The Constitution salutes Shriners visiting Atlanta as fifty to sixty thousand guests and sightseers descend on the city. The piece promises a colossal, intricate hospitality effort, hailing the Shrine as a vast, diverse fraternity and urging Atlantans to prioritize guest comfort and civic cooperation during a week of joyous fellowship.
Persistent rumors claim the justice department may pursue dissolution proceedings to remove the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Company and its Birmingham steel plant from United States Steel. The Constitution prints a Clyde L. King letter and Sanford article excerpts describing the widespread damage to the industrial south if dissolution occurs. The south relied on U S Steel to compete with Pittsburg and lay steelmaking groundwork.
The article argues that northern iron and steel power dominates, harming southern manufacturers like Atlanta Agricultural Works. Birmingham's entry by a Pittsburg firm reshapes the field, pushing toward southern domination if government separates the rivals. A wholesale monopoly breakup could ruin southern growth and harm the economy, prompting protest to Washington against a harmful trust busting.
The Convention association of Denver, Cole, and the Hotel Men's association of Atlanta formed a reciprocal publicity compact.

A rhythmic pastiche by Frank L. Stanton celebrates Shriners visiting Atlanta. Street dances fill the town as bands play and widows from Billville join the crowds with suffragette lights, turning the city into a vast open ballroom.

He notes southern firms now rely on U S Steel's Birmingham Ensley and Bessemer plants, buying up to 90 percent of steel from the Tennessee company, lowering costs and improving delivery.
Clyde L. King of Atlanta argues that dissolution would stagnate Southern industries while Hugh W. Sanford warns steel's rise demands large capital and scale. He cites limited 19th century Southern success, freight costs against Pittsburg, and U S Steel’s South investments as pivotal in creating a competitive steel economy in the region.
