SEVEN ROADS PLACE ORDERS
FOR ALABAMA COAL SUPPLY

The railroads participating in the or
ders referred to above were the Mobile
and Ohio the Rock Island, the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, the Illinois Central,
the Missouri Pacific, the Louisiana and
Arkansas and the Frisco system.
The strike in Illinois and Kentucky has
been In force several days and the rail-
roads west of the Mississippi river have
found themselves in an acute fuel d.
lemna, hence their entrance into this
field for the first time.
Prominent railroad officials in Birming-
ham stated that no shortage of equip
ment will be experienced In handling the
abnormal traffic movements. 1t cannot
be stated what the aggregate amount of
coal moved from this section will be, as
the tonnage depends entirely upon the
length of the strike.

CUBS THREATEN
TO PLAY ANYWAY
Chicago Nationals Declare They Will
Be With That All-Star
Team.

CHICAGO. Sept. There sure is
trouble brewing. Such Cub players
as Evers. Hoffman, King, Overall
and Brown say they will play base
ball with the all-star team after the
championship series are over. regard
less OF the wishes OF the National
commission.
This is the word from the diamond
heroes today They declare they Will
go ahead with ID. l.. Fletcher, or Gin
cinnati. who has given each a neat
little certified check for ten-game
series OF ball after the season closes
The National commission has
frowned on the plan, but the easy
money" looks too good TO the players
and the Cub contingent say they will
play regardless. Some OF them are
banking on the forming of a new
major league next season and say II
there is any trouble with the base
ball tribunal they will go to the new
league.
There are other players besides the
Cub men, however, who have picked
for the all.star team. Most of them
will abide by the decision OF the
commission and have returned their
certified checks.
But the betting is that the would-be
outlaws will see the light before the
tour begins.
