OPERATORS REPORT
MARKED INCREASE
Mr.. Maben Says Miners Are
Coming in Fast
QUIET PREVAILS AT MINES
President Ed Flynn Reports Every
thing Satisfactory From United
Mine Workers Point of View.
Tho Brookside Meeting.

Many miners went to work yesterday
and the operators were manifestly pleased
at the marked increase reported for the
day.
THE increase In number of miners who
reported for work was proportionately
larger today than on any day since the
strike began" said President Maben of
the Sloss company yesterday. I'm fact
we are getting men as fast as we want
them and all of them are not new men
either. At Brookside today our reports
show that more than dozen of the old
men returned to work regardless of the
strike.
Il was informed this afternoon he
said. that the Tennessee company had
more men than 1t can work at Johns and
that they will open up Adger and Sum
ter mines right away. We now have the
situation well In hand and We do not
fear any trouble in getting plenty of men
to work In thee mines. We are turning
out coal in substantial quantities and
everything is moving along smoothly"
No Trouble.
A car load of miners were sent to Johns,
In the Blue Creek region, yesterday by the
Tennessee company and 1t was at first
feared by the people living In that Sec
ton that trouble would develop but 1t
seems that such fears were groundless
No trouble has been reported and the
officials of the miners union as well as
the officials of the companies say they ex-
pect none. Both sides appear to be ad-
vocating conservatism and this sentiment
has prevailed In the ranks of both par
ties to the industrial conflict now pend
Ing.
Everything is perfectly satisfactory"
said President Flynn of the United Mine
Workers, land we have no reason to COM
plain Our men are determined to stand
by the demands which we consider but
fair and Just and assertions from the
ranks are few and far between. My re-
ports show that the men in the various
locals are firm and show no inclination
to give up the fight.
Large Meeting.
by the way" said Mr.. Flynn, II no.
tice typographical error in your paper
this morning, which might cause an err
roneous impression II attention were not
called to it. In referring to the meeting
held at Brookside yesterday the paper
said that nearly 300 miners were present.
1t should have read nearly 5000 and sup
pose that was the way 1t was intended"
The union is continuing to send out
supplies to the men and many Of the
miners say this is the best managed strike
In which they ever participated. They
are getting their supplies regularly and
every man who quit work is being cared
for SO far as food and shelter are con-
cerned.
With both sides confident of success
and both expressing satisfaction at the
situation persons conversant with such
affairs are free to assert that they be-
lieve the strike will run into the winter
months. Operators do not hesitate to say
that there will be no settlement with
the union and further assert that they
intend In the future to operate their mines
on the open basis.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part Of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifies the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..

twice as large as that of the
Worlds Columbian exposition at
Chicago.
Only a few weeks remain in
which to take advantage of this
great opportunity. Every day
from now until the close Of the
fair is a Especial" day. The WA
