 H. c. Prick, the noted captain of in- dustry. got his first job as mere lad in millinery store. When he became book keeper he went into the coke industry in Pennsylvania and shortly after his thir- tieth birthday was making a million a year.
 Francis H. Sisson, vice president of the Guaranty Trust company of New York. predicts great expansion of foreign trade after the war. and says this country should begin now to plan and work to meet the tremendous competition of other nations, saddled with war debts.
 Charles F. Brooker, the American Brass King, was once an office clerk, but fre- quently went into the machine shops of the company employing him, put on over- alls and learned all he could about brass and it's manufacture. This set him on the upward path to the presidency of the American Brass company
 George M. Reynolds, head of the Con- tinental and Commercial National bank, Chicagos largest financial institution was apprentced in youth to a village store, but returned to farm work and sub- sequently got place in a bank.

MEETING OF OPERATORS


 Addressing a meeting of operators. mine managers and mine worokers recently. James B. Neale, director of pro- duction, United States fuel aoministra- tion, said:
 The essence of maximum coal pro- duction is efficiency and this cannot be had without hearty cooperation between the mine workers and the mine man. agement. Each group must do it's best alcng it's own well defined lines, but it must also strive to help the other both by actual deeds and by pointing out ways for improvement Suggestions and constructive criticism must be given and accepted in a true spirit of co-opera- tion and with no thought of anything save increased production.
 If the men making up the mine man. agement are true patriots they will be only too glad to know wherein they have failed to do their full duty in providing ways and means for maximum output. They will accept cheerfully criticisms and suggestions from anyone who is in a position to know what the actual con- ditions are, and they will do their ut most to remove every obstacle which may prevent any worker from working eight hours each day in the most efficient way possible. Too often tonnage is lost due to neglect or carelessness copcern- ing which the mine management has no knowledge. Such things should be brought to the attention of the proper officers and trey should be glad to have their attention called to them so that corrective measures may be taken. No wise, loyal superintendent or foreman will resent having facts regarding bad conditions brought to him, but, on the other hand, he should be grateful to have knowledge which will enable him, to more effectively do his part in the great struggle now going on in France"
 OUTPUT OF COAL
 IR the Birmingham district conditions apparently reversed themselves about September l. Between July and Sep tenber l the weekly output of coal in the district ranged from 412,O00 to 433,0UO tons, whereas since September l it has fallen to approximately 390O00 tons week. Labor Day and army draft regis tration day probably account for part of this slump in two of the weeks, while car shortage has prevented full time work at few of the mines,
 Resumption of work in a week or two at the Mary Lee mine at Lewisburg- daily capacity about 1500 tons-will make up part of this loss, while the inaugura- ton of coal shipments down the War rior river, a probable development for the early part of October, will add sev- eral thousand tons weekly to the pro- auction.
 Productlon committees belng organized Rt the mines under the supervision of Production Manager H. c. Selheimer are expected to accelerate production when they are fully organized and in good working order. These committees one at each mine, will be composed of one representative each of the miners, the operators and the fuel administration They will keep tab on the miners and report all short-time work together with the cause-whether it rests with the min CT or the operator, or is due to causes beyond the control of either.

COAL PRODUCTION BIG FACTOR IN THE
 WAR PROGRAMME
CO-Operation Between Mine Workers and Mine Man. agement Necessary to
 Maximum Production

The absolute necessity of coal produc- tion to the maximum is one of the things that all government agencies have been for months trying to impress upon both operators and miners. Since early in the spring Canadian and English sol diers, crippled in battle, have come to this district under an arrangement with the United States, government to ad- dress working men in general, and coal miners in particular, for the purpose Of telling them the story of the great war in Europe, what it means and what must be done by the people back home to help the soldiers win it.
 These addresses, however, have not been directed solely at the working men, but at the employers as well. In order that the miner, or the laborer in other industrial lines, may work full time con- ditions must be favorable, and only the employer can make sure that the con- dltionS are right.

Bessemer, January (SpeciaL)-Cne car of coal received by the city was dis tribbuted today to citizens who were in great need of fuel. The Bessemer Ice and Coal company, which was the only local yard to have coal. were allowed to make deliveries today. It was announced tonight by Mayor Jones that car Of coal received last night, would be opened Monday morning at s o'clock. Mayor Jones stated that it would take approxi- mately 50 cars to relieve the situation in Bessemer. but that he expected several cars would be received on Monday by To- cal dealers. It was announced today that citizens who had been far-sighted enough to lay in a supply of coal had divided with their less fortunate neigh bors until their supply had run low and practically every coal bin in Bessemer had been reduced to small amount.

rrice. But it doesn't consist in following men who can stop and explain to your entire satisfaction every deed that they do or every word that they speak. If you had that sort of leader either in your government or in your church he would spend so much time explaining that he would never lead anywhere, and he would find so many people wanting to go in different directions that any lead ing would be impossibie. Loyalty in church and nation consists in following your leader without criticism without question or complaint, so long as your leader is worthy. When the leader be- comes unworthy. it Is not time for criticism. It Is time for change. Tn the government that change can be secured at the polls. In the church 1t can be had by a simple request Until you cast that vote at the polls; until you are ready to make that request, in common fair ness. your loyalty and support are due to your church. to your leaders and to yourselves.
