PLENTY OF IRON AND STEEL.
But the Port of Savannah Gets Little
of the Alabama Product.

Mr. w. r. Leaken has just returned
from a trip through Western Georgia and
Alabama. the latter part of which was
spent in Birmingham in an inspection Of
the iron and steel industries that are rap
idly bringing hat enterprising city to the
front rank of Southern municipalities.
Mr. Leaken says that the extent of these
works is a source of constant surprise to
those not familiar with them and that
the records show that they are to-day
more prosperous and successful than al
most any others in the country. While
works in other states are running on half
time or less, those in the vicinity of Biz
mingham are kept steadily on the go and
their products find ready and prof table
sale all over this country and abroad
Everything in the shape of iron, from
the crude pigs of the metal to the high
grade steel used in the construction Of
cruisers and battleshfps and the casting
of ordnance, is manufactured in these
ufacturing just as much of their
staple products as their capacity and
the endurance of their workmen, of whom
every possible applicant, for whom room
can be made, is given employment will
permit.
WI. A<CNihNAt iOliCNi tllclL bui d COiupdfd-
lively small percentage of this iron and
steel that is shipped abroad makes its
way through Savannah, other ports far
Their North and farther from the place of
manufacture being so favored by the rail-
roads that they get the business. The
reason of this lies in the valuable hold
ings of some of the roads at ports other
than that of Saannah and their consequent
desire to increase still further the value
of these holdings. In his opinion the steel
and iron industry in Alabama is destined
to increase Its proportions very largely
within the next decade and the ocean
freight business in these products will
increase in the same proportion.
1t would seem that some appeal to the
Interstate Commerce Commission or 9TH
er authority might properly be- made in
reference to this matter to the end that
a more equable scale of rates to all ports
be secured and Savannah get her just
share of the business. This is the plan
suggested by number of gentlemen who
have made careful Investigations on the
subject.
Mr.. Leaken was enthusiastic in his
praise Of the progressive spirit shown by
the people of the city, which the various
steel and iron works surround, and of the
material prosperity that was everywhere
evident. The Old boom days of the town
are over and in their place and stead have
come a solid and growing success. to
which of course, the steel and iron works
are the principal contributors

RETAIL CLERKS ORGANIZE.
Will Unite for the Protection of
Their Interests.


The retail clerks of Savannah have or
ganized a branch of the Retail Clerks In
ternational Protective Association. The
branch is known as Savannah Lodge, No
81. The organization was perfected by
the election of the following officers:
Presidential. w. Baughn.
Vice President-Max Lehwald.
Treasurer-J. p. Lee.
Secretaries-Sam Enzel, S. w. Parnelle
and w. Rowlinski.
Trustees-E. P. Terry, Julian Lax and
Mace Enzel
Guide-Sam Brown.
Guardian-WalterS chaffer.
The meeting at which the officers were
elected was a large and enthusiastic one
At present the lodge has only about IS
full fedged members, but there are a
number of applications in and those in
terested are confident that the lodge will
have a membership of fully 100 within
the next six weeks. The membership is
not restricted to any one line of trade
but is open to clerks in all the retail
trades, whether dry goods, clothing, shoes
or groceries.
When asked as to the purposes of the
order President Baughn said that it is in
tended for the interest and benefit of the
retail clerks in every way, both industri-
ally and socially In what particular man
ner the lodge would undertake to advance
the interests of the local retail clerks, he
felt the need of such an organization for
some time, he said, and he believed that
it would advance their interests in many
WAYS.
