DEADLOCK BROKEN FOR SCHOOL BOARD
 APPOINTMENTS
Porter and Moore Probable Choice of Commission With Only One Dissenting
 Vote in View

R. A. Porter and Robert R. Moore are slated for appointment as mem bers of the city school board at the commission meeting next Tuesday t was learned on reliable information yesterday.
 Despite the fact that Commissioner Mary Echols Is reported to have said she would stand pat on the recom- mendation of L. sevier, president of the Manufacturers association, 1t Is apparent that the other four cont missloners have different ideas about the appointments and persistent ru- mors arc that R. A. Porter will be named with R. R. Moore.
 This apparently brings to a close one of the most strenuous battles for political supremacy of city wide im- portanoe ever waged here. Hundreds 8 or citizens have visited and phoned all the commissioners for weeks past In an endeavor to have one of their friends appointed to tho two vacan- cies.
 To Mrs. Echols tho law gives the right to recommend her choice for
 
 the commission as whole Is given the power of appointment. Reports from secret conferences and later by personal confirmation, Commissioner William l.. Harrison held out for Robert R. Moore. president of the state federation. as one of the mem bers
 Thus. 1t appears, Mrs. Echols agreed to recommend Moore provided L. seVier. whom she would also roc ommend would be appointed. All four of the commissioners baked at this. II Is understood. which caused delay of week in naming the hoard members.
 Now from reliable sources comes the Information that whether or not Mrs. Echols recommends Mir. Moore and Mir. Porter. the board will strongly consider them and no doubt make them the choice of the commis sion.

 STRIKE SITUATION
Harrison Addresses Strikers at Ben Hur Hall, Where Re- ports Are Received From
 Strike Area

Several thousand striking shopmen yesterday afternoon heard William L. Harrison, city commissioner and former president of the state fedora tion of labor, and Lewis Bowen. sec retary of the organization. at a mass meeting at Ben Hur Hall.
 The two labor leaders delivered general labor talks which were heartily received by the men.
 Reports that negroes who had been Iured to Arkansas and Missouri by local labor agents with promises of good jobs. but with the intention of taking the places of striking shop men. were beginning to drift back to Birmingham were received at la- bor headquarters yesterday.
 A committee appointed to investi- gate the reports that railroads were shipping negroes out of this city for use as strikebreakers in other sec tions, reported that a strict watch had been kept and that apparently no other efforts have been made to induce other negroes to depart.
 Another mass meeting will be held Monday afternoon. It was decided to open the Saturday afternoon mass meeting with prayer but efforts to obtain Birmingham minister having failed because all who were invited had previous engagements it was dispensed with. The committee was instructed to have a minister deliver an invocation at the Monday mass meeting.
 Executive committee of the six al- lied shopmen unions will meet this morning at o'clock to discuss the general situation.

object to the question method-can- didates as well as the public-are vastly In the minority.
 "The large percentage of both can didates and voters realize that. in pursuing these methods, the league is rendering an invaluable public ser vice. And we feel that when the time comes to vote and all that long list of names stares the citizens in the face, they will feel, If they have in position to judge the office seekers and able to select the best man in the running.
 Open Method
 Tt is the newness and fearlessness of the query method which has been questioned, the criticisms being made. in large majority. by those ignorant Of what we do: those who have never attended a meeting, or a small number of persons suspicious of everything out of the established order.
 Tt changes the political slant from star chamber proceedings to that of candor. openness; and it surely is true that the kind of man who hasn't thought about his job or planned any thing for the people in advance. cor tainly has no right to be an office holder.
 The most hopeful sign of prog ress is that the thing is happening over the whole country. Not only are questions being asked in regular club meetings, but special mass meetings are being arranged so that the com munities affected may know what they are doing when they are voting for man or woman.
 How far reaching this is can be judged by an article appearing in the last issue of the Woman Citizen, from the pen of Mrs. Maud Wood Park, national president of the League of Women Voters. She says. in part
 New Campaigning
 Such questioning Is an education to hearers. It shows the dawn of 8 new kind of campaigning for which the woman voter who Is forming her political beliefs intelligently and Is not bound by blind party loyalty. is responsible. It Is not too much to say that the woman voter wants to know what a side is more than sine wants 10 hear what the other side Is not; and objections to league questionnaires and mass me eeting ex- positions are without foundation.
 No right minded candidate can do anything but welcome the opportu- nifty to put his beliefs before the public. League tactics are setting a new standard for campaign speeches "a high standard---a standard of honesty and candor."

