The News of BirminSham

Birmingham, Aug. 30.-(Special.)- At the meeting of the furnace operators this morning reports were eAchanseo showing that there Is improvement n the conditions at the mines where union mine workers are out on strike. Quite a large amount Of labor Is being brought to the city ana while there Is a claim made by the operators that con siderable intimidatiD miorNi19 the e samSer ef men digging coal is growing larger
 On the other hand, President Ed Flynn of the unitea Mihe Workers of men working Is small and that the union mine workers are remaining firm.
 f 'T think that 2 society for the pre- yention of cruelty to human beings ought to be formed in this district We brought to Pratt City last night from New Found tBrookside) nine bare- foot boys, colored. who were being These boys were between l4 and k years of age, and were brought up to the district from Demopolis with thc understanding that they would nc given employment on a railroad and in coal mines without shoes on."
 The United Mine Workers have brought to the district lot of tents purchased in St. Louis. which will be used in addition to the houses being hastily erected for the shcltering of evicted mine workers on and after Sep tember 1.
 With but one exception. all the com mercial coal operators in the district have signed a temporary contract with the union miners. This one company is that at Piper. in Bibb County, where no work Is being done whatsoever.
 Both sides reiterate that the fight is to the bitter end. With the exccp- ton of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company, none of the furnace companies in the Birmingham district will recognize the union miners or ganization. Labor agents are now working in Tennessee and Kentucky and also in Georgia after colored coal miners, or men who have had some experience around coal mines.

At the Casino,


 A large audience witnessed the nov ing pictures at the Pickett Springs Casino last night and enjoyed the exhi- bition, which is the best ever seen in a Montgomery Theatre. Many of the ia- teresting scenes shown were round1y applauded. Among the best films run through the machine last night were The Great Spanish Bull Fight, The Bombardment of Port Arthur, Land Battles Between the Russians and Ja . panese" and The Life of an American Fireman"
 The Jeffries- Ruhlin prize fight at San Francisco last year will be the prominent film shown tonight, all though a large number of new films will be used tonight that have not been shown at the Casino.

st,rrinw Tale. from Cherokee Pen..

KansAs CItY JOurnaI.
 Of late years the number of writers among the Cherokee Indians has great ly increased. There are historians in the tribe whose books are used as text books in the Indian schools and who are cited as authorities not to be dis puted. There are also Indians who have written codes of laws which be- fore being put in permanent form had been handed d0wn from generation to these laws with greater reverence than they do the laws of the United States. There are Indian novelists- novelsts who devote their time to en- tertaining the Indian mind with TO- nance with entangled plots and blood curdling climaxes. These books are popular among the Indians. Edition after edition of some works is pub lished. and they are read by buck and scuaw alike.
