PRODUCTION HERE TO HOLD UP WELL
 FOR 1924, BELIEF
Coal Mines In Alabama Feeling Effects Of
 Many Strikes :

First quarter production in the Bir- mingham industrial district warrants the belief that 1924 will compare fa- yorably with other years. While pig iron continues noticeably quiet. steel and coal conditions are healthy and other industries are humming with ac- tivity, .r..
 Coal mines of the state have already begun to feel the effect of the strikes in Kentucky, Oklahoma. Kansas and other states, and it is likely that this will be even more in evidence if the labor troubles continue. One large rail road placed its 1925 order for sup plies in Alabama last week and.a sue cession of these from other carriers are expected in the near future.
 Pig Iron Weakens
 A slight weakening in the pig iron market is reflected in drop in price, as low as $22 being quoted. This de. crease has been considered inevitable by those in close touch with the situ- ation. and the low figure was not al together surprising. Real estate continues to be active in the district, not only in downtown property but to residential dwellings as we'll. The increased speculation in the business district is expected to es- tablish new high price frontage marks on downtown property if the deals hanging fire go through as per sched- ule during the next week. ;

GLENN SUPPORTER
 OF FORD'S OFFER
Heads Realty Brokerage Firm At
 Muscle Shoals

One of the closet students of the de- velopment of. Muscle Shoals is Walter H. Glenn, head of realty concern bearing his nam1, which has been an active organization in the. district for 32 years.
 Glenn, as are the. ma jority of other longtime citizens of the community, is supporter of Ford, but he has enough faith in the development of the dis trict. to vision it's progress irrcgardlcss of who operates Wilson dam.
 But there is this much about it. Glenn says. the magic of Ford's name would attract the cream of industries here. He would have an immense amount of capital for the. development of the country's resources. and foi that reason the sentiment is strongly in favor of him.
 '"The Alabama Power company has been practically eliminated from the running. Their motive was entirely selfish in the first place because they are afraid of the competition Ford could make. If a referendum should be held here doubt if the power com pany would get even one vote.
 The Glenn company does large amount of rental business in the dis. trict. acting as brokers entirely, and not developers. They act as agents for 15 large mercantile establishments in the three cities, Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia.

 MISSION CLOSES
Easter Services At Church Of Advent Attended By
 Huge ThrOngs

Easter services at the Church of the Advent were attended by congrega tions that taxed the capacity of the church to the limit. The early com munion service had the largest number of communicants ever assembled at an early service in the, history of the church, and at the 10 80 o'clock morn ing service, every seat in the church was filled, and chairs were placed ip the aisles to take care of the over flow. Holy communion was celebrated by Dr. Barnwell. .... . The church was profusely decorated with Easter lilies and spring blos- sons and flowers. Full choral service was used at the morning meetings. by an augmented choir. AsSan offertory, Mrs. O. l.. Stephenson sang, "I Know That My Redeemer Lipeths2
 The children's festival and the young peoples meeting helds Sunday afternoon were very colorful and well attended. Mir. Hadley made a special address to the young people. Constnacy of a father love was the theme that ran through the life story of Henry H. Hadley of the Mercer Hadley mission, related to the large congregation Sunday night at the Church of the Advent. This was the concluding meeting of the mission that ran through the past week and the congregation paid the missioner the closest attention as he dwelt upon scenes of n life that.lwas brought into touch with the evils and tempta tions of great city.
 In simple. earnest language. he told The tale of boyhood spent with god 1 less people: of his youth at the pre- pdratory school; of the later struggles and temptations, the temporary success es and then the long continuous ex- cesses in the slums of New York city. and his final conversion and dedication of his life to evangelism.
 God used my fathey love to bring Christ into my heart" said NIr. Hadley. Gone now lis the gnawing appetite for drink, gone the craving for deadening drugs. gone the itching for cards and games of chance thank God that did not die in my sins. and that God gave me the chance to go up and down this land bearing living wit ness to the saving grace that is in Christ Jesus
 Mir. Hadley and Mir. Mercer will leave Monday for Montgomery. where they will conduct mission at St. Johns Episcopal church.

