.ENSLEY PAPERS
 ARE NOW FIGHTING
Trouble Arose Over Closing Up
 of Street Crossing
THE CITIZENS TAKE A HAND
Enterprise Prints Several Cards At tacking the Herald and It's Posi- ton in Regard to the T. c. l.'s
 Recent Decision.

The two weekly newspapers out at Ems ley have crossed swords. and battle royal is in progress The last issue of the Herald is filled with editorial shafts hurl- ed in defense of it's position, while the Enterprise, coming out the same day, at tacks the Herald with no mincing words.
 The trouble arose from the recent ac- ton of the T. C.. I. 6 R. R. Co, in de- ciding to close up the crossing at 17th street. The crossing has always been open, has come to be used quite frequently by the workmen passing to and from the mills.
 The Enterprise thinks that the closing Of the crossing will be the ruination of 17th street and scores those who think differently, while the Herald thinks prop- erty values will be enhanced by allowing the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company to do what is to it's own advant- age in the matter.
 Each paper has sought champions among Ensley's citizens, and the Enterprise pub fishes signed statements uphoiding It's stand.
 The Herald has a letter from Mayo! Scott saying that the closing of the cross ing will result in an increase of the vol ume of business among the dealers oi that thoroughfare" Some other business men and property owners on the street talk In about the same strain. Among them are c. C. Jotherow, E. B. Pennington, Vert heimer & Co.,, and Rogers 6 Hurey.
 But the Enterprise gives letters de- nouncing not only the corporations ac- ton, but also any paper that will defend such action D. W. Morris & Bro, say in the Enterprise:
 "We feel .Aat any newspaper lending it's influence, no matter how feeble it may be, to the tearing down of one part of Ensley that another part may be bene- fitted. should be boycotted and all sup port cheerfully withdrawn. We empha- size the fact that we are hostile to s)i agencies advocating the closing of the Seventeenth street crossing, and regard all efforts to do so as an imposition upon the people at large.
 This firms words are seconded by Hugh Boyle, A. D. Hook, Wilson & Lindsay, and several others.
 The whole community seems to be work ed up over the matter and everybody is taking a stand one way or the other One man wrote to the Herald to stop his pa per, saying that he had had enough ot it, while the Herald says editorially that it has as much right to express its opinion as those on the other side and that IL will do 1t boldly and fearlessly.
 Both papers claim they are working for the best interests of the community et large and each Is persistent in the stand 1t has taken. How the matter will finally turn out cannot be now foreseen.

STRIKE WILL NOT
 AFFECT THE SOUTH If Anything Birmingham Dis- trict Will be Benefited MAY SUPPLY THE NORTH Industries of fhis District Have Never Been in Better Condition, and
 the Trouble in the North
 Cannot Change 1t. -
MAY SUPPLY THE NORTH

Since the failure of the Northern strikers and steel magnates to reach any agreement was announced the question of the effect of the strike on this dis trict has been talked of again. fesr was announced yesterday, when the state ment that the fight was to be to- 6 1ln- ish was made, that the Birmingham dis trict would now suffer.
 A general investigation of the sunjt ct and query of prominent iron men of the city tended to declare the fear unfound- ed It Is not believed that the district will be affected, even should the great contest continue for a year or moro.
 One prominent industrial authority, in speaking of the question yesterday oven went so far as to say the Birmingham district would be benefited by the strike.
 "If the strike continues for an extend- ed length of time" said he, i've will find this district forced to supply the greater part of the United States with all the material used in manufacture of iron and steel. In that case we would be- % forced to add many industries to those already established and would be forced to increase all plants and mines now in operation.
 '.But even if this does not come to pass we will be benefited to a great extent in that we will win trade from people now buying from the companies whose works are closed by the striking men. When once we win this business 1t will be rath- CT difficult to take it from us Thus we will reap much of the benefit l allude to in my general statement regarding the effect of the fight
 .srhe industries of this district have never been in better condition than they are at the present time, though in the past they may have been more acrive, We are receiving much new trade and this, added to that held for the past few years Is making the companies of the district assume an independent position. When we are in a position to assume fully this position of independence we will then be where no one will be able to rouse our ire by dashing red flag in our faces.
 NO, the authorities of the industrial companies of this district all are agreed that we will not be affected by the strike except in a beneficial manner" f6 t
