Business Urged to
Oppose Repeal Of
Esch-C -Cummi1ls Act
Thorn Declares Measure Is
Necessary to Guarantee
Adequate Transportation;
Hits at Unions Strikes.

Business men of the country were
urged to oppose the proposed repeal
OF the Esch- -Cummins transportation
act by Alfred P. Thorn, general coun-
sci for the Association of Railway
Executives, in speech last night be-
fore the National Industrial Traffic
League at the Hotel Commodore.
Mr.. Thorn was the principal speaker
at banquet given in honor of the
delegates to the annual convention of
the league, which brought big shippers
here from all parts of the country.
"The Esch Cummins bill was the re-
suit of twelve years Of effort" Mr..
Thorn said, "and was passed to guaran-
tee the earnings necessary for the
roads to provide adequate transporta-
tion. The repeal of this bill would
throw the railroads back into busi-
ness condition based on uncertainty.'"'
The speaker urged the passage of4leg.
!slation which would make unions and
individuals of unions liable. for dam
ages as the result of strikes "a r
AS spokesman for the heads of. the
railroads he said: "If we had
q law which called for unions and in
dividuals being sued for triple dam
ages if they entered into q conspiracy
to prevent uninterrupted transportation
by the railroads, which could be col-
lected by shippers and passengers, we
would have no more strikes. No man
or body Of men have right to inter-
rupt the nations transportation.
"The recent election has brought the
railroads of the country face to face
with an era of doubt and uncertainty"
He attributed the upset in the last
election to the low prices of farm
products, high price of labor and the
highest freight rates in the history Of
transportation. Repeal of the Esch-
Cumins act would preclude the lower
ing rates, he said.
The convention will end to-day with
g business meeting.

Lady Astor Is Reelected to
Parliament In Hard Contest
Captain Brennan. Labor Cam
didate, Finishes Second;
Balloting Corresponds
Closely to 1919 Victory

PLYMOUTH. Nov. 15 (By The Asso-
ciated Prcss). Lady Astor was re-
TUNED to Parliament to-day for the
Sutton division of Plymouth In an cleo
tion which resulted in harder fight
thar when she first was sent to West
minister to represent her constituency.
A notable point in the balloting was
how nearly the number of votes for
and against her corresponded with the
1919 election. To-day Lady Astor
polled. 1924 votes, while in 1919 she
was given 1895. Captain G.. w. Bren-
nan, the Labor candidate, had 1o,83l
to-day as against 1892 for the same
party's candidate in 1919, while to-
days vote for the Independent Con-
servative was 4,643, as compared with
Abs in the 1919 bye-election.
Party lines counted fer little to-day.
The personality of Lady Astor and her
social policies were the main features
of the contest. The comparatively
smal} vote, which was badly polled, was
surprise TO the Conse rvstiyes. who
opposed Lady Astor and who thought
by running another Conservative
against her they would insure her de-
feat.
BY splitting the party votes Lady
Astor lost many Conservative ballots,
but she made compensating gains from
the Labor and Liberal camps. The
threat of prohibition in the liquor con-
troll bill Lady Astor supported was the
spearhead of the fight against her.
After the result of the balloting had
been declared tonight Lady Astor said
that her fight had been straight one
with Labor, or some of the I.aborites.
and she was sorry that it had not been
longer fight. Nevertheless she was
delighted at having won.

THE BEST ADVER TISEMENT.

THE paper used for. business stationery in this
country has grown steadily better This is partly
due to the influence of the advertising of bond
papers, and partly to the American business
mans greater appreciation of the effect of sta.
tionery on business.
Good stationery is an inexpensive form of
advertising The effect of such advertising is
increased if the paper is of quality easily rec,

CRIME IS LESS

Montgomery. July 1s.-(Special.)- Investigations conducted by the Montgomery county grand jury dur ing the past week convinced it that there Is less crime in this section now than at any time in it's written history, according to the report sup- mitted to Judge Walter B. Jones Thursday. The grand jury returned 45 indictments after Investigating 60 cases and examining 104 witt nesses.
 Less crime and disorder exist in Montgomery county today than 3. any period of its. written history" said the grand jury's report. Amer icanism seems to be reasserting it. self respect and obedience and order and law being the natural result. Tha criticism of the officers of the law for laxity in it's enforcement is, we believed. uncalled for. We find every official active and vigilant in the discharging of their duties and read,. and willing at all times.''

