Events of the past week have given a
decidedly more hopeful turn to affairs
in Alabama. especially to the industrial
section around Birmingham.
Signing of truce in the coal fields
has resulted in most Of the striking
200 miners going back to work, at
least temporarily. Eventual settlement
of all difficulties between the miners
and coal operators over Interpretation
of the new coal code is expected as both
union leaders and operators presented

turned East this week that they be-
lieved all differences would be ironed

JACKSON, Miss, October 21-Mis-
sissippis political fued between Gov.
Mike Conner and the State Highway
Department has 1ared up again and
now threatens to block the chance of
the State to get an additional S10,-
coo COO from the Federal Government
for highway construction. The pro-
posed additional $4,000 900 Of Federal
recovery money would necessitate the
State giving notes to the United States
FOR 81 500 600.
United States authorities, according
to the information here. have already
approved the plan for the additional
$40 100000 for Mississippi. but the au-
thori2ation OF the Mississippi LegiS-
lature is necessary.
Gov. Conner. so far. has announced
no intention of calling a special session
of Legislature or even to poll the men,
berS by the direct plan
The State Highway Department not
only made a written request OF the
Governor to take steps to obtain the
additional $40 1000 goo, but also broad
cast through the State press the written
communication to the Governor. This
was at time his wife was i'll and he
was away from his Office on personal
matters.
Feud Dates Back to 1881.
The political feud dates back to the
eubeTnatOrial campaign Of 1881. when
certain Mississippi political interests re-
sented the support given by Huey Long
Of Louisiana to Conner in the cam
paign for Governor.
In the Mississippi Legislature, under
Gov Conners administration. strong

SALOON'S EVILS
FACE TABOO BY
ROOSEVELT
DiVorcing Manufacturer and
Distributor Problem OF
Liquor Trade Code
BY International News Service

President Roosevelt has ordered
a strict taboo on saloon day evils
in the drafting of regulations for
liquor control after repeal.
The Presidents informal ap-
prevail of an NRA distillers' and
brewers code as the basis for
control authority was given
with avoidance of pre-prohibition
whisky traffic bad features in
mind.
George N. Peek, who heads the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration said hearings will start
next week.
To Avoid Old Evils
Mr.. Roosevelt feels that proper
framing of a code can eliminate
old liquor evils to a large extent,
but has not yet indicated how far
he plans to 60 in this direction.
Certainly, he is anxious to avoid
all loopholes through which the
drys can attack the new program.
One of the important problems
Of the new regime will involve re-
lations between manufacturer
and distributor. In the old days
the close tie-up between these two
formed a target at which the dryS
directed telling attacks.
Undoubtedly, an effortt will be
made to divorce these two trade
elements entirely.
Retail Details Discussed
Another matter certain to come
up will be specifications for retail
distributing. Very probably there
will be regulations to prevent
drinking behind closed doors IN
the strict sense Of the phrase. The
drys won many a battle in their
march toward prohibition with
vivid descriptions Of drinking
dives" and curtained alcoveS.
There will be controversy, too,
over a drinking curfew. New
York's stringent liquor regulations,
closing liquor dispensing points at
3 a. M. has given Administration
leaders an idea.

Mrs. Ruby Simpson, member OF
the school board, who at budget
hearings earlier this year i'm
plored the county board to pro
vide sufficient money for schools
said today:
'The school board will do
everything possible to keep the
schools open for the full term.
1t IL possible that money will
be borrowed to carry out the
school budget plans. However,
the county board will have to
give its approval Of the loan"
