Robert Jemison, Jr., Tells
 OF Chicago Contention Plan of Local Men to Inaugurate National Advertising Campaign Is Adopted-Hoover One of Speakers
 and Talks on Business Conditions

to give aid to the injured in business. Thousands of firms whose cases seemed hopeless months ago are now on the road to safety.
 "'We must suffer a period of duress from war, and punishment from the boom, and only until we rebuild our virtues of hard work, frugal living more saving, sober conduct, higher honesty. These things area tfite enough. There are few people who will not accept these hard facts who will perish in the notion that they can by various devices avoid reaping what they have sowed. The resist ance of a. few groups of manufac- turers or dealers to lowering prices to the general level. the resistance of few groups of workers to accommo- dation of their wage to the decreas- ing cost of living, and the necessity of better days work, the refusal os some people to curtail their extra va- gances all contribute to our undoing They have to come into the cold water in the end. They cannot get more than their ratio of the total. In the meantime, they delay recovery and contribute to unemployment among the rest of us
 "'However. the vast majority of us have cheerfully accepted the inevif- able. l have records showing that in most manufacturing industries eff ciency has increased 20 to 30 per cent during the past 12 months. Our farm CTS are making extraordinary efforts. They are economizing in supplies and machinery, they are making the old things do little longer, they will bring in this years crop at much less cost than for many years past. Thus at least 80 per cent of our people have accepted these homely truths and taken those steps that are primary to overcome any depression These people have adopted that slogan of Give a full measure which St. Luke announced as Fundamental of eco- monies some 300 years ago. That is why I insist we have turned the corner

 FORNEY JOHNSTON
City Officials Intimate Belief Receiver Is Trying to Be- cloud the lSsue-Letter
 Goes Unanswered

Criticism of the city's attitude in regard to the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company, voiced in sharp terms in letter written to the commission Friday, will go unanswered until advices are received from Forney Johnston, special counsel for the city, some time this week.
 MT. Bradley's latest letter. answer Ing one in which the city asked that traffic survey of the entire street railway system be made by repre- sentative of the reseiver and of the city was mailed to Mir. Johnston in Washington yesterday by Walter Brewer, who is assisting MT. Johns ton in the case.
 At the city hall 1t was stated a reply from Mir. Johnston would arrive late in the week, in all probability. Forecasts of the color of this reply we're that MT. Bradleys heated answer would be met in kind by the citys counsel.
 Inclination of MT. Bradley to tenn porize now, trying to cloud the issue, was intimated in city circles. Evasion of the present point of dis cussion is thought to be inferred in his. last letter.
 Rendering of a decision and issu- ance of an order by the state public service commission is not expected before the early days of August. When the commissioners left Bir- ming gham, they said a decision would be reached as speedily as possible, but that all the evidence would be carefully weighed before issuance O. an order or denial of the petition for an increase in street car fare with the transfer charge

J|TNEY ORDINANCE
 IS TIGHTLY DRAWN
New Terminus for Glen Iris and South Highlands
 Lines

Jeopardy to lives of passengers of jitneys through the use of Fifteenth street and Fourteenth avenue. south, as a route terminal will be the reason for John H. Taylor, commissioner of public safety. asking the city com ment to the jitney ordinance chang ing the terminus of the Soutn High lands and Glen Iris routes to Phelan Circle, about two blocks ffo-aa the present end of the lines.
 Conditions at Fifteenth street and Fourteenth avenue make it extremely hazardous for passengers to alight from jitneys at this point. Automo- bile traffic is very heavy there. 1t Is stated by police officers. Jitneys stop in the middle of the street. blocking traffic and endanseringA the lives of their passengers.
 The new terminus Is expected to better conditions, allowing the jit- neys turning point where traffic does not become as congested and with more room to operate.
 MT. Taylor stated yesterday that he would insist on the passage of this amendment at the Tuesday meet ing Other provisions of the ordi- nance, he said, would be discussed al conference with the rest of the commission.
 Another matter under consideration by MT. Taylor. it is understood, is the requiring of all passengers to alight from jitneys on the right side of the car. The problem Is enforce ment of this regulation. Doubt was expressed as to the ability Of the driver to control his passengers.
 Final ruling has been made by Commissioner Taylor that passen- gers must ride with both feet inside jitneys. Violations Of the law meet with arrest and fines for jitney driv- CTS who permit them.
 A. Fortgang was fined 8 in res corders court yesterday for permit ting fracture of this regulation. Att CT he had left the court. he charged Traffic officers, however, have been instructed to make arrests in all cases for this of fense.

FA|RF F|ELD'S GAR PLANT IS TURNING

First Car of L. & Ms Order for 600 Rolls Out on Own Wheels Yesterday-Ca-
 pacity 25 Cars a Day

One month after the new car plant of the Chickasaw Shipbuild- ing and Car company at Fairfield began operations, the first finished product was completed, painted, numbered and turned over to the Louisville and Nashville railroad and accepted.
 The works began operation June 13. Or July l3 the first pressed steel car made in the new shops rolled from the plant on it's own wheels to the tracks of the Louisville and Nashville ready to serve the district in the dis tribution of it's manufactured prod ucts
 This car Is of the mill type. It Is a lowside gondola and has capacity of 10o 900 pounds. The Louisville and Nashville has ordered 300 of them and 300 coke rack cars, giving the first order to the new car plant. The coke cars will be retained in this dis trict conveying coke from the ovens to furnaces and foundries, Never leaving the district, they serve prac- tically as shuttle train.
 Started August, 1920
 Work was begun on the car plant in August of 1920, and it was com pleted just 10 months later. Most of the buildings were fabricated in the mills of the Tennessee company, of which the Chtckasaw company Is an auxiliary, and erected by the em- pIoyes of the Tennessee and Chicka- saw companies.
 The capacity of the new plant is 15 to 25 pressed steel freight cars a day. Everything entering into the cars is made at the plant except the wheels, and they come from another Birmingham plant.
 The car plant consists of series of steel buildings, some of which are more than l 1000 feet long. This plant is so neatly dovetailed with the plant making shapes for steel ships that the machinery may work on one or the other, according as the need arises.
 It happens that the car plant has

 The car shops have been pro- nounced the last word in such con struction They use electric power secured from the Alabama Power company. steam pneumatic and hy- draulic power. and gas Is used for relocating purposes.
 The plant cost several millions of dollars. but it's value to the district, 1t is conceded, lies In the fact that il represents another finished steel in dustry. and one that adds to the dis tributing advantages of the district by affording constant influx of new standard freight cars.
 R. R. Baxter. a young, vigorous and progressive man. Is superintendent of the plant.
