NITRATE PLANT IS GIVEN HARD BLOW
 IN UPHILL FIGHT
Fertilizer Trust Gets Busy and Flood of Telegrams Is Sent to House
 Members
By HUGH W. ROBERTS washington Bureau The AEc-H Herald,
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, December 22 Especially J. The subcommittee of the appropria tions committee of the House this afternoon rejected the petition of the board oi engineers that slo,OoOO0O be appropriated Tor the completion of the sl0O ,O00,O0o prol- ects at Muscle Shoals in northern Ala bama.
 Last night the subcommittee tentatively agreed to recommend the appropriation. But during the day republican leaders lnterfered, with the result that the tenta- tive agreement was hurled into the dis card. Unless the House favorably acts despite the action of the subcommittee, 1t is feared that the nitrate bill. in charge or Senator Smith of South Carolina, un- der the provisions of which the Muscle Shoals plant would be operated for the production of fertilizer, will be seriously 5eopardized
 The fertilizer trust has entered actively on the warpath against the nitrate bill with plea that it's enactment would de- stroy it's business and release its hold cn tho agricultural people of the United States. Senators and representatives from all states were inundated today by telegrams from constituents engaged in retailing fertilizer urging that they vote against the bill, The tide was especially strong from Georgia and South Caro-.

 Senator Dial of South Carolina promptly answered his telegrams with the ex- planation that while he objected as a rule to the government engaging in any business the Muscle Shoals proposition meant such permanent benefits to the agricultural classes of the country that he felt impelled ardently to support nee essary legislation in its raYor.
 The republicans, in desiring that the stupendous construction be stopped be- fore completion, and after sum as great as y90,000,o0o has been spent, enter tain the idea that the government should dispose of the plants to private corpora tions Inasmuch, however, as consumers would not profit from fertilizer sold py private corporations, farmers oppose the republican suggestion.

 A port business.

This was his encouraging comment on the optimistic view of the industrial situa- tion that another man had taken based on items that seemed to warrant the op- timism
 The category of items in the particular summary of conditions that caused the optimism and the quasi-rebuff happened to relate rather exclusively to exports. But what of that?
 Money that comes in from stuff that goes overseas is quite as good as money that comes from swapping dollars at home. In fact the financial wiseacres say it is better money, because it is brand new money, money added to the total which we already have.
 At any rate, some of the things referred to were as follows:
 The coke business with Mexico, owing to more stable conditions down there, has awakened. A contract for 10000 tons has been offered. A shipment of 1000 tons'h has been made. Another thousand tons is to follow at once.
 A matter of 1 ,00O to 2,000 tons of coke LOT OOuCu AIHGIlCd udS UCSu COuCI dCISO for and will move at an early date.
 Cuba a regular consumer of Bfrmfng- ham coke, is barking for more coke for her sugar mills.
 Steamer left Mobile few days ago with 851 tons of steel nails, bolts, nuts and galvanized wire for little Jamaica
 A few days prior to that a vessel put out | of Mobile with fourteen hundred pieces of l! Birmingham pipe for and fittings for the West Indies.
 One of the largest of Birmingham ma- ; chine shops which has been on full turn { for more than year on sugar house ma chinery for export, reports being on full a turn still and says it will be on full turn for Z six months to come. 2
 Three of the biggest shops in this dis trict have shared their export sugar house ]; business and none is through with it. It is l continuous process. The product goes out from here to stay and it brings in new money straight along.
 In the past six months the six big freighters built at the Chickasaw yards in y ing Birmingham steel products all over the world. Eight more are to do the same thing.
 The steel corporation mills of the dis trict export 2,00O to 15,000 tons per month to points of delivery in all the con- tinents.
 This business is going right now. The coke that is moving to Mexico keeps fires alight in Birmingham coke ovens and brings in the money that pays the men that work about the ovens, This money drifts into the stores and enables Birming- ham merchants to make neat turn over of their goods for settlement day
 The steel products that are going abroad spell the operation of ore and coal mines of dolomite quarries, of railroads, of blast furnaces and steel works that would otherwise not be over busy at this particular time. They count for millions of dollars paid out to real men in this dis trict to be spent in this district
 The Jamaican money for those rails is
