MINERS AND OPERATORS
EXPRESS SATISFACTION

companies so far as I am informed, have
made gain in the number of miners en-
ployed"
Mr. Mahen said that labor agents were
onering to bring large numbers of miners
to this district from Kentucky and other
states.
AT the miners headquarters the usual
feeling Of satisfaction prevailed. Presi-
dent Flynn said that the miners were
content to await developments
I find the men firm everywhere" said
Mr.. Flynn. They feel that their de-
mands are just and will stick by them.
II the companies are satisfied with the
amont of coal they are getting out 1 am"
said Mr.. Flynn. "All the coal that has
been mined, or the greater part of it, is
the coal that was left in the cars in the
mines when the men quit work on the
first of June. These cars were hauled out
and sent over the tipple. That is how the
coal was brought out at New Found and
Blossburg. Not ten union men in the dis
trict have accepted the invitation of the
companies to return to work"
Mr.. Flynn received a telegram from Mr..
Farley member of the national hoard
yesterday to the effect that the national
board had voted to give the Alabama
miners all the financial assistance they
needed.

booked to be held in this city on the first

to the crops. especially to melons and
vegetables, but the produce dealers say
they have been the only people hurt, and
that comes about in this way:
A great many people have vegetables,
a few cantaloupe vines and two or three
peach trees in their back yard. The rains
followed by the sunshine have made the
little gardens and orchards produce album

DEMAND FOR EGGS
NOW VERY STRONG
LOCAL MARKET WELL SUPPLIED
BY ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI,
EGGS OF BEST QUALITY BRING
19c, WHOLESALE.

The demand for eggs In the Birmingham
market is very strong at present and they
command good price. Eggs of the best
quality are quoted at nineteen cents per
dozen wholesale. The market is supplied
principally by the local production. This
includes Alabama and portions Of Mis-
sissippi Eggs from Tennessee and por-
tions of the west are sometimes shipped
here when the local supply runs low.
Through the spring. summer and fall
eggs are in abundant supply, and it is
unusual for an egg famine to come over
the market, but In the winter months
egg consumers have to depend largely on
the cold storage stock
Extensive cold storage plants are To-
Gated in many of the large cities of the
country, and millions of eggs are put up
through the summer and preserved fresh
for the winter market. They are gener-
ally put on sale about October. The
local supply, however, controls the sale
OF the cold storage product The cold
storage system is rather expensive. The
cost of storing, insurance and the ex-
pense of removing them is considerable,
so the dealers here cannot afford to
handle them until the market goes up.
In New York and other large cities there
are certain classes of trade that demand
a very choice stock. II the market cannot
supply this demand the cold storage eggs
are used at all times of the year.
1t is hard to make any accurate pre-
dictions as to future prices on eggs, as
the market is governed from day to day
by the stock thrown on the market, but
there is no reason why the local supply
should not hold out this year as well as
usual.