BIRMINGHAM WILL
 PLACE NEW MAKE
 OF PIPE ON SALE
Machines for Manufacture Under DeLavaud Process Are About Ready
 to Start

In the very near future Birming- ham is to place on the market a new kind of high pressure pipe. This will be made under the de Lavaud process by machines instead of the old pro- cess with sand, rope, etc.
 The de Lavaud process pipe is thinner and lighter than the present style and is claimed to stand much greater pressure. Four of the ma- chimes, which are being installed at the North Birmingham plant of the United States Pipe company. are about ready to operate. hence the first manufacture of thls pipe is apt 10 take place any day.
 The trade is much interested in the new pipe. demonstrations of which have been made before the American Water Works association at the Bur lington rlant of the United States Pipe company.
 The de L.avaud pipe. It Is declared, will prove a formidable competitor of steel pipe in oil line construction. It is claimed to have the pressure strength of steel while, being of cast iron, its lasting qualities in all sorts of soils are relied upon.
 National Pipe company, Birming ham, is understood to have secured rights to make this pipe through sub lease of the patent rights leased by the U. s. Ppie from the Canadian owners.
 Price Not Named.
 No price scale has ye; been made on tho de Lavaud pipe, SC far as local concerns are appraised. They will not be announced, in all propability, until the new pipe Is thoroughly tested and large production has become feasible.
 High pressure pipe plants have all the work they can do. Indications point to steady and full or near full operations for remainder of the year ana possibly into winter.
 Birmingham base remains at $37. In the east extraordinary demand has brought higher prices to the fore, for belated customers.

CITIZENS OPPOSE
 CHANGE OF ROUTE
Rerouting of the Montgomery Highway Condemned by
 Patton's Chapel Citizens

Resolutions condemning the pro- posed change in the route of the Montgomery highway were adopted at well attended meeting of citi- zens residing in the vicinity of Pat tons chapel. Several speakers dis cussed the proposition and all were strongly opposed to the change. M. R. Patton presided. The resolutions follow;
 We have learned that an effort Is being made to change the location of the Montgomery highway so as to run through Shannon. Oxmoor and Hardwood, following the old Louis ville and Nashville right-of- way. The cost of the new project will be enormous if permitted from the fact that said proposed road will have to cross the Louisville and Nashville railroad main line at least four times, thereby mourning many death traps.
 This route is fraught with many dangerous curves which endanger human life. There Is in the proposed road cut at Brooks gap which will incur such an enormous expense to both state and government as to make 1t out of reason. There are also many dangerous fills, one of them Is to be 60 feet high. This route will call for at least six bridges. all or WnlCn VIII pc dcTosS SltSdihS Lhte have, high water mark.
 "It will cost as much to build these bridges as 1t would to pave the present road to the limits of Jeffer- son county. New Hope mountain, which is as dangerous as Shades mountain, lies in the path of the pro posed road. It has not been disputed that the proposed route will be four miles longer than the present road. I.t r14srf4a Engineered by Messrs. Gwin and Batson) already paved six miles of it's length to the top of Shades noun tain and the road is graded and gray eled the remainder of the way and all culverts built and all streams bridged to where the present road would join the proposed road.
 At the present time there is un- der construction a bridge across the Cahaba river costing more than $40, ,000, which will be of little use to the county If the road goes the proposed route. There is tremen- dous amount of traffic. both private and commercial over the present road Some trucks haul as much. if not more than 10 tons at one load.
 Shelby county cannot build her part of the proposed road, but she can finish the already graded road. The board of revenue of Shelby county favors the present route as it goes through the center of the county and the proposed road only cuts one corner of the county and at an enormous expense. The present road runs through thickly populated districts, whereas the proposed road goes through barren country owned by large companies.
 "Therefore, the proposed road would be longer, more expensive, more dangerous and not where the people want it."
