DISCUSSING MINE BILL
Few Changes Have Been Made From the Original Draft

The bill for the regulation of coal min- ing in Alabama which has been drafted by the Operators association has been submitted for corrections and it was stated yesterday by Capt. J. V. Allen secretary of the association, that another conference would be held in a short time with Senator Morrow and the bill dis cussed further.
 The bill has not been changed to any great extent from the rough drafts, but some details have been corrected to meet the differences of opinion prevailing among the members of the committee.
 The bill, when 1t has been satisfactorily inspected, will be given to Senator Nor row. who will introduce 1t in the senate shortly after the meeting next week.
 It is planned to have a free discus- sion of the measure between the parties interested. There Is little reason to be- Iieve but that the bill will meet with fayor among the legislators and pass.
 It has as prime motive the protection of the miners from danger and the re- forms which will be made in that quarter are radical. The property rights have not been overlooked and they will be care fully conserved.

COUNCIL IS UNABLE
 ID TAKE ANY ACTION
Met Last Night and Adjourned
 at Once
INJUNCTION IS IN FORGE
Arguments Will Not Re Made Before Chancellor Benners Until Next Saturday-Boyd Asked to
 Have Bond Increased

The City Council met last night and adjourned at once. President Pro Tem Gregg was in the chair and 14 alder men were In attendance.
 The injunction which caused the postponement of action on Wednesday again prevented the adoption of the viaduct agreement.
 Meantime all the aldermen are busily engaging their attorneys and declare that those who dance will pay the fiddler" Thirty-one aldermen with their attorneys have their eyes on the bond which has been filed by the petitioner. The city is represented by City Attor- ney Romaine Boyd, who declares that the injunction will undoubtedly be dis solved
 'The claim of the property owners that the city Is entering into a con tract to close streets is absurd" he said. ''The city Is not entering into a contract to close the streets. The city has no power to close streets, but Is simply agreeing to the other terms, all depending upon the legislature clos ing the streets"
 Chancellor A. H. Benners yesterday morning denied the motion of City At torney Romaine Boyd to have the case of the injunction brought against the members of the City Council argued at once on the demurrer filed. The argu- ments will be made before Chancellor Benners on this phase of the case next Saturday, January IA.
 A motion filed yesterday by Attor- ney Boyd seeking to have the amount of the injunction bond increased from 5000 to 5000 will come up for hear ing Wednesday morning. It Is averred in the motion that the bond of 5000 filed In said cause Is wholly insufficient to cover probable legal expense and costs to which defendants will be put in dissolving said injunction; where fore said defendants petition and move the court that said bond be fixed at a sum not less than $5000."
