The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has not attempted to operate any of it's minds where the strike is on except the ono at Johns. in the Blue Creek division. Vice President and Gen. eral Manager McCrery has returned from New York, where he attended a quarterly meeting of the board of direc- tors but he declined yesterday to make any statement concerning the plans Of the company for future operations at its mines.
 As to tho number of men at work at Johns accounts vary. One report has it that fifty or sixty were at work yester- day. At United Mine Workers headquar- ters it was stated last night that only eight miners who had belonged to the union were at work; that any others who might be digging coal were not miners.
 William R. Fairley, Alabamas national board member of the United Mine Work CTS of America, gave out this statement yesterday:
 Fairley's Statement.
 On October a statement appeared in the Birmingham papers from President Bacon of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company that the cause of the unfortunate suspension at the Tennessee company's mines was in consequence of the companys refusal to take one dollar per week from all the employees for the benefit of the anthracite miners strike.
 q beg to take issue with that state- ment for the reason that 1t is incor- rect. desire to give to the public with out reservation the facts leading up to this trouble
 41aa district board and myself held con ference with vice-President and General Manager McCrery, when he was clearly and distinctly informed that we were not insisting on the company deducting the anthracite assessment without the con- sent of any of their employees. but that we had disciplined refractory members and expelled them from the United Mine Workers of America. and, therefore, would refuse to work with them.
 MT. Mccrery was so impressed by the position in this matter pursued by the district board that he requested time so that he might consult President Bacon on the proposition above named, promis- ing to give an answer by o'clock that night, which he did by telephone, stating the position of the company was un- changed, that they would neither forcibly collect the assessment, nor would they discharge members whom we had ex- pelled.
 After his reply the whole of Pratt Mines was called out, with Blocton and Blue Creek added.
 .In a previous statement made by me I said that the Tennessee and other companies had suggested that the as- sessment was no business concern of theirs and that we ought to discipline our own members; they using the argu- ment that if a member of a club would not live up to his obligations they would expel him. That method in clubs and se- | eret organizations is a complete remedy | in such cases, because the expelled mem | Der is ostracised and cannot affect said organization for good or evil in the flu | ture It is altogether different with 2 | labor union. To expel members of oul | organization and continue to work witt | them only makes bad worse,
