MOVING DOWN STREAM

Joint rail and water rates on coal from the Birmingham district to Mobile and New Orleans and through these ports to all gulf, Cuban and South American ports are now in effect and coal has been moving down stream for the past week or 10 days.
 Coal operators claim that in order to further develop the Birmingham district an extension of territory is absolutely essential, and that the only extension possible under existing conditions is along the gulf coast from Key West to Texas and Cuba and Central and South America.
 Ocean bottoms are not available at present for this trade. and it is for this reason that the government will be urged to allot a sufficient tonnage of wooden ships to take care of it.
 The present annual consumption of coal along the gulf coast and in Cuba Is about 2,500,G00 tons, which is about one-eighth of the present apacity of production of the Birmingham district
 West Virginia. Pennsylvania, Ken lucky and Illinois coal operators are making strenuous efforts to capture the Mississippi delta coal trade and also that of the gulf coast through the port of New Orleans. In past years Cuba and South America have secured their supply from West Virginia and Pennsyl- vania or England.
 ALABAMA COAL
 With available shipping and equitable freight rates, Alabama coal could be de- liyered to all these places at prices con siderably lower than either the Pennsyl- vania West Virginia or English article.
 The rate from the Birmingham district to Mobile is lower than the rate from the Pennsylvania or West Virginia mines to Atlantic ports and the ocean haulage is several hundred miles shorter. In the gulf ports Alabama coal would have an advantage of something like s1.5o to g. a ton in freight charges, while to Cuba and Central and South American coun- tries the advantage would be almost as great.
 Surveys are to be made within the near future of the Warrior river above Cor dova with the view to opening up that section to navigation. It is stated that one more dam somewhere above Cordova would open up about 50 miles of coal fields, said to be among the best in the state.
 These lands are now inaccessible by rail or water, and their owners, 1t is un- derstood. are only awaiting assurances of transportation before developing the property

MRS. PRICE SPEAKS

Mrs Nina Frederick Price, southern organizer for the National Federation of Business and Professional Women, made a delightful talk at the dinner held last night in the private dining room of the Tutwiler hotel on or ganization and Federation of Business Women She was introduced by Miss Daily who presided over the meeting, and stated how glad Birmingham was to have her as it's guest.
 Mrs. Price spoke of the wonderful ma terial she had met on her tour of the southern states among the women, and prophesied great things for the or- ganizatiop among these women. All over the country the business women are doing great things said the speaker, and never before have they been called on as during the world war. The work of the women was recognized everywhere and with such a splendid beginning I am sure great things will be accomplished by them with such an organization.
 "Co-operation is needed. and if best results are secured they must have an organization of trained business and professional women. We are the bur den bearers and must work every day in the year to keep the world, for which our soldiers fought and died, safe for democracy" Mrs Price stated she was the daughter of an English army officer and the wife of an Ameri- of

With Justice to All Interests Involved, Commissioner Says Public Improve
 ments Will Be Made

Henry Page Burruss, commissioner of public improvements. yesterday stated that despite quibbling and complaints the city will soon begin paving certain streets that public in- terests require to be improved The costs will be assessed to the owners of the property adjoining the pave ment.
 Commissioner Burruss gave out the following statement:
 There has been sharp criticism of the commission for not doing a good deal of paving at the cost of property owners. Some of this criticism is di- rected by ignorance of circumstances, but with good intentions on the part of the critic.
 "The city is anxious to do as much paving as soon as possible, as can be done with justice to interests involved, as well as the promotion of public convenience The commission has to consider the nature of the abutting property and how well the property can hear asSeSsmeut
