Fate of Conner Amendment
 Still Hangs In the Balance
Exchanges and Their Connections Are Bringing All Pos sibIe Pressure to Bear Against Change in Method
 of Handling Staple
By HrGH W. RoBERTs

Washington, April Especially There is no method of forecasting with intelligence the fate of the Conner amendment restricting the grades of cotton which an exchange might de- liver legally to purchasers unless one. proceeding on the theory that gam blers with money generally prevent remedial legislation, predict that they will score. in this instance. another success.
 The conferees on the part of the House and Senate are still considering the agricultural appropriation bill to which the Conner amendment is at tached, and the conferees, despite all pressure which has been brought to bear, might sustain the amendment. And then. on the contention that such measure. certain 10 precipitate dras- tic changes in methods of. cotton deal ing. should be discussed broadly before being put. into the statutes, the con ferees might lift" it from the bill and thus to all practical purposes .kilr it.
 For it is reasonably certain that if the cotton exchanges have an opportu- nity to prepare their case, and pull their wires which have qualifications in every nook and cranny of the United States. they will be able to forestall all future action. At the present time the amendment, having been intro duced without advertisement, and having been accepted by the Senate
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-04-26

without prolonged debate, is being as- sailed in such strenuous manner that the cotton exchanges might despite it's strategical position. dynamite it into oblivion.
 The most recent attack of the cot ton exchanges comes to Washington in the form of a resolution adopted by the Mississippi Valley Association in convention last week. While this association has agricultural connec tions, those connections concern corn and wheat rather than cotton And then the association is primarily in- terested in the development of the Mississippi river and the encourage ment of trade centers to be benefited by such development. Nevertheless, the association passed resolution complaining of the Conner amendment and urging it's defeat.
 Copies of the resolution were for warded to all members of Congress. Senator Pomerene of Ohio, in replying, stated that Senator Conner in defend- ing his amendment on the floor of the Senate seemed to know all that he should know regarding cotton, its planting. picking, weaving and spin ming and the manner it was banded about on cotton exchanges. h view of the fact that you apparently differ with senator Conner, I am interested to learn if you really know the merits and demerits involved in the question of cotton" he continued.
 Senator Conner is doubtful a s to the fate of his amendment although he is earnestly convinced that it should be enacted and that as result of the exchanges delivering the grade that was purchased. the farmer, the manu- facturer and everyone concerned, ex- cept the cotton gambler, would be benefited. He is encouraged by the warm support which Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas have given and are giving him-all factors in these states. whether representing farmers or manufacturers, having indorsed his amendment and his efforts.

HEFLIN SPEAKS IN
 PICKENS COUNTY
Candidate Pursues Same Line of Ar. gument As In Other Addresses
 Last Week

Reform. April 25.-J Thomas Heflin, candidate to succeed Senator Bankhead, deceased. spoke here at 10 o'clock yes terday to good-sized day audience.
 In the beginning of his address Mir Heflin dwelt at length upon his work in Congress on behalf of the southern cot ten growers. As reward for his efforts along this line, and in recognition of his other services, he felt tbai Ne should be { r'called' to go higher.
 Referring to his chances for election, Mir Heflm repeatedly expressed the co;ie fiGence he had of winning by an over wtelming majority. He said he must d2 this Ito keep up his batting averags~ l The speaker gave his views on several pending issues He had labored to keep. Muscle Shoals in operation as a govern nient plant He first suggested the us- ing of war material such trucks on the public. roads and pledged himself to begin the work of, good roads where Sen ! ator Bankhead had left off
 ] He ridicued the idea expressed by VT | RGshton that the soldier boys Were un- patriotic to accept the bonus which the government might offer in lieu of lands | in Wyoming. He emphatically asserted that he favored doing everything pos sible for the brave boys. who had crossed tho sea
 He passed over lightly two of his op- ponents. He said Mr. Abercrombie had @ good job in Washington and he would see that he kept it. He felt that 1t lwould be pity to take Ex-senator White from his pleasant and lucrative flaw practice in his old age BesideN he had promised to quit running before he was the age of Senator Morgan.
 Mir Heflin was vigorous in his dis
 cussion of Mir. Rushton and Ex-Gov- eruor O'Neal Mir Rushton 'the spe- tas. tt.r through his campaign without cost to lhimself-special interests were furnish- ing the money
 He paid his respects to the "referee in bankruptcy"
 He said: "The trouble with Mir. tONeal is that I've punctured one of his air bubbles and he is as mad as a
 swamp snake in dog days. Mir. O'Neal thinks I'm firing on nm from ambush when I charge him with receiving money from the liquor interests. The idea of Emmet calling such a charge made against himself an attack from cover.
 When I was a boy l used to train fox dogs by dragging wet fox hides over the fields. .Behold O'Neal dragging a wet fox hide through the dry forests of tAlabama Why he is obtaining votes under false pretences.'
 MT. Heflin said. O'Neal had referred to hook relating to the life story of Livingston. He referred O'Neal to two volumes of much later date-one by P tG. Roman on Selling Patronage" The bother by Theodore Lacy entitled "The
 Confessions of a Convict,'
 MT. Heflin continued by saying that
 he had read in literature of the quest
 made by Sir Galahad for the holy grail
 but he had never seen any account of
 any quest made by Sir Emmet in search of the little pine box.
 MT. Heflin closed with red hot de. fense of his conduct when he became involved in a personal difficulty with a
 Washington negro. He explained he wa.

TALKED OF HOME FOR WORK GIRLS.
Mrs. Yielding Spoke Yester- day Morning at First
 Methodist Church

The Methodist cnurches of Birni!ng- ham are undertaking the greatest task in a quarter of a century in establish ing and maintaining a home for the girls who must earn their living by their own efforts" said Rev. George R. stuart pastor of the First Methodist Church, yesterday morning.
 Dr. stuart introduced Mrs. S s. Yield: ing, chairman of the publicity committee of the city mission hoard. who spoke in behalf of the campaign for SI5,0o0 in the Methodist churches in the city to open the Cooperative Home for Business Girls on Eighteenth street and Eighth avenue
 Think how much we owe the working girls said Mrs. Yielding "'They are the very center around which the wheels Of industry revolve. The working girls were all-important factors in the war, helping to create and to maintain that quality which is so important to the fighting man. morale Many of them served in the very front trenches and as willingly laid down their lives for their country as any soldier who made the supreme sac rifice.
 This home is to be home of inspira- ton and sympathy. The girls Will III this home find the inspiration to do bet ter and bigger things, and will finh ready sympathy and cancellations Tor their troubles and worries
 Nobody but God knows how I sur fered in my shabby room last year, try ing to send my smaller sister to school. is A statement from the kind of girl that the home will help and cheer.
 This home will be maintained under the direct supervision of the city mls- son board and in charge of trainea worker. No girl will be excluded from the home because of her religion, but all Will be received onf the same basis.
 Tt is the aim of the board to have the home self-supporting, though this will he impossible at first The girls will all pay for their rooms and meals, and the amount paid will be arranged so that those with the most limited means can find home.
 'sThe idea of the home appeals to every thinking man and woman. whether he pe Christian or not. It is to the distinct ad' vantage of a community to see that us girls and young women are protected mentally, morally and physically from the temptations and evils with which they must come in contact in the fight to earn their living"
