 Soldiers search Houses
 The soldiers and deputy sheriffs went through Dagotown and searched many houses. They also went through a large hall occupied by negroes and seized many weapons. They seized more than forty rifles and enough ans intuition to stock a small arsenal. :. They found many rife shells stuffed with slugs of lead
 Lieut.. Leon Schwartz of Mobile. . member of Colonel Hubbard's stan. led one of these searching parties He says fiatly that it may not have been lawful but 1t was the thing to do, and It ought to be done in every min. ing camp in the district
 There Is much indignation in Bloc ton over the searching of houses. Pe- culiarly enough the resentment among the white people is directly chiefly at the searching of the hall used by negro secret societies,
 T. 8. Dark, Blocton lawyer. was especially indignant at this outrage" :" When I put the question to Mir. Dark, he admitted tn at the negroes had ccE- suited him to know If they did not have the basis for lawsuit. He inti- mated that suits would be filed against SheriH Oakley.
 A number of business and profes- sional men of Blocton were interviewed and all of them expressed sympathy for the strikers.
 There is merit on both sides of the controversy" said W R. Young. post master and cashier of the West Bloc ton Savings Bank. There Is consid- erable sympathy here for for the union because most of our business men for merly worked in the mines"
 Who do you think is responsible for the shooting Into the train1g he was asked.
 "The strikers" he responded read fly. 'No one can get away from that conviction. The ignorant, foreigners were goaded by the knowledge that men were coming to take their places. They felt that they were acting In a ing that all of us condemn the out rage"
 Meil Hayes, who conducts a store, and is an uncle of Robert Hayes. has expressed the opinion that the strikers have no chance to win. He was 8 union miner more than tw enty years.
 T have been through four strikes" said MT Hayes, land I have never been through successful strike"
 Dr. ". R. Randall. 8 young dentist. was not pleased with the way the State Government Is handling the situation. He is one who believes that the deputy sheriffs Intensity the feeling.
 'Governor Conner ought to send all of the Nationai Guard into the dis- trict." said Dr. Randall Then he ought to conduct the situation from Montgomery. It is a mistake for him to make his headquarters In Birmiug- ham, where his advisers have nisied him. One of his closest friends is the General Counsel for the United Mine Workers. and others of his advisers are managers of these corporations. Birmingham cannot take a fair view of the controversy

 Cork, AnE. t4.--ThA report that the cunard Iine will abandon oueenatown as port of call has caused great anx- iety here. It Is understood that the Cunard management. some time ago, asked permission of the government to allow them to omit Queenstown. but that this proposition was refused. as 1t had already bsen refused to the White Star line. But local members or Parliament incline to the belief that there Is some substance in the report. and that the Postmaster General has seen sufficient reason to change his mind.

 Outwardly the mining companies do not appear to be suffering because of the strike. There are three mines in operation here. Normally they employ $50 men and produce 1,412 tons of coal day. Yesterday these mines had 29e men at work and produced approxi- mately 300 tons of coal.
 At the offices of the Tennessee Com | pany was shown the statement of the account of one miner. taken at random | from the books, when I expressed de- sire to know something of the earnings | of the men. The statement waa for twenty-three days of work, and the man had earned $i4S.s0, net. The min CTS are paid for the coal they mine. l They are allowed to employ helpers. This man had produced 446 tons at 471-2 cents a ton. He had paid 85b,50 | for help, s6.30 for supplies, and had paid to the company 50 cents for q doctor and 26 cents to support the school. This made total Of $s2.5S, leaving him a balance of $14s.S0.
 Superintendent John Gafford, wno has charge of the properties of the Ten nessee Company at Blocton, said he was we'll satisfied with conditions at his mines. Labor is coming in and the mines are running more than half time.
