s'Drive to Break the AgricuItur-
al Bloc Has Been Started"
Says Alabama Senator.
(sy The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sf-Senator
Kenyon, of Iowa, leader of the dis
cussed agricultural bloc and chairman
Of the senate labor committee was
named today by President Harding to
be circuit judge for the eighth circuit
Immediately amer the receipt of the
nomination the senate confirmed it
unanimously in open session.
At the white house It was said the
president had appointed Mr.. Kenyon
Smith because of his high regard for
the senator's ability and because Of
the latter's known desire to have
place on the federal bench. Senator
Kenyon, in formal statement, later
also said the president when a member
of the senate knew his dislike for poll
tiles and his love for the law.
In the senate, Senator Harrison,
democrat, Mississippi. after confirma-
tion had been voted said that, while
he was confident that the appointment
of Mr.. Kenyon was because of the lat
ter's eminent qualifications, the ques-
tion would arise throughout the agri-
cultural sections as to whether the Sc
lection was not intended to drive a
wedege into and ultimately destroy the
agricultural bloc. Senator Heflin
democrat, Alabama, declared that with
the Kenyon appointment the ''driye to
break the agricultural bloc had been
started
Senator Kenyon does not plan to
quit the senate until probably the mid
die -os 4asspsaaAssssrF3S. that time hs ex-
poets passage of the Capper co-opera-
tive marketing bin. in which he is Vi
tally interested and with which he has
had much to do as the leader of the
agricultural bloc.
Senator Boral1, of Idaho, is next in
the republican line on the labor COM
mittee, and if the senate rule of seni-
ority. so long established is followed
in this case, Mr.. Borah will head the
committee.
No Successor TO Kenyon Suggested.
DES MONIES, Jan. 31.-Governor
N. E. Kendall late today announced he
had given no thought to the question of
whom he would appoint to succeed
Senator w. S. Kenyon, whose nomina-
tion as federal circuit Judge of the
Iowa district was confirmed by the
senate.
Governor Kendall said he probably
would appoint a successor Immediately
following the date when the resigna-
tion OF Senator Kenyon takes place.
The Iowa governor also quieted ru-
mors that he would seek the place
himself by announcing he would not
think of resigning the governorship to
become a candidate even though he
knew he would be elected.

BANDITS ROUTED
IN HOLD-UP OF
BANK RUNNERS

Philadelphia, June 30.-One bandit
is believed to have been killed and
two runners of the Textile National
Bank and a policeman were slightly
injured in a pistol fight today in
which eight men tried to hold up the
runners in the northeastern part of
the city.
The bandit believed to have been
killed was removed by his seven COM
panions in the limousine they used
to accomplish the robbery. Washing
ton, d. C. 81, 695" was the license
number on the car.
The bank runners and Il third man
were taking $12500 to the Stead q
Miller Upholstery Mill in an automo-
bile when the bandit car rounded a
corner and halted the other machine.
Some of the eight robbers jumped out
and opened fire on the runners with
sawed off shotguns. The runners re-
turned the fire while the other man

into nearby textile mill without be-
ing hit in the general firing by both
sides. A policeman appeared on the

INCREASED DEMAND FOR
BOTTLED DRINKS GROWING
HEAVIER WEEK BY WEEK

]. Bunyan Smith. proprietor of the
Lakeland Coca-Cola Bottling Works,
states that the demand for the popu-
lar bottled drinks, Coco-Cola, Orange
Crush, Lemon Crush, Lime Crush and
Delaware Punch, is growing heavier
every day.
During the hot months, the local bot
tier has been turning out between 400
and 500 dozen bottles of these fav-
orites every day. People are becoming
more educated to the need of drinking
bottled drinks because of the sanitary
manner in which they are bottled,
says Mr.. Smith.
Empty bottles are never touched by
human hands. After being sterilized
by the automatic and modern steril-
izer. they are then passed on into the
machine which carbonates them, and
then through various machines before
they reach the automatic bother,
where they are then sealed and made
ready to drink.
The local bother runs two trucks
regularly, and not only supplies the
demand in Lakeland, but delivers
these favorite drinks to Mulberry, Au-
burndale, and Kathleen.
After nine years of increasing bust
ness. in which time the old methods
have been entirely abolished and new
and modern machinery installed to
care for the greatly increased demand,
the local bother is now in a position
to give both good service and prompt
delivery.

be striking against the orders of a
governmental agency. The execu-
tives summoned to the conference
were from % roads charged by EN-
'ployes with Illegally contracting shop
work in violation of the boards or
ders.
officials of 21O class one road who
protested that strike on their lines
over the controversy was unjustified
because they had not followed the
practice of farming out their repair
work were also invited.
OF the three issues on which shop
men voted in their referendum was a
petition for a walkout against the
farming system, which received the
heaviest vote of any, according to
official announcement. The vote
against the wage reduction was said
to have received the lightest favorable
votes.
Indications today were that not all
shopmen planned to respond to the
strike call. Rail officials still con-
tended that a rail shopmen strike
would not tie up a railroad system at
least for a considerable time. Train
service employees in the Big Four
brotherhoods and the telegraphers are
engaged in no controversy with the
roads. Their only statement was that
they would perform only their regular
duties and do no work usually per-
formed by other classes of railway
employees.
Wage reductions effective tomorrow
aggregate approximate $135.000, 900.
One million railway employees will feel
the slash.
The last ballots in the shopmen's
referendum were due today.
