The result of this order from President

to the strike situation that has existed
in the Birmingham district for the past
two years.
While the officers of district No. 20 are
absolutely silent as to the action taken
in the special convention held in this

on credible authority that the delegates
were instructed to report the fact of
the Withdrawal of supplies to their
locals.

The question of continuing the strike
has also been referred to the locals in

support from the national organization

The special convention of United Mine

in Gelders hall in Birmingham Tuesday
morning adjourned sine die yesterday at
noon.
All the sessions were held behind closed
doors and the officials refused to dis

any information as to the object or re-
suits of the meeting.
The convention was made up of 14O
delegates chosen from the various locals
in the district in answer to a call is
sued August by President Ed Flynn.
After adjournment yesterday President
Flynn and all other officers of the eonven-
ton refused to give out any information
whatever as to any action taken during
the sessions.
1t is. stated that between 1000 and 1000
union miners and their families are af-
fected by the withdrawal of the weekly
supplies.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that the action of President Mitchell will
result in an immediate end to the strike
situation. Indeed, 1t is stated by strik-
ing members of the union that there is
nothing else to be done as the fight can
not possibly be continued without funds
or supplies from the national organiza-
ton.
1t is limited in some quarters that some
dissatisfaction has developed which may
result in the reslgnatiin of one or more
of the officers of District No. 20 though
no definite information was obtainabe.

Political Situation,

County politics is the principal topic Of
conversation in Bessener at present, the
gubernatorial race seemingly attracting
less attention than the race for sheriff of
Jefferson county. Each of the candidates
has followers among the citizens of Bes-
semer but conclusions are merely CAM
paign speculation, derived from the con-
versatIon of prominent citizens. who are,
themselves partizans of particular men,
and it is by no means certain that some
unexpected aspirant for the office will
not come out victorious at this box.

Resolution On Proposed Bill.
Below is the resolution pertaining to
the bucket shop bill:
Whereas, We regard the form of gamb-
ling carried on in bucket shops under the
guise of legitimate speculation as an
ever present and ever increasing menace
to society in general and business in
particular, the more dangerous by reason
of Its masqueradlng under false colors;
and
Whereas, Without the support fur
nished by telegraph companies, the press
and banks, this evil would soon be Grad
icated, at once effeetlng a great saving
to the pockets of the people and remoy-
ing the cause which more than all others
combined, Is bringing about defalcations
and failures; therefore, be il
Resolved, BY the Alabama Bankers
association, that we condemn this form
of common gambling, declaring IT to be
SUCH and that we will from this date
cease to furnish accommodations to the
operators thereof, and will no longer per-
nit the use of our names as references
to serve as bait for the unwary.
Resolved further. That we ask the
telegraph companies and the press to CO.
operate with us In stamping out this
evil the one by disseminating the service
of market quotations and the other by
denying the use of its pages to seductive
advertisements and alluring letters
Resolved further, That the president Of
this association shall appoint commit
tee to consist of himself as chairman and
two others, whose duty 1t shall be to
carry out the spirit and object of this
resolution, and who are hereby expressly

SCHOOL NOTES.

A Houghton paper made quite an
item on our little blaze under the
school house. 1t was not serious at
all, though it might have been. Not
one pupil in ten knew there was a
fire.
Freak athletic stunts seem to be
the order of the day. The superin-
tendent has the palm for high and
lofty tumbling into a sand pit in
front of the school house.
As soon as the stoves were put in /,
the weather man let up, but we will
need them. We are all waiting and
hoping to get into the new building
before Christmas. The present
cramped quarters make it difficult
to keep up the interest. Pupils will
always conform to their surround
ings. ~
