 As a result of the visit of Col. J. w Woolfolk of New York to Tuscaloosa the dummy line, of which he owns a controll- ing interest, has advanced its freight and passenger rates very materially. The fare has been doubled from the city to the two depots and the freight rates, which have heertofore been given in contract shape, are now made flat 1 cent per 100 pounds It is a well known fact that the line has not ben a paying one, but with the in creased revenue and the contemplated inn provements in the ruadbed and service 1t Is thought that the line will be a better paying investment.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 13.-In order
to place before the public the condi-

of Pennsylvania, President John
Mitchell and SecretaryT Treasurer w.
B. Wilson. of the United Mine Work
ers of America, issued a statement to
the public to-day, giving in detail the
causes that have led to the strike.
After the statement had been given
out for publication President Mitchell
said:
at this time I do not believe any
thing will transpire between now and
Monday that will prevent the strike.

to-day predicates that the struggle is

The statement says:
1.-THE average wages OF the anthracite
miner for many years has been less
than $3.50 annually. During that pc
riod OF time the cost of many of the
necessaries of life has been increased
over twenty per cent.
1.-THE laws of the State of PennsylVa-

cite coal. yet anthracite coal miners are
compelled to mine from 200 to 1000
pounds for ton, and in addition to
that are locked eXorbitant amounts.

Cans McGovern will meet a Il-nedSed
lightweight, and, as Mcl1OVern can f1g nj
at 122 pounds and less If necessary, he
has a shade the worst of the coming
hstic argument despite the fact that the
contest is limited to six rounds. Cans
is clever hard hitting boxer, one VINO
carries kn0ck-out blow in both hands
He dropped Kid Parker with left on
the mouth and put him down for the
count with short right jolt under the
left ear. simply refer TO these blows
and their effects on Parker to show Cans
can drop an opponent without connect
ing with the point of the jaw. Parker IS
a strong, husky 135-poundeI, and pre-
sumably stronger and a. harder man to
knock out than McGovern. so, figuring
on Cans blows and their effects on EaT-
ker, his chances of defeating McGoyern
are bright. But 1t must be remembered
that Parker, with all his weight and
strength, does not class with Terry
as a fighter. When Cans dropped Par
ker for the count he Tented him out
with his left, and, as Parker came IN
he hooked over his right and did the
trick. If Cans can draw Terry out -
the same manner he will undoubtedly
repeat his Denver performance. But here
comes the hitch. Can he draw Terry
to him as he did Parker? I've seen Me-
lar Palmer, Turkey Point. Billy Smith,
Eddie Santry, Tommy White, Frank
Erne, George Dixon, Joe Bernstein and
KID Broad, all clever men, but did
not see any of them draw or feint him
into doing anything he did not want to
do. Oscar Gardner toppled him over
as did .*Kid'' Broad, but not by any pre-
arranged plans. They did not faint -or
draw him into positionfor a knockdown
any more than kid Carter did Tommy
Ryan when he dropped the latter. Those
knockdowns were haphazard affairs.
They came during warm exchanges,
when least expected, and were surprises.
OF course the same may happen on
Thursday night, and if so there is no
telling how long Terry will be COM
PEELED to remain down.
There is no getting away from the fact
that Terry is badly handicapped. He
has height, weight, reach, science, ex-
perience and ring generaIship against
him. Cans is past master in all that
pertains to the fighting game. Beside
that, he can hit a few lines. I saw Cans
and Dial Hawkins exchange lefts and
rights for fully one minute, with the
result that Hawkins was dropped as If
shot, and that after Joe was fatigued.
As referred to, Terry has a set style
of lighting, but Cans has not Cans
