LONG FLAYS PRESS FOR CRITICISM OF
 BLOCKADE TACTICS
Another Bill to Permit Sale of Cereal Beverage Intro duced-No Test of Block
 ade Strength Attempted
By FRED IT. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age-Herald. 22l-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, october 10.-(Special.) J. Lee Long, representative of Butler county. and leader of the legislative blockade of 20. which has held up legislation since the special session began last Tuesday. attacked The Birmingham Age-Herald, Birmingham News and Mobile Register in an ad- dress on a question of personal priv iiege shortly after the house met Monday afternoon.
 Editorial criticism of the blockade made by the newspapers in their Sun day editions was the cause of Mir. Longs attack, in which he defended himself against the criticism and in- sisted that the blockaders, instead of being unpatriotic as charged, were practicing the highest degree of pa triotism in their efforts to abolish the tax adjusters.
 "The Birmingham Age e-Herald, Blr- mingham News and Mobile Register have. called us unpatriotic for refus- ing to vote on measures until some relief is given the taxpayers and the tax adjusters abolished" said Mir. Long after he had obtained the floor on question of personal privilege.
 We are banded together for the purpose of securing legislation for the benefit of the poor people back home. who are overburdened with taxation. It that unpatriotic?
 "Tied to Administration"
 ''We have heard of a subsidized press. 1 do not charge that these newspapers are subsized, but l ask you to lend cause to effect. The two big newspapers in Birmingham during the recent strike tied them- selves to this administration and since that time have not criticized it..
 Can it be true that the Mobile Register and the people of Mobile have tied themselves to this admin istratfon with books of steel in or der to secure the passage of the port bills?
 Can it be true that these news papers have become subsized to this administrations I do not make this charge, But l do ask that cause be lent to effect.
 1T do charge that this administra- ton has been the most wastefui In the history of this state. Take the records of the state and you can find out for yourself that this is true.
 We who stand in this agreement not to v3ts for any bills until relief Is given eto the tax payers. knew that tue people want this relief and that tho only way we cah get 1t for them Is to stand in solid phalanx
 We do not intend to vote for even the good roads measures until we get this relief for the tax pay CTS"
 Mir. Long said he indorsed every action of the governor during the strike in the Birmingham district
