Associates Press Report.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August 1S.-The
latest news from the Warrior mines
strike makes the situation very serious.
The strikers have had twenty three of
the new Italian miners arrested on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons.
The company say they will start to work
tomorrow with new men. The strikers,
who number 200, declare that they will
resist by violence if necessary anybody's
working in the mines but themselves
until satisfactory adjustment is made of
their differences.
From specials to the Daily Age it
seems that the situation at the Warrior
coal mines has assumed a peculiar
status. The strikers who objected to the
employment of Italian labor are stub
bornly holding out, while twenty-three
Italian newcomers are in Jail in default
of bond on the charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons and firing pistols in pub
lie. The regular rniners are the prose

She then ran out of the house, when her
