BOWRON TALKS ID
 AUBURN STUDENTS ON LAW AND ORDER
Capitalist Says LaWIessness Due in Part to War; Praises Work At Auburn;
 Visits Tuskegee

Auburn, September 14.-tSpecial.) ) The first of the regular weekly con vacations for the students of Auburn was held today with James Bowron of Birmingham, capitalist and indus trials leader, as the speaker. MT. Bowron, chairman of the board of the Gulf States Steel company, who re- eently retired from the presidency of That corporation. Las been actively identified for 25 years as an executive with the larger industrial develop ments of Alabama and his message to the students of Auburn, a large percentage of whom will soon enter industrial pursuits, was heard with rapt attention.
 Mir. Bowron declared that one of the greatest regrets of his life had been the fact that he was denied a college education and had never had the comradeship which came from such associations as the Auburn stu dents were now receiving. Born in England 7S years ago, he had been denied the right to enter university or college because he was not a member of the established church.
 Might and Right
 "The English speaking races and kindred people who ruled the world half century ago enjoyed a civiliza- tion based on law" said the speaker '"They believed that law came from God and they respected law and the constituted authority as such. Then about 50 years ago, the Germans started a new philosophy based on the idea that might makes right and the logical result of that theory was the World war. The world is now al- most upside down, but such is only the natural result of four years of war where all told 30,000,000 men were trained that might must prevail. Since the war is over, it has been hard for the world to realize that there must be law and authority and that the principle of might making right will cause destruction.
 MT. Bowron discussed the coal and railroad strikes and declared that every man had the right to quit work when he chose, but that every man also had the right and was under an obligation to work when he chose and that law must be invoked to protect him in the exercise of his right.
 Guest of Dr. DowclI
 The address by MT. Bowron was the first of series of talks which will be made during the year at the weekly convocation exercises.
 Mir Bowron, who had never visited Auburn before, declared that he had been most impressed by the fact that the students of the institution were intent upon learning and preparing themselves for a life of work and usefulness.
 While in Auburn the distinguished visitor was the guest of Dr. Spright Dowell, president. He was enter tained at luncheon today at Smith hall where he met a number of mem bers of the faculty and this after noon he visited Tuskegee institute.

Real Estate Board Committee Offers Service as Mediator in Dispute Between City and B. R., L. & P. co.

No definite action, other than the threshing out of the city's side of the controversy between the city commission and the E. R. L. and I. company was taken at the meeting between committee of the Real Estate board of the city and the city commission yesterday.
 ]. K. Brockman, in the absence of Jerome Tucker. opened the meeting, offering the services of the commit tee to the city commission in an at tempt to solve the problems that now exist between the city and the B. R. l.. and r. company. He stated that at a recent meeting of the committee with officials of the traction com pany, J. s. Pevear, general manager, claimed that the company is now in the hands of the court and that it is an utter impossibility for the company to borrow money to prop erly function. MT. Brockman fur ther stated that there should not be spirit of antagonism in existence between the company and the city commission and that a broader view of the matter should be taken be- cause, he claimed. that the present situation is hampering the progress of the city.
 Following Mir. Broakman, A. R. Dearborn spoke to the body, bringing np the jftney question and declaring that the jitney is the principal bone of contention and that the question now Is whether or not we can have two methods of transportation in the city." He stated that he believed that if this question, were entered into. that the solution of the problem could be found.
 Would Restrict Jitneys
 Richard RapdOlph who Uas mt member of the realators committee, spoke from the standpoint of & citizen, saying that the question be- tween the jitneys and the street car company is one of competition with everything in favor of the jitney. He suggested as a settlement that such restrictions be placed on the jitney as to make Q fair competition.
 President McLendon of the city commission declared that it is not the purpose of the commission to fight the utilities, realizing he stated, that should the railway company go out of business. it would not only cause great inconvenience to the public but that property values would depreciate, and that the B. R. l.. and F. company. being one of the largest taxpayers in the city, it is necessary that the city cooperate with the company. He further stated that, in his belief, the car company is very much responsible for the coming of the jitney, declaring that bsfore the advent of the jitney service, the street car company was giving the public very poor service. and that the public could not be blamed for turn ing to the jitney when 1t could se- cure better service from that sovrce.
 Time For Decision
 MT. McI.pndon said that ha heIfeves that the time has come when a de- cision must be made and be made in favor of the railway company. He explained that the car company has

