MINING SITUATION
 HAS NOT CHANGED Number of Union Miners tm-
 ployed About Same
PRESIDENT FLYNN TALKS
Says Some Miners Have Left slrmine- ham District to Obtain Employ ment-Annual Conven-
 tion in June.

According to the officials of Alabama District No. 20, United Mine Workers or America. the mining situation in the Bir- mingham district is just about the saihe as it was three or four months ago.
 "I cannot see that there has been any change in the situation in the district' said President Edward Flynn Of Dls- trict No 20, yesterday afternoon, About the same number of men are at work now as were at work four months aso.
 "There is absolutely nothing new in the situation with the United Mine Workers. Everything is very quiet and the men who are out are being about as well cared for as they could expect. The organiza- ton is firmly opposed to violence or any knd and 1t will not be tolerated py the union for one moment. The members of the United Mine Workers district or ganization know this, and we believe that all of them are living the life of law abiding citizens.
 Since the strike was first inaugurated last summer, a number of miners nave left the Birmingham district. A greater part of this number, however, are young men, who did not care to lie around and be idle. They wanted to work and sought employment in other coal fields. Very few heads of families have left the district, and almost every miner who has left the district will in my opinion, return when differences are adjusted"
 The annual convention of the United Mine workers of this district will be held in Birmingham commencing June 12. The convention will probably be held in the Knights of Columbus hall on Twentieth street, the same as last year, but this matter has not been definitely decided upon The indications are that the annual convention of 1905 will be largely attended. It may last for several weeks
 During the convention officers of Dis trict No. 20 are to be chosen by the del- egates The time for nominations to be made has closed and Secretary and Treas urer J. L. Clemo is now busily engaged in sending out notices to all who were nominated for office, asking if they are willing for their names to go before the June convention. The time for replies to be made expires in ten days.
 After all of the acceptances are in, the ticket will be prepared and copies will be sent to each of the locals In the dis trlct. The indications are that President Flynn, National Committeeman William R. Fairley, Secretary and Treasurer J. l.. Clemo, and Vice President B. L. Greer will have no opposition for reelection.
