GOLDEN RULE PLEA
 ISSUED BY DAVIS
Wants Fair Deal. for Capital, Living Wage for Labor and
 Bigger Profit for Farmer
By Associated Press

Chicago April 12--A plea for fair deal for capital, decent living wage for labor, larger profits for farmers through lower railroad shipping rates and settlement of all industrial dis putes through conferences between employer and employe with the golden rule as the basis of settlement was made tonight by James J. Davis. Sec retary of Labor, in an address before the Loyal Order of Moose.
 MT. Davis warned labor that if it is to take share in the policies of the nation, it must also take share in the nations responsibilities and de- clared that labor must see that trans- portation conditions were such that the farmer could make a fair profit.
 He upheld the right of capital, as well as labor. to present it's side of all controversies, and then warned capi- tai that decent living wage for labor was necessary to assure loyal Ameri- canism among the workers From time to time the large em- ployers of labor, and some of them justly so, have been made the football of muckrakers," said Secretary Davis They have been painted in every color save that of the lilly, and when they have striven to give their side of ths case they have been charged with the dread crime of propagandism, as though the employers as well as the employees hadn't right to present their differences without being show. cred with charges.
 Tt is great deal better for labor and capital to get together and settle their own differences, and I am sure they will reach an agreement much easier than by having the Secretary of Labor or any one else adjust their differences
 Give the men and women decent living wage, for the way to make a loyal American is to make America mean something to him in the way of happy home. family circle, food, clothing and self-respect
 Labor for generations has been fighting a defensive fight for it's rights, Now it has reached the stage Where 1t proposes to take a share in the direction of the policies of the na- tion. Its viewpoint must become con structive' If it is to continue to share the confidence and prosperity of the nation. it must share in the responsi bilities
 The farmer markets his labor in the form of food. and at present at very low prices The farmer will not con- unue his food production on that basis The workers of this nation must recogsl nize this situation and what it means to labor if it is not corrected They must see to it that transportation charges are so adjusted that the farm CTS product must reach it's normal market without mourning an expense so great as to eliminate the possibility or an adequate return to the producer. They must recognize the Fundamentals equality of the labor that enters into rood production and that which enters into manufacture. commerce and in- dustry"

To Relieve Catarrh,
 Catarrhal Deafness
 And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness who are growing hard of hearing and have head noises will be glad to know that this distressing afflietion can usually be successfully treated at home by an internal medicine that in many instances has ef- fected complete relief after other treat ments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing re- stored to such extent that the tick of a watch plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore if you know of someone who is troubled with head noises catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf ness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made follows:
 Secure from your druggist oz Parmnt Double Strength) Take this home and add to it X pint of hot water and little granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take tablespoonful four times day.
 Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to eoualze the air pressure on the drum but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are nearly always quick and effective.
 Every person who has catarrh in any form or distressing rumbling, hissing sounds in their ears. should give this re- cipe trial.--Adv.

 remarkable recovery.
 The thrilled tonnage of the Steel Cor poratlon at the close of the first three months of this year was as follows:
 January ,573, ,164.
 February 33,867.
 March-6,284,765.
 But what was the thrilled tonnage at the close of the same months in 1919? It was as follows:
 January-6,6 ,684, ,268.
 February 101,7
 March-5, ,43O,572.
 And what was the thrilled tonnage at the close of December, 1919, and 192Oo It was as follows:
 December, 1919- -8,265, 1866.
 December, 1920-8, JAS, 122.
 In the twelve months. between the un- filled tonnage was much larger, so com plete was the recovery from the low mark of the spring of 1919. The spring of 1921 finds the thrilled tonnage averaging be- tween 800,000 and 100000 tons more than the spring of 1919 Indications of recovery are as substantial now as then. Is that bad condition?
 The Woodward Iron company closed down all it's furnaces several weeks ago. but it did the same thing this time in 1919. 1t has already been forced to resume at one of it's stacks because it's stocks of iron on yards had become so depleted as to deny good business practice if further re- duced
 Machine shops manufacturing sugar house machinery for Cuba are finishing up old orders with very little of the new in the immediate prospect. On the other hand fOundrieS of a general nature all through the south and southwest are or dering small quantities of coke and pig iron for rush shipment
 One Birmingham iron maker booked thirty-five to forty car lot orders week be- fore last. There was not one larger order placed, but each of these car lots was wanted now Orders for these small lots have been coming by long distance tele- phone and by telegram. Personal appeal for rush shipments is the order of the day It is getting that way with iron mills.
 Coke makers are in receipt of this avalanche of car lot orders and they too are urged to make prompt shipment The small foundries want their small Quanti- ties of coke and iron on the spot because they have none of either for the working up of their orders for finished product.
 Municipalities throughout the country are on the tip-toe of ordering large quan- titles of high pressure pipe for water mains. Many competitive biddings have been thrown out because prices were re- garded as too high. But they are going at it again and the promise is of some of theS biggest pipe business that has been let in more than year.
 Alabama furnaces have precious little iron on yards Any kind of buying move ment would eat itup. On the other hand, the Alabama iron masters have their furnaces in prime form for renewal of operations and, at moment $ notice, they can attain normal production and be headed to maximum.
 Birmingham should not forget 1919. Neither should it forget that industrial peace again reigns. It would be poor sort of place if we had syllabus all tie time.
