CHICAGO STARTS FIGHT

Chicago fabricators are suffering under a differerential load of S5.i0 per ton and are up in arms against Pitts- burg plus All the western consumers of rolled steel have organized a mighty association with a fund of $500,000 to emancipate themselves from this eco homie bondage to the east and I think Chicago will win it's case. That is the concensus of opinion among the steel people with whom I talked, and when it wins it would seem that Birming- hams disadvantage will increase be- per ton on steel. could invade certain southern territory now served by fab ricators of the Birmingham district

The Civic association will immediately begin it's fight for Bir- mingham We may organize the entire south for the contest.

 as little public speaking on~the down i, town street corners as possible. When the motion was seconded and discus sion was in order, MT. Barber warned the commissioners of the examples Of Russia Germany, Austria and other

This material con sists largely of steel shapes. bars and plates which are made right here in Birmingham as cheapiy, if not cheaper, than anywhere else in the United States. And yet do you know that fabricator of steel-the maker of the finished products from rolled steel-if he figures on locating his plant in the Birmingham district, has to base his costs for raw materials on the Pittsburg plus price. That is, he has to figure on price which is meas ured by the price at Pittsburg plus the freight from that point to Birming- ham This freight differential is almost prohibitive and should. in fairness to this city be removed.
 Tt is understood that the Tennessee company claims to make a concession of about $S.50 per ton to fabricators located in Birmingham, but does the company supply any great part of the local demand for rolled steel at their reduced prices? Do not local fabrica- tors have to draw upon PittsburG, Chl- cago and Gary for the greater part ot their needs? I am reliably informed that this is the case, and being so, the prospective. manufacturer must base costs on the differential of S11.50 per ton.

The attack had been made with a
dash in the woods, and though it was
not yet dawn, the Yanks were getting
their breath in their new positions.
From his dugout, which late la
mented Heinie had burrowed, one Of
them spied something which another
and less fortunate member of the
bunch had regarded as so precious
that he had carried it into the at
tack. 1t was banjo, made of cigar

He crawled forward, got his hands
on the trophy and retreated with it

SHOOTS BROTHER-IN-LAW.
Claude Martin Held for Death of Will
Timer.

Gaffney, May 25.-Sheriff Thomas,
of Cherokee county, committed to
Jail Friday night Claude Martin, who
is charged with fatally shooting his
brother-in-law, Will Timer. There
were no witnesses to the shooting
except the wife and daughter of the
dead man, and both testified that
they knew of no reason for the deed,
as the men were apparently friend
lv. After the conclusion of the in
quest Sheriff Thomas and Deputy
Sheriff Watkins discovered where
whiskey had recently been made
within about half a mile of Martin S
house, and this fact may have been
responsible for the killing, as it is
thought that Timer and Martin had
something to do with the plant. The
parties lived about ii miles from
Gaffney, in the eastern section of the
county, and both men had been
looked upon by their neighbors as
law-abiding citizens. Martin was ar
rested and is now in the Cherokee
county jail, and will probably be
tried at the next term of the court in
July.