NICE PEOPLE
 AT JEFFERSON
High Comedy To Be Pre- sented By Players For
 The Coming Week

She smoked cigarettes. she drank cocktails, she liked, parties that began about II o'clock and ran from then Oh, but still she was nice people. She is Teddy Gloucester. the thoroughly mod ern. the thoroughly likeable heroine of Nice People, the comedy drama sue cess of the decade to be presented all this week by the All-Star .. Jefferson Players. .aa ei-s
 Farce romance; ,melodrama-1these have been offered by the Jefferson Players to the delight of Birmingham. and now they will charm in different but just as effective medium. high com edy. Miss Kathleen Comegys is the girl; ]. Glynn MacFarlane is the hero, while Russell Fillmore supplies more comedy. Miss Elaine Davies will be seen in the role she had in the original Broadway production while A. s. Byron. Deforrest Dawley. Miss Tam zon Manker, Miss Helen Ray and Peter Buffers are congenially cast
 Sprishtly Comedy -
 "Nice People, 'is1 expected to prove one of the most pleasing offerings the All-Star Jefferson Players has made to Birmingham theatregoers, which is very high praise indeed -,.
 Although Nice People is sprightly comedy. written with the dish and bril- liancy that Rachel Crothers' pen always commands, the story concerns itself with one of the vital problems of the hour. Miss Brothers has taken for her theme the fast pace, the lax manners, the flouting of propriety by the young people of New York society. Her Teddy" Gloucester: 1eader' of coterie of these nice people, is a high-spirited, spoiled, self-willed daughter of wealth who plunges into an eseapade that self from this dilemma and finds love and happiness in her regeneration, is told in a succession of scenes never flagging in humor. .ss

TRADE AWAITING
 CARTS REMARKS
Excellent Steel Corpora ton Earnings For First
 Quarter Expected

NEW YORK, April 20. fBy the Associated Press. )-Little change was apparent in the character of the in- dustrial reports which were received in business and financial quarters during the last week. A continuation of the slight slackening in steel production was taken as normal consequence of -is Gaieter buying of the last several ! weeks. It was pointed~out. however, that production still was large with the leading interests working at ,approxi- mately 90 per cent, of capacity.
 The trade was awaiting Judge Gary's remarks at the annual meeting lof the steel scorporation and for the publication of the first quarterly earn ing statement and the dividend action which will come next week. It was thought that the earnings for the first three months of the year would be ex- cellent and that good business in the second quarter would be forecast.
 Auto Industry Watched
 Curtailments in the automobile in- dustry continued to be subject for considerable discussion. Conditions iwere decidedly uneven,- some compa- nies running nearly full while others
 
 The larger manufacturers having made an unusually large number of cars dur ing the first quarter of the year are better able to satisfy the spring de- mand for their products than former ly was the case. The result has been ba reduced demand for the less popu- lar cars. Sales to users are stated to compare favorably with last year and to be increasing with the advent of warm CT weather.
 Z Railroad carloadings showed another decrease, but this again. was due prin- cipally to the slump in coal produc- ton and shipment. Bad weather also has affected the record for the week ended April 5, the last for which fig ures were available. Shipment of mer- chandise and less than carload freight, however, remained substantially ahead of the corresponding week of any oth- CT year and were slightly higher than the preceding week.
 Commodity Prices Primer
 Commodity prices displayed a some what firmer tone.. The declines in grain and sugar prices terminated with fair rallies. Cotton values gave way somewhat on profit taking, but recov- cred we'll and attained a fair degree of stability. Cotton consumption sta- tistics for March had comparatively little effect on the market. They show ed that curtailment had continuedt but that it was not on as..severe scale as had been imagined. The March takings by the country's mills amount ed to 4S4,O00 bales, 78 per cent of that in March a year ago when the high record for the postwar period was reached. Stocks in warehouses and marketing establishments which am6unt to about three months supply at the March rate of consumption and ex- ports,. are nearly 100000 bales small CT than at this time last year.
 ;. With the leading European exchanges rallying briskly to new high levels for the year, much encouragement was de- rived from the speedy acceptance of the Dawes plan by the governments of the leading European allias and of Germany. The manifest desire to press

acceptance before the general elections in France and Germany was taken as a testimonial of an earnest. wish for a general settlement by all the parties of the reparations dispute.
 This was considered indicative of improved European morale and of a desire to clear the way for the negotia- tionuof the international loan which the Dawess plan recommends.
