is plenty of labor to be had for these mills, the amalgamatsd organization not being recognized here. Nothing lately has been heard looking toward a rssumptioa of operations at the Gate City and Birmingham rolling mills, property of the Republic Iron and Steel Company. It is not believed that there will be any effort made by the officials of the Annaigamated organize tion even to get into conferences with the Republic Company officials until the strike of the miners in this section is a thing of the past and the supply of coal and coke is equal to ev~ cry possible demand. Positively noth- ing is said in regard to the two mills mentioned.
 CeaI and Coke.
 The strike of the union miners has reduced the coal production in Ala. bama to the lowest mark that has been noted in several years. There is no denying the fact that the production during the year 1908 will be smaller than during the past six or eight years. The bringing in of strikebreakers is going on steadily but the coal pro duction. save in Walker County, Is not picking up as quickly as some inter ests would like to see 1t.

The minister had dropped in to tea,
and the conversation had drifted
through various channels TO the ques-
ton OF whether or not we should know
each other in heaven. Presuming that
our physical beings would be perpetu-

sured, the minister had asked various
ones at the table among whom the Bib

Some mentioned one prophet and
some another. but one lady, noted for
her social exclusiveness, had not

that the employees who live in his
houses would need 10 pay no rent until
they were working full time again.
A cheer that could be heard through
out the town was his reward.
Asked TO explain his action, Comp
troller Metz said
Il felt that my employees could not
earn enough in these three days TO en-
able them to live with any comfort,
and II is only just that should aid
them until work starts in full force.
ITO begin with, factory employees
are lily paid, and for that reason are
rarely prepared 10 meet adverse
conditions. In my opinion they are
the class of people most deserving OF
help and encouragement.
The rents | am giving TO them
amount to something like $4,000 a
month, but / know the cause is q
worthy one, and wish that more could
be done to help this class OF people"

only this time they found it in the

were posted in French, German and
