The scale for mining coal for the Ten- nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has been reduced to 521s cents per ton for the month of October, based on the sell- ing price of iron. This is a reduction of cents on each ton from the maximum scale.
 A reduction of 21s cents Is made from the maximum scale of 55 cents paid by the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron com- pany. The reduction is the first made for many months. and is the result of an Investigation of the books of the Ten nessee company, made by a committee from the miners.
 The official statement of the reduc- tion which is being sent by Secretary J. l.. Clemo of the Alabama district organ ization to the secretaries of the various locals in the district is as follows:
