building and Drydock company will build at Richmond to supply boilers for government steamships This plant will manufacture marine boilers for installation in the various government vessels being constructed along the Atlantic seaboard. The site is on the James river and the Seaboard Air Line railway, 40 acres to be covered by the various buildings and their railway sidings and yards.
 The main building will be of steel construction. 600 feet long by 106 feet wide. in which will be installed the foundry, with machine shop and boil CT shops. There will be other smaller buildings for the power plants, ware house and other structures
 The governments decision to build this big boiler plant was recently stated by the Manufacturers Record and it is understood that the buildings, with their equipment of machinery. housing facilities and public utilities, will represent an investment of $4,- 000,000. The building construction con- tract amounting to $1,000,000 was awarded to the Mellon Stewart con- panly of New York.
 Within nine months this big boiler manufacturing plant is expected to be- gin production with 1000 men em- p1oyed. The construction cost will be arranged by the emergency fleet cor poration, and the Newport News com- pany will build and operate the plant.

Will Hold Highway
 Meeting at Shreveport

The fifth annual convention Of the Dixie Overland Highway association will be held in Shreveport August fl.
 In recent years, says the industr'ai Index, and particularly since the be- ginning of the war, which has resulted in so severely overtaxing the railroads, highway construction and maintenance, and especially the building of military highways, has been recognized as or vital importance. The approaching con vention at Shreveport is, therefore, re- garded as of national importance.
 Speakers of note will address the convention. Among the addresses to De given will be the following; National Highways a War Necessity" by Charles H. Davis, president of the National Highways associations "The Motor Truck in Transportation" by John Craft, of Mobile. Ala representative of Roy D. Chaplin, chairman of the highways transport committed; Parcel Post by Motor Truck" by J. l.

Factories Can Be Turned to
 War Needs With Little Effort

Columbus, Ga, August 11-(SpeciaI.' The Industrial Index says in it's issue for this week:
 many manufacturing plants in the south have developed in connection with in. dustrial war work, and call for imme diate, comprehensive action.
 Industrial sections and centers of the north and east have more war work than they can handle, and in consequence the government is turning to other sections to have more of this work done. It is not intended to indicate that not much work of this character is being done in the south, for much work of the kind is being done in this section, but vastly much more can be done.
 First, it will be necessary to take q census t. ascertain just what war essen tials caii be produced by existing plants Tn the south. To this end, questionnaires nave been prepared for distribution among manufacturers of the south, and they are urged to secure copies of these oianks, Ill them out and return them as early as possible.
 IL IS stated that the war industries board IS anxious to get as many factories worhinS cn war needs as possible and VIII locate contracts where they can be handled to advantage on all sorts of wal. needs. Many factories can be turned to war needs with little effort and these will De used Wherever possible
 "Twenty-two corporations with mfnI- mum capital stocks aggregating sS59, ,o0o were formed in the week.
 Among the items of construction work to be done as reported this week, are:
 Bank building, Haleyville; bridges. near Garnett, s. C.; factory building, Columbia, s. C.; hospital building addi- tion, Brunswick, Ga; hotel building addi- tion, Greenville, s. C.; paving, Atlanta, Ga; roads, Bamberg county, South Car olina; DeSoto county, Florida, and Gene- va county, Alabama; school buildings, Brooks county, Georgia; Conway, s. C.; Savannah. Ga., and Senatobia, Miss. {; warehouse. Greenville, S. C.; Young Mems Christian association building, Camp Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla.
 "Construction contracts have been awarded as follows:
 Army camp buildings to cost abou. $1,25O,0O0, Camp Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla; compress building, Greenville, $. C.; passenger stations on line of Tampa Southern railway, in Florida; road, Palm Beach county, Florida; school building, Pike county, Alabama

 BRICK FOR PICRIC PLANT AT BRUNSWICK

l The Georgia Carolina Brick com
 pany of Augusta, has received an or
 der from the United States government ! for 2,5o0.0oo brick, the brick to be de- livered at the rate of 100000 a day at | the new picric acid plant at Bruns- wick, Ga.
 This order, says the Industrial In- dex. is interesting not only because of it's size, but because it is a very substantial recognition of the high
 quality of Augusta brick by Uncle Sam. High class bricks are needed in the construction of the picric acid plant, and the Georgia-Caro1ina Brick company's products came to the re- quirements.
 The order was secured largely through the efforts of Howard Fl Staf-
 ford. president of the Georgia Carolina
 Brick company, it is understood Other
 government orders are anticipated Ly
 this company The output of the com
 pany's several plants will be used for essential construction only. This ooes not mean government work alonc. Tor fertilizer factories, ginneries. cot ton OH mills, warehouses and commer- clai buildings of certain type are re- garded as essential and the govern ment also realizes the necessity and desirability of rebuilding all burned schoolhouses, and also in some in- stances erecting school buildings where such facilities are badly needed due 10 increase in population and other causes.
 Since the order for brick for the plcric acid plant was entered, the GeOrgia-Carolina Brick corrnanr .. since received an additional orde- from the war department for $50. o0o brick to be delivered at South Caro- lima point.

