BIRMINGHAM CITY,
 WARRIOR STEAMER, DUE AT DEM0POL|S
$15,000 Raised There to Sup. plement Work of Govern ment on Building of
 Terminal

The City of Birmingham, the new Warrior self-propeller, will tie up at Demopolis this morning. There the citizens of that community, who have raised $15,000 to supplement government aid in the building of a terminal, will welcome the new craft.
 Demopols already uses the river, a speciality being movement of cement from the plant of the Gulf States Portland Ce- ment company. which is at the river bank.
 The boat is expected to arrive at Tus- caioosa some time Wednesday afternoon and will tic up there until early Thurs day morning, ct which time she will move on to the port os Cordova. There she will unload 800 tens of freight for Birmingham wholesalers and take on 500 tons of wire. mill and steel products from the T. c. l. for Mobile and New Orleans. The American Steel and Wire company will furnish the wire mill products. The cargo will be completed by lumber taken on at Tuscaloosa
 TEN HOURS
 The trip from TuscaIoosa to Cordova will take about 10 hours, so that the boat win tie up there some time in the late afternoon of Thursday. X party of Birmingham men will make the trip from Tuscaloosa to Cordova with MT. De- Baroeleben on the boat.
 Mir. DeBardeiepen has arrived in Bir- mingham after his memorable" ex- perIencc with the rough waters of Mis- sissippi sound on the maiden trip of tho City of Birmingham. He was asked what was the cause of the delay. His reply was: '"rhe boat itself is splendid sailor and came up to all requirements. But, you see, we played safety first by getting in the shallow waters of Mis- sissippi sound when the storm came up. and the wind kept blowing the water from under the vessel. She did not run aground; the confounded wind simply took the water away and left her none to float in"
 NO WATER
 MT. DeBaroeiepen IS not discounted by the smallness of the first up-river cargo. We made that trip just at a time when wholesalers had ceased laying in new stocks. They were not purchas- ing goods, hence there was not much goods to be hauled. If there had been the usual course of trade we would have had a much larger cargo" he said. "I was never uneasy while on the boat but she proved very seaworthy, and realized that she was not built to trave on land. Land was all we had mos of the time while the wind was moving the water from under us."

One lot of 300 tons for ex- port and another lot of 300 tons of foundry iron for domes- tic use have been sold by a merchant furnace interest on the $38 base.
 This is the first acknowl- edged departure from the SAP base coming to the fore in the Birmingham market so far as merchant furnaces are con- cerned, but there is understood to be reason to believe that more than one interest has been quoting $38.

 A few weeks ago the non-mer- chant interests sold quite tonnage of foundry at $3S and since that time the consumers have not taken on my iron worth speaking of at SAP.

 the city board of education, or that a special appropriation be made to cover the expense.
 'The provision of drilling ground does rot come under the head of city public improvement ana tine expense should be borne by the board of education said
 MT. Burruss. If, however, the other commissioners are willing to make spe-

cHANGABLE WEATHER
 PROMISED THE CITY

More real winter weather is in store for Birmingham this morning.
 Weather Observer Horton stated yesterday that when the sun begins to dawn over Birmingham this morn ing the mercury would be registering around s degrees.
 Not exactly freezing says the weather man, but nevertheless over coats win be comfortable. for high winds will add to the belief that 1t is chilly.
 The mercury last week kept the trail hot. dodging back and forth be- tween the twenty-sixth and fifty sixth degree mark. and as result Birmingham had both winter ana summer weather all in one week. The weather man thinks the same thing is likely to occur this week. and overcoats and thin suits may both have chance. However. ne promises little or no rain for Bir- mingham and weather that will De fair for the next two days. at least.

STEEL OPERATIONS ARE SAT|SF ACTORY Local Production of Steel and Iron Running Ahead of
 Previous Months

Steel operations in the Birmingham district are on satisfactory basis. This is especially true of the leading steel interests. The momentum acquired during the normal process of business resulting in the booking of large ton mage of forward orders at conservative price levels is carrying mills forward under full sail.
 November pig iron production of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany is at the rate of s2,ooo tons for the month.
 Production of the finishing steel mills is at the rate of, 67.o0o tons per month. The steel production will run several thousand tons ahead of the Oc- tober production, and the October pro- duction was moro than that of Sep- tenber
 The T. c. I. banked the Alice furnace. which was on basic. on Saturday even ing. but operations will be resumed there this coming Saturday night. Banking of fires N Alice was incident 10 a shift in operations of 6 normal na- ture.
 The T, c. I. Is operating six blast furnaces on basic, one on foundry and one on ferro-manganese. The basic is used by the company in the manufac- ture of steel products.
 In addition to the 4,o00 tons of steel plates that go down the river for the building of each of the IA freighters to be built at Chickasaw yards in Mobile, an additional 5000 to 5000 tons goes down the river for the maiden cargo of the completed ships to faraway fields. This alone is a considerable item in the manufacture of steel products.
 The American Steel and Wire mill will also participate in the next cargo going to port of Mobile down the river.

AiucA was tHe only one or the committee of five senators that con stituted the senatorial investigation committee to come to Birmingham. He arrived in the city at 7:lo o'clock yes terday morning.
 HEARING STARTS
 At 10 o'clock yesterday morning tho hearing commenced at the United States courtroom in the postoffiee. Senator Calder's personal staff of advisors. con
 era of great business activity is be- committee Chairman; John R. Parish, expert on real estate; pr. Wilson Conn ton. expert on lumber, and former member of the federal trade commis- sion, and c. w. Hall, secretary to Sen ator Calder, came to Birmingham with him.
 Senator Calder opened the hearing, with short address, in which he stated that his committee was perhaps the only senatorial committee travelling over the country at the present time which was not out to get somebody.a
 SEEKING REMEDY
 The purpose of this vestigation committee, which was authorized and appointed by Congress last May. is to try and remedy the evils that are caus- ing a slump in the business of the United States" said Senator Calder.
 "When we undertook this job we
 realized thnt we were up against a
 big thing. Yet | am proud to say
 thnt as the result of Investigations
 we have held in 15 of the largest
 cities of the United States, | can
 say that I honestly believe that an
 ern of great business activity Is be-
 fore the bnsfness men of this cOun-
 try If certain laws md rulings arc
 removed by the present Congress,
 which should never have been put
 into effect.
 More than two dozen witnesses had been called to testify. and besides these the courtroom was filled with business men who were there merely because they were interested
 HIGH WAGES Commissioner Henry Page Burrus was the first to be called to testify. Commissioner Burrus stated that in his opinion the high cost of labor was the cause of the let-up in the number of houses that were being erected in Bir- mingham.
 Through the work of my depart ment and the contact have had with labor on the work on the streets, I am sure that the same thing applies to other businesses, and I find that labor must prepare for decrease in wages before building can be resumed in Bir- ming gham."
 Commissioner John R. Hornady was called upon next to give his opinion as to what was the remedy for the housing situation in. Birmingham.
 T agree with Commissioner Burruss and l think that he has said exactly what I would have said had I been called upon first" said Commissioner Hornady. Lumber and other kinds of building material has dropped from 25 to 60 per cent during the past two months, and it is only reasonable to ex- pect labor to do the same. The well fare of the nation demands it.
 Ben Price. local contractor, made practically the same statements as did Commissioners Burruss and Hornady. He stated that labor in general was costing just twice as much now as 1t did during the war and was just about one half as efficient.
 Conditions in Mobile were outlined by George B. Rogers, an architect of that city.
