 Although there Is smallpox in Birming- ham, it is of a mild type.
 It is the duty, however, of every one to be vaccinated ard obey, strictly, the in functions of the ordinance of the city.
 It is the duty of everyone to clean up their premises, keep them in that good condition, and to see that his neighbors do likewise. lae. e
 If the people would at once notify the board of health of any and all cases that come to their knowledge it would greatly assist them in the work of checking the spread of the disease.
 The physicians in charge are devoting almost their entire time to the work and are satisfied. with the assistance of the public, that they will completely erad- icate the disease as they have'it now un- der good control. .i-lL.-- ssfl

 Resolutioas were passed demanding a 50-cent rate for digging coal and chsck- wziehman on each tippls. An agreement to quit work and remain idle until a s cale of prices were agreed on for coal diggers of all states was also adopted.
 Referring to the injuIct.on issusd by Judge Mason, MT. Mahon said he would pay no attention to it. He had been ac- customed to being enjoined in various strikes for the last five years, he had never paid attention to injuncti ns and had never been arrested. He knew his rights as an American citizen asd h. pro- posed to maintain them. He had been teaching his men their rights and was urging them to fight for them He had two grandfathers in the revolutionary war and the on.y legacy they had left him was the liberty of speech and action. No petty judge should deprive him of the liberty purchased for him by the blood of his fathers.
