THE ALABAMA MINERS.

Gov. Jones Urges Their Leaders to Con-
tinue TO Act with Discretion.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April A.-Gov-
ernor Jones, who Is still in Birmingham,
this afternoon had a long conference with
a committee from the miners of this dis
trict, consisting of j. ID. Thompson, Of
Pratt mines; John Lamont, of Cardiff;
7. ID. Roberts, of Blockton, and Frank
Founcer, of Wylam, but declined to give
any Of the particulars of what trans
pired. He took occasion, however, to
say that many of the dispatches being
sent from this district were viciously
sensational, and give rise 10 the most
unfounded and unjust opinions of the
attitude Of the bulk Of the miners that
while the situation was somewhat strain
ed, he felt confident the majority Of the
strikers are not in sympathy with any
purpose to win the strike except by law
full means. His attention had been called
to the arming and drilling of the miners.
which he called TO the attention OF the
committee. advising them that it was
contrary to the law. and they assured
him that they would discontinue, stating
that the number of men who had par
ticipated in 1t was Insignificant, and that
the purpose had been misapprehended.
The Governor further said that he had
investigated the reported large purchases
of arms by the miners and had ascertain
ed there was no foundation for the ru-
NOR, and that these purchases had not
been more than usual. AT a former meet
ing with the committee the Governor eX-
piained to them that as Governor, while
he regretted any difference of opinion
as to wages which resulted in so many
being unemployed. he had nothing what
ever TO do with the strike as such; that
his business was to preserve the peace.
and that would be done at all hazards.
The Governor said that no troops had
been put under arms, because, in his
opinion it had been unnecessary TO do
so; that he still maintained the same
implicit confidence in the miners obe-
dience to the law and controlling their
hot heads as they did at the mass
meeting Monday last which passed off
so peaceably and in manner that re
fected great credit on them; that in the
event ii became necessary 5000 troops
could be concentrated here in less than
twenty-four hours. From what could be
learned it is generally understood the
Governor was very emphatic in Impress
ing the committee with the idea that
no lawIessness would be tolerated. and
that they had as well run against a buzz
saw as to come in contact with the
State authorities.
