medicine and can be taken with safety I into the most delicate system. Dreco | is inexpensive and is now dispensed by modern drug store almost everywhere | All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Bir- mingham by Norton's drug store, Halls Pharmacy.

 Two Birmingham boys in the navy have recently been promoted according to information received. at the local re- cruiting station in the Title Guarantee building. Daniel G. Easter, 1S02R Fourth avenue, serving on board the U. s. S Kittery, has been promoted from seaman second class to hospital apprentice first class.

 veloped in the steel strike in the Pitts

ALBANIAN WILL NOT BE APPOINTED Judge Grubb Declares He Will Not Offer for
 Vacancy

Judge William I. Grubb, while appre- ciatiye of the desire of his friends that he should be named as successor to the late Judge Don A. Pardee on the federal court of appeals bench, will not be an applicant for the position. The fact that Alabama already has one man on this court, Judge Richard W. Walker of Huntsville, is believed to be the chief reason why the local jurist does not de- sire that his name be put forward for the honor.
 T recognize that Alabama already has one judge on the bench in the court of appeals and I am not an applicant for the vanacy," said Judge Grubb yester. day. ''I do not know who will be ot- fered the vacancy except that it undoubt> edly will not be a man from Alabama.
 For several days the friends of Judge

Grubb have been considering the mat
 ter of proposing his name, despite the known handicap of the fact that there
 was already member of the court of
 appeals from this state. However, after
 his declaration yesterday it was decided
 to go no further with their plans and it is now not expected that his name will
 be presented to the attorney general for
 recommendation to the President. Local men who are in close touch with Attor- ney General Palmer are confident that there would have been no difficulty in securing the place for Judge Grubb had Alabama not been represented on the court already.
