YOUNG TELLS WHY
HE LIKES SMOKE

Like most people in this district"
stated l. f. Young. president of the
Young & vann Supply company yester-
day. Il like smoke We have passed
through too many periods when there
was so little smoke that business was
stagnant, that the presence of smoke in
the Air is a welcome sign that business
is good and that the natural industries
of Birmingham are in a flourishing con-
dition.
'rhe enforcement of a rigid smoke
ordinance works a hardship on most or
the manufacturers and producers, and Is
detrimental to this city, as it is a fac
tor considered by new concerns seeking
location here. Smoke can be prevented
or at least held down TO a reasonable
limit by the installation of elaborate
stokers and combustion chambers, but to
force manufacturers to make such cost
ly changes in existing plants, which
necessitates not only the spending of
much money, which many cannot afford,
but temporary shutdowns, while changes
are being made, is an unreasonable de-
mand particularly so when a very large
proportion of the smoke produced comes
from homes of all the residences in the
district. Burning the soft coal native
to this district, this will never be over
come
ITO force the manufacturers and pro-
ducers, who are supporting this city, to
obey a rigid smoke ordinance when the
whole community violates it, seems un-
just and unless the good Lord, or some
fairy can change our coal over night to
anthracite, | do not see why we should
destroy the foundation this district and
city are built on, and is our foundation

Weather Conditions

Birmingham January 30.--G p. m,)-The
pressure is low on tonight's map over
the eastern and central portions OF the
great central basin and the Great Lakes.
II has caused rain or snow from Mem
phis northward and over the northern
sections from Lake Michigan eastward.
1t has caused a general increase in cloudi-
ness over the southern states and warm
er weather east Pf the Mississippi river
This disturbance is being closely fol-
lowed by an area of high barometer
which occupies the interior sections of
the country west of the plains states. IL
has brought much cooler weather during
the past "a hours to nearly all trans
Mississippi districts, the change ranging
from to 2S degrees over the eastern
slope of the Rockies. 1t has also caused
general snow throughout the plains states
and the northern Rockies, due to the
sudden chilling OF the air masses ny tns
northwest winds.
In the cotton belt fair and cooler wealth
er prevailed in Oklahoma at p. m. over
other western sections and in the middle
gulf the weather has been cloudy and
warmer while along the Atlantic coast
fair and warm weather has continued. IL
is expected that the slight trough of low
pressure extending on tonights map over
the western Mississippi valley will cause
some rain in this section Friday. This
storm passing. the weather should clear
rather slowly and become cooler. Satur-
day will probably be generally fair and
cool.

TOO MUCH NOISE AND

the change should come gradually" said

will use coke and afterwards oil. perhaps,
but they should have plenty of time to

Colston Concludes Argument


Montgomery. January So.-tSpecial9
Maintaining that the present rate case
between the state and the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad company had
beed adjudicated; that the railroad
commission had no further jurisdiction
in the matter under controversy. ana
that the railroad company had pro-
duced evidence to show that the pres
ent rates were reasonable and just,
w A. Colston, CONNIE ercial attorney for
the Louisville and Nashville road, to-
day presented a lengthy argument be-
fore the commission in the case that
has been pending before the commits
sion in the case that has been pending
before the commission since. last fall.
Attorney Colston argued for nearly
four hours and a half and upon the
conclusion of his speech the commits
sion adjourned. The railroad company
has until February IA in which to file
a written brief. in which argument Will
be presented in greater detail.
The burden of the argument present.
ed by Mr.. Colston was that the rate
cases had been previously adjudicated
in that Federal Judge Thomas G. Jones
had rendered decree allowing the
railroad to restore the old passenger
and freight rates
Mr. Colston further attempted to
show that the railroad commission had
no further jurisdiction in the matter
and that even if the matter had not
been adjudicated and the commission
had the jurisdiction, the railroad COM
pany had produced evidence TO show
that the passenger rate of cents per
mile was reasonable and just.
In the brief which the railroad COM
pany will file it is understood that
the company will go into greater detail,
bringing in much of the evidence that
was produced on the stand.
Following the receipt of the railroad
company's brief, the commission will
take the matter under advisement and
will announce their decision later.

SMOKE NOT DANGER TO HEALTH;
COMMENT BY MANUFACTURER
MALCHOW TELLS HOW CITY
HAMPERS BUSINESS FIRMS


use only the highest priced materials in
our bread and must pay the highest price
for it. The price CT this material fiuctu-
ates with the Chicago wheat market
Therefore we are compelled to issue
temporarily now and then loaf u or "a
ounce less to meet these fluctuations, or
raise the price to the people or lower the
quality of the bread which we will not do.
Our vice president in very able
letter to the city officials pointed out
the impracticability of the law, since
the public will not pay more than DC
per loaf, and the price of material can
not be controlled by city law. In an
swer we were told that we would be
given hearing, but the hearing never
was given us.
I'VE are forced to obey the law; our
profits have gone kiting, and our bread
business has fallen off Is per cent since
the enforcement of the ordinance.
Besides all this, the restrictions on
traffic are growing some tight. one OF
our officials had a small automobile
with which to come to town and place
orders If he stops at fors!dden places,
no matter whether the places are
marked forbidden or not, he is arrested
and carted off to Jail
IF he can't stop and attend to busi-
ness there Is no use keeping the ma
chine, therefore he has sold 1t.
THE anti-smoke law has compelled
us to experiment with expensive So
called smoke consumers, a contrivance
which If 1t lessons the smoke at all also
lessons the volume of steam produced.
In my opinion, we will have to put
up with little smoke, If we want to
produce steam with soft coal.
Now | do not want to be known as
a 'knocker.' l feel very grateful to the
consumers of Birmingham for they have
made our business possible. In return
we have helped a little to build up Bir-
mingham; our pay roll in the city is
between $150,000 and 100000 per an
mum. Our purchasing department buys
half million dollars worth of raw
material per annum. The handing of
this material helps somebody else's pay
roll, and IL we are 1egislated out of
business it will not be altogether a
gain to the people of Birmingham.
Il should very much regret to move
our headquarters to some other city,
whose government would have some
regard for our interests but we may be
compelled to do so. Our city govern
ment may succeed in stopping the
smoke coming from our chimneys and
drive the automobiles from our streets,
but instead of the cheerful blast of the
whistles and the musical honk- -honk of
the gas wagons viii ii be better to
have the peaceful lowing of cattle feed
