CHARGE OUTSIDERS. FIGHT SHRIMP ACT.
By FRED II. GORMLEY Montgomery BuresS. The Age-Herald. 22t-2 First NatiokaI Bank Building

SEI-E fIfSt NdnOhSl bhlh ouhuhhs
 Montgomery, October 17-(Special') Charges were made on the floor Of the house Monday that shrimp catch CTS of other states were attempting to defeat the bill now pending, which prohibits any nonresident from talk ing any shrimp whatever from the waters of Alabama surrounding Mo bile. The allegations came after an effort was started to recommit the Craft shrimp bill to the committee on Judiciary after 1t had been with
 drawn from the committee on game fish and forestry preservation.
 Representative Joseph w. Green of Dallas proposed that the bill from the senate, which has already passed the upper house by practically a unanimous vote, be recalled from the committee on game, fish and forestry preservation and be recommitted to the judiciary committee. In this motion be was supported by Repre- sentative George Ross of Jeffe son. Representative o. l.. Tompkins of Houston and J. Lee Long of Butler opppsed the proposal. Representative Tompkins enlarged that the judiciary committee now has a similar bill which was introduced in the house and had never reported it, and that it would serve no good purpose to recall the bill. Representative Long openly asserted that he had infor nation that nonresidents, including shrimp packers of Mississippi, were attempting to kill the bill. It las been no secret In legislative circles that J. T. Stokely of Birmingham, railroad attorney, has been here since the legislature met in opposition to the bill. Mir. Stokely was attorney for E. F. Elmer, Biloxi shrimp packer, when he made his successful attack on the old law In the federal court. NJ. Stokely is counsel for the South ern reilroad and represented MT. Green in his now famous suit against the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineci < for discnarsing him from the organization because he refused to desert his engine and go on strike during the World war. The motion to recommit the Dill was defeated.

GRIEVANCES OF RAIL MEN
 ARE SET FORlH BY SI0ME
Continued from Page one)

(COntinued from Page One)
 immediately following this meeting great number of the railroads served notice on their. employees that they would revise a schedule and take from them the rules governing their serv- ice that had been in effect for from 10 to 30 years. Said rules were ob- tained partly by the efforts of the United States board of mediation or boards of arbitration of which the neutral members were appointed by the representatives of the govern ment The majority of such rules were the result of negotiations across the table with the representatives of the organizations and the managers of the individual railroads and ac- knowledged to be fair and equitable.
 Conference Arranged
 "A conference of all general chair men was arranged to be held in the month of July in the city of Chicago. The result of said conference was to instruct the executives of the organi- zations to meet the executives of the railroads some time prior to Sep tember I for the purpose of trying to bring about an amicable adjustment. This was done and a committee of TdllTOdQ 6AeCuLlfGS were met III lHC east, southeast and western terri tories, their answers all being simi- lar and denying any kind of concilia- tory measures.
 ''Following the refusal of the ex- .ecutives of the railways to enter into an agreement with the executives Of the organizations. there was nothing left to do but refer the matter to a referendum vote of all the workers which were employed on the railroads and to submit their decision in the matter. In October the representa- tives of the workers were convened in Chicago and a canvass of the vote was made which indicated that 94 per cent plus wers in favor of with drawing from the service. Such a condition was never known before in the history of railroad labor. and no doubt was caused by the arrogant, selfish attitude of the railroad ex- ecutives, together with their declina- ton to be a party to any kind Of conciliatory terms.
 After the vote had been can- vassed the chairman of the Railroad Owners association was notified by wire of the result. and request for a conference committee was made The 150 railroad presidents meeting in

