2 BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALp,i

New York, a large iron master, stated that iron could be produced at Birming- ham on account of the natural conditions, cheaper than at any other point in the world This statement was not accepted by iron makers throughout the country, but it was confirmed by the declaration Of Col. A. K. Mcclure of the Philadelphia Times, who also visited Birmingham shortly after the visit of MT. Hewitt. Colonel Mcclure was again in Birmlng- ham about four months ago. He re- ceived a great welcome in the nature of public reception by the citizens. and de- clared in a public speech that the history of iron making in Birmingham during the last eight years had more than real ized the prophecy of Mayor Hewitt and himself. Now steel making in the Bir- mingham district is practically in the same status today that iron making was in ten years ago. It's future will be not less golden.
 Well, if steel making at Birmingham interests Alabama and the south, 1t equally interests Chicago as the great entrepot of the mighty west, which is geographically nearer to us than to New York and the eastern steel centers. A great deal of all kinds of business that we have been sending to the east will naturally come here. and our inter-rela- lions will grow constantly closer and closer; no doubt about 1t, and I know that I voice not only my own personal senti- ments, but those of [our best business men"

FATAL RIVER DISASTER.
STEAMBOAT WRECKED.
She Struck Pier Of the Railroad
Bridge and Sank.

The steamer Longfellow. OF tho Cincinnati,
Memphist& New orleans packet line, was
sunk by striking pier Of the Chesapeake &
Ohio railway bridge at Cincinnati Six
lives are known to have been lost. viz: David
Aldridge. an elderly man. Of Rome, N. Y;
CAPTAIN J. l.. Carter. clerk OF the boat Gus
Schcvant, the barkccper; James Miller, the
cOlored porter; and an unknown woman.
Several others were ut Arst reported missing.
aud 1t IL possible more are dead All the
records Of the steamer were lost with IL, and
no passenger list u ever left ashore.
The LOngtciow was scheduled 10 leave
Thursday Tor New Orleans, but the fog in the
river was SO dense that Captain WISE presl-
dent OF the packet company 10 which tho
steamer belong ordered her TO be held until
next morning. He also ordered the Hercules
Carroll to be ready to assist the steamer 10
pass the bridge piers. The Carol took posi-
tion at the stern aud left or port side of the
Iongfellow, ana assisted ia making the turn.
The boat went all right until within short
distance before reaching the piers OF the
Chesai exc & Ohio bridge. when the treach-
crous current began to interfere with the
boats management.
There was no fog. but IA the how OF the
bont pointed 10 the Kentucky shore the wind
blew the smoke Ia such way as to blind the
pilot. IL cannot see anything" he shouted
TO Captain John kirker. The captain called
back to run her south Of the pier. The pilot
signaled the engineer 10 stop. But the cur
rent was rentcss, and the Zig vessel with its
powerful consort with the pilots vision
obscured, was absolutely helpless. The dam
ger was apparent, and warning was given to
everybody. In moment the Longiellow
crashed against the pier and was crushed like
an egg.
Some o. the crew manned two life-boats OF
the Longielow and saved themselves and
the family of Captain John Miller, Of Mis-
sour, landing them In Covington, Ky. The
destruction OF the steamer was almost In
stan,anous. She hung to the pier while the
current striking her bow aud stern. broke
her In two, and In less than five minutes she
went down,

OUR INDUSTRIAL REVIEW.
WAGES BROUGHT DOWN.
o. 8. Glass Company Employees Get n ia,
Per Cent Reduction.

There is dissatisfaction among the ~,
ployes OF the United States Glass Comma,
over reduction OF wages. A movement, .
on foot among those affected to form ao
organization and join tho American fin,
glass workers union. an organization tia,
has been waging war against the COMPANY
for 20 months.
Last Saturday when the prossers' flnisbe,.
and gatherers OF factories X and d OF pu,s.
burg drew their money they found their pa,
was 10 per cent less. Sunday afternoon a, a
secret meeting plan OF organization was de-
cided on.
Some time ago q number o. the employa.
made application to become members of ibe
union as individuals. They were told ,h,,
they could not become members unless thry
applied in a body. The sunday meeting was
for the purpose OF cifecting an organisation
as required by the union. II this orgnu,sa.
tion is completed q strike is imminent Sew.
eral months ago the men were put on piece
work, which was Objectionable. Tn io
last saturday they were averaging Si2 a
week.
Monday the employees OF the same COMPANY
at Glassport were notified that the presset:
nnishers and gatherers would bo require to
work by the piece. They are working on
that basis, but expect reduction.
