MINERS ISSUE LONG CARD

Yesterday was a quiet one in the 1 strike district, only one incident of disorder being reported. This was at Sanie. near Odenville, the house of non union miner being shot into. No casualties were reported. Sanie was also the scene of killing a day or two ago, an alleged prisoner being shot by the guards. According to the guards, the man was escaping.
 Everything was quiet around the sheriff's office, while the military head quarters presented nothing more ex- citing than a heavy rush of routine business.
 In a statement issued from the head quarters of the United Mine Workers in Birmingham to the officers and mem bers of local unions and signed by John P White, vice president of the national association; W. R. Fairley, national executive board member; J. R. Kenna- mer, president of district No. 20, and J. l.. Clemo, secretary and treasurer of district No. 20. the union miners are urged to refrain from any violence in connection with the strike, and are also given words of encouragement.
 In connection with the outlook the circular reads: "The condition of the strike at this time is very good and every day new members are being added and new local unions organized, and at this time almost the entire working force of the mines is organ ized." Reading further it says: Near ly 1S,000 men are now members of the United Mine Workers in district No. 20 and are standing loyalty to the cause.'
 The strikers are commended for their conduct, this reference being: We real ize that your conduct and department throughout this entire strike as whole has been admirable, notwith- standing there has been a persistent effort at different places to link your organization with violence
 We propose to respect and uphold those charged with law enforcement, and you should cooperate with every legitimate endeaavor for its mainte- nance, and by doing this we can justly demand in return the full protection of the law"
 It concludes with: While it is a very trying time we are inspired by the splendid loyalty you have displayed in this contest, and we ask your fullest co cooperation to the end that an equit- able solution may be found for present conditions"
 Officers and men have learned that Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard is a very strict disciplinarian. At first some of the officers located out in the county were disposed to come to town quite frequently and some of those on duty at headouar- ters were inclined not to observe military hours strictly, but orders No. 79 issued a few days ago, cause all to understand that they are here for work and active service. The orders referred to say:
 "All officers and men on duty at head quarters must report for duty not later than a. m.
 Officers must not leave their stations at any time without first obtaining per- mission from these headquarters. "Oficers will not permit their men to leave their stations except on military business.
 Officers and enlisted men will at all times while in service in this district wear their uniforms.
 Any application for leave of absence | or furlough will not be considered unless | properly made through military chan nels."
 real young soldier from Mobile is l Clinton E. Camp, member of the Lomax | Rifles. Young Camp was not well yes- terday and the regimental surgeon told
 him to make application for a furlough to go home and he would approve it. The | young soldier absolutely declined to do
 so, saying he would be entirely all right | in a day or two and ready for work.
 Private Camps father was captain of the

 Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard remained
 at military headquarters all day yester-
