M'QUEEN EXTOLS
 SOUTHERN PIG IRON
tContinued From Page seven.)


 to solve, pieces of cylinders made by the best European makers were analysed, and 1t was found that the best French cylin- ders analysed 133 phosphorus; the Eng fish 110 phosphorus, while American makers were using only 50 phosphorus, and some of the high priced car builders were buying cylinder castings from France.
 Much can be said in favor of buying iron by analysis, but onAthe other hand, there are many causes affecting the suc- cess of such practice other than the chemical elements of the iron charged Into the cupola. It very often happens that foundry will buy iron on analysis, and when 1t comes to the point of using 1t, in many instances the iron and other materials are not even weighed, but guessed at by few laboring men; and again, very often, they charge miscel- laneous scrap the analysis of which they know nothing about; in such cases the blame cannot in justice be placed on the pig iron.
 'As 1 have endeavored to make clear to you. southern foundry pig has charac- teristics entirely different from any other pig. During the early days of this in dustry in the south, 1t stayed very close at home-occasonally yenturing on trip up the river. but never very far. Later. during the eighties, when the industry began to expand-especially in the Bir- mingham district-the pig acquired roam ing habits; it would not stay at home; 1t made its way mp north all along the great lakes. into Canada. all over New England; out to the Pacific coast, and down into M exco Being a verltable tramp, it frequently found it's way on board tramp steamers, and visited many foreign countries-into>mo of European ,nrfo Iot 1i., A rica Wherever 1t went it brought the joy and sunshine of it's native land. To the northern laborer sweating and break ing his back on Lake Superior charcoal pig. it was a workable godsend. It yield ed easily to the blows of the sledge. His employer, the foundryman, was grateful for it's help. The genuine quality of it's softness. it's smooth and winning way added new lustre to the stoves 1t went to make. and its cheapness enabled the stove maker to reduce his price and sell more. It also enabled the farmer to buy Inore and better machinery.
 Southern pig has always been a friend to everyone, and no satisfactory suhsti- tute has ever been found. There arc peo- pie who claim southern foundry pig will never be the power It once was In some markets; perhaps so, but other markets are growing all the while, and, in spite of the fact that We have been hearing the doom of southern pig for 20 years. We have ,weathered far worse storms than this, and have seen the tide turn in our favcor again and again. We believe the time Is not far distant when the de- mand for American iron and steel pro- ducts of all kinds will tax the capacity of our plants, and when that comes, southern foundry pig will not be the Tit tie pig that stayed at home but he will go to market every day"

INTEREST IN MEET OF. SOUTHERN M0GULS.
Kavanaugh to Preside Over Meetings Here Saturday.
 Banquet at Tutwiler

Much interest is manifested in the meet ing of the Southern league directors, which will be held in Birmingham tomor- row. Judge W. M. Kavanaugh of Little Rock, president of the league called the directors in session at this time, in order that the Southern league directors could discuss plans for the meeting at Omaha of the minor league magnates. and the national baseball commission At this meeting it is said that important leg tslation in reference to the minor leagues will le enacted.
 Other matters of interest that will come before the directors meeting Saturday will be that cf the Montgomery franchise and It's possible transfer to Little Rock, and the reelection of Judge Kavanaugh as president Regarding the transfer of the Montgomery franchise, it is stated ahat on account of small attendance many or the games scheduled to be played at Montgomery were transferred to other towns. This, it is said, may pave the way for negotiations between the owners of the capitol city club and the parties who desire the franchise for Little Rock. However, fl Is hardly probable that the change will be made at the meeting Sat Grday.
 Following the business meeting the di- rectors will attend banquet at the Tutwiler hotel on Saturday night

naces larger than Nos. 6. 5 and were con structed. the bosh diameter being fn- creased to 22 feet 6 inches, and the hearth
 and stock line to Is feet. As matter of interest 1t may be well. to mention that
 No. Is n thin-iined furnace The work
 of these three furnaces has been superior
 to any results so far obtained in the south. one of them having made over 6o0,- oe0 tons of iron and Is still in good con- dition The average output of the three large furnaces is about 400 tons per day.
 The rapid development of the plant to it's present state of efficiency and working out the proper preparation of raw ma terial was begun in 1908 and has recently ben consummated. All the coal from which coke is made is now washed, thus insuring fuel of low ash and uniform quail ity, and the ores and fuxing stone are properly crushed. The question of inade- quate supply of water had from the be- ginning been serious handicap to the plant. The completion of the splendid inn provement at Edgewater in 1911 affords the plant ample supply of water and has made possible the installation of an eff eient condensing plant by which thousands of horse power, heretofore wasted, have been put into harness. It Is also of inter est to note that turbo-blowers have been introduced and are being successfully op- erated.
 One cannot view the history of this plant without regretting that 1t ran so many years without the capital and or gantzation necessary to keep 1t in the front rank of development. It is to be hoped that sufficient capital will be pro- vfded from the start for resources yet to be developed, and that stability of own ership will guarantee an operating or ganization which is not subject to changes, an organization that will reach its highest efficiency by years of con tinuous service.
 I know of no greater pleasure than to be able to say to you that largely through results now being secured at this plant the great natural resources of the Bir- mingham district have at last come into their own, and if left in the hands of capital and competent organization, will ever prove to be a part of the industrial success of the country"
