To Keep
Mines I'm Operation

9NAAANSD 400 ~ - - 49, $50
7T7HE Age-TIerald congratulates the
y men who yesterday brought
about the prompt resumption of work
at Maxine mines, where a walkout had
stopped operations. Such a sensible
step, taken with the idea of prevent
ing a strike in this mineral district, is
to be highly commended,
This is q critical time and the OPP
orators and miners who are respon-
sible for the continued operation of
Alabama mines should deal with their
small differences In a broad, common
sense way. Aside from being highly
patriotic during the war crisis, it is
matter Of mutual profit and advantage
10 both to keep the mines going.
In every line of human endeavor in
America today there is a spirit of Co
operation to get the best and most eff
ficient results for the conduct of the
war. 1t is by this principle that the
Alabama situation should be governed.
broad spirit of harmony and coop
Grafton will meet with the unanimous
approval Of the people of this district.
The operators should be generous
enough to see that%the men get proper
wages for their work, and it is be-
neved that the operators will see that
this Is done.
! On the other hand the miners should
not do anything that will interfere
with the production. 1t Is gratifying
to see that the sensible leaders ap-
preciate their responsibilities and that
they have taken such prompt steps to
get Maxine miners back to work.

Min. Gardens Great Success

"You can say for me that the move
ment I undertook to get the employees
Of the Coal Operators association in
the district to plant gardens was a great
success, as more than $500 new ones were
planted" said H. Clanton Miller. II
think it speaks well for the miners that
they planted over 5000 gardens this year.
1t has been great help in many ways.

II came up to get a negro woman who

ago. said w. H. Gillespie, a deputy

Headlight ON wrong Place


II know we farmers have been some
what like the lightning bug" said o.
P. Ford, president of the Alabama Farm
ers' union. THE old story about the
lightning bug runs something like this:
The lightning bug is a brilliant bug,
But considering the matter in fine,
He sails out in earth's darkness
With his headlight on behind
This very probably has been true of
we farmers In this district, but we are
beginning to wake up and be really alive
Even during the past year we have
made great progress. But when we get
our organization perfected In the better
way We are expecting to do it. which
we trust is not far distant. we can
rightfully resent the statement that our
headlight Is on behind"
