BIC INCREASE IN
 HOLIDAY SHIPPING
Reports Show Volume One Third More Than for
 December, 1918

By an invcrease nearly aproachins one-third, Birmingham shipping busi ness of the holiday period showed ahead of the record of the Christmas season of last year
 For the month of December. 1918. the tonnage was 4s.1O2 while December, 1920, figures just completed show 55,594 tons
 This business is for what is called package goods tonnage alone, that passed through the Birmingham ware houses.
 In the list no car-lots are included, no raw material shipments and no train loads
 only consignments of packages, bum dies, bales and cartons handled during, December. 1919 principally by the Bir- mingham retail stores fundamentally business of the retail stores for the holiday trade
 The exact increase of the season just passed over that of a year ago was 12. 492 tons of merchandise, or a percent age increase of 289 as between the two months of the two past years.
 Railroad officials in explaining the in creased business say that it Is prac ticaly impossible to give the figures oi the increase in money. for while the increase shows between a quarter and a third over that of 1918, the value of the merchandise has increased anywhere from 25 to 200 per cent, compared year against year; but taken from a broad analysis the indicated prosperity is away over and above anything Bir- mingham has known before.

Times have changed wonderfully IN
the last forty years. New methods OF
production, transportation and distrio-
ution have been installed everywhere
New business alliances and new bus
inesses are everywhere. Everywhere
that production has passed the hand
tool stage Capitalism has flourished
and the elass-struggle has become IN
tensified. Forty years ago while In
dustry was in the craft age Sammy
THE Gompers had lovely little tune
of "reward our friends and punish
our enemies that he played on every
possible occasion. Today after forty
years of dickering. compromise and
often downright betrayal of the best
interests of labor he is still whanging
away on the same old tune.
Times have changed, Samuel, and
very much fear that you will either
have to put on new record or step
down and out, making room for one
who will put on new record. Labor
cannot reward your friends, Samuel
