-----------e--------- FIFTY COAL MEN INDICTED
More Than 900 Counts, Rep
 resenting as Many Transactions

Knoxville, Tenn, January 3.-Tne fed eral grand jury today returned 2S indct- ments against 70 local coal companies and dealers and against their proprie- tors and managers, alleging that these defendants had been guilty of demand ing and charging unjust and exorbitant prices in producing and handling of coal during last year.
 All indictments returned were against mining companies or brokerage con cerns the evidence presented generally showing that the retail dealers on the whole were not receiving excessive prices for their coal. Numerous instances ap- peared where the retail dealer had paid as high as S11.50 per ton for his coal f. o. b. the mines.
 The United States Attorney states, however, that the special agents from the department of justice will continue to make investigations with reference to profiteering and that their particular at tention will be directed toward the ,e- tail companies which companies at pres ent can obtain coal at greatly reduced prices.
 In the indictments returned there are more than 900 counts, each count repre- senting a separate transaction in one car of coal, one indictment having as many as T counts. In some counts II was alleged that certain of the defend ants had made as high as $7.5O per ton profit on their coal. while there are hun dreds of counts alleging that the profit was s or more.
 Practically in all cases, except one, the alleged highest profits were made by the producing or mining companies.

FROM BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT ORE
 TO THE FINISHED OCEAN STEAMER
CARDINAL BACK HOME
Venerable Prelate Stands Return Trip
 Remarkably We'll
By Associated Press


 Baltimore, January 3.-For the firs' time since December 12, when he was stricken after service in St. Johns church, Cardinal Gibbons slept tonight in the plain little room in his residence where he has lived and worked for many years. He was removed to his home to- day by automobile from the Robert T. Shriver home in Union Mills. Apparently he suffered very slightly from the fa' tigue of the journey.
 The windows of the cardinals room were dark tonight, and it was reported by members of his household that he was sleeping as peacefully as child, In his heart, the priests of the venerable prelate's official family said. was feel ing of great gladneSs to be home again.
 The cardinals physicians, Dr. Charles and~ pr. G, Louis Wetzel, were pleased at the way in which he wthstood the fatigue of the trip. AL though advantage had been taken of an favorable turn r--his illness to bring him home the physicians were somewhat uneasy as to the outcome. Due to the extreme. weakness induced even in a robust man by long soJourn in bed, they would not have been sur prised if a temporary setback had re- suited from the 35-mile trip. Only the ordinary reaction of slight fatigue oc- cured.
 pr. ODonovan and Dr. Wetzel believe that the easing of the cardinals anxiety to be back in the home atmosphere that has grown dear to him will have ben eficial effect on his health. This desire has been expressed by the prelate sew eral times in the last few days.

EVERY CENT GOES ID
 STARVING CHILDREN
Overhead Expenses of Euro pean Relief Campaign Is Fi-
 nanced by Wealthy Men

Every church, every school, every lodge, every woman's club, every civic organization in the city are to be sweep Birmingham and Jefferson county from one end to another, making a personal appeal to practi- cally every man and woman, urging that each give to the utmost to save the lives of starving children in Flu rope, if the plans of the Birmingham committee of the Alabama divisicn of the European relief council are carried out.
 This was the general plan outlined at meeting of the committee under the temporary chairmanship of pr. J. E. billiard, at the Civic association rooms last night. The work of select ing a permanent chairman to engineer the appeal in the city and county will be completed at once and under his direction the organization is expected to make rapid headway.
 While plans for this huge machine are being completed in Birmingham, similar organizations are being shaped in other sections of Alabama and when the statewide appeal officially gets under way it is believed that few places of business, homes or indi- viduals will he overlooked
 Tt is such a tremendously big thing, this saving of these children that there will be no difficulty in ob- taining all the workers needed in lay ing the appeal before the people of the state," declares Erskine Ramsay, chair man of the Alabama division. Ut is an appeal that is backed by practically every organization in the United States and that means the lives of 3,500, 900 in Europe
 And one of the finest things about it is the absolute knowledge of those who give, that every dollar they do. nate is going to be used to help save the lives of these unfortunate little children. The national organization,

No Other Section of World Can Boast Possessing All That Goes Into One Major h. duStry

Bessemer City, seventh ocean freighter built in Birmingham s yard of raw material is mined and quarried and converted and fabri- cated in that yard, is about to be launched from the ways of the Chickasaw shipbuilding and Car company at Mobile.
 Seventh messenger of Birming- ham to all peoples and all coun- tries, carrying Birmingham goods and prestige and familiarizing them with these products and the place of their making, will soon have joined the six that are already go- ing about or have circumnavigated the globe.
 One of the happiest and crispest summaries of the feat represented by this shipbuilding industry built on top of and completed alongside the raw materials that entered into its making. was contributed by Charles Francis Wood in a recent article in American Industries. MT. Wood wrote:
 'Tn the shops at Fairfield, a sub. r~b of Birmingham, in n mountain valley 250 miles from the sea, Io.- O00-ton freight ships of n design the equal or superior of anything afioat are being built 70 per cent complete from materials, most of which are dug or produced from the surrounding mountains, within sight of the plant. They are being constructed to standardized pInns, much as Ford turns out his automo- piles.
 "The materials ready to be nut together for these ships are car- ried on barges down the Warrior river. starting from the Port of Birmingham, IS miles from the city limits. and arc delivered at the shipyards near Mobile, where the bow and stem are fashioned and erected and the completed ships launched at the rate of one a month.
 'These ships are sailing from the port of Mobile for all parts of the world, carrying southern products, and not only the ship itself, but nearly everything it carries, is Ala bama from keel to truck"
 The fabrioating shops at Fairfield have men beneath them digging coal, and within gunshot ore is be- Ing blasted and limestone Is being crushed for Aux. In the same yard the coal is converted into coke that smelts the ore and iron is converted into the steel that is fabricated into standardized forms for ships.
 All that remains after this is done in Birmingham yard is 10 place the standardized ship parts on barges at Port of Birmingham. float them down the Warrior river to the Chickasaw yards, and assemble the completed ship. The ships do not move out of the bay until they are loaded with Alabama products and start on their voyage around the world.
 This achievement is not possible anywhere else in the world It all comes out of the proximity of the coal, the ore and the limestone. That is basic. It is what nature gave Birmingham and gave no other place on earth. The ships are the inevitable ultimate that auto matically followed in time the dis covery of these treasures.
