VIII Fight for Unions Recognition j.

President Ed. Flynn, of the Alabasaa District of the United Mine Workers of America, who is conducting the strike against the furnace operators in this district at the coal mines. this morning made the following state- ment:
 There are no officers of our locals ing to work. With $500 men out on strike there have not been more than thirty assertions so far. In fact with the number of men out on strike, the Alabama contest is the hardest fought ever heard of. There will be no re- turning to work until the corporations sign the contract with the union not only to pay the wage, but to recognize the union. My reports show the pro- duction at the mines where the strike is on to be about 1000 tons a day against 25.000 normal output"
 President J. c. Maben, of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, re. iterated today that there was an in- and that yesterday the mines affected by the strike got out more coal than any day since the strike began.

1t was the half day OF for the boys,
1T least for some Of them, and three or
four lounged around the offices In vari-
bus attitudes more comfortable than

with smoke
One of the boys, perched on top of q
table, with hands clasped over one knee,
had been quiet for fully ten minutes,
while the others seemed to be all talk

over and slapped him on the shoulder

it to be, anyway"
TT apparently could mean only one
thing, for Jimmy answered absent
mindedly and briefly:

There was a roar of laughter from
his companions, and Jimmy ssuddenly
came out of his trance.
Poor old Jimmy! Wen be glad
when the ordeal is over and you are in
a normal state again. Marriage is a
serious thing, isn't it, old fellow?"
Jimmy did not hear the last of this
sentence. He put ON his hat and went
out with disguised look

"Oh, welE the dear creatures are

Clark, "but their way doesn't happen
to be my way; that's all"

doorway.

HOW THE WEATHER
MAP IS PREPARED.

The Weather Bureau is now high
ly equipped organization under a
Chief, Wills L. Moore, the officer
third in rank in the department. The
country is covered with its stations.
It's reports issued twice daily, have
come to be looked for in every por
ton of the United States by all the
people, whose daily life is to GER
tain extent influenced by them, and
the value of its work in the saving Of
life and shipping on the coasts by its
predictions of storms and floods. as
well as the saving to the crops
through timely notice of sudden
changes, such as frosts, ETC., is in
calculable.
The work which the people know
best is the general forecast of the
weather, which are conducted on the
best obtainable system; forecasts
which, though founded on an order
of things as subject to law as the
courses of the stars, are far from hav-
ing yet reached the precision Of as
Economical science, though the results
obtained are unrivalled in their ex-
cellence by those of any other nation.
The preparation of the weather map
involves the daily sounding OF the
heights of the aerial ocean above, 81
multaneously by Observers all over
the country, and the joining Of these
sounding stations on the map by con
tour lines which indicate the direc-
ton Of that great aerial oceans flow.
This direction cannot of course be de-
termined with anything like the GER
tainty attainable in the deduction of
the path of a star, yet the result,
though still a probability only, is a
very useful one by which we all guide
our daily lives Will it be greatly
better for us if it is ever otherwise,
and we come TO the time when We
know long in advance what the wealth
er will be. and this and many ether
like uncertainties are wiped ut { rom
the variety of our daily life2
