order through the strike so far.
1t has been widely different to
the strike which was conducted
several years ago. The issuing
of injunctions by the Federal
and State courts may or may not
have had q good effect, but it is
a fact that this has been the
quietest strike ever conducted
in Alabama. The miners are
expending something like $780,
900 per month in keeping up the
strike. The miners claim that
the operators are expending
twice as much as they every
month.
