Mobiles limitation to Visit
City Is Accepted By Senate
By w. j. BOLES

Montgomery, August 29.-(Special)
After the senate of Alabama had adopt
ed a resolution of Senator Craft, which
accepted an invitation to visit Mobile
to inspect the harbor of the Gulf
City, the house, on motion of Repre-
sentative Tunstall, refused to suspend
the rules so that the resolution could
go on its INN rebate passage. Some
objection to accepting the invitation of
the mayor, Chamber of Commerce and
other Organizations, was voiced in the
House. The resolution went to the COM
mittee on rules.
1t is known the house will accept the
invitation to visit the Gulf City on Sep
TENDER 10, as the guests of the business
men. 1t is only a formality the repre-
sentatives must go through to accept the
invitation The resolution will come up
next Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock,
when the two houses meet again for
their forty-first legislative day.
On Thursday it was stated the Cham
Der of Commerce would send a delega-
ton to Montgomery to extend the invi-
tation in person. Instead, the business
men sent~a telegram to the Mobile dele
CATION, inviting the two houses to visit
the Gulf City.
The invitation is extended to the gov
ernor, lieutenant governor, speaker of
the house and all members of the two
houses. Former Senator Harry T. Hart
well said Fridayvthat special invitations
would be sent to the various newspapers
and newspaper men at a later date.
The senate resolution of Mr.. Craft, in
troduced Immediately upon the receipt of
same, provides that the legislature visit
the Gulf City on September 10. The time
for departure of the train is not given.

Federal Reserve Banks

New York, August 29.-There are more
cross currents in the general trade, in
dustrial and labor situation. but unlike
recent previous action, the access o.
what might be termed a sober second
thought among labor men, and some
really definite reductions in prices OF
foods at wholesale, have made for slight.
ly more optimistic feelings as a whole.
These developments are not, all of them,
what might be termed full formed as
yet, and there is enough labor unrest,
coupled with some very serious strikes,
to cloud the situation but it is felt ia
some lines that while possible country
wide steel works strike impends, the
outlook is not so disturbed as it was
one or more weeks ago. Weekly bank

CULTIVATE CONSUMER"
WOULD BE BENEFITED

Montgomery, August 29-(SpeciaL)
The ultimate consumer ofrAlabama
would get additional favors from the
legislature of Alabama if house bills Of
Representative w. E. Dickson of JEFF
ferson county could get by the compli-
Gated ana rusty machinery of the gen
eral assembly.
Mr.. Dickson's bills are designed it is
said, to reduce the cost of living, max
ing it possible for the ultimate con-
sumner" to purchase eases of goods
from all wholesalers, and cars of coal
from all coal dealers The bills would
make the wholesalers of Alabama sell
direct to the consumer, likewise the
coal dealer.
There is now being considered sew
era1 bills which are suggested as a
means of reducing the cost of living,
but it is claimed the Dickson measures
viii eliminate the profit of the retailer,
this profit going to the consumer.
