Wall Street today heard that an
agreement has been reached between
owners of American International
Corporation preferred stock and the
management, which will permit the
latter to work out satisfactory
capital REIMBURSEMENT plan. The big
obstacles to the proposed readjust-
ment has been the problem of pro-
vidingl for the preferred stock. The
terms 'of issue provide that the pre-
ferred shares shall receive one-fifth
of all profits above z per cent on the
common stock. AS long as that pro-
vision stands, it would be impossible
for the company to wipe out the
huge capital deficit. 1t is necessary,
therefore, to get rid of the preferred
stock, which 1t is understood will be
done under the new plan. Frank A.
Vanderlip is credited with being the
largest individual owner of the
American International preferred
stock.

Local Men Think Birmingham Will
 Benefit By Expansion

Announcement by Judge Ebert Gary in New York that the United States Steel corporation, will expend $15,O00,0O0 in improvements during the current year was received with in terest Thursday in Birmingham indus trial circles. While Judge Gary, chair man of the board of the steel corpora ton, did not specify the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company or the Birmingham district in connection with the items of expansion which he mentioned, announcement already has been made here that capacity of the steel foundry at Fairfield will be in creased approximately 90 per cent, and this is an improvement that will run into thousands of dollars. It is also anticipated that the. Birmingham dis trict will benefit still further during the year by the steel corporations pro- gram of expansion.
 Plans have not been completed for the addition to the Fairfield foundry, nor has a date been set for the begin ming of construction. The expansion of the plant is matter of natural growth. it is said, as also is the pro- posed erection of two new terrace type apartment houses at Fairfield. The housing shortage has been felt in Fair field as it has been felt everywhere else
