BELIEVES ALL MINERS
WILL GET EMPLOYMENT

Ed Flynn. president of Alabama dis
trict No. 20. United Mine Workers of
America, believes that within short
while all the miners in the district will
have employment, and that this will
greatly increase the output of the mines
in the district.
When the strike was called Off recently
some 300 miners were on a strike, and
since that time the energies of the or
ganlzation have been bent towards get
ting them employment in the various
mines on which a strike had been de-
clared.
The efforts of President Flynn and
others have been very successful and
some of the men have found work in
the mines where they worked before the
strike and others in other camps. There

are still. however, quite number who
have not found employment, but they
are rapidly going back to the various
camps. Is
1t is estimated that the return OF SO
many miners wiz mean an additional IN
crease of several thousand tons of coal
daily. Many big mines are now being
worked to their full capacity.
A large furnace operator said yester-
day that the return of the miners to
work had also had tendency to bring
a number of furnace and rolling mill
men back to the district. When the strike
was declared two years ago. many fur
mace and steel mill men left the district
for fear that they would not be able to
keep employed. As soon as the strike was
declared off they commenced coming back
to the district to seek employment.