 When the jurors had taken the box and had been sworn, Judge Fort announced that court would be ad- journed until this morning at 9;3o o'clock. Judge Fort instructed the jurors and court officials to be in their places promptly at the opening of court this morning.
 People who crowded outside the courtroom yesterday afternoon were disappointed at the ruling of Judge Fort that no one would be allowed in the courtroom until jurors, wit nesses and court officials had been seated, Due to the large number of jurors and witnesses called for the case, there was not room for any spectators. Many left while others remained until court adjourned. Judge Fort announced yesterday that throughout the trial he will per init no crowding in the courtroom, and only those who are able to .ob- tain seats will be permitted to re- main.
 First Witnesses.
 The real interest in the trial will begin this morning, when the first
 witnesses are examined by the state. No one in court yesterday was able tC say whether Mrs. Gussman. who { has been one of the chief interests 1 in the trial. will return during the week to testify against her father or l not. Friends of Mrs. Gussman de- clared yesterday that they did not know whether she will return or not. Attorneys for Stephenson are Judge 1 Hugo Black. Crampton Harris, E. T. McCoIlough, Fred Fite and John Ar mold The state Is represented by Solicitor Joseph R. Tate and his as- sistants, John Mccoy, John Morrow and James c. Davis.
 Opinion among the court officials swas that the case will consume the remainder of this week and probably part of next week before the IF wit nesses summoned for the state and defense can be examined,
 Due to the fact that all juries were used yesterday in the trial of the Stephenson case, no cases were tried in Jldee II. P. Heflin's division of the criminal court.

i'iRh n IS lOl HGTC with the Atlanta ball club, and it looks like the officials of the Atlanta outfit are prepar- ing to dispose of Richard. It is known fact that Cholly Frank offered Kaufman and two other players to Galveston in exchange for Roy Ellam while back.
 Kaufman was deposed as field leader, when Bill Rariden came to the Atlanta club. When he got in the game, following in- juries, he failed to slam lem out with the fierceness of old, and it is being hinted around that Rari- den was dissatisfied with his work. He shipped Richard home and decided to give Kid Brenner chance. Brenner is putting up g nice game at the first turn of the track.
 Brenner is former Cincinnati semi-pro, who joined the Atlanta club in the spring of 1920 for his professional debut. He was sent to the Lindale club in the Geor- gia State kague, and after a

 Patsy Haley, who has been looking after the ring fortunes of Joe White, the Tuscaloosa giant, for a year now, trouped into my office with the formid- able Joe at his heels Tuesday afternoon. Haley and Joe were en route from Atlanta to their stamping grounds in Tuscaloosa.
 Haley informed me that Joe took Battling Moore in charge before an Atlanta audience Mon- day night and proceeded to maui Griffin, Georgia's leading fist singer, into mince meet for four rounds. Then the Tuscaloosan waded in and knocked him for a row of nasturtiums.
 Joe has improved wonderful ly the past two months" said Haley, and is coming along so nicely now that 1 wouldn't be afraid to send him against some tpnotchers."
 Matched With Brennan
 As a matter of fact, the young Hercules has been matched against Bill Brennan at Montgom- cry for September 6. Brennan is the only man who has ever been able to stay 12 rounds with Champion Jack Dempsey, and he's coming south for whirl at the one-night stands. He is to box in Memphis, Atlanta, 1 New Orleans and Montgomery, with Joe acting as the target in the Alabama capital.
 My prodigy has never been knocked off his feet said Haley, and I honestly believe that Brennan will be unable to slam him to the canvas. or course, Brennan has generalship and cleverness in his favor, and could win on points, but l don't believe he will be able to land hay maker on Joe
 Joe grinned good and blushed bit modestly as his manager reeled off his merits. Martin Burke, the New Orleans heavyweight, has run out of three matches with Joe, said Haley, and it don't look like I'm ever going to be able to get Burke in the ring with him."
 
 Hanlon to Montgomery
 Speaking or the fight game in Montgomery, it might be men toned that the promoters tt that place have been angling for the services of Eddie Hanlon for a fight at that place soon. Eddie says he will probably be called there to meet some welterweight August 31. I'm expecting a wire daily" said Hanlon. T was at the ringside down there when Mckinney and Harrington fought and the promoter told me he wanted me to meet Mckinney, Logan or some other good man on that date"
