HIGH IRON IS NOT
 PROSPERITY BASIS
(Continued from Page one )

| but several northern furnace com. panies who formerly supplied then with iron are actively at work on lplans for the erection of pipe foundries If these plans are carried through, the Birmingham district can say good-by to the tonnage that we are now sup plying in four or five middle hortherr states.
 1 AS our wage scale gradually in- creases and we lose the advantage in this respect that we have had over the north, the tendency is to localize all lines of business where heavy ton mage prevails. The present high freight rates are a prime factor in bringing this about. If the present situation should continue for some time, 1 predict that the Birmingham district will be supplying only a rel atively small section of the country where heretofore we have been ship ping our products to practically all parts of the United States" Foreign Competition Arrives.
 Paul A. Ivy, vice president and general sales manager of the Ameri- can Cast Iron Pipe company, de- clared that foreign competition with the pressure pipe industry in the Birmingham district was no longer d pOSSlDlAilyt put u ldCL.
 Pipe makers have no desire to sound cry of Wolf over the loss of an order on the Pacific coast to a French foundry" said MT. Ivy
 However, we believe there is a significance to the incident that means much to the pipe and pig iron business and allied industries of the Birmingham district.
 "The lesson we get out of the in- cident is that the scope and vision of business is continually widening The old provincialism of business is gone. And this means that the mor- als of business must be improved fof expediency, if nothing else. There are business men who have been try ing to get away from the old policy of getting all the traffic will bear who have been trying to put busi- ness on 8 higher plane of service to all parties concerned. In some cir cles their efforts have been consid- cred quite joke. But some of those who have been laughing, now are beginning to see that the idea at least may be good business, whether or not they care about the morals involved.
 High Iron A Handicap.
 "All of which means simply this to come down to cases: Birmingham has been obsessed with the idea that high priced pig iron means high prosperity. Merchants, newspapers public men, the citizens in general have grown enthusiastic when iron prices were going up. Now they may realize that higher iron prices mean higher costs for the finished iron product, and that when the ultimate consumer stops buying or buys else- where, the final result Is that the iron business itself suffers most.
 This happened in 1921, when the public staged buyers strike. The order lost to French pipe makers in- dicates we may be near to a similar situation again. It should warn the DE iron maker and the pipe maker that they have interests in common; that the prosperity of one depends on the prosperity of the other"

| DOPE SMUGGLING IS CUT TO MINIMUM,
 CLAIM OF SHERIFF

County officials Saturday admitted that drugs might have been snug gled into the county jail to prisoners confined there on charges of violat ing the narcotic laws. They pointed out that such prisoners devise means ot getting 1t, regardless of where they may be confined. It was claimed, however, that there was less dope" smuggling at the Jefferson county jail than in most other places where such prisoners are confined.
 Persons addicted to the use of dope are going to get 1t somehow, ,' said Sheriff T. ]. Shirley Saturday. We cannot hope to prevent any of it reaching them here, but we are doing everything we can to make it impossible. l believe we are meet .ng with success All packages for prisoners are carefully examined be- fore they are given to them"
 Sheriff Shirley and other county officials said tlSey thought less dope was being smuggled into the Jeffer- son county jail than into most other jails where narcotic violators are confined.
 Prisoners charged with violation of the Harrison act and other narcotic laws are often confined in the county jail pending trial and occasionally are sent there instead of to the peni- tentiary

Preferred Stock Supply Ebbs
 As Stadium Teams Dig Deeper

Prospects are excellent for the sale of all the remaining shares of pre- ferred stock in the new Birmingham stadium before another week has passed, according to Crawford John son, Jr., newly elected president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, which is sponsoring the stadium prof ect. More than half of this stock has already been sold and the rest is going fast, he said.
 A report will be made Monday to show exactly the progress made to date. It has been decided that pre- ferred stock will be strictly limited to 1000 shares. As soon as this num- Der has been reached, it is planned to stop the sale Holders of these shares will be entitled to obtain two select seats at all games and other contests staged In the stadium.
 Plans are already being made to

bring to Birmingham several of the most important athletic contests held in the south, forced in the past to go to other cities less favorably situa- ted because of lack of a suitable stadium here. Auburn and Vanderbilt will clash here in 1925. Next year the Tigers and Tennessee will meet in the newly finished stadium. Negotia- tions are also under way with sew eral big eastern teams that probably will break the monopoly hitherto held by these colleges on the big con tests because the south lacked fa- cilties for handling the crowds.
 The present $1,000 shares are being sold principally to prominent business men. Common stock will be put on the market soon and much of it has already been asked for by members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, which is furthering the project and will conduct the stadium for the best interests of the city.

CHILTON MAN DUE SIX DAYS OF LIFE LOST LAST WEEK

Life owes Thomas Welton Daven- port, 63-year-old Chiffon county citizen, six days spent in the Hill- man hospital and two $50 bills left in the band Cf a hat discarded in a Birmingham store.
 Davenport awoke to this realiza- ton Saturday morning. He had re- covere., his faculties, apparently missing since he was picked up at Third avenue and Twenty second street last Saturday hatiess and dazed.
 He and a friend brought bale of cotton to Birmingham, sold it and divided the proceeds, he told hospi- tai authorities. A severe headache attacked him after he had placed the bills in his hat, he said and he pur- chased a hat. He believes he left the money and the old hat in the store which benefited by the sale.
 Friends have been communicated with and will provide funds for the old mans return journey early next week.

MT. Ivy's opinion that there is too much boosting" of pig iron prices by the newspapers.
 'It is always an easy matter to tell the other fellow how to run his busi- ness" he said. Tt Is not nearly so hard to tell the furnace people the proper price policy to pursue as it is to make cast iron pipe. Any com ments, therefore, that I may make on the price of pig iron are made with the mental reservation that l am not trying to tell my furnace friends how to manage their business. I have quite enough to do to properly attend to my own.
 While this is true, it Is never a bad idea for a producer in any line to get the viewpoint of his custom CTS. My opinion for a good many years has been that there has been entirely too much boosting of the price of pig iron by the newspapers of Birmingham, and too little consid- eration given the purchasers of pig iron. There is an increasing number of pig iron consumers in the Bir- mingham district. and the permanent prosperity of the furnace companies depends on the prosperity of the local consumers. The higher the price of pig iron, the smaller the area over which Birmingham foundries can ship their products.
 "The price of pig iron, of course, as in all other lines, Is governed largely by the law of supply and demand. The cost increases somewhat with the demand because the conditions that create a demand for pig iron create a demand for labor, with con sequent scarcity and high wages. The price fixing, therefore, by the fur mace people is not altogether arbi- trary. But it does seem to me that there should be closer cooperation between the producer and the con sumer with a view to stabilizing the market and holding the territory The starting and stopping of blast furnaces is very expensive, and it should be more profitable to operate continually at a reasonable margin than to undergo the violent fluctu- ations which cause either feast or paign has produced far more money a famine in the pig iron market"
