DISTRICT ENJOYS GRATIFYING YEAR; OUTLOOK IS GOOD.
Full Time Operations Rule At Most Of The
 Larger Plants

Industrial Birmingham has experi- enced generally satisfactory year.
 The district has ad a unique 12 months in many respects and has the distinction of being the only industrial district which has experienced full time operations in many of its larger plants.
 Noteworthy among the achievements of the year is the enviable record of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, which has operated nearly 100 per cent over the greater part of the year which is in strong contrast to the part time operations reported from many of the other important industrial and mining centers of the country.
 Birmingham's coal mining record for the year. while slightly below that of 1923 is a source of great qualification to operators who Saturday declared they are facing the new year with re- newed determination to shatter many old but enviable records.
 The relghting of number of fur naces in the district, noteworthy among which was the Vanderbilt and some of the recently acquired properties of the Sloss- Sheffield company has marked the closing days of the old year and means steady employment to a great number of laborers. Those in close touch with the situation are confident that the small surplus of labor here soon will be steadily employed.
 Many large orders have been booked by the T. c. I. plants durnig the lat ter part of the year, especially since the presidential election and that com pany is known to have business enough on its books to assure almost 100 per cent operations during the year just dawning.
