COULD CARE FOR PEOPLE

Robert Jemison, Jr., president of the Jenison Real Estate company, said that Birmingham would be fully able to care for the increased population that the location of the plant here would cause
 He said that conditions in industrial suburbs were practically as good as those in the city proper.
 Investigation will prove that more study and attention have been given to living conditions and labor conditions here than any place in the south,' said MT. Jemison.
 Frank Willis Barnett, associate editor of The e-Herald. spoke on the excellent church-going conditions that prevailed in Birmingham. declaring that there are in Birmingham as good churches as in any city in the country.
 TOUR THE DISTRICT
 Yesterday morning, the board was car- ried on a tour of inspection over the entire Birmingham district, and inspected various sites which have been offered for the location of the armor plate plant. They went from the Tutwiler hotel at 9 clock to the Sloss-Sheffield properties, across to Acipco, and the big plant there, then through Pratt City and Ensley. Aft CT inspecting the Tennessee company works at Ensley. they went to Fairfield, md inspected the Semet-Solvay system, the Barrett Manufacturing plant, and the American Steel and Wire works Later were visited Brighton, Woodward, Bes- semer, Readers, Tarrant City and the

''The only thing that is necessary for the location of teh plant now is for the government to tell us that 1t has heard the presentation of our claims, that is approves, and is ready to build the plant here"
 MT. Bowron declared that there is made in this district steel suitable for ship building, projectiles. shells and every other purpose.

could trained labor be obtained as cheaply as in Birmingham.
 He declared that the location of the ar- nor plate plant would be only the begin ming of military equipment. T believe it will not be long before the making of ordnance, munitions and all the whole scope of military necessities will follow he said.
 Alabama possesses, in the highest de- gree, all the requirements necessary for the development of a military industrial field'
 Even should there be any excess in cost of Alabama steel, I feel that other conditions, such as labor, climate and natural resources would offset, in high measure, any such discrepancy"
 Notwithstanding desirable remoteness from the coast, we have water trans portation.
 q do not know of any place that pos sesses the advantages for the location of the plant that the Birmingham district has.

MITCHELL A WITNESS

James Mitchell, president of the Ala bama Power company. declared that he had located in thIs district because 1t offered great advantages of any place in the country for development of met allurgical industry.
 When you are dealing with question of such proportions as the location of an armor plate plant it does not seem to me that the small cost necessary to dephos- phorize ore should be considered" he said.
 "There appears to be absolutely no ele- ment lacking in this district to meet the requirements for the construction, main tenance and operation of an armor plate plant
 MT. Mitchell declared that in no place

ELECTRICALLY MADE STEEL

ELECTRICALLY MADE STEEL Theodore Swann of the Alabama Pow Ter company testified as to the added strength of electrically made steel. He said it was only question of time before there would be an electric plant in Alabama using graphite from |Clay county.
 ssThere is no question that from
 viewpoint of power and every
 other standard. this is the best
 and most economical location for
 the armOr plate plant" he said.
 "Alabnma has the greatest de-
 velOped and undevelOped hydro-
 electric power of any state east of
 the Mississippi. This power we
 have backed up by sufficient steam
 power"
 Mr. Swann said that his company guar anteed steel with a phosphorus of O.o2 and in many eases has gotten as low as 001. He declared that armor plate made from the electrical process would be much harder to penetrate than steel made in open hearth.

The Hudson Super Six
AS 1t Is Affected By New Prices
Suppose we Look at il This Way

You are offered your choice
of a great variety of automo-
biles.
All you are asked 10 pay
for the car of your choice IS
the difference between what
the car sells for and the price
of a Hudson Super-Six.
Here are cars which sell
at $500 to $1,000. Until re-
Gently they were priced at
between $1,000 and $1,000.
But now they sell for more
because recent increases in
material costs has forced sell
ing prices up to their present
levels. So the only difference
you must pay for a Hudson
Super-Six is lsss than $500
That is the situation as it
stends today. The other cars
have had 10 advance their
prices so much that it has
entirely readjusted tine basis
OF values as they were known
only a few weeks ago. 1t
has brought former cheaper
cars up to about>the Hudson
price. It has advanced higher
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1917-10-13

priced cars than the Hudson
SO much that the difference
between them is now $500 to
$1,000 greater. So far 81
makes have been advanced
in price The advances range
from $500 to 500 according
to make and model.
The Hudson has so far es-
capped the necessity for adj
vancing its price. That is due
to a fortunate turn in affairs
which finds the Hudson fac
tory supplied with quantity
of parts that were bought last
year before material prices
had shot up to their present
unequaled heights. The other
companies exhausted their
supplies in the spring and had
to enter the market when it
was at its highest.
The Hudson prices can't
stand long. Soon they, too,
must advance, But the stu
alton it offers is unique. 1t
is a great opportunity for
those who take advantage
of it.

SILVER PRICE MAY BE FIXED
 BY OFFICIALS

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA confer ence over the government plan to hold down the price of silver in the United States during next year was to be held at the treasury department the last of the week, between Secretary McAdoO and western silver producers.
 American and British officials want to prevent the competition of foreign purchasers from boosting silver to the point where its coinage becomes un- profitable. Contracts have been pro- posed under which the government practically would control the market for a year at a price somewhat lower than the prevailing 86 cents an ounce rate, the government to use only part of the metal and release the balance for ordinary purposes. The United States is expected to use 20,000,OOO ounces this year and Great Britain needs large quantities.
 Governor Boyle of Nevada, with men interested in his and other silver producing states, announce they are coming here to protest against the governments fixing of prices and to oppose any sealing of prices that they claim will mean virtual confiscation of many mines.

GOV. CAMPBELL WILL
 HEAD RED GROSS DRIVE

Gov. Thomas c. Campbell has been appointed sectional chairman for the American Red Cross Christmas mem bership drive for the state of Arizona.
 The national organization consists of a national executive committee headed by Theodore N. Vail, this divi- sional committee covering California, Nevada and Arizona, and a sectional committee covering this state, with Governor Campbell as chairman, who will shortly announce the personnel of his completed committee, the duties of which will be to coordinate the work of and to assist and advise the vari- ous chapters in this section.
 This Christmas membership cam paign extends over a period of eight days, starting December IT, and con cluding the evening of December 24. Prior to the campaign for membership, the organization of the forces in the various chapters is quite essential, and the results during the campaign for membership largely depend upon the perfection of the organizations within the various chapters.
