Three Personal Representa- lives, Now Preparing Report, Held Conference With
 Executive Yesterday

Montgomery, March 9.-(Specia1.l- After long conference with his three personal representatives in the coal strike controversy, Governor Kilby late Wednesday stated that he had not received the lamentations of the committee, composed of William T. Sheehan, Richard M Hobbie and John W. Durr, and tha+ it probaL-y will be the latter part of the week before his decision and the committee recom- mepdations can be announced.
 The committee spent much of the morning and a portion of the after noon with the governor and made an exhaustive preliminary and informal statement of the facts which it gath cred during it's investigations last week. Chairman Sheehan announced that a formal report was in process of formation and would be submitted to Governor Kilby as soon as it could be completed.
 This means probably that the gov vernon will announce his decision late in. the week. He will desire two or three days, it Is thought, for the con sideration of the recomm endations be- fore his decision is reached. Under agreement between the coal operators and United Mine Workers of America, he is the sole arbiter of all matters at interest.

Scottsboro, March 9.-(Special. .)-- Developments today and tonight be- tween officers of the state and alleged night riders continue of an indefinite trend. Sheriff Mack Thomas of Jack son county left this evening for Ste venson with special deputized officers to bring back seven men arrested, dur ing the day, who are believed by of ficefs to be ringleaders of the trouble originating between the Tenants union and the landlords of different estates.

 The correspondent, in Interviewing the men in custody tonight. failed to gather anything from any one of them.

PACKERS DENY CHARGES

Chicago, March 9.-A statement deny ing charges that the packers would welcome a strike as means of getting rid of accumulated products which now were in Storage,' was issued today by J. Ogden Armour, president of Armour &, Co.,, packers. The charges were made yesterday by Dennis Lane, secretary of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workers of North America, in commenting on wage reductions an nounced by the packers.
 MT Armour's statement follows:
 Statements that strikes or labor trou- bles would be welcomed by meat pack CTS as an aid in disposing of big accum- ulations of meat are wholly erroneous.
 "There are no such accumula tions. The great bulk of the meat eaten by the American public is not kept in cold stor- age; it is fresh meat and it has to be kept moving from the time of slaughter until it is on the dealers Mock Accord ing to the governments March report the cold storage stock of meat and lard, etc, was quarter billion pounds less last month than it was the correspond ing month a year ago-and this situation has not been materially changed this month
 'It is equally absurd to say that pres ent accumulations of hides have been in- ventoried at low values in order to show losses. We invite those who are so stat ing to buy, or find a market for those hides and the price which we will take to get rid of them will show the utter absurdity of charge that an artifi- cially low price has been put on them.
 "Nnety per cent of our employees ap- preciate that lower production costs are essential and justifiable and we do not believe they are going to be swayed by self-styled leaders whose jobs and sal- aries are always in danger except when there is conflict.
 Our action with regard to wages is q definite part of the whole nations cam paign to get back to normal

AMERICAN LEGION
 DR|VEFOR MEMBERS
Plans for Campaign to Be Outlined at Meeting Called at Courthouse

The campaign for members being con- ducted throughout Alabama by the American Legion is proceeding satisfac torily, according to information received from a number of posts by the headquar- ters of the state department here.
 The plan for tine first annual cleanup which was compiled by state adjutAlt Joe Yates, gives a complete outline of the best way to conduct the campaign and this is being followed by a number of posts, reports to the state depart ment say.
 The Birmingham post was late in or ganizing for the two weeks campaign, having planned to conduct a member ship drive during the latter part of the month of April. An effort was made to move the date up in order to coincide with the date for the state campaign, but due to the fact that several mem bers of the executive committee had to be out of the city and others were en- gagged in court and similar necessary duties, changes in the plans for the work on the local post have been an nounced.
 Arthur Greenwood, campaign manager announced yesterday that due to the in ability of a number of members of the committee to give the time necessary to properly canvass the city and suburbs, he was planning to select new team captains and workers, a complete list of which would be announced within a few days. Members of the executive com mittee, who were unable to conduct the campaign alone, will assist as workers on these teams, Mir. Greenwood stated.
 A call for a meeting of members of the legion has been sent out by MT. Green wood for Sunday afternoon at o'clock in the courtroom on the third floor of the curthouse. Fifty strong workers have been chosen to take the lead in the campaign and although the local post will be one week late in starting, Mr. Greenwood plans to work with such speed and organization during the last week of the two-weeks drive that the record of the local post will be up to standard
