Miners Contract at indianapolis

Miners Contract at Indianapolis.
Tomorrow the miners meet at In
tlianapolis to discuss sympathetic
strike throughout the coal regions of
the country. It is proposed to demon
strate the power OF unionism by de-
clnring a sympathetic strike in aid of
the hard coal miners of Pennsylvania.
who live a thousand miles from Ala
bama.
But is it right or best to help distant
associates by breaking a contract upon
which the ink is scarcely dry? Would
funionfsm be strengthened by such
course? At present union labor is able
to secure terms from capital, because
1t stands ready to sign contract that
binds all, but IL such contracts are to
be broken at will then they become
valueless, and union labor suffers ac-
cordingly.
II is very little indeed that Alabama
miners can do to help their brethren
III Pennsylvania. The coal of Alabama
does not and cannot take the place of
hard coal. The two are not competi-
tors at any point, and they cannot be-
come SO. Why then should contract
be broken in Alabama to the detriment
OF all In this section? This question
answers itself. No contract should be
broken, and least of all a new one that
sprang from a strike itself. The hard
coal miners are striving to secure the
signing of contract, something that
has long been denied them by the
operators, and such privilege in the
hard coal districts cannot be furthered
by the breaking of contracts in the soft
coal districts. Such course would
furnish the hard coal operators with
an unanswerable argument, enabling
them to say that a contract with the
miners is not worth the paper it is
written on, and we will have none of
it. The level-headed Alabama miners
will, we feel sure, not aid the contract
breaking movement, and such men as
Mr.. Mitchell should see that in nc
event and at no time should a contract
be violated. Let the operators see that
a contract made with the Miners
Unicn is a contract as secure and
trustworthy as a contract made with
a bank or railroad. and this will pro-
mote the signing of sucn a contract in
the hard coal districts. There is dan.
ger in the opposite course, as well as
an utter want of principle.

New York Letter ir tie Chicago Tribune.
A whistling solo is the latest thing In
the line of music to be introduced into

Mineral Waters.

1.-The development of the trade In min
eral waters within the past ten years has
been Marked" said the agent OF hthia
springs company yesterday, and the bus
mess will continue to increase.
"A few years ago there was not much
demand in Birmingham for waters having
medical properties. but this city is now IN
line with other cities, and is a large con-
sumer of mineral water. To give some
idea of the increase in this trade here, up
to the present year all the water from
springs received in Birmingham came by
express, out my concern alone mas
shipped here since May four carload lots
Formerly the water was used only by
invalids, but now 1t is bought freely for
the table"

A Political State.

81 used to think that political cam
paigns in Virginia were as exciting as
could be imagined. but since living in
Birmingham 1 have come to the conclu-
sion that the campaigns in Alabama are
of more absorbing interest than those OF
my old state" said a member Of the Vir-
ginia colony.
Some people say we have too much
politics in this country and especially in
the south, but 1 think 1t is an excellent
sign when men take a lively interest in
state and national campaigns. When the
white voters of the south become aroused
the result of the election is usually good.
Alabama is certainly political state, and
the way things LOOK now the approach
ing campaign is going to be pretty hot.

Pending the settlement of the miners
scale the real estate market was very
quiet. but it is now beginning to re-

nent real estate agent yesterday.
after years of uncommon depression
trade in realty commenced to revive in
1897. The market showed decided signs
of Improvement in 1898 and it has been
getting stronger ever since. Ihere was
more trading in the first six months Oh
this year than in any six months IN 'ne
past twelve years Fortunately Tor 'he
community there is no boom, but 1here
is a steady advance in the level OF values
and a lively demand for investment ana
home property. There is scarcely any
speculation and this fact accounts Tor
the healthy condition of the market.
