chairman of the commission
AN effort on the part Of our 1,000,-

make clear both to members of the

that great deal of good might be &C
complished generally if we can adopt
definition of this term
The Americanisn work of the COM

carried on effectively in many places,
according to Mr.. Woods.
The national executive committee

GOAL PRODUCTION SHOWS INCREASE:
Heavy Demand for Coal and Iron Is Expected to
 Continue

The coal mines in the Birmingham district turned out 277,250 tons of coal last week which with New Years Day, holiday on which very few men worked. is an average of 55.450 tons a day This is about the daily average under normal conditions, and coming during the Christmas holiday season coal operators consider it to be a splendid record
 throughout the year would make the production in 1920 close to 17.0oe, 900, or about 2,ooo,oOO tons greater than in 1919.
 There is a very strong demand for coal, both domestic and fuel, at pres ent. with tendency 10 increase. Operators state that they are now un- able to take care of all the business offered them and with the increase that is expected during the balance of the winter an" spring. they see ex- ceedingly prospe. ous times ahead The same conditions exist in the iron and steel markets. according to information obtained from iron makers and steel mill operators. The furnaces ! in this district have sold ther entire output for two or three months some
 of them even throug gh the second quar-
 ter, and they are not anxious to book
 any further orders al present few of the companies are still
 working on orders accepted during the carly fall when prices were several
 dollars under current quotations hence they are not reaping the profits present prices would give them These old orders will be worked off in 2 short time, however, and then the benefits of the present high prices will i come to the makers.
 | Predictions of $40 iron at an carly
 oate are not altogether pleasing tc
 at least some of the opera tors. whc
 lear adverse conditions following Z 1 runaway market. They contend thai
 stabilization of prices which would 1 guarantee reasonable profits all the | time is much preferable to wid, 1 fluctuations.