the city blocked in every direction and that the city is powerless to continue paving projects that it now has under way until the B. R. L. and P. company finds it possible to come to some reasonable agreement with out the necessity of fight, ~
 Commissioner of Public Utilities w. L. Harrison, welcomed the efforts of the committee and declared that there are a great many questions be- sides the iitney that should have consideration before the commission and the E. R. l.. and r. company can come to final agreement He de- clared that the people were justified In complaining of the service of home rule of public utilities because of the feeling that the city can obtain bet ter service from it's utilization, if the affairs of the utilities are controlled and handled by the commission. He further stated that had the E. R. L.. and r. company given it's attention in serving the public in the past, the present 1itney question would not be in existence.
 Ready to Co-operate
 Commissioner Dickson stated that the commission stands ready and willing to cooperate with the B. R. L. and P. company but that certain rights that belong to public must be protected. He maintained that the B. R. l.. and F. company in refusing to grant certain rights-of to the city had seriously hampered the city in the progress of paving and that unless the disputed rights-of- way could be secured soon the city stands to lose the offer of the county whereby the county will pay for 65 per cent of the cost of the continua- tion of certain highways into the city.
 Thomas Huey. of the board of rev enue. speaking as an interested cit izen, explained the offer of the ,coun- ty to bear 65 per cent of the expense of paving of certain highway con tlnuations and declared that the city cannot go through with the paving because the E. R. l.. and r. company has refused to grant the right-of- way. He stated that if the real es- tate commission can get the railway company to grant a few concessions to the city the matter would be helped considerably. He further stated that should the city care to do so it 'can make things rather uncomfortable for the B. R. l.. and P. company
 Members of the Real Estate board who met with the commission were J. K. Broekman. acting chairman; A. A. Gambil1, S. Carl Enslen, I. z. Beatty, Henry, Going. E. S. Allen. II. M. Henderson, H. s.

while sufficient other carriers had signified their willingness to settle on this basis to bring the total to 65 per cent of the national mileage.
 Southern Calls Meeting
 It was expected that little time would be lost in the negotiating by the roads and the unions looking to actual signature of the peace pact The only railway with headquarters here, the Southern railway system, announced today that such a meet ing had ben called for Saturday.
 While the losses due to the coal and railroad strike have been consid- erable, Secretary Hoover said, they are easily over estimated.
 Miners wages lost in the five months of the strike is not correct basis of the estimation of the total loss" he said, "because over a pe- riod of IS months we will probable consume approximately the same amount of coal. In other words, the miners will work more days in the week and produce more coal in the next six or eight months than they would have produced if there had been no strike and thus the wage roll of the next six or eight months will be larger and will, in a considerable degree, compensate the loss during this suspension.
 Loss May Be Smaller
 "The real loss would lie more in the loss of productivity in industries that have, or might have, to close down as a result of the coal strike. If all of our industries can be kept in motion, the loss will be much less from the coal strike than is cur- rently estimated.
 4The greatest loss today is the one being met by the farmer as a result of the railway strike. The export of farm products has been seriously interferred by the inability of the railways to transport produce.
 'The inability to transport manu- factured products will create some degree of loss but not so serious as that to agriculture. There are other losses that must be counted into the national balance sheet such as the damage to the railways, the extra charges which they have been put to, the cost of keeping the mines open and maintaining them during the period of suspension, and a hum dred other items that are of inn portance. In the broad view. how ever, if we can get back to business, if we can secure a resumption of transportation and rapid distribution of coal and agricultural produce, we will not have received such an eco- homie would as cannot be very quickly recovered from. We will probably not be on such a high plane of business prosperity during the next six months as we would have been had the strikes not taken place
