MINERS DENIED
RIGHT TO LIVE
In Tents by Governor Conner After
They Have Been Elected From
the Company Houses.

In" following excerpts are taken
from the birmingham Labor Adyo-
cate regarding the miners strike in
Alabama
Since our last issue MANY
things have occurred in this district
in TcgUard to the miners strike
which has naturally created more
friction. They have tried every
way they could think of to get the
miners to commit some overt act
even denying them the right to free
speech.
'On Thursday the Governor
gave out most peculiar interview.
stating that he would not allow
tn" nitcu Mine Workers to live
in tents: that he would use tho
whole power Of the state to pre-
vent them from it. or course this
piutucrdtic Governor cared nothing
fox the health of the people. cared
nothing for the suffering people
whom he has sworn to protect.
cares nothing for tho wives and
caIiIrrn OF these men, whom he
mas assisted to throw out of the
houses. and nov denies them the
tght OF living IN Il tent, claiming
that 1t is unhealthy. while he has
ordered that the troops. the state
guards. should be denied the
privilege of being housed and
ordered them to be removed to the
camps. The guards can live in
tents, but the poor miners can't.
W hen we contemplate this outrage
upon the citizens we have not suf
trlcnl control of the EnrliSh
language to express, our views of
condemnation.
"ih" Mine Workers representa-
uH"S, after a request of citizens of
the birmingham district, offered
TO arbltrlte the question in dispute
IN AIabama, and the operators
positively refused to consider
arbitration in any form.
The situation from what We
can ascertain is this: The opera
tors are being pushed harder and
harder Tor coal to fill their de-
mand#, the strikers are standing
hrm to man. and really there is
very little change in the situation
from what there was 4 month ago.
The miners seem to have the best
