BUREAU OF LABOR
| WITHOUT ALEADER
The ReappOintment of Neil
Has Not Yet Been
Confirmed

Washington, January 29.-Beginnins
with February l the bureau of labor of
the department of commerce and labor
will be without commissioner, the re-
appointment of DIR. Charles p. Neill by
President Taft lacking the confirmation
of the Senate. DR.. Neil at present is in
El Paso, Tex, where he is engaged II
the mediation OF the difficulties between
the Texas and Pacific railroad and its
trainmen. The fact that the bureau Will
be without an executive head, according
to other officials of the bureau, probably
will complicate considerably the status
of the various important labor matters In
which Commissioner Nell has taken an
important part
Commissioner Neill was appointed by
President Roosevelt on February !, 1909.
for a term of four years, which expires
next Friday night. The act that created
the bureau of labor specifically declares
that the commissioner shall hold office
for four years unless sooner removed. In
his case, because OF this specific provision
of the act. he does not hold over until his
successor is appointed and confirmed.
Most of the appontees OF the President
do so hold over except in the case of
Commissioner Clark of the interstate
commerce commission, whose term eH-
pired by limitation on December I'll last
His nomination by the President also
lacks confirmation by the Senate.

PLANT WILL BE
REMOVED TO BIRMINGHAM

In reference to the sale the Gadsden
Times-News says:
'Pep-to-Lac, a soft drink which has
gained wide reputation during the past
few years, was Invented by DIR. E. T.
Cross, the well known Gadsden druggist.
In 1901 the drink was put on sale in his
drug store and later at other stores IA
the city. The next year DR. Cross and q
brother took occasional trips into north
Alabama, Introducing the new beverage
and they succeeded in making some good
sales, all of which brought permanent Gus
toners. At this time the entire output
was made in a ten gallon churn IN the
rear OF the drug store. In 1906 the sales
had increased so that it became necessary
to build a factory with an immense "a
pacity and to employ several travelling
statesmen. $
THE drink has been introduced into
eight states: Alabama, Georgia, Mlssls-
sippig South and North Carolina, Tennes-
see, Ohio and Illinois. Each year 1t found
a larger territoi.', mostly through sen
advertising, for Dr. Cross never mad the
money to push the enterprise as II shoulu
have been. It was largely family afalr
with himself as president and ms
borthers J. II and F. L. Cross, vice pres
ident and ecretary-treasurer, respec-
tively.'

HEATED ATMOSPHERE
BY CHARLES H. MANDY

There are numerous mechanical de-
vices on the market for producing hot
air for heating dwelling houses and
other purposes. At the many blast fur
naees in the Birmingham district, mon
ster astoves" so TO 100 feet high are
used to heat the air from the blowing
engines, that is forced into the fur
naces under pressure, making the hres
burn fiereely and melting the iron ore
and limestone into liquid iron and Stag.
There are also many devices for pro-
daeing hot air. that are not mechan-
ical. They come in all shapes and sizes
and vary somewhat in their capacity
Some can, and do produce cheated at
mosphere9 for hours at stretch, others
for a more limited time, but usually of
a higher temperature: in fact the hu-
man device for producing this variety
of the invisible elastic fluid which sur
rounds the earth has any mechanical
device ever invented beat 10 city blocks
There are many uses for the TOBIAS
coic aeriform fluid that oozes out of
the human system. Ii is the mainstay
of the statesman and the stock in trade
of the politician. 1t is extensively used
by lawyers, doctors tincluding divini-
ty), statesmen, actors. lovers and news
paper men, in fact it is possibly more
universally used In the transactions in
cident to every day life than any other
commodity.
However, it is not of the devices that
produce hot air that we would speak.
1t is one that is devised to get rid OF
1t. During the past few weeks the board
of revenue has received many com
plants about the atmosphere of the
courthouse. 1t was said to have been
almost sitting and very dsagreeable
to the many hundreds whose business
requires their presence in the court
house. As to the reasons for the un-
usual tropical condition of the1said at
mosphere no one seemed to- know. One
said it was a lack of ventilation, anoth-
er said there was too much steam heat
Then 1t was suggested that all the
divisions Of the county courts were in
session, that cases were being argued
and reargued in each. 1t was also
suggested that various charges to juries
had been given (grand and otherwise)
and that the crowds that daily throng
the corridors had discussed everything
from poodle dogs to politics with more
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-30

or less vehemence. and that this might
be responsible for the torrid air
But be the cause what 1t may, the
board of revenue deemed II suffient to
call for a remedy so they have installed
in the tower that adorns the top of the
courthouse a big exhaust fan, in fact
it is said to be the biggest suction fan
in the south. Its functions are to draw
all the hot air. to the top of the
courthouse and expel it into the sur
rounding atmosphere. It Is working
fine so far.
As the board of revenue has many
financial problems TO solve and all be-
ing desirous of adding to the income of
the county If possible, the suggestion
is made that they connect pipe to the
mouth of the exhaust fan and extend
it to the Sloss furnace, connecting 1t
with the hot blast pipe, and that when
the county courts are in session they
can furnish the company with "hot air.
at so much per hour. Thus the company
might be able to reduce the cost of the
production of pig iron and the board
add quite a little pickup" to its rev.
enues.

south have reported Improvement in pros
pects with more buying, developing in the
western and southwestern districts.
Competition of southern iron is being
felt in the north almost as far as Cleve-
land, but prices in the central west are
being firmly adhered to. In eastern ter
ritory there is more disposition to make
concessions than there is in the west and
several interests are shading the mar
ket more freely on attractive tonnages.
Numerous sales of moderate tonnages
have been made, however, at full prices
in the New York and Philadelphia dis
tricts
The Great Northern railroad has placed
an order for 20,000 tons of rails, divided
equally among the Pennsylvania, Cam
bri Bethlehem and Lacnawanna Steel
companies, and will probably plan order
for 10000 additional tons. Other north
western roads are still figuring on ton
nages for this year, and one has placed
moderate tonnage for 1914 delivery. The
Pennsylvania lines west have awarded
the Pennsylvania Steel company 5000 tons
of Mayari Bessemer rails.
The inquiry for miscellaneous lots is
active. Argentine railroads, which have
Deen unable 10 OBTAIN utSlicu uclNtiits
abroad, are again turning to American
mills and are seeking to place about loO,-
COO tons The Pennsylvania railroad is
inqurng for 1900 cars and the Norfolk
and Western for 1000 cars, making a
total of about 10000 cars for the steel for
which middle western steel makers are
actively bidding. Chicago mills have just
taken about b, 900 tons of steel for car
builders in that district to cover new car
! orders. The Illinois Central has placed
an order for thousand gondolas with the
Pullman company. Some railroads are
finding that they did not place orders
for rails last year early enough TO insure
desired deliveries this year
The coke market has declined sharply
and important operators are now offer
ing to contract with furnaces in the east
and central west at So per ton, while
prices for prompt delivery are also lower
! for both foundry and furnace grades.
Lower prices are attributed to the heavy
production, and the fact that several fur
naces have been compelled to blow out
for refining the old material market con-
tinues duh with prices very weak.
