is BAROMETER OF
.D|STR| T s. STATUS

The Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron
company, Alabama's largest mer-
chant iron interest, added to it's raw
material and iron making holdings
last week by purchase OF the proper
ties of the Sheffield Iron corporation.
This gives it three more blast fur
naces, one in good working condition,
and ore and coking plants in Ala
oama and Tennessee. The Sloss now
has interests extending from Bir
mingham to Muscle Shoals and will
soon have seven furnaces in blast
making iron for country wide dis
tribution. The company has a spe-
cial advantage in it's situation at
Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee river.
The iron MADE there goes to the St.
Louis and Chicago territory at rail
and water rates, much below the all
rail rates, and is that much more able
to compete with northern and west
ern iron in that field. With the new
furnace al Sheffield it will have 25,-
600 tons of iron per month to enter
that territory. The company has +,
duced its enormous accumulation of
coke to a quantity required for it's
own uses A large quantity of this
coke was shipped to the middle west
where it took the place of anthracite
coal and also established itself in
the foundry trade permanently. The
Sloss has long been Birmingham ms
barometer of general conditions. 1t
is now operating at practically 100
per cent in all departments and in
doing so reflects the generally excel
lent conditions of the di strict

ALABAMA BY-PRODUCTS
SHIPS ITS HIGH-GRADE
COKE OVER NATION

The Alabama By-Products corpo-
ration continues to enjoy that coun-
try-wide demand for its coke pro-
duction that it has built up in the
past few years, demand that has
grown as the coke has been used and
tested in foundries, furnaces. gas
houses and wherever high class coke
is used. The company soon found
that the original battery of so ovens
was not sufficient to meet demands
for it's output and last year it added
so per cent of capacity and has
needed it since to fill the wants of
its customers, who are scattered all
over the south and west and extend
a far as the Pacific coast. There is
also a standing export demand. The
company also furnishes gas for ope-
ration of several adjacent industries
and is to build a four and half mile
gas main into the heart of East Bir-
mingham TO serve a nest of large
industries there. Indications point
to complete absorption of its gas for
manufacturing purposes in a few
years. The by-products plant is sup
piled with the best grade of Goals
which are furnished by interests al
lied with it and the supply is regu-
lar because these interests have their
own cars running from mine to cox
ing works. The Alabama By-Prod-
ucts corporation has done much to

Of Buckner simultaneously and es-
capped in a motor car with approx
mately $4,000 in cash and $4,000 in
Liberty bonds. Posses tonight are

hold up two banks in the same town
at the same time. Buckner is %

BAKERS UNION HAS
NEVER HAD TROUBLE

The organization Of Local No. 8.
came about through a number of meT
employed in the various bakeries OF
Grays Harbor.
All OF the men were union men, but
most Of them we're affiliated with Lo.
cal No. 8 of Seattle, which did moi
satisfy the boys, as it was too fal
away to do any good down in this
neck of the woods.
On February Is, 1911, about twelve
or fourteen men got together for the
purpose Of forming their own local
and a charter was applied for from
Chicago, the International headquar-
ters, and received, and the number
Of 80 was given Aberdeen.
The first officers elected were I:
Christ Jensen, chairman; John KEN
berger. secretary, and Andrew Win
berg, treasurer.
OF these three men, Brother Win
berg is the only one still around Grays
Harbor and has been president of the
local since 1918. Also, he was treas
urer from the forming of the local un.
til about 1918.
The first agreement of wages and
hours was presented to employers in
1911 and was accepted and signed
and every year since about the last
week in April a committee of bakers
and employers meet for the purpose
of signing new agreements to take
effect May 1.
Local 80 has been very fortunate
in its history on account of not hav-
ing any strikes or lockouts. We have
always tried to ask for only what was
fair to both sides, in fact, Mr.. VIM.
Siese, one of the owenrs OF the Grays
Harbor Baking Co., was a great help
in getting the local organized in the
first place
OF the original charter members
three are still employed in local shops,
Andrew Winberg, VIM. Mattila and
Max Poschmann. Bro. Mattila was
president for number of years.
Bro. o. A. Miller, the present secre-
tary- treaeurer, Joined the local in
February, 1912, and was elected secre-
tary in May of the same year, and has
held the office continuously since that
date; elected to the joint office OF
secretary in 1918.
The local has about thirty members
at the present time, which includes
all the bakers employed on Grays
Harbor, as all are union shops.
In closing, Local 50 wishes to ex
tend its thanks to all the other locals
of the Harbor for coming to our as
sistance when we asked it, as once
in a while some employer runs away
with the idea that nOn-union shoI
is more to his liking; but sometimes
finds It costly, as one shop found oui
few years ago.
The Bakers local is affiliated with
the Aberdeen Central Labor Council
and the Washington State Federation
Of Labor.

Outside of the general election last
November, the Aberdeen Central
Labor Council has passed one Of the
most quiet years since it was organ
lied years ago. Preceding the cleo
ton, the council and the affiliated 10.
cal unions entered the campaign
whole-heartedly for Clarence Dill and
did its small part in defeating Miles
Poindexter, who had been unfavor-
able to labor.
There are at present p local unions
affiliated with the Central body, with
the exception of one of these, all have
enjoyed very harmonious relations
with the employers of the Harbor
The Plumbers were on strike for about
two weeks trying to force a wage
raise Of one dollar a day. It ended by
the employers and the union compro-
missing on fifty cents a day. A few
of the local unions had a grievance
with some individuals, but of so mild
a nature that it is hardly worth men,
tioning Generally all the locals have
signed agreements with the employ
ers and are on the best of terms. The
locals are also increasing their men,
bership and are otherwise in a pros
perouse condition.
