 STATE HIGHWAY BILL

R. R. Moore of the Birmingham Trades Council R. E. l.. Connolly, representa- tive of the building crafts; E. B. Irwin. president of the Civic association. and c. l.. Harold secretary-manager of the association, were in conference yester- day morning preparing communications to be sent to representatives of the house LII ging the support of the state highway bill intact and without amendment.
 The representatives at Montgomery are being warned against the designs of the enemies of the S25, 900 bond is- sue who are attempting to defeat the only feasible plan of Alabama for ac- cepting federal aid. It was pointed out in the communications that the worst blow in the state highway bill was the amendment to divide the motor vehicle tax among the 67 counties equally for roads, as it is we'll known that these taxes must be pooled in one fund pledged to create a sinking fund and interest fund to discharge the s2S,oO0.0o0 of bonds and maintenance fund to take care of the state highways.

 George W Holley, a negro barber em- ployed by Mckee & Davis, did the shoot ing and has been placed in the city jail on charge of assault with intent to murder.
 The shooting occurred after a heated argument between Sanduskee and Hol- ley, who are both barbers in the shop at this place.

Andrews, who was seated in the chair operated by Sanduskee. said: "l noticed the two negroes fussing over the little matter of moving the chairs and told Sanduskee to stop it until he had finished shaving me.

He hit him once and then must have accidentally lowered his pistol when it went through the shoulder of Mir. Johnston" ae

CIVIC ASSOCIATION
 DELEGATION ID MAKE FIGHT FOR ORR BILL
Local Organization Favors Working Convicts on the ROads-HarOld Attacks
 Substitute Measures

Faced with the danger of the defeat of the Orr bill removing state convicts from the mines and placing them at work upon state highways, the Birmingham Civic association is preparing to send a fighting delegation to Montgomery to champion the bill, and if possible in- sure its passage.
 Charles L. Harold, secretary manager of the association, received information late yesterday afternoon that grave dan ger faced the bill, and that heroic ef- forts would be required to prevent the opposition "snowing it under" The Civic association has fought for the Orr bill since its introduction, delegations from the association have championed the measure and it is now proposed to make a final stand for the enactment of the "a good majority.
 It is believed that opponents to the a{neasure will try at the end of the legis- slative calendar to pass the counter meas 5re, which proposes to place the con- victs in state-owned coal mines, or some counterfeit of the Orr measure which was first introduced and which, accord ing to the Civic. association secretary represents the sentiment of the people o6 Birmingham and the state of Ala bafna.
 "The other bills offered with regard Mo4the convict system are visionary and impractical" Mr. Hanold declared. This Orr measure is a bill that really pro- poses to remedy a great evil. People of Alabama will not stand for the sup pression of the bill. It is up to the public to come through with real pro- test now. The legislature is almost over and action will have to be taken inn mediately or it will be too late"
 In championing the measure for which the Civic association has fought, MT. Harold declared that "a sense of decency should compel every citizen to fight for this bill," and that any substitute should be frowned upon."
 Nothing before the session has been of more vital importance than this mat ter" MT. Harold continued. "It is useless to go into a long discussion of it now, because people are familiar enough with the barbaric lease system to erase 1t without comment. That big interests are fighting it is all the more reason why the citizenship should be thoroughly aroused and make a final stand for it's passage"
 It is understood that large number of Civic association boosters of the Orr convict bill, with possibly other citi- zens not members of the association, but who are strenuously opposed to the convict lease system, will compose the party which will make the journey to Montgomery to storm the capital at the close of the legislative session.
