SANATORIUM GOAL is
ONLY $4,000 AWAY
Officials OF Campaign Optimistic
Over Outcome OF Drive

With total of $4,000 on the
dotted line and in the banks and
contributions coming in at a fairly
encouraging rate. officials of the
5000, 900 tuberculosis sanatorium cam =
paign Wednesday were optimistic
over the eventual outcome OF the
campaign.
Officials declared that the time was
past when any large number of large
subscriptions could be announced in
quick succession, but that industrial
plants of the city are turning in en-
couraging reports on pay dates. IN
nearly all of the industrial plants OF
the city where reports have not al
ready been made, workers are quietly
soliciting funds on the basis of each
workman contributing one day
wages to the campaign. The con-
tributions, however, can come only
after pay rolls are made up, sent to
home offices for auditing and re-
turned to Birmingham to be paid out.
On account of such circumstances
returns for the campaign are SLOW
in coming in and 1t may be several
weeks before the books finally are
closed. One contribution, which prob
ably will amount to several thousand
dollars, will be made late in June.
Features of Wednesdays campaign
according to Secretary j. l.. Dent,
was the receipt of a check from the
Pratt Consolidated Coal company for
$1,000 and $4,000 from the Boyles
employees of the Louisville and Nash
willie railroad. Both contributions
were previously announced, but con-
tributions were not actually received
at the time of announcement. With
Wednesdays subscription the total of
Louisville and Nashville shop en-
ployes approximated $4,000.
Total figures announced Wednes-
day do not include amounts sub
scribed to the campaign in Bessemer
or in number of other outlying
districts, Secretary Dent announced
Encouraging reports, however, are
coming in from the campaign in Bes-
semer. Reports from Industrial plants
in Bessemer yet are to be made, it
was said

CANADIAN EMBARGO
UPON PULP FEARED
Papermakers Say It Would Boost
Prices and Cost Jobs
of Thousands.

Proposed embargo by the Canadian
government on pulp wood exported to
the United States is declared to be
one of the most serious problems that
has confronted the American paper
industry in years In a statement
issued by the American Paper and
Pulp Association to its membership.
The statement asserts that should
such an embargo be effected 1t would
be a calamity to the paper industry
of this country
"The Canadian House of Commons
has passed a resolution empowering
the governor in council to. prohibit
the expectation of pulpwood to this
country from privately owned tim
berlands in Canada" says the state
ment, which is signed by DIR. Hugh
Baker, executive secretary of the
American Paper and Pulp Association.
For many years the pulp and paper
mills of. northern New York, New
England and the northern lake states
have purchased from 25 to 100 per
cent of their annual pulp wood re-
quire ments from the freehold lands
of Canada.
Many of our paper mills have be-
come so dependent on Canadian pulp
wood that an embargo would not only
cause extreme hardship but might
even force them to cease manufactUr-
ing.
Since the passage of this act at
Ottawa the leading newspapers of
eastern Canada have commended the
action very highly and urged its
early application. Should the Do
minion act, as it is now empowered
to do. a number of mills in northern
New York and elsewhere would. be
forced to close, meaning the loss of
important industries to the state and
the throwing out Of employment of
large numbers of wage earners.
Such action by Canada would. in
fact. be a calamity for the paper
industry in the United States. 1t is
unnecessary to discuss the effect of
such an embargo upon the paper In
dustry of the United States. The
prices OF wood and pulp would re-
spond Immediately to such an en-
barge. and if prices of wood and pulp
advance >the public will Immediately
feel the effect of this embargo in the
increased cost of all paper.
This threatened agsressiveness
upon the part Of Canada puts up TO
our industry one of the most serious
, problems with which we have been
confronted in years. There is need
for immediate and aggressive action.
