HARD At WORK ON
SEALS CAMP A|GN
First Proceeds for the Red
Cross Stamps Received
from Lady in Epes

First proceeds from the Christmas Red
Cross seal sale have been received al
state seal headquarters in the form OF a
$40 check from Hpes, Ala. Miss Ethel a,
Casey is the donor.
Miss Casey In a letter to Secretary
George Eaves, states that since Epes is
unable to make a creditable showing IN
the sale of the Christmas seals. she sends
the $40 as a substitute. The donation was
received gratefully by the state commit
tee and now heads the list of the state
seal campaign funds.
Matt Sloan, chairman of the local seal
committee and sales manager, who re-
eeived his appointment saturday, is hard
at work On arranging the details of the
campaign which will be waged in Sir
mingham between now and Christmas
The slogan of the committee is '1,GeJ,00t
seal sales before Christmas As this num-
Der is exactly half of the number of sales
which is expected to be made in the en-
tire state. the local conmttee realizes
the difficulty OF the proposition on hand.
In connection with the opening of the
local campaign active steps were taken in
the state wide campaign Saturday. when
shipments of 10000 seals were made to
Montgomery and Mobile. Additional ship
ments will be made within the next woek.
Secretary Eaves outlined the needs of
the local organization and purposes of the
seal sale In Birmingham as follows.
First, to complete the equipment of the
present ssnitorium.
Second, to construct the first unit of a
segregated hospital for care of advanced
ind al
terms, so as to prevent spread of the dis
ease.
Third to inaugurate in a different part
of tho city twofold sanitoriurp for negroes
to begin on small scale with cooperation

President of Sloss Co. Testified Sat-
urday in Washington On the
Application For Lower
Freight Rates.

| After an absence of several months in
Europe, Col. J. c. Maben, president of
the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron COM
psny, came to Birmingham yesterday.
He is accompanied by w. H. Goadby,
chairman of the board, and will remain
here probably for several weeks. The
visiting officials expect two other di-
rectors here from Canada during the next
few days, and the party will inspect the
physical properties with Vice President
j. Campbell Maben. Jr., while in the dis
| trict
Colonel Maben, who removed to New
York shortly before going abroad. was
highly optimistic yesterday over the gen.
ersl business conditions and the outlook.
He is usually very conservative in Civ
ing his opinion as TO the business con-
ditions, but yesterday without hesitation
said the general outlook was good.
Colonel Maben testified Saturday before
Commerce Examiner McCord in Washing
ton as to the reduced rate applied for by
local iron makers and the Tennessee
operators. He said yesterday that the in
quiry being held in Washington at this
time would be carried over. until perhaps
over that situation and expressed the opin-
ion that the rate which the operators
want reduced should most certainly be
lowered. Trade conditions and the gen.
eral situation are the broad grounds upon
which is based the application for the re-
duction.
THE business condition of the country
is good" said Colonel Maben. THE out
look is also good. have been in New
York for several days and the general
opinion is that the forthcoming year will
be fruitful President-elect Woodrow
Wilson is a good, sane man. He is sure
TO make a fine President unless he allows
the party leaders to ruin him. l believe
the business interests look hopefully to
his administration.
Il am as optimistic as ever over the
Birming CHAM district and the future in
store for the people here"
Mr.. Goadby, who is well known here, is
inclined to the opinion that the general
situation Is good. He said the officials
would be here for some time as no definite
date had been fixed for returning east.

Business Interests Want to
Know What to Expect
Without Delay.
DELAY SURE TO BE
FATAL TO THE PARTY
Era of Uncertainty Would Overspread
Whole Country and 1t Is Better
to Tackle Problem and Get
Through With 1t.

That an immediate session of Congress
is the correct measure so the tariff re-
adjustment may be made without loss of
time is the opinion of William IL. Kettig,
manager of Crane company in this dis
trict, than whom no better known bust
ress man resides in this community.
Mr. Kettig informally discussed the
ti,riff situation yesterday in view of the
variety of opinions concerning whether an
extra session should be called without
delay He supported Congressman Os-
car W. Underwood and others in their be-
lief that no delay should be occasioned
In acquainting the business interests with
what to expect.
i believe the tariff will be lowered q
certain conservative extent, and the thing
the business interests want is immediate
adjustment of the schedules said MIR,
Kettig.
Il believe the most regrettable era oil
uncertainty would overspread this coun-
try if it became generally known that no
revision of the tariff would be undertaken
until next October. The point Is that the
commercial interests desire the fullest
knowledge as TO what they must adjust
themselves to- IL that information Is held
up Until next October 1t would be year
at least before the bill was passed. For
goodness sake let us not have an endless
wrangie over the tariff, which proposition
killed the Wilson bill of Grover Cleveland
and wrecked the democratic party 20 years
ago from which experience we are just
now recovering.
"ff it had not been for the ceaseless de-
bate on the Wilson bill which extended
gressional elections which resulted in a
republican victory the democratic party
would have been better off. In the cleo
tion following that ceaseless debate Will
liam Mckinley came to the front and
later was President on the tariff issue
alone. That is what the democrats paid
for their delay and dilly dallying.
In this case. therefore. 1t is of the
most vital importance that the man with
a business and with money to invest be
told as quickly as convenient how to ar
range his affairs to meet the new tariff
situation. TO certain extent they know
that reductions will be made, but that Is
not the whole story, nor is 1t details.
THE business men Of this country un
derstand that there will be no free trade
as that is ludicrous. There is to b'
raised 81, coo, 100000 to run this government
That must be raised by the tariff, as the
American people will not stand for direct
federal taxation. So it is easy for one to
understand that there will not be any
great cuts that will undermine business
interests. Those interests that have
grown sleek and fat on protection might
feel the hit keenly, but as a general prop
ofition nothing that will seriously hurt
business will occur. In my Judgment.
THE chief point now is to get the re-
auctions before the people so they can be
understood and so the business men can
shape themselves and adjust their affairs
accordingly"
