what the Governor SAYS


BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April s3.-Fully
FIVE thousand striking miners are In
Birmingham to-day attending a big
demonstration given by them here. They
paraded the streets this morning. bear
ing many banners. upon which were all
manner OF inscriptions, such as these:
Give us our daily bread" "Convicts
must go" United we stand" At Lake
View speeches were made by strike lead
ers, urging the men to stand firm. The
crowd. while very quiet. looks ominous.
Governor Jones is here In charge of the
situation. The military Is under orders
TO report 10 their armories every two
hours to be ready in case Of call.
The Governor had a conference with n
strikers committee this morning lasting
two hours. The Governor declined to be
interviewed. but said. however. he did
not believe there would be the slightest
violence. He had abiding confidence In
the manhood and law-abiding spirit Of the
mass OF miners, and was trusting them.
Their leaders had assured him they would
take care OF any one who attempted to
break the peace. He had rather rely on
this than any other means. He had not
put any troops under orders. II is so
easy 10 concentrate a formidable force
on short notice, If the occasion demanded
il. that it would be unnecessary to give
long notice, and in this instance he saw
no occasion for ordering troops. The
miners committee went away well sat
isfied with the conference with the Gov
ernor.
About daybreak this morning 500 strikers
arrived from Blue Greek. three miles
away. They had walked since dark last
night. BY 10 O'Clock 6000 We're in line
They came from mines all over the dis
trict. a third OF them were negroes.
They bore banners with various devices,
some illustrated, some argumentative
and some ambiguous. They were well
mustered by captains and leutenants.
Al II o'clock the miners left for Lake
View Park in the suburbs. The commit
tee had, which conferred with the Gov
ernoI reported, and upon its report reso-
lutions were passed that the miners of
Alabama insist on the removal OF the
convict miners. and at the same time the
weights system be better regulated. and
that semi-mOnthly pay rolls be inaugu-
rated. Several speeches OF an argumcn-
tative, but not incendary. nature were
made. and the meeting adjourned with
out an exciting feature. When asked

men were in line. The workers are
gradually leaving the different mines.
Those that remain are well guarded at
Blue Creek. Last night the houses of
some were fired into. but without result.
Several arrests have been made to-day
for intimidation. which caused some ex-
citement.
In conversation to-day several promi-
nent white strikers said they proposed 10
avoid violence If possible, but they could
not be held accountable for the acts of
their negro friends. The colored miners.
they say, were indignant with the negroes
who had taken their places. and they
might be hard to control. The strikers
being all in the city, little OF interest oc-
Cured at the mines.

Action OF the ". A. w. Discussed.

WASHINGTON, April z.-Speciai.-The
proposition which the Pocahontas Coal
Company has made TO the coal operators

other coal operators, TO reduce the aver
aee price % coal I. o. u. On cars AT cic
mines from SO 1-2 10 20 cents per ton.
with the stipulation that the old schedule
price for labor be maintained, has cre-
ated considerable excitement and alarm
among the people generally OF that Sec
ton, and IL was 10 consider the situa-
ton that a meeting of the coal operators
interested In the proposed cut was held
at the Metropolitan Hotel In this city
to-day. Those present were Messrs. j..
W. McQuail. president of the Turkey Gap
Mine: Frank A. Randall, president of the
Empire Coal and Coke Company; John

Elkhorn. w. Va: a. Robertson, Potts

Smart NJ. Burk, Bramwel, w. Va, and
Charles Wilson and Joseph Bury.
The meeting was held with closed doors,
and tasted for several hours After Its
close the secretary, Mr.. Tinney, positive
lv declined 10 give any account OF the
proceedings, and stated that each gentle
man present was bound to secrecy The
meeting was adjourned over untli to-
morrow at Philadelphia, and the dele
gates here left for that city tonight.
II is claimed that the proposition really
comes from the Norfolk and Western
railroad. The Flat Top operators declare
that to accept the proposition VIII force
them TO reduce wages, and thereby ex-
pose themselves to a strike, and say that
il would be far better for them 70 shut
down than 20 be forced down.
1t Is evident that The concensus OF opin-
ion among the operators here to-day
was that IT would be better 70 shut down
than submit 10 the proposed reduction.
