RATE PROHIBITIvE

Thereupon inquiries were made of At, lantic shipping lines as to availability of bottoms, and freight rates from the American ports to Genoa, Italy. Replies were received from New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola, Savannah and one or two other southern ports, but the rates quoted were so high in each instance that it made it impossible for the Birmingham company to even consider the order.
 It was found that after paying the rail- road freight charges to the Atlantic or gulf port then the ocean nates to Genoa .he Birmingham iron maker realize about g ton for his product.
 Until America owns and operates her own merchant vessels and makes, rates that will put our industries on an equal footing in the matter of freight rates with European countries, there is no hope Of our doing business in foreign countries, this sales manager said.
 Recently representative of Japanese iron and steel interests was in Birming- ham. He stated in an interview that the differenttial in favor of English and other European shippers against American amounted to about $20 ton, and that the European iron and steel makers could, therefore undersell American products to that extent, the cost of manufacture being equal

 The home demand, which has been ex-

 claiming that it would be almost suicidal to do so.

We are making quotations daily but they do not result in orders. In the great majority of cases we hear nothing further from the ln- quirers after quoting our prices. Most of our inquiries are for foundry grades, but the foundries are running on short time and their requirements are not large"

All five of the Woodward furnaces were blown out early in the year and official announcement was made al that time that no more iron would be made by this company until market condi- tions improved and selling prices and cost of production approached nearer each other.
 Furnace operators state that it is cost ing, or was costing at the close Of 1SIS around $3O ton to make iron, whereas the selling price was fixed two or three months ago at about $26 a ton.
 As about S5 per cent of the cost of iron is represented in labor it was claimed that until there is readJustment or wages at the mines and at the furnaces, or until a greater demand causes an ad- vance in iron prices, the furnaces in the Birmingham district could not operate without great financial loss. The Woodward Iron company has De- gun operations at one of the ore mines recently opened and it is understood that mining work will begin at the second ono within a week or two. The work of open ing these mines was begun last summer. All of the woodward furnaces have been oyerhauled and put in good condition Tor blowing in as soon as business conditions will justify.

yet has remained solidly democratic

garding selection by primary, it seems
entirely probable that there will be

the new year to marshal the forces

comprehensive manner just what the
democratic party stands for in
Florida.
Republican Ticket Planned.
It is very well understood that in
the past several years the issues have
been practically forgotten, and demo-
crat meant white man. registered,
and the republican rarty in the state
was supposed to consist of a few
federal officeholders. or ex-office-
holders, and handful Of negroes.
Within the next month or two it is
now certain that the republican party
in Florida will enter the field and it
will not be a black party. With
hundreds of white voters well known
to be national republicans, but pre-
viously not participating in politics
in the state, the prevailing conditions
have kept the majority of them in
the background. 1t is stated on good
authority at this time that a full
ticket will be nominated by the repub-
licans in Florida next year, and this
means federal and state.
Great interest naturally centers at
this time on the candidacy of Duncan
U. Fletcher. senior senator. who has
become a national figure in the past
few years. Senator Fletcher will be
opposed by Sidney J. Cats. an Ala
bama politician, who came to Florida,

There is campaign committee
named to handle the campaign for
Mr. Colvin. and there will be no lack
or funds with which to press the
fight, the committee attending to that
end OF the contest. The friends of
Mr.. Montague are not much disturbed
as yet and, while there has been a
very heavy payment of poll taxes on
the part Of the labor element, 1T is
recalled that there are many repub-
| licans among them. The banks, the
trust companies, the railroad offices
and all other business concerns have
also taken the cue and they have per-
suaded their men to pay their poll
taxes and to be ready to vote. So
the increased voting list Is not all
one way.
Another factor in the game is the
discovery that for several weeks the
colored voters have been asked to pay
up and to register for the coming
elections. They have not done this
in the past, and a conservative esti-
mate is that five times as many col
ored men are qualified to vote in this
city the coming year as at any time
within fifteen years. There are many
hundreds more of white republicans

been found there for a long time.
