MONTHLY PAY DAY.
Coal Operators Insist on This
 System.


 Birmingham, Ala, June 22. (Special) The commercial coal operators em- blowing union coal miners held a meet ing today and after a full discussion of the matter of making new con tract with the union miners decided to insist on the contarct which was offered earlier in the week As stated, there is no difference as far as the price of mining goes, but the operators insis, on their offer.
 In statement given out this after noon after the meeting closed, the operators insist on monthly pay day in- stead of semi monthly as now, claiming that there is much trouble and expense to two pays a month and that much time is lost by the men by reason or the double pay day system. The operotors also insist on each miner being allowed a laborer a system that Is bitterly op- posed by the union. These conces- sions the operators contend for on the grounds that the non union mines have these privileges It is further set forth that not a very great many mines in this state are worked with union laborers and because of the rules allow ing day laborers with each miner, the union men are leaving the places where union rules are enforced and are talk ing up work in the non-unfon mines
 The operators meeting adjourned sine die with the instructions gwen to the scale committee to insist on the concessions set forth. When the miners convention adjourned sine die this week it was with the understand ing that the concession as to the day laborer should never be granted and the matter of a single pay day each month to be taken up at the various mining camps. As the matter now stands a strike appears to be almost inevitable. AS given out by the opera tors the percentage of union miners in this state, as compared to the whole Is not very large The district officers of the miners organization have the matter in hand and will probably take up the offer of the operators at once. The mines working union labor enjoy A large and steady production.

An old German had a boy of whom
he was very proud, and decided to find
out the trend of his mind. He adopted
novel method by which to test him.
He slipped to the boys room one morn
ing and placed on his table bottle of
whiskey, Bible and a silver dollar.
"Now," said he, when dot boy comes
in if he takes dot dollar he's going to
be beeznis man; if he takes dot Bible
he's going to be preacher; if he takes
dot whiskey he's no good, and going to
be drunkard Then he hid behind a
door to see which his son would choose.
In came the boy whistling. He ran up
to the table, picked up the Bible and
put it under his arm, then snatched up
the bottle, took two or three drinks,
picked up the dollar and put it in his
pocket, and went out smacking his lips.
The Dutchman poked his head from be-
hind the door and exclaimed: "Meffl
Got, he's going to be politician
