Majestic summer theater was not a
paying venture, and even under the

the receipts were little over the ex-

took over the business it was prophe-

ENORMOUS INCREASE IN ENSLEY PAY ROLLS Steel Mill Alone Has Reached
 Qu arter Million 180 BARRELS OF CEMENT Used Daily In Construction Work Now Under Way-caIendar of Ensey
 churches-Boy Wanders
 From Home.
l8O BARRELS OF CEMENT

1; Ensley, April 5.-(Speeial )-No more certain indication of the many improve ments and general policy of enlargement of the steel mill recently inaugurated by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company can be obtained than the enor- nous increase in the monthly pay rolls. The plant in all departments Is being enlarged, improved labor saving machin- cry Is being installed wherever possible, and construction work of every kind and description is being pushed as fast as possible. To accomplish these various results 1t has been necessary to increase the working force in all departments, both skilled and common labor being added in large numbers.
 To relieve the situation which local conditions could not meet the company has found 1t necessary to import large numbers of Italians, Mexicans, Slavs, Hungarians, Poles and Russians. The increase in the number of men neces- sary to carry on the work has pushed the pay roll of the steel mill alone to the astonishing figure of quarter of mill lion dollars that for March being ap- proximately that amount. rms does not include the furnace division proper, though that and the steel mill are prac- tically one large plant. The above figures are most surprising, even to many peo- pie who live in the district, the increase having taken place so quietly and in such a short time. An idea of the enor- nous amount of construction work go- ing on may be gained from the fact that 1S0 barrels, or more than car load, of cement are used in one day in furtherng the work.

quietly than at first. Mrs. Robertson. who was taken from the burning build ing through window in her bedroom, was also burned, but not so severely as her husband. Nothing was saved and the loss falls heavily on this family, as they lost everything they had in a fire seven years ago. when the entire main street of this town was consumed by fire 1t will be recalled, too. at that time MT. and Mrs. Robertson had a close call from the flames.
 The home of J. M Martin, superintend- ent of the Prattville cotton mills, was also consumed this morning with most of the furniture. They saved only two or three trunks and piano. Mir. Martin also lost his home by fire several years ago. Both buildings were owned by MT. Mar tin and was partially covered by insur- ance. 1t was only by hard fighting of the volunteer fire company that the home of A. J. Hunt was saved. All the furni- ture was removed but the house was saved.
