FEELING IS BETTER
COMPROMISE EXPECTED BY MIN
ERs, SPECIAL CONVENTION.
Meeting Called to Consider Suspen-
sion of work by United Mine
workers-IrOn Conditions
nre Improved.

birmingham, July 24.-(Special)-
The speciaI convention of the United
Mine workers of America. Alabama
District No. 20, called by the district
executive board for the purpose Of con-
sidering the situation in the coal Sec
ton of the State. a suspension of work
on the part of the United Mine Work
ers being on since July /. will COM
monce tomorrow morning at IL o'clock
in this city and all attention is d.
rected to this meeting. Since the
meeting was first called there has been
better feeling in this district and
many believe that the convention will
authorize the district officers to strike
a compromise with the coal operators
of the State on new contract so that
there can be a resumption of work.
More than 1000 men are now idle in
the coal sections of the State. Tempo
rary contracts have been made by a
number of commercial coal operators
with only one furnace company having
the temporary contract. When the
convention adjourned three weeks ago
the district officers had authority to
call a strike If no settlement could be
made at the old contract prices. In
asmuch as no strike was called and the
district board decided on a convention
leads many to believe that a compro-
mise is proposed. However. there are
some who do not believe that any con-
cession will be made on the old con-
tract by the miners. in fact delegates
from Pratt City and Wylam (Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad Company
mines), have been Instructed against
accepting the wage contract offered by
the operators, which provides a mini
mum of 40 cents per ton and a maxi
mum of So cents per ton, based on the
average selling price of pig iron. The
delegates were advised to get the old
contract again, which provides a min
imun Of Al 1-2 cents per ton and a
maximum of 81 1-2 cents, based also on
the average selling price Of pig iron.
There are more than thirty delegates
from Pratt City and Wylam and that
means something. If a strike Is or
dered the conditions will not continue
as quietly as they have been since
July 1.
The action of the Tennessee Coal
Iron and Railroad Company in placing
convicts in Mine No. 3 at Pratt City,
in the places left by the union miners
was not so favorably accepted by the
miners or merchants of Pratt City.
The statement of Governor Cunning
ham to the effect that as soon as the
free labor is prepared to return to
work that the State convicts must be
removed from Mine No. 8, which Is
equipped with the electrical haulage
system. Is not received so favorably
as might be expected. Leaders of the
miners and others say that the State
is placed in the position of lending la
Dor to the corporation with which to
fight the free labor during a suspen-
sion or strike.

nothing to appeal from. The negro

from a horse at the military camp and
was so seriously injured. The reports
were not so encouraging. His condi-

loved priest has opened his eyes at
times and has made effort to talk some.
Physicians are by his side at all
times while the full force of nurses at
the hospital are giving more or less
effort in his behalf. The entire COM
munity is interested in his recovery.
At the St. Paurs Catholic Church this
morning the different masses were at

pastor.
