Mobile, July 1s.-(Special. )--It be- came known here at g late hour this evening that as far as the lst RegI- ment of Infantry is concerned, the en- campment at chickamauga has been postponed for a while and that the command will not leave for that point Wednesday evening, as had been con- templated.
 The men of the regiment were mo- tified tonight by their officers in or der that they might acquaint their em- ployers of the situation, because most of them had arranged to take their vacations. commencing with tomorrow.
 Men gathered in groups about the streets as soon as the order had been made known to them. They discussed the situation freely and while they are somewhat disappointed that they are not to go to the Government camp this week, they express themselves as being satisfied that the gravity of the situation in Jefferson County warrants the change in the arrangements.
 The change will be felt somewhat seriously by some of the business men Of this section. who have to arrange their employe's vacation many weeks in advance and to change them at this time and with such scant notice means a great deal of work and confusion.

Sermon to Miners .

Birmingham, July l9.--(SpeciaI. l- Rev. Father H. F. o'Grady, pastor of the st catherine's Catholic Church at Pratt City, and dean of the priests In North Alabama preached a strong, sermon today in his church before a congregation composed mostly of min CTS. some Of whom are out on strike and some of whom are still at work
 The subject of the sermon was Cap ftaI and Labor" It took no sides in the controversy that Is on in this dis trict, but set forth in considerable length the rights of both capital and labor.
 Rev. Father o'Grady's congregation is suffering by this strike more than any other congregation in the entire district. Pratt Mines is in the midst of all the mining operations of the State and there is considerable division among the miners themselves. Father OGrady Is making a strong effort to get other ministers to go with him be- fore the operators association and of- fer their good offices in bringing about some sort of a settlement of differ ences between the two forces.

 S in the Dfatrict. sirmlr nam. July is. --fSpecial. )- what the present week bring in the mining situation In Alabama? This Is question that Is being asked hy many other than those directly inter.
 The announcement that beginning in. morrow morning strike ke-breakers. who have been gathered in numbers fin ad. Joining States and elsewhere and arc now waiting in Birmingham, are to he distributed in the various mines throughout the district may cause some trouble. but the calling out of the troops the past week is looked un. on as giving the opportunity of placing trouble. @.s
 The statements of the leaders of the miners that the coming of the military .o the mining section of the State was weicomeo may mean something. inas- much as the new men in so far have digging.
 The fact that many negroes have Joined the union and that locals of the union have been formed in places where the open-shop plan has been on for some time, Is most resna abIe. A- well known operator Is authoritv for the statement that the coal digRers have been promised money not to cor, tinue at work and in some insta r,ces unrest at the mines has been caused by the constant efforts made to organ ize the minefe.
 There Is considerable comment throughout the Birmingham district in regard to the troubles experienced be- Tore the local military. were called into service. That there have been some of the special deputies on duty who expressed fears of an attack at any moment is not to be denied.
 The belief is expressed that no mat ter whether there will be any more violence or, not or whoever creates the violence, t will be e month at least before the coal mining in this State will get back to normal conditions. SO far as the mines working 20 and for at least six months before the produc- ton will be steady as 1t has been up to July 6.
 The existence of the union is at stake and tho odds appear somewhat against it. W. R. Farley. the Alabama mem Der of the National Board of the limited Mine Workers, states that the additions to the union during the past two weeks in Alabama are composed Of men who are law abiding men and who maintain their loyalty to the organization after once joining 1t. He states that there ia no doubt that the operators win make their strongest efforts with the forces of deputies, and nnilitarwfou hand but that the miners are gcigR to re-. main firm members of the union stl - The signing of the sixth COT sraat with a commercial coal conpAriv vas anIiounced last week and berinnInr tomorrow about 100 union men viii eo to work at Coalmont with a contract of the union.
