ALABAMA CONSOLIDATED HAS
ALREADY ORDERED MATERIAL
FOR EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
IN PROPERTIES IN THIS DIS
TRIcT.

The Alabama Consolidated Coal and
Iron company is starting on important
development work that win require
an expenditure of about $1.500000.
When Joseph II. Hoadley of New
York, president of the Alabama Con-
solidated, and w. II. Knight, chief en-
gineer, visited the Birmingham district
two weeks ago for the purpose of in
specting the company's properties they
designed extensive Improvements, but
most of the plans were conditioned on
the election of Taft. Mr. Hoadley said
at the time that if Taft won as was
generally expected, Industrial develop
ers would find it comparatively easy to
raise money for betterments and eX-
tensions, but that If Bryan should win
business would have serious set back.
Now that the election is past and Taft
is to be the next President. Mr. Hoad-
ley is proceeding to make good his
promise based on the result of Noyem-
Der 3.
Vice President Guy r. Johnson in
charge of operations of the Alabama
Consolidated, announced YESTERDAY
these improvements:
A condensing plant at Ironaton to
cost $50 900, the material having been
already ordered for rush job.

ter of installing electricity in the coal

umentary evidence enough to convict him,
whereas if brought in others their re-
sponsibility would be left more to infer
enee than in his case, or would be held
liable merely as an associate in his il
legal acts.
Quotes From Official Reports.
"Any one who will take the trouble to
read his official report will see that Mr..
Van Hose is himself fully conscious that
his operations have been in the twilight
zone of doubtful legality. He expressly
states that in Texas no wholesaler can
openly join the association on account of
the law, although he hastens to add that
they are thoroughly cooperative and he
lists them among the faithful whom he
permits to purchase goods.
I'm one address he urges the manufac-
turec 10 go to the very limit of legal
safety, and states that his organization
goes as far as the laws will permit us
He grows wroth when any individual
manufacturer either arrogantly or heed
lessly declines to cooperate with these
organizations to the very limit of legal
restriction. These are his own words,
and they show the thin ice the defendant
in this case travels on when he is most
careful.
"When he and the mysterious special
representative get on the track of
wholesaler not cooperating to the dead
level demanded by Mr. Van Hoose it
would be strange if they did not &C.
casionally become confused as to where
the limit of legal safety was situated.
BY his own admission in his official re-
port one improper letter, even one inn
proper sentence, might at any time afford
ground for a successful prosecution re-
sulting, not only in the fine and impris-
onment of the officials and members, but
even worse, in the disrupture and break
ing up of the association.
II am in possession of numerous i'm
proper letters and a sufficient number
of improper sentences and l intend to
do all that | can, in my poor way, to call
the attention of the general public to the
condition that exists while seeking to OBJ
tain such redress as the law affords for
the unlawful and arrogant interference
by this man with my business. If that
shall indirectly result in the 'disrupture'
of his organization, whatever that may
be or in the other melancholy happenings
he refers to, these consequences were well
within his contemplation when he under
took so hazardous an employment and
agreed on his compensation for the risks
involved"
