LABOR ID SUPPORT GOOD ROADS ISSUE,
 SAYS |. |. HAROLD
State Chairman F. J. Cram- ton, Local County Chair man, and w. L. Harri-
 son Have Conference

The campaign in Jefferson county in behalf of the S25,O0O,OOO highway state bond issue is entering the final two weeks prior to election, with promise of an overwhelming ma lority, according to prediction of County Chairman Charles l.. Harold
 Reports from various precints of the county coming into the cam paisn headquarters at the Civic As- sociation indicate that this amend ment to the constitution of Alabama. which received a majority vote of 1G to two-years ago, will again meet with popular favor in both city and rural precincts
 Labor to Support
 A local development of the past week was the announcement issued saturday night to the effect that as Inc result of a conference between State Chairman r. J. Cramton of Montgomery, President w l.. Har- rison of the State Federation of La- Dor. and County Chairman Harold, the labor organizations will again actively support the amendment. Preparations are being made at the headquarters of the State Federation 0: Labor to mail out literature on the bond issue to the various units throughout the state, requesting en- crgetic cooperation with local com initteemen in their canvass for the bond issue.
 The fact that hundreds of men now unemployed will be put to work during 1922 if the amendment car rTln xnQ .xI r. with the labor forces" says MT. Harold.
 Projects which call for the total expenditure of approximately S4,- 200, ,000 immediately the amendment is ratified, has general appeal dur ing the continued unemployment stress. This refers to the combna tion of the federal aid and the state aid to come from the proceeds of the bonds, which. united, call for an expenditure estimated at this sum.
 Fully Appreciated
 "The federal authorities have al- ready sapproved the projects and it will only remain to advertise for bids to put them into execution. This expenditure will also mean a con siderable market for building ma aterials produced in the Birmingham district, thus increasing orders of tho producers in the various plants located here"
 The past week witnessed many speeches in this county, including addresses before the Birmingham Association of Social Workers, all panels of jurors, the Spanish Amer ican club, the Auburn Alumni asso- citation, the Ciyitan club. the League of Women Voters and other organi- Ions. favorable to the issue. It is planned to increase the number or speakers and the volume of liter ature on the subject during the two weeks that remain. Speakers are in demand and the Civic Association -oesires to enroll volunteers. Phone Main 1413.

Volume of Business In Steel Market Is
 Still Rather Small
Ny Aasaniatnd Press

New York, January 14.-The vol ume of business in the steel market since the turn of the year has not improved as much as was expected in some quarters, and on the whole the demand is rather slow. Buyers are not anticipating future needs to any great extent, and the buying that Is going on is mostly for immediate requirements. The market Is in a firm statistical position, however. and the trade generally is very op- timistic over the future and Is look ing for slow but steady expansion.
 Pig iron continues inactive but steady. Demand at the moment is small.
 Copper has remained comparatively quiet. but some of the small lots of- fered at concessions have been ab- sorbed and the market showed a gen orally firm tone at the end of the week. Business reported has includ- ed sales of electrolytic to domestic consumers at 1924 cents. and sales for exports so far this month are be- lieved to have averaged 500 tons per day. The leading producers who have been quoting nothing below the 1s- cent basis have maintained their po- sition and offerings from second hands or smaller producers who have been shading prices have become less active. A somewhat better inquiry from wire drawers have developed, but brass makers have been out of the market and foreign consumers have appeared more inclined to buy on recessions than the domestic grade.
 Tin firmer, due to delay to sup phes in transit.
 Lead is in firm statistical posi- tion, and leading producers are ask ing premiums over prompt for Feb ruary shipment.
 Zinc steadier with little more de. mand from consumers and some in- quiry from the orient. Antimony continues easy under scattered sell ing pressure. as consumers are fairly well supplied and there is very little export demand.

Hy RICHARD F. JOHNSTON

With distinctly bright prospects In several lines Birmingham district in dustrial plants have made good start of a new year.
 Finishing mills of the Tennessee company are continuing the same sat- isfactory capacity of production with which they entered the year. Five of the nine open hearth furnaces are active and indicate the finishing mill production. Rail mill remains on schedule of 5000 tons week. Car works Is turning out about 10 cars per diem. Two-thirds Of the by product plant Is In operation. All the Bessemer mills are going.
 Gulf States Steel is operating three of it's open hearths and all the fin- ishing mills.
 Orders for wire and nails are heavier than they were in December and wire drawing mills are running at greater capacity than just before the holidays. Jobbers have begun enter ing the market again.
 Hoop and band mills are still idle.
 In spite of a idll in buying, pipe shops, both high pressure and san itary, expect very good business this spring owing to the large amount of structural work known to be on tapis. Sanitary pipe was marked down to a base of $37 for standard and s3S for extra heavy during the week.
 Full Time in 1921
 Among the gratifying reports of plant operations of 1921 Is that made by the Steel Cities Chemical coW- pany. It operated on full turn dur Ing the year and marketed its output It resumed in full promptly after one or two days at Christmas. This plant Is about to receive it's first cargo of sulphur up Warrior to Fairfield. The freight saving Is 20 per cent.
 Big February Lettings
 Face brick manufacturers report a very satisfactory half year. doing twice the business in the last six months of 1921 as In the first six. Plants are on full time in confident expectation of excellent spring bus mess. Architects say February let tings will be much larger than usual Birmingham face brick goes into all the southeastern states.
 Still another industry reporting full operations in 1921 is that of the Sou' thern Sewer Pipe company, makers of clay pipe. This product also goes iillo luc SoulHedbteTn Stdles.
 With Cement Plants
 As heretofore stated, the cement plants of the district made more cement and shipped more cement In 1921 than in any previous year. The district in which they are located made decidedly the best showing of all other cement districts.
 The plant of the Atlas Cement com pany at Leeds produced and shipped more than 100000 barrels last year and is producing about $500 barrels per diem now
 New Plant Plans
 None was surprised to hear that the Dexter Cement company, of Nag areth. Pa, has an eye on the Bir- mingham district, and to that end, had incorporated the White Star Coal and Cement company, capital sS,o00, 900, with view to building a 1000, 900 bar rels capacity cement plant at Village Springs on the Birmingham Mineral.
