 on Steel Shipments

The board of directors of the Birming- ham Civic association indorsed the high way bill at it's meeting held yesterday at noon in Civic association cafe and made plans to send a strong delegation to Montgomery to use it's efforts to have the bill passed.

Harold, secretary manager. who has recently returned from tour in the interest of securing an organized effort to wipe out the alleged discrim- of steel prices. made a splendid report of his work. While away MT Harold visited Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans and the civic organizations of these cities pledged their co-o operation in this matter
