LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
BIrmineham's Advantage.
Ie Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The ge-Herald.
 Ever since Birmingham was found ed the claim has been made, and so far as I am advised never controverted, that no where else in the known world does there exist all the materials from which iron is made in such proximity to each other and in such abundance as are found in this district
 In support of this claim 1t has not been exceptional for the furnace com panies here to sell iron in foreign markets when our domestic markets were depressed, or to place 1t in P1tts- burg in open competition with the fur naces of that district.
 These facts clearly point to the fur ther fact that the tariff cuts no real figures in the economic production of iron in the Birmingham district, hence the reduction of duties on impored iron products should not prove cause of depression to the iron business of this city,
 Ii is true that consumers may with hold orders in the face of possible falling market, due to reduction In the tariff, but what I wish to make as strong as words can express it is this: Birmingham has made iron in the past cheaper than elsewhere in the world. Birmingham can still do this, and if given the benefit that nature has thus bestowed upon it the future of this city is beyond estimate and its business in terests on as firm a basis as the iron hills that environ 1t.
 That a district with such resources and such advantages should be held back in it's progress through an arbi- trary condition that makes rival city a passing point is grossly unjustifiable and should at once be remedied.
 Of course it is best for all interests that the remedy for this should come voluntarily, but until it does come the location of industries here that are consumers of steel and rolling mill products will be impossible. There is need for more steel mills here. Every furnace in the district than can pos sibly do so should be urged, and aided if necessary, to convert it's pig iron into steel and then sell this product to local industries as cheaply as sold to any other parties. If this Is done Birmingham can and will have more than a quarter of million population within the next 10 years. This era is just ahead of Birmingham, for it Is certain that present arbitrary condi- tions will soon be dispelled and then indeed Birmingham will come into it's own. N. F. THOMPSON.

 The entire Meek family is united again, and as the wedding anniversaries Of Henry Meek and his father fall on the same date, next Tuesday, little banquet and celebration Is planned.

 Tuesday is the ninth anniversay of Meek and the thirty-fourth of his father.
 The elder Meek is an exceedingly youthful looking man to be the father of a son as old and big as Henry Meek. He looks more like an older brother.

TWO MEN ARE ARRESTED
 FOR DEfRAUDING METERS

Two arrests on unique charges were made by the sheriff department yester- day on warrants charging "defrauding Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company The persons arrested were ]. NJ Moore of 1500 Fifth avenue and Ed Glenn a former employe of the company, in whose house on Third avenue, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, was the headquarters of the Common Man s Literary club"
 The charges are that the company was defrau uded by system of by-paths around the meters. These bypaths it is alleged, were made by attaching wires to the wires leading to the meter, then running them around the meter and attaching to the wires leading from the meter to the house lights. The current would then pass through these wires instead of going through the meter
 Both arrests were effected by Deputy F.. Wilson. Moore made bond immediately, while Glenn was taken to the county jail. After a short sojourn there he succeeded in making bond and was released.

PLAN TO BUILD
 RADIATOR PLANT

The presence in Birmingham of agents of the American Radiator company, and the fact that they are planning for the acquisition of sites, practically confirms the rumor that has been heard for some time that that manufacturing concern would locate branch in Birmingham.
 The movements of the agents have been quiet but they have inquired in industrial circles, and their inquiries have been made known. It is the understanding that the first work done here will be in the nature of an experiment. If steel can be procured cheaply and market for the products of the company Is found, it is stated that there is no doubt but that Birmingham will add another indus try.
 The company manufactures heating radiators.
