ANNISToN, Ala, Aug. 15.-It was announced that the Alabama Pipe and Foundry company and affiliated com panies of this city have acquired three additional foundries in Gadsden. These foundries are the Coosa Pipe and Foundry company, the Agricola Pipe company and the Gadsden Pipe com pany. It was also announced that the same local interests have acquired full interest of the other stockholders in the Imperial Pipe company and Superior Pipe company, of Bessemer, and the Talladega company of Talladega.
 This is one of the most important mergers in pipe manufacturing circles of the United States that has occurred this year, it was said by officials here.
 It is proposed to organize all of these cast iron pipe foundries into one company to be known as the Alabama Pipe, company, with headquarters in Anniston.
 The Alabama Pipe company will own soil pipe foundries in Alabama, and also one water pipe foundry, known as the Lynchburg Foundry. They recent ly acquired the Rabe Pipe and Foun- dry compnay, of Chattanooga, Tenn.
 The officers of the local interests are Thomas E. KiIby, chairman of the board; W. F. Johnston, president, and c. H. Hamilton, vice president and gem eral manager.
 W. Nj. Byrd, Jr., of Chicago, will be affiliated with the new company as sales manager and director.

 On most other issues, the two. can didates are on fairly common ground, though Davis tinges his views with a more progressive color than Coolidge. Davis is for abolition of the injunction in labor disputes. Coolidge is silent on that question Both favor further tax reduction, though they do not agree as to the form of such reduction. Both are for the World Court. Both want another armament limitations confer erlce, though Davis stipulated he wants to see all nations invited to the next one. Both favor farm relief, Davis going a little further in his declara- tions than Coolidge who proposes a commission to investigate the question of permanent farm relief.
 But so far as the democrats are concerned all of these questions are incidental. They will not be swerved either by silence or catch phrases from .hammering on the scandal issues. At every pause the democrats will shout about the scandals.
