 Make Addresses

Seventh annual memorial services of the four railroad transportation brotherhoods and their auxiliaries were held yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock at the First Christian church, which was crowded to its capacity. The orders represented were Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Bremen, Order of Railway Conductors and Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
 John R. T. Rives, Division 1Ss. Or der of Railroad Conductors, acted as master of ceremonies. The principal addresses were made by pr. Robert N. Simpson, pastor of the First Christian church, and Mrs. Mary Milton grand officer of Ladies auxiliary tor Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
 Dr. Simpson took as the theme of his address Lasting Memorials" and referred to the story of Mary break ing the bottle of alabaster over Christ's feet. He said the world was inclined to offer memorials to those who had mastered the great arts, but too often forgot those who had con quered the simpler ones. The memo rial exercises of the afternoon were to those of the latter group.
 Memorials Perish
 Most memorials perished, he said and those which last are ones based upon the art of living and the art of loving, asserting that love is the great dynamic of both industry and religion.
 Mrs. Milton, who has the distinc- ton of belonging to both the aux Hilary to the Brotherhood of Railway Trsinmen and the Order of Railway Conductors. exhorted her hearers to build a monument of charity, justice and fidelity. She said Ahat remem- bering the lives of the dead, the brotherhoods should look forward to the general brotherhood of man.
 In his preliminary remarks the chairman said that the solution of all industrial problems could only come through the adoption of the golden rule in industry.
 Due to out-of-town business, re. sponses from the heads of the four brotherhoods had to be omitted from the programme.
 The church was decorated witt ferns, palms, roses and other cut flowers. Immediately after the serv- ices, these flowers were distributed to the sick of the four orders in the local hospitals.
 The programme follows Song Come, Thou Almighty King" Pray CT, s. T. Watkins, Div. 432, 5. of L. E Song, My Father Knows" Address Dr. Robert N. Simpson, pastor of the First Christian church.

 The plant Is operating at this time on three-dsy schedule. but with the beginning of the manufacture of hot air furnaces will probably increase it's force and meat.
 The manufacture of hot air fur naces in Birmingham will be 8 new departure in the stove and range business. There are several plants that manufacture stoves and cast iron ranges, but none manufactures hot air furnace.
 The Unit company plant was built by persons associated with the Aborn Stove company of Belleville. O., one of the largest In the country.
 
 company. which shut down March 23. has resumed operations, and is run ming about foar days a week in the manufacture of stoves, ranges, hof- lowware and grates. This industry hRs been one of the livest in the city. and has & large trade territory in the southern states. It is understood that practically a normal fo-se is being employed out at this riant.
 Another live plszt using Birmins~ ham pig iron ;s that of the American Radiator company. It is understood to be operating at 70 per cent of ca pacity. Purchase by the company of additional quotas of Birmingham pig iron indicates continuance of some thing like normal production.
 Joubert sS Goslin
 The Joubert & Gosiin Foundry and Machine company is understood to be near normal in the production of its regular line of machinery and ap- pliances for sugar refineries. The present business is domestic, the Cuban business still tagging on ac- count of the financial status of the Cuban sugar interests, However, 1t is known that deals involving very considerable sugar house business with Cuba are under way.
 Birmingham machine shops last year completed several lock and key jobs in Cuba that involved as much as $4,000,000 each. This business was shared by the Birmingham Machine and Foundry company, Joubert & Goslin and Ingalls, Iron Works, the latter furnishing the structural steel for the buildings and the others the sugar grinding apparatus and the like.

 We are doing fine. That is the word to express it. We have good business on the books and are closing up additional contracts for bridges and steel buildings.

 We are shipping steel bridge to Sylvester, Va, the third made for that state by our shops. We are building a large steel bridge for a North Carolina point and fabrlcatine the steel for a river terminal for the government at Demopolis-s We are making the material for large office building at Miami, and for an industrial building in Louis iana We have orders for several bridges in Mississippi. Sales Near Normal
 Our sales are approximately nor- mal. With our new extension we can handle more business and have gone out for it."