Strong EUidence Of Reuiual
 In Southern Lumber Market

the labor supply eventually, by reason of
 it's bringing more men under the provi- sions of the work or fight" provisions;
 but relief from this quarter will doubtless
 be slow in arriving.
 The general outlook in the lumber ir- dustry may be regarded as distinctly en-
 coura ging, in the face of the manifold difficulties. Government activities call
 ing for lumber show no indications of any slackening, but, on the contrary, the enormous housing projects are just begin- ming to get under way, and these will call for millions of feet of lumber.
 The yellow pine market is in good shape, aside from some lingering com plaints regarding the offical prices. On the whole, however the mills are going ahead, swallowing their dissatisfaction, and bending every energy to furnish the government with the lumber it so ,Ir- gently requires. For it is the govern ment who figures as the principal GUS toner of the southern pine men these days, and the prospects are that the de- mand from this source will continue steadily for the duration of the war at least. New contracts now being placed with southern ship yards for more of the Ferris ships, if the modified type, indicate that the end of the demand for ship material is by no means yet in sight. There is also continuous call for stock for the various new camps, depots, warehouses, hospitals, etc, being con- structed by the government. The volume of ordinary commercial business is still below the normal fall standard, but in quiries are increasing and most of the mills could get more orders of this kind than they are in position to accept Stocks at many mills are badly broken ill the face of the steady demand and irres- ular production, due to drouths and labor scarcity, dimensions being especially scarce. There is also an insistent de- mand for finish and flooring. More mills are steadily falling into line and allowing the wholesalers 8 percentage off the spc- cia1 prices, but the dealers generally oo : ject that the percentage allowed in most cases is not sufficiently large.

The lumber market continues to rock along on a fairly even keel without any very marked changes from week to week says the Southern Lumberman of August 10. The customary dog days" lethargy is noticeable in most branches of the trade, although this dullness in this year perhaps less conspicuous than ever be fore. Furthermore, there are already strong evidences of nearly increase in general activity, and inquiries for fall shipment are already beginning to come in.
 The campaign instituted by the lumber manufacturers looking to the influenc- ing of bCyers to place their orders now while cars may be had. has been stimu. lated by the interest which has been manifested in the matter by the federal railroad administration. The admnistra- ton has issued proclamations calling oh merchants to stock up now with material which they will need later on, giving warning of the serious car shortage which is pending. This action on the part of the administration is expected to have the effect of stirring up the buyers to prompler acton than has been thelr wont ir the past, and has, in fact, d1- ready made itself felt in some improve ment in the volume of inquiries.
 The recent lifting of the embargoes on many eastern points has had the effect of temporarily satisfying the lumber needs of many cities in that section with the result that the demand from that part of the country has shown some dt- minution in the face of the arrival of so many belat ted shipments. Lumber ship pers, however, are nevertheless delighted at the prospect of freer access to these markets and the announcement of t;ie opening of the gateways was hailed with general acclaim.
 The labor situation is a trifle easier just at the immediate present, as it is 8 betwean-crops season with the farmrs and many men are now working in the woods and mills who have been and will be employed in the fields. The federal supervision Of common labor has not yet been in effect long enough to make itselt felt, but employing lumbermen are ex- hibiting an inclination to cooperate with the government to the fullest extent in making the plan a success. The mill op orators recognize the necessity for some drastic action looking to the alleviation of the situation as serious shortage of mill and woods hands is certain to come with the cotton picking season, as it is 8 known fact that higher wages than ever before will be offered for cottos. pickers this year in an effort to lure them to the fields. The proposed exteE sion of the draft age is expected to help

ing the fact that there was a falling off in the first six months
 Throughout the south industry huns, but Birmingham easily leads in big strides. In crop production, 1918 is a ban ner year. It's food crops are larger than usual and it's cotton crop is the largest in the last three years. Shortage of agri. cultural labor is seriously felt by mary farmers, but in spite of this shortage the crops vii be saved. The boys and the women are rendering invaluable service and handicaps are being in large measui e overcome.
 Prosperity abounds in every county Of the state and the farmers are preparing to increase all food crop acreage for 1919. A five -miliion-bushel wheat crop and 150,9o0,0o0 -bushe1 corn crop are among the possibilities for next year In the meantime there is great rejoicing over the abundant harvests of this year.

Capital for war time industrial devel- opment continues to come to the south in large volume. Plants of various di- mensions are being started and the Bir- mingham district is getting it's share.
 The most important announcement of the past week was the Woodward Iron company's agreement with the govern ment to build steel works at Woodward to cost s25.ooO.0Oo. Details are now be- ing considered and it is believed that ground will be broken within the next few weeks.
 The Woodward company owns and op- crates five blast furnaces, with capacity of nearly 5o0000 tons a year It is under stood that, practically all this output will be converted into the finished product.

Before the end of this month several announcements of additional capital seeking investment in the Birmingham district may be expect ed. At least two of the projects referred to will involve expenditures ranging in the millions.
