STRIKE SITUATION
 IN WALKER COUNTY
Executive Board Recommends
 Renewal of Old Contract.
SETTLEMENT IS IN SIGHT
Striking Machinists Discuss Situation James Conley of International Board Arrives-Shops Expe-
 riencing Some Trouble

It is probable that the difference exist ing between the coal miners and the op orators of the mines along the Southern Railway in Walker County will be settled at an early date.
 It will be recalled that the miners along the Southern Railroad demanded a raise of cents ton over the prices paid last year and that the operators would not &C., cede to the demand. On the failure of the operators and the miners to reach an agreement the matter was referred to the executive board of the Alabama District of the United Mine Workers. That board has recommended to the miners that they accept the old contract, which the opera tors offered to renew for another year. Il is believed that the recommendations of the executive board will be accepted and that new contracts will be signed within few days.

Machinists' Strike

The machinists,. strike remains un- changed. The machnists held a meeting yesterday afternoon and again last night to discuss the situation. Both meetings were executive, and only union machinists were admitted James Conley of Wash ington, member of the executive commit tee of the International Association, ar rived in the city yesterday morning and will remain for some time. He came here under the direction of President OConnell to take charge of the strike.
 The machine shops continue to run, but not on full time. Only few men quit work in some of the shops, and in some instances their absence is hardly felt; but in others, where large number walked out, more or less trouble is experienced.

Miss Florence Bidwell and Mr.. Ed.
Bldwell recently passed the milestone
marking the anniversary of their ar
rival into this world OF trouble and
their friends decided to make the event
even more of d calamity than nature
Intended, and so got up '"Surprise
party" on them. The guilty conspir-
ators were warned to gather at the
home of T.. B. Hiue at $50 O'Clock
Tuesday evening, protected by the us
ual signs, passwords, etc. and armed
with cakes and ice cream All went
ais smoothly as the road to the lower
regions until the party had assembled,
when suddenly Miss Bidwell appeared
bearing down on the rendezvous, all
unconscious of the excitement she was
creating. She dismouuted from her
wheel and joined the party and seemed
to regard it as quite II coincidence
that SO many people should call on
Mrs. Hine at one time. The converse
ton was rather fitful, as is usually
the case when you are all waiting for
some one to go and the hour is get
ting late. until bright idea struck
one of the party who rising to the &C.
casion asked the intruder TO join us
in surprising friend. The start was
made and then it suddenly struck Miss
Bidwell as an original ms piration
that from the direction we were going
she must be one of the victims. By
rapid advance we arrived at our des-
tinati on before Mr.. Bidwell had gone
to bed. He was equal to the 'emergen-
cy and met us with a. hearty right
hand shake and a left hand box of ci-
CARS, as host should when the
weather is so hot that you have to sit
out doors and drive the mosquitoes
away from the ladies. The evening
was delightfully."- spent with games,
refreshments and mosquitoes until
mi6 ght. Before departing Il few mo-
n1ents We're devoted to trying to as
certain who among the ladies would
have the next anniversary. but the
way they all with one accord denied
the prospect of anything of the kind
created the impression that they were
not very anxious to he remembered
and reminded Oh increasing years.
The chronicler was there, however.
so it is useless for anyone to hope to
escape. but as these are surprise part
les. we are barred from announcing
the next meeting place in advance but
will be there in spite of the screams of
the victim.

One of the most remarkable inven-
tiOns of modern times is designed to
take the place of section men on the
railways. This wonderful machine
WAS recently tested on the Boston &
Maine road and cleaned up thirty
miles of road in four days. If this
work had been done by hand in the
usual way it would have required 3I5
men. If this machine comes into gen
eral use it will, do away with eighty
five out of every hundred men now
on the sections.