It has been the plan of the league for some time to query candidates as to their position on various measures; what they plan to do if elected. and their attitude concern ing laws for the benefit of women and children.
 Leagues Position
 And thereby hangs a lot of things which the members of the League of Women Voters want to make plain.
 They declare.
 Lately We have been hearing that we subject candidates to quizes and grillings-the idea being that we put them, so to speak, on the mat. We get this because of our custom of asking questions which we feel are vital issues. and concerning which We have the right to ask before we cast our votes.
 Some people seem to think that it is our pleasure and delight to summon candidates, merely to ask them the most embarrassing ques- tions.
 Nothing could be further from the truth. The real facts are that the League of Women Voters never has
 
 ture, and does not permit such ques- tions to be propounded. The quer- ies we make are upon subjects re- lating to the interest of the public, and upon which we wish enlighten- ment.
 How can we learn unless we ask questions of these men who are pre- sumably going into office to serve us?
 ITO our programs we always in- vite the public. and unless we are taking up specific issue-as in the Muscle Shoals debate-outsiders are permitted to rise and ask the candi- dates questions they desire"
 Same Everywhere
 Mrs. Richard F. Johnston. presi- dent of the league, talking yester- day said:
 We would like the public to know that our queries are no more press ing than those which women of other communities are asking their candi- dates. In practically every state and city in the union, the women voters are thus finding out how their would be officeholders stack up for pub lie position. Alabama women are by no means waging a different cam paign from their sisters elsewhere.
 Before women were given the bal lot. we made the promise that if we were recognized as citizens, we would not vote blindly, not merely sign on the dotted line. but that we would ballot thoughtful1y and pur- posefully. That Is what we arel try ing to do, and fortunately those who

In answering the questions as to why tho Torrens system should be adopted In the state of Alabama, W. B. Leddy, Jr.. gives 12 answers for Alabama adopting the Torrens system.

POULTRY SHOW
TO BE ONE OF
BEST IN SOUTH
Armory Hall, With 1000 Feet
of Floor Space, Be Adequate
For Exhibits. ST.

The statement made time and time
again. that the poultry products OF the
United States is an asset vastly more
valuable than the wheat crop Of the ma
ton, is one which viii bear repeating
here.
The value Of our chicken and egg pro-
duction alone reaches the enormous total
of well beyond the billion dollar mark
annually.
Nor does this tremendous total include
the value Of the other domestic fowls
produced in such abundance year in and
year out throughout the country, such
as turkeys, ducks. guinea fowls. geese.
etc, the value Of which. conservative
statisticans estimate will run into ap-
proximateIy another half billion dollars.
And yet the ordinary layman regards
the industry Of poultry production as
one OF our minor pursuits.
Last fall, the poultrymen OF the ter
ritory Immediately surrounding Pensa-
cola, through the Escambia County Poul-
try association, put on poultry show in
this city, and in addition TO the disil-
lusfonment OF hundreds OF Pensacolians
who were skeptics about the poultry
ra ising possibilities Of this section, the
effect Of the show was electrifyinE to the
poultry producers themselves, and with
in the year which has passed, has also
had the very desirable effect OF more
than doubling the activities. consequently
the incomes, Of the poultrymen Of Es-
Gambia county.
And this effect is going to be wonder
fully enhanced by the second show OF
the poultrymen's association, which is
to be held December g.. I, s and 8.
Wonderful as last years show proved
20 be, the quarters in which 1t was held
were entirely inadequate, the equipment
for the proper handling and care of birds
was extremely limited and the funds
available for prizes and other incidentals
Of the show were also limited.
| This year. however. Armory hall, which
contains more than 1000 square feet OF
floor space. has been secured for the
show and there will be ample room, not
only for the convenient placement Of the
show coops, but also for the comfort OF
the. patrons and attendants at the show.
Five hundred new wire coops. of the most
modern type for keeping and showing
the birds entered, have also been secured,
and while not as much money as could be
used to advantage IN the conduct of the
show, has been pledged, more funds than
were available last year are now in
sight, which is enabling the management
Of the show TO augment prize values
Just so much.
In addition to numerous subscriptions
guaranteed to the. funds of the asso
citation by business firms and individuals,
