LABOR CONDITIONS IMPROVE, HAROLD
 SHOWS IN REPORT
More Than 1000 New Jobs Created in Past Month in District by Seven
 Industries

By far the greatest spurt of any
 month since the bottom of the in-
 dustrial depression last July was recorded in April by the official sur
 vey of the Birmingham district just completed by Secretary Manager Charles l.. Harold of the Birmingham 1 Civic Association for the United States department of labor The sur
 vcy, which reports the total of seven
 industrial and public utility corpor- ations of the district normally em- ploying 300 or more men, shows that
 on April 50 the aggregate of the
 seven concerns were 1t,766 as com pared with 10.09S on March 31 of this year. or an increase Of 1,66S em- F1oyes in the 30 days.
 This increase in one month amounts to l6,5 per cent, and inoi-
 cates, according to Secretary Harold, an indisputable return to more satis-
 factory business conditions.
 The greater significance of the re- turns for April may be grasped by l comparing the total number of em- ployes onathe pay rolls of the iden- tical corporations last July. the re- cegnized low water mark of the de- 1 pression The total then was 7.642 or an increase in 10 months of 4,l24 employees This is an increase for April over July of 54 per cent.
 The report shows 1,616 more em-
 pleyes in the four iron trade con- cerns for April than for March.
 The figures do not Include the Tennessee company, thls being re- ported from New York

WALKERFREEDOF
 GRANGER SHAVING
Fires at Posse Who Pressed Him-Freed on Second
 Trial

Henry Walker. Jr., negro, accused of killing Walter F. Granger. marshal of Tarrant City, was freed by jury before Judge William F. Fort In criminal court yesterday. The yer dict of not guilty was brought in by the jury at 5 o'clock after 1t had been out about six hours.
 The killing of Granger occurred early in 1920 when the officer &C., companied by several men went to the home of Walkers father to ar rest Walker on a charge of striking child. The negro did not deny the shooting on the stand but stated he thought a mob was after him and that he shot in self defense.
 At the first trial Walker was found guilty and sentenced to 25 years in the penitentiary. The sentence was reversed by the supreme court and a new trial ordered on the grounds that certain errors had been made by Judge H. P. Heflin in charging the jury.
 The second trial began Monday be- fore Judge Fort. The attorneys. Hugh Ellis for the defense and the special prosecutor. White Gibson. contested every inch of the points connected with the case.
 The jury only few moments be- fore 1t brought in its verdict had Judge Fort to repeat part of his charge dealing with the rights of a man in self defense in his own home The main charge of Judge Fort which was delivered when court convened yesterday morning consumed about two hours.

PAVED HIGHWAY IS
 LIKELY BY ACTION
 OF REVENUE BOARD
Batson'S Proposal Adopted. County May Take Over Maintenance of Mont
 gomery Highway

Jefferson county will likely take Montgomery highway and the state highway department will construct another paved road from Birmingham south toward Bessemer connecting with the trunk line at Pelham, as a result of the action yesterday of the board of revenue. The board ap proved the proposition and S. R. Bat son, member of the state highway commission from Jefferson county. will submit the matter to the next meeting of the highway body.
 Mir. Batson favors the proposal and will recommend it to the commission. The new road would give residents of the lower end of the county more direct connection with the Montgom- cry highway and would provide an- other thoroughfare for the county.
 The road which the state will be asked to pave, has long been con- sidered. It extends by Oxmore. Shan non and Hardwood, along the old route of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The road as proposed would turn east at Prestwood, striking the present highway probably at Pelham in Shelby county. It IS pointed out that this route eliminates the cross ing of Red and Shades mountains.
 The board considers the change a fair one. The county built the part of the Montgomery highway in the county and the state did not spend a cent on it. The county paid out $2oo,- 900 on the work with the understand ing that 1t would be reimbursed out of state and federal funds. The fed eral government paid its share but the state has not
 The second amendment to the state constitution specified that the s2o,- o0O 900 bond issue should not be used in paying for roads already built. The county built the road under the first amendment which was later de> clared unconstitutional. The highway commission Is now said to be strongly in favor of building another road in the county to make up for the amount the county lost in building the Mont gomery highway.
 Provided the state accepts the change. it will be necessary to con- struot about 12 miles of paving as compared with the six miles of paw Ing on the PfeaAHI louttHS. 'Ho county is planning to build a paved road from Bessemer to Hardwood out of it's next years bond sale. This would assure the residents of thata vicinity a short cut to the Montgom- cry highway.
 Mr. Batson made the proposal to the board yesterday in the form of letter and it was adopted on the recommen- dation of Jere Gwin, seconded by Lacey Edmundson. MT. Gwin esti- mated that the cost of maintaining the highway over the mountain will not exceed $500 year for at least 10 years. The county or the state must maintain the road or federal aid for further road work in the county would not be provided.

Such was the case last night at the ballroom of the Tut wiler hotel when the University of Alabama Glee club gave a concert before an audience of former students of the university and friends, who crammed into every available seat and occupied every inch of standing room. Appreciation of the efforts of 'he students was evidenced by almost incessant applause.
 The program was exceptionally well balanced but judging from ap- plause Stark Padgett of Hartford. carried first honors. Padgett is an original jazz pianist" and sang sey- eral of lis own compositions.
 The Novelty Five, an orchestra composed of Messrs. Martin, Ide, Well, Roseman and Padgett, also came in for stellar honors. The ex- eeptional playing by Knox Ide created considerable applause.
