 FIynn's Report.
 President Edward Flynn read his report for the past year as follows:
 Birmingham, Ala, June g, 1906. ITO the Officers and Delegates Attendant
 at the Ninth Annual Convention District
 No 20, United Mine Workers of Ameri-
 ca-Greeting.
 Tn compliance with the constitution of our organization and long established custom, l desire to tender to you, and through you, to all the members of Dis trict No. 20. report of my stewardship for the contract year commencing July l, 1905, and ending June 20. 1906.
 Tt is with some regret that I state the strike inaugurated July 25, 1904, still con- tinues without material change in the situation, and at present there is no pros- pect of a termination In the near future. Many changes have recently been effected in the directorship and management of the larger companies whose mines have been on strike for two years past Whatever bearing, if any, these changes which are still being made will have on the strike situation we are unable at this time to predict Suffice to say, however. that these changes are to be attributed to but one cause, failure to obtain results in the ma tier of coal outputs at the mines.
 During the entire period of this long drawn out struggle our men have display ed such unprecedented loyalty, and so strictly have they maintained and ob- served the dignity of the laws of our state, communities and our organization. that no parallel can be found in the history of industrial struggles in this or any other country.
 Fewer assertions have taken place also than have been in any strike of such du- ration that history records, and until to- day our men are fully as determined as they were on the 18th day of July. 1904. to continue the struggle to successful
