For the Good of
 the Community

RIRMINGHAM'S steel make does not D travel further north than Knoxville.
 At first blush that sounds as if it's mann fracture in the south were basically re- strlcted both in volume and in trade terri tory. But that is not the case. There is no occasion for Birmingham steel to com pete with northern steel in the territory north of the Ohio. The reasons are two.
 Frst-Steel smelting in the south has greatly increased in the past ten years
 Second-Birmingham steel is so ad- vantageously situated with reference to the export trade that exports and the southern steel melt more than care for the production of the southern parent mills.
 Years ago the head of the United States Steel Corporation, after the Tes,- nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany's properties had passed into his hands and experts had analysed the re- sources and strategic position of the Ala 1. bama mineral belt, declared that Birl mingham was the natural center of the steel and iron trade of the south. south west and export.
 Birmingham has become precisely what 1t naturally was entitled to be. The charm of 1t IS that the south and the south west have developed a steel and iron con- sumption that cares for the greater part of the southern-rnade iron marketed in this country and all of the steel that the export trade does not elastically absorb.
 Steel and iron melting centers of i'm portance have sprung up in the south and waxed strong. Atlanta is nearby neigh Dor of Birmingham that has become an extensive steel shelter. Chattanooga de- bends as much on Birmingham as itself for it's steel and it's iron.
 There is considerable iron and steel fabricating industry in New Orleans. Car shops in Macon and elsewhere in the south {. consume enormous quantities of Birming- ham iron and steel. The great state of Texas is always in the Birmingham mar- ket for iron and steel.
 Alabama is the worlds greatest cast iron pipe maker. This industry alone has increased hundred per cent by dint of the new pipe shops that have come in this year.
 We will scatter portion of our pig iron over the nation, because it has qualities which all founders need in their mixtures, but the greater portion is melted in terri tory bounded on the north by Knoxville and the south by New Orleans in the smell ters that growth and needs of the south have caused to be built and operated.
 The extent of the export steel trade is illustrated by the movement of two suc- cessive products of the Chickasaw Ship building and Car Company to Rotterdam and that of another to Japan with 5000 { tons apiece of Birmingham steel
 A shipload of 5000 tons of Birning- ham cast iron pipe has recently gone to Japan and two cargoes of 4, 900 tons each to the Pacific coast via vessel out of Mo- bile with more following the same route.
 Birmingham steel producing mills do not know the market north of the Ohio, because they do not have to know it. Ex- port and the south cares for the 1,500;000 tons of steel produced in Birmingham mills.
