Alabama Farm Bureau Feder- alton Urges Congress to Ac- cept Forod Bid-Fight Starts on Power Company
By FRED Fl. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau The Age-Herald, 22I2 First National Bank Building


 Montgomery, February 18.-(Spe- cial. )-Entry of the Alabama Pow CT company into the list of bidders for Muscle Shoals has caused Ala bama to perk up and prepare to watch fight of magniture seldom seen in this state, according to indi- cations al the capitol, following the submission of the company's bid to the Secretary of War.
 Friends of Henry Ford's offer have already started the fight in opposi- tion to the Alabama Power company. The Montgomery chamber of com merce and the Alabama farm bureau federation have already adopted res- olutions opposing the offer of the Alabama Power company and urging Congress to accept the Ford proposal.
 Information reached the capitol to- day that citizens of the Muscle Shoals section proposed to continue to stand by the Ford offer and to stand by it to the end, going so far as to urge Governor Kilby to call an extra session of the legislature for the removal of certain exemptions granted to the power companies in the past This information which came from Florence, was to the effect that petition was in course of pre- paration which called upon the gov ernor to assemble the legislature without great delay for the purpose of taking such action as would aid in the fight for the acceptance of the Ford offer.
 Legislative Action
 This has recalled to the minds of state officials and legi islators a mes sage of Governor Kilby to the legis- lature during the closing days of the special session of 1921 which urged that power be given to the governor, as the representative of the state, 10 join in the proper movement for the disposition of the governments hold ings at Muscle Shoals to the interests which would develop them for the benefit of the state and nation. This message was followed Immediately by resolution granting this author ity to the governor.
 Friends of the Muscle Shoals de- velopment in the legislature opposed the resolution, expressing the fear that it would have the effect of Geterring the development rather than enhancing it. After several confer ences, Governor Kilby reached the conclusion that if the friends of the development did not want the plan he would not insist upon 1t. The reso- lution was allowed to die on the cal endar of the house.

 The suit asks that temporary in- junction be granted to restrain union miners from continuing activities aimed at closing so-caIled wagon mines of the state and Federal Judge A. B. Anderson set Wednesday for hearing on temporary order. The plaintiff owns the Peacock coal mine in Knox county.
 It is charged in the bill that, act irg under direction of the policy committee of the international cr- ganization district board, members of the union "advised, instructed, eu couraged and commanded" members of the union to assemble in large bodies and mobs and to proceed to the various coal mines known as wagon mines and to demand of the operators that they cease operating said mines, and to threaten said op- orators with personal violence and the destruction of their property if they did not cease immediately"
 The plaintiff said that an injunc- ton order made applicable to the mine owned by her would not be et- fective and afford sufficient protse- ton. for the reason that the actions of inobs at other mines terrorize the employees at her mine as we'll"

 Prohibition Forces Active
 Many persons have been wondering what activity Is being shown by the Anti Saloon league in the guberna- torial campaign. No evidence has developed to indicate that 1t Is talk ing any part whatever in any state campaign. However, it is generally understood that the Anti-Saloon league Is sincerely and actively in- teTebtSu III tHo lAkHl TOT HlemD6TSHlp In the legislature and that persons who believe in the present prohi- bition laws are being urged to vote against any man who may favor any modification in the law.
 While members of the Anti-Saloon league do not believe any great num- ber of people now favor changes in the laws, the organization has indi- cated that no chance will be taken and that this question must be brought before the prohibition voters in order that they may understand which of the candidates for posi- tions in the legislature may be counted on to vote against any changes in the prohibition laws and which of the candidates may be ex- pected to favor changes.

OPEN AIR RADIO
 CHURCH SERVICES
 TOBEG|N TONIGHT.
Capitol Park Will Be Scene of Complete Religious Program Each
 Week

Open air church services by radio will be conducted every Sunday night at Capitol park beginning tonight.
 The services will be sent from the broadcasting station of the Alabama Power company, while the receiving equipment at the park will be in- stalled by the Bernheim Electric company
 A powerful simplifying device will be used so that the services can be heard and enjoyed by as large a crowd as the ampitheatre will ac- commodate.
 The church services to be sent broadcast tonight will be conducted by the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, of which Dr. J. M. Broadly is pastor. Dr. Broadly will appear at Capitol park at o'clock when he will formally announce the opening of the Sunday night feature, after which he will go to the broadcasting station where the services will begin at S:3o o'clock.
 The Alabama Power company has found that the Sunday night re- ligious services are the most popular feature of their radio work and espc- cial attention is accordingly being given to making them a success. It was felt that it was important to make these radio services available even to those who did not possess radio receiving equipment, hence the inauguration of the park services.
 The churches have been lending their cooperation in making the Sunday night services a success and so far the sermons and music sent cut by radio have been very in spring and helpful.
