ACTION PROMISED IN LL-WEbER GO
 TOMORROW NIGHT

Phoenix fight fans are looking for ward to Friday nights card at the Arizona Athletic clubs arena as one CT the biggest events pulled orr m this city in many weeks. Manager Harrison Williams has picked DIE time" cast for the exhibition. but not stopping with that. he announced yesterday that a substantial reduc- tion in prices of seats will be in ef- feet for this occasion.
 For the main event, better matched pair of fighters than Fred die Hill of Fort Worth. Texas. and Johnny Weber of San Francisco, hardly could be wished for. Both boys are sluggers of the aggressive start each determined to win as quickly inside the ten rounds as pos sible.
 Weber is better known to local fol- l lowers of the sport than is the Fort Worth boy, on account of his recent appearance here against Eddie Nc l Carthy, of St. Louis. He finished | the Missouri boy in the ninth round, and declares he would have ended the match several rounds earlier had | he been a better runner.
 Hill has a string of victories to his l credit which alone should nsake any opponent sit up and take Lotice. His l knockouts include Frankie Burns In the fourth round at Fort Worth. Joe 1 Fisher in two rounds at Memphis; 1 Billie Kleck in the fourth at Shreve- l port. La. and Bennie McGovern dur | ing the fifth round at St. Louis-all l four of them considerel tough hasn I for any scrapper
 In Freddie's 10 round match with I Young France at Miami the latter l was given the referees decision. but I it was not a popular one.
 For his preliminary program Will
 Hams has picked three of the best
 combinations which have ever pre- I ceded main event in Phoenix. The six-round bout between Young \ Arnold and Tiny Rayfield, the latter
 a Prescott lad. would make very creditable main event in any ten- round performance. These two boys q not long ago fought one of the fast est and best ten-round fights al
 Whipple Barracks that has been seen
 in that section.
 Another six-round 20 will be
 staged by Young Mike and Kid Men, , doza, a popular pair of local boys. A four round battle between Youne
 Rivers and Young Pete, and the mair event. will complete the card.
 The new scale of prices as an. | nounced by Williams will be s1.10;
 s165 and s2. 20; the latter beine ringsids seats. These include tht
 war tax. The seat sale is reported
 heavy.

An Impossible Strike

The very railroad employees
who have voted a general strike
on Oct. 30 must know that their
project is mad. At any time the
complete tying up of the railroad
systems of the United States
would be an outrage; under pre-
sent circumstances it would be a
crime. Through much suffering
and after many sacrifices the
country is struggling back to
fuller work and brighter hope.
Yet here it has a threat Of chaos
come again of industrial para
lysis, commercial ruin, disease,
want and starvation. The unem-
ployed have been a subject of
anxious national concern; but
now 100000 of the employed
propose to quit work, and to force
tens of millions into idleness.
While thousands Of workers in
/. the great industries have accept
ed lower wages, as a necessary
part in the defation Of swollen
war values, the railroad men are
talking of plunging the whole
people into fear and misery rath-
er than admit the need Of a re-
duction in their pay. The thing
seems lunacy. No great strike
ever succeeded without the sup
port of at leasta part of public
opinion. But q general railway
strike now would from the start
meet with swift and overwhelm-
ing reprobation. 1T means life
or death for the railway unions, !"
declares one of the leaders of the
men. Well, if the issue ID raised
and pressed, dead against the
public interest and the governing
sentiment Of the country, II win
mean their death.
That extreme need not come.
The attitude Of the railway unions

COURT HOLDS THAT
 ALLISON IS SANE
Miner Held for Murder Fails In Issue of Insanity.
 Bond Case Pending

J. R. Allison, miner, who is in the county jail charged with murder, was declared to be sane yesterday by Judge William E. Fort of the criminal di- vision of the circuit court. following the hearing of proceedings seeking to have him declared insane. Allison is charged with killing Sam Linn at Gintown several months ago as result of row between striking and Inon-union employees of the Sloss Shelf field Steel and Iron company. At the conclusion of the hearing the court ruled that the testimony sub mtted did not justify him in empan- nelling special jury to hear the issue of sanity. Allison's case was ordered passed until the next capital week in criminal court. which will be held in March.
 Several witnesses were examined be- fore Judge Fort yesterday regarding the mental condition of Allison, who claims to have lost his reasoning since he has been confined in the Jefferson county jail. Dr. B. l.. Wyman, who was appointed specially by the court to ex- anime tho defendants mental condition several days ago, and pr. R. H. Ham rick, county jail physician. testified that in their opinion the defendant.
  dition, is not mentally affected to such an extent q to interfere with his de- fense.
 Other witnesses, including Allison's wife, his attorneys and the warden5 of the county jail had previously testified that in their opinion the man was of unsound mind.
 Counsel for the defense and the so- licitors for the state agreed that the habeas corpus proceedings heard be- fore Judge Romaine Boyd, and which were appealed to the supreme court. resulting in the defendant being re- manded to jail pending outcome of these proceedings, will be submitted to the appellate court Thursday. As a result of the habeas corpus proceedings bond for Allison was fixed at 5000, and the matter going to the supreme court this week will settle the bail Quetsion.

 RESOURCES

The outlook for increased freight shipping for the Bir- mingham district in the imme- diate future is much better from an industrial viewpoint than the shipping of agricul- tural products from any other part of Alabama.
 This statement was given out yester- day by R. l.. Simpson, assistant freight traffic manager of the Southern railroad, who has made careful survey of the conditions in the Alabama field.
 "It is true" MT. Simpson said, that we have had quite slump in traffic All railroads have. We knew it had to come sooner or later, and we prepared for IL the best we could with the result that most lines have taken advantage of the slack period for the purpose of getting rolling stock in better shape to meet fu- rure demands, and also making survey of general conditions on each of their re- spective lines.

 Another phase of shipping which gives the railroad traffic man reason for en- larged optimism is the loosening up of the lumber market. Lumber is beginning 10 move, and equipment is being rushed to take care of increasing orders."
 Mr Simpson said that now, more than sever before in the history of commercial railroading, traffic men are devoting time and attention to the building of goodwill between carrier and shipper.
 % There was time when railroad men sthought goodwill didn't amount to Mmuch," said MT. Simpson, but today we are finding that it is one of the most es- sential factors in the transportation busl- ness" PLENTY OF CARS
