 OF FORD'S OFFER
Farm Bureau Federation Off, ficiaI Claims Fertilizer Guar antee Is Sufficient Won

By Associated Press

Washington. August 15.-Replying to criticism by Senator Harold, Ok lahoma, and other members of Con gress that Henry Ford in his pro- posed contract for taking over the Muscle Shoals project does not guar antee to manufacture fertilizer, Gray Silver, Washington representative Of the American Farm Bureau federa- tion, today wrote them calling at tehtion to Section 15 of the Ford offer, which he quotes as stating that the manufacture. sale and dis tribution of commercial fertilizers constitutes one of the principal com alterations of this offer.'
 Mir. Silver declared this the most important paragraph. and the vio- lation of which proves the grounds for institution of proceeding by the Attorney General to cancel the lease.
 Not only does MT. Ford guarantee to manufacture fertilizer, but he states that he will make 10000 tons of nitrogen, equal to one-fifth of our total annual consumption In fer tIlizer, and he will do so with the most economical power available,' continues MT. Silver's letter.

 MT. Ford's proposal Is to manu- faeture nitrogen and other conner cial fertilizers mixed or unmixed, and with or without filler, according to demand. Other commercial fer tilizers must Include phosphate or potash fertilizer ingredients, as dls- tinguished from nitrogen commercial fertilizers. Mir. Ford will not fulfill hls contract If he does not produce other fertilizer materials. such as potash and phosphates.
 "The methods of producing phos- phate fertilizers are well known" the letter concludes, and the source of material is within 40 miles of the Muscle Shoals plant fin the Tennes- see phosphate fields, and there are great possibilities in the production of potash from potash shales by the use of the electric furnace and from other substances"

Sheffield Kaufman
 Bound and Gagged

Florence, August 15.-It became known today that an empioye of the Louisville and Nashville railroad at Sheffield was attacked and abused by band of unknown men on Satur- day night while at work in the Louisville and Nashville yards. He was bound and gagged and carried In an automobile to a point about half way between Sheffield and Ath- ems, where he was released and told to beat it.'' It is said that he reached Athens Sunday afternoon.
 A crowd of men from the Southern Railway shops at Sheffield are al leged to have seized and beaten a negro at lonely spot between Shef- field and Tuscumbia Sunday after noon. It is hard to arrive at the facts in both of these cases as none or the strikers or the railroad off cials will talk about either occur renee.

LUMBER FIRMS HIT

Companies Unable to Ship Products Close Down.
 Workmen Idle

Demopolis, August 15.-(Special.)- No relief from the car shortage here can be foreseen. In response to a wire to the interstate commerce com mission at Washington, D. C., MT. P. G. Coleman, president of the Com merctal club. has received telegrams from J. c. Roth. director of bureau of service. and Oscar w. Underwood, United States Senator, stating that the embargo on lumber and the car shortage are due to the strike and are unavoidable; but that they will do everything possible to relieve the situation
 In the meantime, the payroll Of Demopolis industries will be cut ap- proximately s5O.000 weekly. taking into consideration the mills already closed and those contemplating such move in the very near future. The Black Warrior Lumber company. lo- cated on the banks of the Warrior river, has followed the example of the ". G Mitchell Lumber company and is now idle. John c. Webb & Sons expect to close almost at once If relief does not come. The Ala bama Lumber and Supply company hasn't shipped a car of lumber within 30 days. and they state they will close soon if cars are not available. The discontent among the idle work men is growing as they face the prospect of a continued shut-down without money or supplies ahead to live on.
 Freight Tonnage Drops
 The freight tonnage handled at the local government terminal on the Tombigbee river is far away below normal, as they are unable to secure connections by rail. especially via the Southern Pacific. Daily shipments os freight continue to reach the local railway depot but the amount is greatly under the usual volume. Pas senger trains are still running. al- though they are sometimes as much as six hours late. Farmers In this section are unable to ship much hay, owing to scarcity of cars. It is esti- mated that the shipment of hay from the surrounding territory is less than 20 per cent of normal at this time of year.
 Merchants are receiving belated shipments of feed and supplies that were bought and shipped from four to six weeks ago.
