War HITS The
LEATHER TRADE

New York, Aug. 20. The most
serious consideration of the European
war is its effect on our foreign trade.
The hide and leather business is al
ready suffering from held-up ship
ments, and it will not be long till
the effects spread to the shoe in
dustry. The Shoe and Leather Re-
porter announces that while the i'm
mediate effect of the war will be
disastrous to our industries, the ulti-
mate influence will, be to greatly
stimulate the demand for our mer-
chandise. With the great European
industrial countries modifying their
troops, millions of men will cease to
be producers and become consumers
of merchandise. Markets are affect
ed by present conditions, and the i'm
mediate dilemma is to indure supplies
of raw material to keep our tanneries
running"

'MUCKALEE'S new
BRIDGE NEARING
COMPLETION NOW
SO STATES The CONTRACTOR
Finishing Touches Will Be
Added Soon

Muckalee's handsome and substan-
tial new concrete and steel bridge wa
be opened to traffic in two weeks, ac-
cording to the estimate of Mr. ]. II.
Scruggs, of Birmingham, who has the
building contract. Mr.. Scruggs states
that the greatest difficulties in getting
the bridge foundations have been over
come, and that the work remaining to
be done is all above the placid waters
of the romantic Muckalee.
eve had much difficulty in getting
the solid foundation required" said
Mr.. Scruggs yesterday, "but we are
now in position to rush the work and
will soon have the big bridge finish
ed"
The smaller bridge of the two, that
spanning Town creek and few yards
removed from the large steel and con-
crete structure, has, been finished sew
eral weeks, and opened to traffic Mr..
Scruggs says there will be no Difficult
ty now in rushing to a finish the main
| bridge over Muckalee and turning it
over to the county for acceptance with
in the time he suggests, ten days or
two weeks.
A rather remarkable discovery, evil
dencing the fact that this creek cross
ing had been used from time immem-
.orable, was that of Corduroy" road,
fourteen feet down in the black mud
of the creek bottom. This corduroy"
roadbed, constructed of poles laid
across the road, has been there posi-
bly, 70 or 80 years and long since for
gotten by the oldest inhabitant, of
Americas.
The bridge-builders also found the
framework of an ante-deluvian (0
bridge several feet under the mud,
which had done service prior to the
civil war. The timbers in this old
bridge, Mr.. Scruggs says, are still per-
fectly sound, and better than much of
the new timber available here now.

The Journals Calhoun
County Edition.

Six pages Of The Journal this morn
ing are devoted to a complete anu
comprehensive description of Calhoun
county, its advantages and possfp1E-
ties, and special attention is directed
thereto 1t is only within the past few
years that anything like even partial
DEVELOPMENT of the resources Of Cal
houn was possible, for until the con-
struction of the Mariana ana
Blountstown railroad the only trans
portation facilities in the county were
those supplied by steamers on the
Apalachicola river, which forms the
eastern boundary. Calhoun today mas
two railroads, one from Mariana to
SCOTS Ferry. on the Chipola river,
which will probably be extended to the
gulf coast at no distant day, and the
Apalachicola Northern Railroad, which
crosses the southern END of the county
to Port st. Joe, one OF the finest nat
ural harbors on the gulf coast.
A large portion of Calhoun county
is still in a virgin state, this being
particularly true of the territory south
of the county seat, Blountstown, every
bit of it susceptible to the highest ag-
ricultura1 development. The soil Is
fertile and particularly adapted to
truck farming and the growing of cit
rus fruits. although farm crops and
fruits of every description may be
produced bountifully. There Is also
opportunity for industrial development
along many lines.
The work of developing Calhoun
county may be said to have just be-
gun and, in the course Of the next
year or two, it is expected that hun
dreds of families will be settled upon
now barren acres. Large colonization
projects are under way, immense
tracts Of the finest farming have been
placed upon the market at low prices
and a campaign has been inaugurated
with a view to attracting the best
class of settlers from the north and
west.
Read the Calhoun county edition
carefully, then send it to some friend
in another state whom it may be pos
sible to interest in this rich section
OF West Florida. There are unusual
opportunities in Calhoun county and
its full development will aid in the up
building of this section Of the state.

Will Arbitrate
All Differences.

The strike of fifty-five thousand
engineers and firemen employed by
ninety eight western railroads, set for
August z, did not take place nd the
differences between the railroads and
the men will be submitted to arbitra-
ton under the provisions OF the fed
eral arbitration law. The decision to
arbitrate came at a time when there
was little hope OF avoiding one Of the
greatest labor wars OF recent years
and was the result OF a direct appeal
, to the patriotism of both the railroad
managers and the men by President
Wilson.
In view Of the European situation
and the consequent depression in
American commerce and finance, a
general strike ut this time would have
been in the nature Of a calamity, add
ing immeasurably to the already
strained condition OF affairs in this
country. Not only that. but the hand
ling OF the immense crops OF the west
would have been seriously delayed,
and at q time when delay would have
meant great loss to both farmers,
shippers and exporters
The wisdom of the government in
providing a way for the settlement
of such disputes by means OF a ma
tional board Of arbitration was never
more apparent than at the present
time. and the success OF this board so
far indicates that compulsory arbitra-
ton of differences between capital and
labor will be a fact at no distant date.

box industries of the state. the state
factory investigating commission re-
ported to the Legislature tonight along
with an urgent recommendation for bet
ter remuneration for these classes of
employees.
The report shows that in Greater New

male workers receive between S. and S1l
More than one-haf of the men receive
less than $40 a week. One-half of the
women get less than Sc week. while
less skilled ones receive as low as 81, 80

Deductions for absence and fines and
lack of employment during slack periods

In the paper box industry the majority
of women workers are rated under $3.50
a week. Almost 1000 women, or nearly
one-half of all over Is years of age in
the trade, earn less than Sc for a week S
work. More than 700 girls under 49, or

NO LETUP IN THE
FIGHT FOR BANK
Chamber of Commerce Of
ficials Preparing Data to
De Presented Committee

Officials OF the Birmingham Chamber
of Commerce are busily at work expand
ing the data to be presented to the fed
eral reserve commission, and President
w. p. G. Harding stated yesterday that
it would probably be ready to forward 10
Washington by the last of this week. !. 1t
is also possible that the data will be
printed and bound in leather in order
that it may be placed in the hands of the
commission in the best and most conven-
lent form.
Although the hearings have taken place
Birmingham is not going to let up in its
fight for the bank, according to Chamber
of Commerce officials until the returns
are all in. There is much work that can
be done in a quiet way and the regional
bank committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, headed by w. II. Kettig, is pre-
pared to work for all it is worth. Presi-
dent Harding also has much work to dc
this week and his enthusiasm is only
equalled by the manner in which he pre-
sented Birminghams claims Saturday
last.
All data must be in the hands of the
committee by March 1 and the local COM
mittee is working to that end. The Bir-
mingham spirit is being evidenced more
and more. Yesterday 1t seemed to be
the consensus of opinion of those in touch
with the situation that the bank was as
good as located here.
