While the United Mine Workers report many accessions to their ranks, the oper- ators express little concern over the at- tempt of the organizers to unionize the open shop camps.

 Executive officials of the iron companies and a number of commercial operators held a conference in the Woodward build ing yesterday and afterwards issued the following statement:
 At a fully attended meeting of the furnace, and some of the large com mercial operators, held this morning in the office of one of the large producers, it was unanimously decided to maintain the present open shop conditions.
 ''The coal companies recognize the right of any or all men to cease work and the equal right of those desiring employment to secure it in any min in Alabama.

BOTTLE ADRIFT

Birmingham Boy Receives Letter From Far Away That Sets His
 Heart a-Tingle.

Carl Brown of 23O2 Avenue G, has the adrift on the flowing waters and having received a reply. This message of his was dropped into the gurgling waters at Pittsburg, Pa, just at the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, where they form the Ohio river, and was picked up at Shady Side, O., Belmont county, by Miss Lillie Malone.
 It took the bottle about two weeks to cover the distance from Pittsburg to Shady Side, having been picked up at the latter place on June 26.
 MT. Brown spent most of the month of June in Pittsburg and while strol!ing along the river bank with friend one Sunday decided to try his hand with fate. Securing an empty bottle he placed in it a paper bearing his name ana ao- dress-"E. c. Brown, 2502 Avenue G, Bir- noingham. Ala."-and requested the finder to communicate with him. He then threw the bottle into the river ana in few days had almost forgotten the occurrence.
 He was reminded of it, however, when he received a letter from Miss Malone stating that she had found the bottle. The finder was kind enough to include a description of herself in the letter, which MT. Brown thinks was only right, inasmuch as 1908 is leap year.
 The writer describes herself as being 1s years of age. five feet, three inches in height with black hair, blue eyes and fair complexion This description the recipient declares tallies with the de- scripton of his ideal.

Adjustments Made
 M Recent Big Tax Raises

The storm threatened by the announce ment of the raises in county taxes is gradually passing over, and war between the back tax collector and the property owners will most likely be averted.
 When seen yesterday afternoon Back Tax Collector Frank S. White. Jr, stated that 2400 citations had been issued and that he felt safe in estimating the num- Der of property who had settled at 1900. MT White said that the matter has not proved the bugaboo the owners of real estate first took 1t to be. and he finds most of them willing to settle.
 Consequently, out of 15o citations set for hearing by the Board of Revenue during the week beginning next Monday, only about 15 or 20 cases will have to be heard by the board. It is the ultimate aim of the state board to have all property as sessed on a 50 per cent basis.
 Some of the tax increases this year are
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-09

quite large, notable among which are those on the properties of the Birmingham Realty company and the Birmingham Ter minal company. The increase on the property of the Realty company was, ap- proxlmately, from s7oo0O0 to S1,5O00o0. and on the property of the Terminal company from s15O,OoO to s350 900. Both of these companies have settled.
 It was believed at first that the Bir- mingham Real Estate association would fight the tax raises, but number of the prominent members of the association have already settled and 1t Is now thought that most of the cases will be settled amcably.
 MT. White states that the increases are due to the fact that certain propertyown- CTS have heretofore assessed improved property as unimproved, in consequence of which, when the property was ap- praised, 1t was taxed according to It's real value.
