Industrial Output of Bir- m i n g h am Congesting. Railroads Curtailing
 Passenger Service

Although Birmingham is well without the strike zone, the tie-up of the railroad sys- tems north of the Ohio and Po- tomac rivers is seriously inter- fering with business in this dis trict.
 Shipments of pig iron and other articles consigned to points in the north. east and west have been practically suspend ed, embargoes promulgated at St. Louis. Louisville, Cincinnati and Washington making it impossible to hold out hope of deliveries at any near date.
 The passenger service between Wash ington and New York and into Chicago and other cities in the northern tier of states and west of St. Louis is badly deranged. where it is not altogether stopped
 Division Passenger Agent James Free man of the Southern Railway system stated yesterday that no sleeping car reservations beyond Washington could be made, and that it is doubtful if pas sengers going from the south can get through to New York. He says only one hope is held out to them, and that IS due to the fact that the Pennsylvania makes up a train in Washington at night and runs it through to New York. It is made up of sleepers arriving in Wash ington during the day, but all the sleep CTS cannot be carried on this one train.
 The Seaboard Air Line announces that through service north of Richmond has been discontinued for the present, and Fl iey 4fYal ic through to Chicago.
 The situation with respect to freight is even worse than with the passenger traffic Only perishable articles are ac- cepted by the Illinois Central for points orl it's line north of the Ohio and none at all for delivery to connecting lines III that territory.
 The Louisville and Nashville is oper- ating without interruption to Louisville, but can make no promise or delivery north of the Ohio.
 E w. Daniel. assistant general freight agent of the Seaboard Air Line. yester- day received the following notice from the general superintendent:
 "Effective at once, account serious labor trouble north of Washington, trains l. 2, 3, 4. and 6 will originate and terminate at Richmond. Sell no tick cts for points north of Richmond until further auNlSeO. All passengers VIII transfer from Seaboard Air Line and Pullman equipment to Richmond, Freder- icksb,1rg and Potomac coach equipment at Richmond. Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac will, as far as possible. op- crate local trains between Richmond and Washington"
 Passenger trains and will operate between Birmingham and Washington, No. 6 leaving Birmingham at 6;l5 a. m. and arriving at 10:4O D. m
 The regular service, MT Daniel states, will be resumed just as soon as the pres- ent strike situation is relieved
 Pig iron and foundry products intended for northern points are being held here awaiting the end of the strike. or the lifting of the embargoes published by the northern lines.

ORGANIZED LABOR

 Labor and capital should be friendly o-workers, each passing it's policies and practices upon high ethical principles. Equal and exact justice should prevail. Along with the privilege of collective bargaining upon the part of workers. The right to bargain collectively should be accorded to labor and capital alilse'
 Dr. Abercrombie stated that he voted for the Clayton act which was based on the theory that labor is not commodity.
 Unrest, which is worldwide, he said, is an aftermath of the World war and will continue until peace is established and business and industry have been read justed. Asserting that many of our trou- bles are due to the fact that there is no satisfactory means for the orderly and equitable settlement of industrial disputes which affect the public, he favored the creation of some medium through which equitable adjustments can be effected.
 Surely" he said. Hwe have intelligence and patriotism enough to devise some method of settlement that will be mu- tually fair and mutually acceptable. Whatever method may be agreed upon and adopted, especially in the funda- mental industries, should conserve the in terests of three parties, namely, the workers, the employers and the public.
 He approved the recommendation or President Wilson that lhe date, cost anu selling price of foodstuffs put in cold storage be stamped upon the articles, and fixing a limitation on the time which they may remain ill storage.
 He favored the continued improvement of rivers and harbors, the deepening and improving of Mobile harpor and the rivers in Alabama.

 He opposed militarism and all measures that tend to develop militarism: opposed a large standing army and compulsory military training.

Dr. Abercrombie said he favored q law t1at would absolutely stop immigration for four or five Xears and until the foreign CTS now here can be assimilated.

Many vitaliy import ant things depend upon the prompt ratifi cation. among them being the readjust ment of business and industry, the re- establishment of foreign trade relations tho amicsble settlement of differences between labor and capital, the eradication of bolsnevism and anarchy, the estab- lishment of world peace and the proven, tion of future wars"
 Answering his own question al to why the treaty had not been ratified sDr Abercrombie stated that foreign infu- ence had prevented. it. that there is a great deal of active pro-Germanism blind partisanisn and "dislovaI Sim Feinism' in the country, and that the, were largely. if not the sole cause of it's defeat.
 In the northeastern part of the country he stated, there is a great deal of Sinr Feinism. and the members of Congress from that section are consciously or un- consciously influenced by it. He said ont Senator wanted to speak in advocacy oi ratification when the President first brought the treaty back to this coun try, but few days later faced about and opposed 1t.

BREAD PRICES
