INDUSTRIAL CALM
ALONG ALL LINES
6road-Gauee Railway Up Lookout
Mountain Is Contemplated for
Near Future.

Chattanooga June 4.-(Special)-T
week just closing has been a very dun
one in financial and Industrial circles.
Probably after the spring it was only a
calm, for during the entire week there
was not a semblence of big transaction
or the announcement by a firm Of any
thing new in the Industrial lines.
A broad gauge railway up Lookout
mountain Is one of the many changes
being contemplated for the old historic
mountain. Although the plan has not
reached any definite form it is said that
there is plenty of capital here to back
the enterprise.
The meeting of the Tennessee bankers
here this week proved to be very inter-
esting and a large crowd of out of town
people were attracted to the city by 1t
during the first part of the week.
There is no change in the Chattanooga
iron market The sales for the week
have been light. No change for the next
few weeks is anticipated but it is thought
that the market will look upward early
in the fall.

did it ever occur to you that the
American pawnshop is the ordnance de-
partment of the average American
crook?" :
That question, addressed by a man who
was a gentleman in manner if not in
character, startled an Age-Herald re-
porter few days ago as he stood look
ing into a pawnshop window on one OF
Birminghams thoroughfores.
The man who asked the question is one
of the most widely known crooks" on
the continent. He is known to the police
of all the great American cities. HIS
clean cut features, in profile view, adorn
the Rogues gallery. Roguery has been
his trade for thirty years. In that time
he has had his ups and downs. Counter
feiter gentleman burglar, confidence man,
forger and craftsman, he has gone all the
gaits, spending a few years behind the
prison bars of northern state peniten-
tiary, where he got remission OF sem
tence for good behavior" For the last
two years he has been out on good be-
havior" and he says, and the police be-
lieve, he has not in that time attempted
to turn a wheel"

mind I'd try it. l had been gambling and
had lost all my money in a house not
thousand miles from Park row. The

INDUS TRIAL NEWS

Furnace operators complain about the
scarcity of labor about the stacks, This
scarcity is accounted for by the fact that
negroes prefer to work in the mines in
summer rather than work in the heat. The
mines are now filling up with negroes,
who during the winter and spring find
employment at the furnaces.
Coal production is increasing and the
market will soon be overstocked, 1t is
said This is the first summer in several
years when there has not been a cessa-
ton of mining operations the latter part
of June.
A dispatch from Springfield, Ill, saws;
THE Illinois coal operators this afternoon
declared their contract with the Illinois
Mine Workers union null and void after
June 30. on which date all mines in Illinois
will close for an indefinite period. The
meeting developed a great display of
feeling against the miners union. SIXTY
thousand men will be forced out
The opinion has obtained in some quar-
tiers In the Birmingham district that the
closing of the mines in Illinois would slim
ulate the Alabama coal market But as
Illinois coal does not compete in the
southern markets with the coal mined in
this state 1t is not easily seen how IL
will effect Birmingham.
