BEST OF FEELINGS
STILL PREVAILS
No Change Reported in the
Strike Situation
CONFERENCES ARE HELD
Farley and Flynn Visit Dolomite, But
Reach No Agreement With Wood
ward company-Business
Falling Off Rapidly.

Bessemer, August 3. Cspecial)-The
mine situation remains unchanged. In
addition to the strike throwing several
hundred miners out of employment In this
district the ore mines are also practically
closed down. with the exception of the
Sloss mines.
About 5000 ore miners are affected by
the mine workers strike. Provisions are
being distributed by the various locals.
Yesterday several car loads were sent
out to the Blue Creek mine and today
supplies were sent out to the woodward
miners. The relief committees are sup
erintending the distribution of the sup
plies.
Several conferences have been held re-
Gently between the miners at Dolomite
and the officials of the woodward Iron
and Coal Company National Committee
man Farley and President Ed Flynn
were out at Dolomite yesterday in con-
sultation with r. II. woodward of the
Woodward company. They were dis
cussing the question of the mines return
Ing to work and the best humor pre-
reports are that Mr.. Flynn and Mr.. Fair
ley were insisting that Mr.. Woodward
tell them If the mines would resume at an
early date, stating that If they were not
the committeeman wanted to send out
supplies to the miners. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Woodward laughingly replied, well,
while you are sending out the provisions
I wish that you would send a barrel of
flour to my house."
Although no agreement was reached as
to when the mines will resume, this incl
dent shows the good feeling that exists
between the miners and the operators.
Quiet at Blue Greek.
At Blue Creek everything is very quiet
The Tennessee company has extended the
time limit for the houses to be made
vacant thirty days No efforts so far
have been made to start up the mines
1t is remarkable that today as well as
before the strike was declared there Is a
marked difference of opinion as to what
will be the outcome of the strike Many
are confident that everything will be sat
isfactorly adjusted within the next TWO
weeks or thirty days. Some are found,
however, who are of the opinion that the
fight will be a Ions drawn out one. Just
what the miners really think about the
situation is not known, as they are still
very reluctant to discuss the matter
In the meantime business continues to
decrease at an alarming rate The mer-
chants are cutting down their forces and
the commissaries of the various compa-
MES all have dropped three or four clerks
each from the pay roll. In fact everyone
seems to be resorting to the retrenchmcnt
policy. All the furnaces in this district
are cold. 1t has been estimated that bus
mess has fallen off over 80 per cent within
the last two weeks One leading mer-
chant stated today that his business last
month fell $1,000 short of the previous
month.

Arresting Burglars.

Columbus, Ca. August 3.-(Special)
The police this morning, while on the
lookout for the burglars who have
been operating so actively here, arrest
ed at o'clock two negroes who were
lettering in suspicious manner They
proved to be Rev. p. G. l.. Hutchins
pastor of the largest negro Baptist
church In the city, and Lila Johnson,
who has been prominent in that
church.
The woman was attired in mems
clothing, and at first the police thought
they had arrested two men. Before
reaching the station the preacher
broke away from the officer and made
his escape.
1t was at nrst thought that they
we're burglars, but it turns out to have
been only an escapade, in which the
woman disguised her self to prevent
recognition. In the recorders court
today she was sent up for sixty days
for lettering.
The affair has created an immense.
sensation in colored church circles in
the city.
