Attempted Coup to End Booze Import
 Has Little Effect
By Asssclatea Press

Detroit, Mich, February 21.-A coup on the part of Attorney General Alex J. Groesbeck, designed to put an end to the importation of enormous quanti- ties of liquor into dry Michigan, begun late Tuesday when the supreme court invalided the Search and seizure sec- ton of the state prohibition law, proved only partially effective today.
 After the attorney general had ob- tained an injunction in the circuit court at Monroe against the importation of liquor across the Ohio-Michiga boun- dary. with the intention of holding for contempt of court any persons engaged in the traffic, Col. Roy c. Vandercook. commanding the state constabulary, ex- pressed the opinion that the writ did not authorize search and seizure. He consequently instructed his men not to attempt forcible search or seizure. unless it was clearly evident that liquor was being carried in large quantities with commercial intent.
 You will stop all cars" he instructed his men, land ask the occupants if they have liquor If there is no liquor in sight and they say they have none or only small quantity, let them go."
 Traffic on the Detroit-Toledo inter- urban system, which fell off sharply with the issuance of the injunction, re gained volume when word was received of the later instructions to the state constabulary

Employment Service Discontinued April 1
 If Decision Sticks
House Appropriations Committee Ac- ton Precipitates Fight That May Grow Warm-Kilby Wires
 Representatives

Opposition to the continuance of the United States employment service, mani fested in several sections of the couA- try recently. has been given tangible form by the action of the appropria- tions committee of the national House of Representatives in it's refusal to include that service in it's budget for the year. Information comes from Washington to the effect that the committee will not make an appropriation to meet the ex- penses of that branch of the service after April l, which means, if this determine tion is adhered to, that the employment date.
 The matter having been brought to the attention of a number of local people and to Governor Kilby and other prom lnent men over the state they have start ed a move to induce the House commit tee to change it's attitude and to make provision for a continuance of the ser vice. The Birmingham Civic association and number of local men yesterday wired Senators Underwood and Bankhead and the Alabama delegation in the House to insist upon an appropriation for the employment service being included in the appropriations bill now pending. Gov ernor Kilby also wired the Alabama dele gation to the same effect.
 It is stated that strong pressure is being brought to bear on both sides and lively fight is expected to be staged before the appropriations bill is finally disposed of i'm Congress.
 Several weeks ago about 50 Birming- ham manufacturers petitioned the labor department to discontinue the employment service, alleging that the emergency for which it had been created was ended and that there was no further need of it. Since then it is understood that other local manufacturers have forwarded peti- tions to the same effect

FARMERS ADVISED
 ID HOLD COTTON
o. P. Ford of the Farmers Union Says Spot Holding Movement Will Not
 Be Broken

O. P. Ford of Mccall, secretary and treasurer of the Alabama Farmers un-e ion. was in Birmingham last night en route home from Franklin courtys where he has been in the interest of the cotton holding and reduction move ment
 'The farmers of Alabama are en- thusiastic about this thing" said MT. Ford, and they are gong to do their part. There were 200 of them at a meeting today and they were unani- nous in their promises of acreage re- duction and spot holding.
 T was down to the New Orleans meeting and have never attended so of the south was represented and all were unanimous in their determination to do their part to see that cotton com mands proper price.
 "Everything under the sun is being done to break this spot holding move- ment in the south. Cotton mills. be- lieve. are encouraging strikes and ev cry other kind of disturbance to get, the cotton farmer into panic and dis pose of his cotton. But we are on to- them this time and the south is going to move in unison to protect her in-. terests. I have two years crop my self and even have a few bales of the. 1914 crop and I am but an example. of the attitude taken by the southern, farmer The best argument with the small farmer who is holding eight bales for instance, is to ask him why he wants to raise eight more bales and get the same price for the Is bales that he will get for the eight. if he will only stand firm. And he is going to stand firm. You can count, on that"
