WHITEWELL MINES
 PUT IN OPERATION
Resumption To Provide Work
 For 450 Men

After being idle for over nineteen months. the. Whitwell, Tenn, coal mines of the Tennesse Coal, Iron and Railroad company have resumed opera. tions. The resumption provides work for more than 450 men, at substantial wages.
 The prolonged idleness at Whitwell was accustomed by a strike declared several months ago. The policy of the Tennessee company to operate its plants on an open shop basis was ad- l,ered to. and work was suspended.
 Information received here Saturday was to the effect that the company has been able to perfect some needed improvements and repairs during the shutdown.
 The, output of the mines is used by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis railroad, except small tonnage sold in the domestic market.
 The Tennessee company extends to the mountain operation every benefit provided for the employees at Ensley and elsewhere. The same high grade schools are provided. medical attention and comfortable living conditions.
 The controversy with the Warrior was among the most prolonged ever experienced in southern coal fields.

 Deadlock Was Seen.
 "The chamber stepped in after it ap- peared certain that deadlock was about to develop. Two sets of plans were under consideration; they varied in many. details, and it looked like the city and the railroads were heading for court fight. General Sibert was called in because the chamber felt he was the best engineer in the south. He studied the situation carefully and made his re- port. The chamber met with the rail- roads and went over it. Then a meet ing with the commissioners was held. Later, the chamber committee met with both the commissioners and the rail- road heads, and an agreement was prac- tically reached. f=f
 'The chamber will not become in- volved in a controversy with the city, or anyone else. It will withdraw from the proceedings first. But our serv- ices are always available in any move ment in the interest of Birmingham.
 At one of the recent conferences, the railroads plainly stated that they would never agree to plan that re. quired the elevation of their tracks They contended that the city could mol legally force this on them, and made ii plain they would fight through all the courts to prevent it.'

 OF INTEREST HERE

Few changes in industrial officials of the past several years have created quite as much, interest as, the announce- ment that "A. F.

Hilleke was headed for the highest offices within the gift of that organ ization. The announcement was dis cussed in industrial circles with ln- usual interest, not only on account of the wide acquaintance or Mir.

 The opinion was frequently expressed that Mir. Hilleke would either. return to the company following few months vacation" or would be employed by the steel corporation for one of its asso- ciate plants. I
