Railroads Withdraw Petit tiOn To Boost Switch
 ing Charges
(Gadsden Bureau.)

GADSDEN, Ala. August 25.-No- tice was received here Monday that the Southern, L. & N., Nash Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis and the Alabama Great Southern railroads had withdrawn their pe- tition to the Alabama Public Service commission for permission to cancel certain switching charges between Gadsden, Alabama City and Attalla and substitute therefor road haul rates. It was proposed to cancel existing class and commodity rates between the three cities, the cross town switching charge of $7.20 per car and the reciprocal switching charge of $2.25 between Gadsden and Attalla. The proposed new rates would have double the freight in many instances and would have particularly affected manufactur- ing plants drawing their raw material supply from the district.

CHURCHES CALLED. TO MOBILIZATION
 AGAINST WARS.
Federal Council Plans
 Demonstration On Armi- ta5 stice Day

sa. WASHINGTON, August 25.-Des- ignating Armistice Day, November Il, as Mobilization Day for world justice
 and world peace," the commissioner on international justice and good will of the Federal Council of Churches to- day called upon all churches and con ' gregations in the United States to launch on that day a constructive
 drive toward a warless world"
 The churches are urged in the call issued by the council to plan next month definitely. and unitedly" for the holding of great mass meetings on iArmistice Day as rallying point for ! the discussion to accomplish "the { stupendous task of overthrowing the
 war system of the world and to out law and banish war"
 ! To Invite Cooperation It is suggested that the churches
 invite the cooperation of other bodies including chambers of commerce, labor
 organizations and American Legion 9posts.
 In addition to Armistice Day mass meetings, the call proposes that ser mons on the purpose of the peace mobilization" be preached from the pulpits of all American churches on 1 Sunday, November 9, during the week preceding it is also suggested that group study and discussions be organ ized to consider specifically such ques- tions as the costs of war, the alterna-
 tives ahead, the signs or hope" under
 which are included the world court the League of Nations, and the Dawes
 report; and the next step toward justice and peace based on law" Sun day school classes also are proposed as a medium through which the peace idea should be stressed.
 ' Meeting Challenge i, Discussing the call, Bishop Charles s, H. Brent of western New York, vice chairman of the council, declared that i. s@swere it not for the inherent business
 of the churches to mobilize all the re- sources of the Christian population to
 this end, they would be forced to it
 by the criticism and demand of state
 ment soldiers and private citizens" The
 churches, he said, are "but making the
 venture which they are challenged to
 make"
 Dr. Sidney l.. Guliek, secretary of
 the council, declared the proposed
 mobilization for peace is, we believe, far more constructive and of infinite ly more importance for the nation"
 than the war departments plan for a defense test on September 12.

berjack, kingfish, pompano, mackerel
and grouper belong to the gulf and
ocean. The vastness of the water
protects them.
But what of the fresh-water fish,
particularly the large-mouth bass?
Lack of fishing regulations is rap
idly depicting this game fish, a real
prize to land. The seine, net, trap
and spear are fast spelling the
death-knell of the sporting fish
dearest to the heart Of every Florida
visitor and native.
Florida needs fishing laws for it's
inland fish, needs them quick. 1t
is up to the sportsmen and legisla-
tors to take action.
1t is a rather cruel assertion but
the ratttlesnake and water mocassin
are greater aid to the welfare of
wild life in that state than the game
laws.
Notwithstanding the metal leg
protectors, tough and loose trousers.
emergency kits for snake bites, the
average hunter doesn't enthuse much
over Florida.
The quail, wild turkey, deer, bear
and bobcat for that reason should
thrive long and we'll, especially in
the southern part of the state.
Snakes, warm weather and lack
Of ice are three big reasons in saving
Florida's game supply.
