MAY Be REFERRED
BACK TO LOCALS
Pratt Voted for Scale PROPOSE
ton to Include Arbitration
JOINT CONVENTION TODAY
Operators viii Not Grant More Than
2Is Cents Advanee-Arbitration
said to Be Out of the
Question.
JOINT CONVENTION TODAY

The miners wage scale for 1so2-oS ex-
pires tonight and while it is not believed
there will be anything like a prolonged
strike it does not seem probable that the
United Mine workers and the operators
VIII be able to reach an agreement today.
The seventy-five locals of the Alabama
district met yesterday to act upon the
proposition made by the operators, grant
ing an advance of 2lsc. These locals have
a delegate vote of Us. Pratt division
which includes Enhley and Wylam has
a vote of 40; and this division voted to ae-
cept the operators proposition provided
the operators would agree to submit the
miners demands for a further advance of
21hc, a semi monthly pay day and an eight
hour day to arbitration. Locals at Car
diff, Coalburg and two or three other
small mining camps voted as Pratt did.
Reports could not be obtained last night
from Blocton or from other points where
the meetings were held late in the even
ing, but the action of the Pratt division
is usually taken as an indication of how
the others will vote.
Tho lStuation.
Assuming that majority OF the locals
vote as those of Pratt City, Ensley and
Wylam voted the situation win be about
this: The Joint scale committee will re-
port the result to the joint convention
which reconvenes this afternoon at .
o'clock. The operators will reject the ar
bitratlon proposition, and renew their
proposition of the ~ cents advance. This
proposition will then be referred back to
the locals and the question will be consid-
cred without the arbitration feature.
While no one can foretell what the final
result will be the operators are inclined
to believe that the miners will accept
their proposition without the arbitration
conditions All this will take little time,
but there is a confident feeling in corpor-
alton circles that a scale will be signed
before the 10th of the month. The scale
was not signed last year until July Il.
Operators Firm.
Some of the leading operators held in
formal conferences yesterday evening and
agreed to stand firm against granting
anything more than the "a cents advance.
1--WE will not sign for an eight-hour day
or a semi-monthly pay day." said an OPP
orator. las for arbitration, then, 1t Is
out of the question. We think that in view
of declining iron market the operators
have been exceedingly liberal in offering
any advance"
Asked yesterday afternoon what he
thought of the situation, President Flynn
of the United Mine Workers said he could
not discuss matters until after the con-
vention had acted today.

SIDEWALK AWNINGS.
They Must Be at Least I've Feet Above
the Ground.

Police orders were issued yesterday to
all proprietors of stores and residences
which have ownings projecting over the
sidewalks that they must be at least ~
feet from the ground.
Special officers were instructed yester-
day to go to all those proprietors with
low awnings and notify them that they
must be moved, or raised higher. The
patrolmen will be given instructions to
arrest everyone today who has an avn
ing below seven and one-half feet.
The city ordinance In regard to avn
ings is that they shall be nine feet above
the pavements or streets. but this has
never been enforced. The idea is that the
awnings shall be so high that a man
can pass under one of them with san
umbrella without its catching, and that
it shall be so wide that the water from 1t
shall not drip on people passing.

there for? If Hayis was to Kill Lathem on
sight, why did the men stand in the
lobby and talk for an hour and a half.
"You need not try to excuse Lathem
by saying Mrs. Rubel was to blame. 1t
is the same old story-the story repeated
since the time of Adam and Eve, where
man puts the blame on woman. 1t is not
so. In nine hundred and ninety-nine cases
out of thousand 1t is not so. God made
man the stronger. He made him to rule
over woman. How weak man must be
! to admit that the woman is stronger and
he is ruled over by heri 1t is not so.
IF there was a conspiracy to kill La
them, why should those men have gone
to the most public place in Alabama to
execute It? Taken day in and day out
through the whole year I doubt If there
is more public place in the state of
Alabama than the lobby of the Morris
hotel In Birmingham.
Captain White, at this point started to
read from a Georgia judges opinion as
to what Juries had done when defend
ants were on trial for Staying the Sc
jected to by the state and Judge Greene
sustained the objection. saying that he
could allow nothing to be read that was
not In accordance with the laws of Ala
bama.
Captain White then said that by the
law of Alabama, it makes no difference
what kind of indignity is heaped upon a
man, whether a pistol be drawn upon
him, whether he Is slapped or whether
man splits in his face he must retreat
before he can defend himself If such re-
treating does not put him at further dis
advantage. He said while that was the
law his experience had been that juries
were not enforcing 1t rlgidly, that public
opinion was changing in It's attitude to-
ward that law. He then cited a number
of examples both In England and Ameri-
ca of laws that had been gradually
changed by the advancement of civiliza-
ton.
1.-THE court will charge you" said Cap
tain White, that If Lathem had his pis-
toll on Wise, and Lathem was the In
stigator of the difficulty. Havis had the
right to shoot to protect his friend just
the same as If the pistol had been point
ed at himself
Now gentlemen there is the case.

You are to decide the case according to
the law and the evidence. Consider 1t
all carefully. When an incendiary puts a
torch to your house or store, that can be
rebuilt. but think how different 1t is when
the character Of one of the inmates of
that home is destroyed.
Now gentlemen l am sorry to have
wearied you. I am weary myself. but l

help you to reach a just and fair decis-
