lars to buy what one will now pur

it" that is the aim, would be to start
the government paper mills going
and issue paper dollars. If prices
are "to be increased through the .de
preciation of the purchasing agent
money, it certainly would not'be an
unmixed blessing. Unless wages in
creased in the same proportion as
ther commodities it is evident that the
wage earner would not be benefited.
As shown by the report of the Sen
finance Committee, wages aver-;.g--d
over thirty per cent higher in

tl;e ce'i.sus of 1890 the earnings of la
bor increased over forty per cent, .as
compared With the prior census a
period of ten years. If, therefore,
toe staple necessities oflife -have fall

immense advantage has been reaped
by the wge earner. I here never

they had obtained. ' Vic Casey jumped
into a passing vehicle containing a
man and woman and at the point of a
pistol compelled them to jump out.
Almost before they had time to obey
his command, Chief of Police Milt

two Christians, Casey and several offi

The Tennesse Coal, Iron it Railroad
company sold a considerable lot of iron
at the new priees yesterday the market
is active and continues to strengthen
day by day. A reporter called on Pres
ident Baxter of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron & Railroad company . at his pri
vate residence yesterday for the. pur
pose of interviewing him. Mr. Baxter
was in the best of spirits and in re
sponse to the reporters question, said:
"We made the advance in iron today
because we were selling that 'iron at
the former price, than we were mak
ing, and on the account of activity and
strength of the market and also to put
us on an equal footing with the north
ern and eastern.
The advance today of SI ton makes a
total advance of 2.23 we have had "on
our iron since March 15. The advance
of Bessemer iron at the same time has
been 3.50.
Under this price coal miners working
in mines of the Tennessee Coal, Irou &
Railroad company in this district are
entitled to au. advance ia their wages
of 50 cents a ton for mining coal. So
soou as we announced the advance in
iron, we immediately notified the min
ers that from and after July 1, they
would receive 50 cents a ton more for
mining than we have been paying
them.
Notice to this effect have been posted
today at all of our coal mines in Ala
bama. " ' '
The Tennessee Coal. Iron & Railroad
company have about 3,000 miners em
ployed and the increase in wages
amounts to about 15 per cent.
"The pcrplc of this community have
great cause to be -congratulated, con
tinued Mr. Baxter," on this advance
in the price oi iron and the inerea.-i in
wages of miners, as. Birminghyx is
more largely identified with . t. al
and iron industries than any o',.r
Tl' !f 1 iS" ! W rn" ffi C .i d va. ri ee in irStTi
aa.i w.igts. it mean j a great deal more
money for distribution and circulation,
and will attract labor."
Continuing. Mr. B: xter said :
"Tlii.-i advance in iron today brings
it np to are prices of JS9.',- but is sliil
lower than the prices that prevailed
prior to the panic of IS'JO."
Mr. Baxter predicted that iron would
go slid higher' this year even within a
short time. In &peal:ing of coal, Mr.
Baxter said the Tennessee' Coal, Iron &
Bullion I eomp iny were 'opening- the
Henry-Ellen mines located twenty
miles - en st of - Birmingham.- on the
doc.thern railwav. By July 1, they

the mine at that point, which has been
closed the past four years, and during
the fall and winter they expect to make
them a large amout of this very supe
rior coal. The coal mines there is
equal obtained from any mines in Ala
bama for grate uses. ' !
Lumber is another article which is
manufactured on an extensive scale in
Alabama. A prominent luu-ber dealer
state ! yesterday, that-he .expected an .'
advance in the price of lumber in a few
days. He said lumber 'nd iron usual- '
ly rise and fail in about the-same pro-.;
portion. The demand for lumber he j
said, is good and the market .displays '
considerable activity. The Jamison,
lumber company, located at Jemison,
on the L. & N. ro'.ul about fifty miles
south of Birmingham has. advanced
the wages of its employes li 1-3 per
cent. i
