being followed by the United States Steel corporation in building its 100000 steel plant at Gary, Ind, all question as to the future development of the southern steel industry has been settled It is now matter only of energy and money to bring about vast development in the basic steel industry In the south, rivaling the steel interests in Pittsburg and Chicago districts"
 Need of Small Industries.
 The development of the past year ac- centuates the importance of concerted ac- tion to secure the location in Birmingham and vicinity of the smaller plants for diversified manufacturing. It is folly for us to shut our eyes to the fact that Bir- mingham is not securing her share of the smaller industries. With her central geographical location. her railroad facil- ities, and her cheap fuel, she offers more inviting opportunities than an yother city in the south. We need systematic, well-financed campaign to secure the es- tablishment of these smaller industries, which are safeguards against depression and hard times. The opportunities in various lines are many. Among articles which should be manufactured here, may be mentioned
 Machine tools. steam radiators. school and office furniture, aXles. agricultural instruments, electric supplies, benches, and tables, iron bedsteads, grates. wheel barrows, paper boxes, bags, axes, earth enware, window and bottle glass, hard ware, machinery brick making ma chinery and number of others.
 A Word for the Club.
 In conclusion l want to make plea for the Commercial club. It has shown what can be accomplished by organized effort, and a little encouragement. It is not as financially strong as it should be. It is competing, and somewhat success fully in results, with organizations in other communities, having much stronger financial support. In other cities funds are raised for promotion purposes in ad- dition to the revenues derived from the membership in the Commercial organiza- tons. In Birmingham we have been re- stricted entirely for promotion purposes

 Mr. Winder was connected with the seaboard several years ago. As president of the Sunday Creek company he has made great reputation, and as the Ryan syndicate that controls the Seaboard is developing SOO0OO acres of coal land it is believed a large share of MT.

significant tribute to the supremacy of Birmingham distirct and the most poten- tial indication of it's enduring prosperity was shown in the recent purchase of 15O, GOO tons of steel rails from the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. by the Hartman roads. Richard H. Edmonds, manager of the Manufacturers Record, in discussing this purchase well says:
 This is the most important movement ever made so far as it's worldwide in- huence is concerned in attracting atten- tion to the iron and steel interests of Ala bama. For many years it was claimed by the Northern iron people that Birming- ham would be confined to the making of pig iron.
 Now that the world has come to recog- nize the superiority of basic rail over the Bessemer rail, and that the success of the basic rail mill in Brming- ham has been followed by the building Of q great basic plant at Bethlehem, and is

She has been richly endowed with re- sources, but to achieve her rightful des- tiny she needs the energy, the patriotism and the cooperation of all of her people.

THE RAILROADS WANT
SHERMAN ACT REPEALED

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-The railways
and powerful shipping interests are
apparently uniting in an effort to OBJ
tain the repeal of h Sherman anti
trust act, in so far at least as it ap-
plies to traffic associations. This fact
is made apparent in a symposium pub
lisied in the current issue of the
Railway Age and participated in by
railroad president, governors, railroad
commissioners and representatives
of large shipping interests. The ship
pers and railroad men agree that the
Hepburn act brought some great ben
eits, h chief of which is the aboli-
ton of rebates.
