LETTERS TO EDITOR
Reply to Moore's Charge

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
On June %, 1913. an interview appeared
in your issue of that date from Mr. Wal
ter Moore, president of the Panama Coal
company, charging that the Illinois. Coal
operators are trying to create union
agitation in Alabama, and are paying
spies and organizers to come into this
district andN set ablaze the passions of
the miners, and further says he can back
up every charge he makes without fall
tering.
On September IA, Mr.. Moore's boastful
and unqualified statement was fully and
comb4etely answered and emphatically
denied by the Illinois operators. and chal-
lenged him to produce the proof (Which he
said he had) to substantiate his charges.
Strange to say, Mr. Moore has not up
to date accepted the challenge of the Illi-
nois operators and produced the proof

be of especial interest because of the
fact that all the Masons of high rank
who are to conduct the Scottish Rite
reunion, beginning October z will be
present to witness the exemplification
of the Alabama work.
The programme as originally intend
ed was to have the officers of the
grand lodge of the state confer this
degree, but owing to the absence of
some of the officers the change was
made. II. C. Miller is one of the best
informed Masons in the state and has
been active in the work for many

that he said he had TO back up every
charge he made, without faltering.
We fully understand his motive in maxi
ing this unwarranted statement which he
has not an atom of evidence to sustain.
His real motive in our judgment was to
delude and mislead the public and Is
simply a repetition of the policy and
methods of men who claim the right to
organize to protect their capital which
right we do not question, but who in
the past and at the present deny the
rights of labor to organize for it's pro-
lection under penalty of summary dis
charge and blacklist.
We now call on Mr.. Moore to prove the
charges he so glibly made or cease at
tempting to mislead and deceive the pub
lie without foundation. Respectfully,
