ALLEN AND MOORE
 ARE TRIUMPHANT
Local Operators Are Much Pleased With Passage
 of the Mine Law

After waging a fight for new and better
 mine laws for 50 legislative days, Capt.
 J. V. Allen and Jones G. Moore returned
 home last night victorious. Their mine
 regulation passed the lawmakers yester- day and will become a law of the land
 with very few formalities Senator Moore
 and Captain Allen said Alabama had la bored under inadequate legislation in mine circles to the detriment and loss of this district, but would do so no more. 'I feel no fear of successful contradic- ton in asserting that the Alabama mine law as now assed is among the best in America said Captain Allen.
 "It is a measure which has for its car dinal motive the protection of men. Sec cnd, it aims to protect mine property in this state. l take it that the law cannot
 be improved upon and no state can boasl of better regulations than Alabama. There are no better laws than those adopted by this legislature anent mining.
 However, there cannot be any better government than among the people les. governed. And that necessarily means that cooperation and a spirit of fair play is essential in making any law a success Where the respect of the com
 munity is not behind the law 1t will not last long. I earnestly Invite and urge the cooperation of all miners In this state with the mine owners in seeing tc 1t that our mine laws are protected and successfully executed. Unless this is done they will avail nothing. There cannot be successfully maintained the dispute that any interest is more protected than the other Such is not the case" Senator Jones c. Moore was equally as earnest in his opinion of the law and il
 discussing it said:
 We have been successful in throwing | over the mining situation here adequate laws They cannot be better. No stat has any wiser or more protective. The mine owners and the miners were con- sidered alike in the laws and I vouct for the statement that under them will exist the most perfect harmony. However, in all mine communities there will occur from time to time explo
 sions As long as men mine coal or TUT | railroads accidents will happen. One ot the best ways to lessen this is to have 8 spirit of cooperation between the miner. and the owners of such character as | will do away with the possibility of thel, | mira ction."

ONLY LUMBER AND PAPER TRUSTS HURT ShacklefOrd COrrects Can
 non on Reciprocity
THE FARMER IS SAFE
Trusts Attempt to Fool the Farmer
 and Carry on Campaign of Alarm About Canadian
 VI Reciprocity

' Washington, April 14.-In order to cor rect the impression being fostered by former Speaker Cannon and his followers Jtbat Canadian reciprocity is harmful t1 the farmer Representative Shackelford of Missouri is sending out letter de- 2 signed to put the matter in its proper .rht. MT. Shackleford Is member of tbe ways and means committee and has q devoted much thought to the subject He says the fight against reciprocity has as it's principal packers the lumber trus' ano paper trust and only these trusts . VII be hurt by the bill.
 5 Nr. Shacklefo I'd shows that the differ Apce in trade in favor of the United th, ates during the last five years amount- of to nearly s5oo.OOo,OOo.
 sYou ask why Canada favors reciproc- ity if 1t is to give us the best of l.? 1. The answer is easy, says he. First, yfsthe Canadian tariff is added to the price which the Canadian consumer must pay. Canada desires to relieve her people from this extra price.
 .Second, Canada is willing to take her tariff off the goods which we sell her, If in return we will take our tariff off of the parer, wood pulp and lumber which she sells us. Even with our high tariff against her. Canada has, during the pe- riod of time under consideration, sold us s9S, ,66S, ,630 more paper, pulp and lum- Der than we have sold her. If our tariff aaginst these products were removed she woule sell us still rager amount of these timber products. How could that hurt the farmer?
 ..who, then would be hurt by reciproc- ity.? I will tell you. The lumber trust and the paper trust. Reciprocity would bring Canadian lumber and paper here to be sold in competition with the Amer .. lean lumber and paper This would give the American people chaper paper-the Missouri farmer cheaper lumber to build houses and barns. So you see why 1t Is that these trusts are making such fran tic efforts to defeat reciprocity. They desire to hold monopoly of the Amer ican lumber and paper markets.
 ..These trusts are very active now try ,an1 to fool the farmer Every news paper and farmers paper which can be controlled will carry scare head lines In ta an effort to alarm the farmer about reel procity The trusts always have money to conduct their campaign. Let the farmer be of good cheer He is not the fellow who will be hit by reciprocity. lie will be helped. The lumber trust and the paper trust are the ones who will feel the weight of this measure.

ORPHEUM SECURED
 FOR BIBLE SCHOOL
This City Expected To Break the Attendance
 Record Set Last Year

The question has been on thousands of tongues as to where the Bible Training school to be held here from October Sd to 10th would meet. Last year when it met at the First Baptist church, perhaps the largest church auditorium in the city, Hundreds were turned away night after night after all available standing room had been taken.
 This year the faculty is larger and stronger, with speakers of world wide reputation, including pr. H. M. Hamill, the most eminent Bible school teacher training leader of the day. Dr. George w. Truett, thought to be the greatest preach CT in the Baptist church of America and MT. Antoinette Abernethy LamoreauX, leading authority on child life and pupil study with reference to religion training. Many have wondered where the great number who will gather to hear these eminent speakers could be accompanied and the officers of the school have wish ed heartily for an auditorium with a seat ing capacity of 5000.
 Last night President James Bailey of the Bible Training school signed con- tract with M. L. Sermon, representative of Jake Wells here, for the use of the Orpheum. All concerned are highly pleased as this will enable Birmingham to break the worlds record she herself established last year of having the largest Bible Training school ever held in Sunday school work

Iron Age Report

New York, September 13.-t Special) The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 September has not yet brought such a scale of buying in iron and steel products as that of late July and early August which made last month the banner month of the year in steel works and rolling mill operations. The August performance may have been due to one of the moderate waves which throughout 1911 have alternated with short periods of halting demand. As for some weeks, the structural zee. traue holds out encouragement. Railroad buying shows further shrink age, with little promise of any change for the better. The Canadian govern ment has inquired for 10000 tons for the Hudson Bay railway. Continued weakness is shown in tin plates, sheets, wire products and merchant pipe; in none of the last three lines has the buying this month been up to that of August. For tin plates both months have been of the off season period, but new business has been done at basis of old contracts In the Pitts burg district sheet bars have been quoted recently at g ton below the s22 basis al which the majority of mills have aimed. The eastern pig iron market is more active and has a better tone than Is indicated by re- ports from Chicago and the central west Buffalo has made a number of sales for eastern shipment and In New England. New York and New Jersey 25,o0o tons of pig iron. chiefly foun- dry grades, is under inquiry.
 Alabama pig iron stocks were re- dnced 10 per cent or by 26,000 tons in August, yet the market for southern iron Is not so strong and in some quar- ters the past week has shown more anxiety to get business.
