 Birmingham Rolling Mill Resumes
 Tho pudding 6epa: tInent of the Birming- ham rolling mill sterted up yesterday morning, and it is stated that the entire plant will be in operation by the end of this week
 The rolling mill closed down at the be- ginning of the holidays and remained idle until yesterday. Lack of a supply of coal is said to have been the cause of the mill continuing idle so long.
