New York, November 1o.-The steel

er, mill and furnace operations were
further reduced. AS a whole the indus
try is operating little more than 80
per cent of capacity. Some lines OF
manufacture as sheets and tin plate
have little over so per cent of capacity
active.
The October statement of the Steel
corporation indicates that new orders
last month were less than 700 tons,
or scarcely 40 per cent OF finished Cd
pacity. 1t is believed that November
will make a better showing.
The railroads have suddenly ceased

having been expended. The only ini-

$4,000 tons for the Louisville and
Nashville. orders for cars and loco-
motives were insignificant.
Steel building work was sharply con-
trasted while competition for steel or

vailed The pig iron trade was flat

BIG RALLY HAS BEEN AR
RANGED FOR NEXT SATURDAY

TORIUM SECURED FOR PUR-
POSE
by HUGH w. ROBERTS

With victory assured, the friends of
Oscar w Underwood reached deter
mination yesterday to obtain as near as
possible a solid vote in jefferson county
In the primary next year it is antici-
pated that Jefferson will poll 10000 votes.
There are reasons. In the first place
Jefferson is interested as it has never
been interested before. And unlike in
the amendment campaign, in this CAM
naign, every man who desires will have
an opportunity to qualify by registering
and paying his poll tax.
According TO best estimates Under
woods majority at the present time will
be aobut 1000. But the friends of the House
leader are not satisfied They feel sure
that the aggregate majority by which

Hobson will carry the counties which
he will carry will not balance Under
woods majority in jefferson But they
want a solid Jefferson county, not Jef
ferson minus 1000 votes
The Underwood brigade is in course
of formation. Yesterday leaders in this
cause planned formally to organize Mon
day or Tuesday. They also procured the
Gypsy Smith auditorium for next Sat
urday night. AT that time the "Under-
wood brigade will rally. There will he

ing and singing. Mr.. Underwood will
deliver an address at the auditorium, and
IL is safe to predict that 5000 people will
hear him.
Mr.. Underwood will return to Br-
mingham this morning. He will probably
spend several days of this week in Jef-
ferson county. Plans are afoot to send
him in various parts of the county and
to schedule several addresses by him in
the northern and southern portions of
the county.

will go out after the people who some
times forget to register and sometimes
forget to pay their poll tax.
