Pascagoula, Miss, April 3-Nearly 35Vo workers, comprising practically the entire force of the International Shipbuildins company, it was declared by union lead- CTS, went on a strike here late today. c. II. Frank, general secretary of the southern shipyard workers advisory board, declared the walkout was the re-
 of the company's refusal to treat with representatives regarding the new wage Scale recently proved by the ship labor adjustment board.
 According to Frank the company and the union made a contract last fall in which the company agreed to abide by the adjustment boards scale.
 Another point in the controversy, he said, is the complaint of the boiler mak- CTS that boiler makers from the north are receiving higher wages than those employed from the south.

Sailor Joe stepped upon the mat moment later and it was evident from the cheering that he was favorite.
 Freburg looked to be in grand shape. but Stecher seemed rather worried, due probably to his recent defeats at the hands of Lewis and Zybiszco. The Swede had at least b pounds advantage in weight, being especially developed in the

Road Delegates Convene to Find Means of Building
 Permanent Roads in State
Continued from Page Five)

(COntlnued from rage F1VcI hotel at 2:3o o'clock in the afternoon. After invocation by Dr. George Stuart. pastor of the First Methodist church, he called on pr. Frank Willis Barnett to welcome the delegates to Birmingham. Chairman F. J. Cramton of Montgomery, responded and taking the chair, intro- duced Senator Oscar w. Underwood.
 After reading the telegram from Sena- tor Banl1head. Senator Underwood ex- pressed his appreciation of the oppor- tunity of discussing good roads before such a representative body of Alabamans. He spoke of the changed sentiment to- wards highways in the last twenty-five years and of the changed conditions that require roads to be built of much better material now than twenty-five years ago.
 A little dirt scraped together and rolled answered the purposes in the earlier days he said, but now that ten ton trucks are upon the highways the material of which they are constructed must be capable of withstanding the traf- fic the changed conditions have brought about.
 No question, not strictly moral, is more important to the people today, he said, than that of road building. Without good roads children in rural communities can not get to church and the farmers can not get their products to market.
 He said good roads agitation was nc new thing, that Thomas Jefferson, when president, signed a bill providing fo' postoffices and postroads; that the fath- CTS of The country realized that gooo roads was not local but national ques- ton, and that more than 100 years ago highway was built from Maryland to the Mississippi river.
 He declared that it would be a waste of time and money to build a road without a good foundation under it, and added that it costs money to build good roads and that everybody could not get one at the same time.

chest though not so well muscled in the limbs as his rival.
 After several minutes consumed in goring each other around the ring. the men went to the mat with Stecher on top only to be promptly turned over by Ere burg. Then followed a mad scramblinG for holds and both wrestlers jumped to their feet to renew hostilities on an even basis
 Stecher tried several scissors in vain. Whenever Joe would get his legs around Freburg the latter would start punishing his toe and it continued thus without ad- vantage on either side until 20 minutes time had expired when Stecher locked the Swede into what looked to be cer- tain defeat.
 With that famous shears clamping down on his body, Freburg. breathing heavily and drowning under the punish ment he was taking, made final effort and by wild iurch upward succeeded in breaking the hold and getting to his feet much to the merriment Of his sup porters.
 The next half hour failed to show any superiority one way or the other. Ere burg tried two or three kinds or Nei- sons, toe holds and arm locks but Joe was never in serious danger. Stecher ae- tempted the full Nelson, body scissors and everything he knew but without success. Both men held up well Ill spi'e oi 'he gruelling scrap.
 After just a little more than an hour tussle Stecher, to the surprise Of every body including his opponent. got ciean hammerlock on Freburg and in about 3O seconds the big boy laid out. It took Freburg several moments to recover from the severe wrenching his arm received in that last hold but he had put up good battle and the audience gave him a mana as he left the mat.
 SECOND FALL
 The second bout was short, swift ana sensational. Freburg came back in good shape apparently and both men worked fast, trying out all the fancy stun in their repertoire With tiger-like agility Stecher sprang to the floor tune anu again after being on the mat. He seemed to be laying traps for Freburg. Finally the big Swede fell a victim to his wiles and in about six minutes and pair or seconds Joe went to the floor with nm securely locked in another deadly ham, mer lock.
 Freburg announced after the match that he had no alibi to offer except that the long trip here had more or less tired him out but that he would like to appear again in finish match with any or the mat stars.
 Forbes and Satterwite of the B. A. C. put on lively preliminary match before the big boys appeared. These amateur grapplers were wrestling to determine who should meet Fritz Jones in finish match for the 145-pound championship or Birmingham.
 The match was clean and Gull of ex- citement as both men were anxious to get the decision in short order. After IS minutes scrambling Forbes threw his man with a headlock. He will meet Jones at the B. A. c. on April 10.

NO TASK FOR THE TIMID
Photography Today May Be cIassed
Among the Occupations That
Require Nerve.

The adventures, reported recently,
of an expedition that penetrated Brit
iSh East Africa to secure motion pic
lures Of big game in its native jungle
reminds one strikingly of the change
that has come over the vocation of
photography. In the beginning pho
Biography was as mild an occupation
as any; it called for a pleasing adj
dress in the photographer, and for
conversational tact to encourage the
sitter to forget that the camera was
watching him, but it vas not adven-
turous, and the timidest might excel
at it. Then the newspapers began to
use the camera and the photographer
had often to be n man Of courage.
But the motion picture industry goes
even farther. Bold and brave must
be the man who successfully takes
pictures Of lions, tigers, and other
denizens of the jungle in their native
hauntS.

years old last grass; born and raised

once. That vas when I was about 80
years old. l went over to Torpidville,
and they just nacher'ly took and start
ed to lynch me the minute I got to
town, for something or nuther. / never
did find out what. One foot was al
ready In the air and the other barely
touching the ground when some Teller
came running and hollered that they
were making a mistake-I wasn't the
guilty party a-tall. AS soon as they
turned me bose / lit out for home as
