MINERS GENERALLY
 WELL SATISFIED
Coal Production of District, It Is Claimed, Is Now
 Approaching Normal

Contrary to recent statements or J. R Kennamer, president District Mo- 20, United Mine Workers of America, that marked unrest on the part Of miners was a distinguishing feature of the industrial situation, information in the hands of the Alabama Coal operators association Is to the effect that since the increased wages granted October the men, as whole, are satisfied.
 It is claimed that the men are con yinced that but for the excitement en- gendered by union organizers. fol- lowed by a general stoppage of work, the october 1 increase would have been granted in July.
 Operators reported yesterday that despite Washington observation that a nationwide shortage in coal existed, local output was being gradually in- creased. The normal figures have not been reached, however. this being at tributed by the operators to the all legged fact that miners, able to make in three days what they previously made in six. are not working as con- tinuously as formerly.
 In Washington this week, operators and miners of this district will be rep resented. The operators, by commit tee headed by Morris w. Bush. will at tend a conference having for it's ob- ject discussion of ways and means to increase output. The miners. by com mittee headed bX Z. R. Kennamer, will endeavor to secure adjustment of cer- tain differences which they declare still exist. Operators and miners of Tennessee and Kentucky recently agree to settle points in dispute by arbitration. It Is understood local miners desire identical concessions.

ELLIS BROWN WILL NOT FILL OUT THE UNEXP|RED TERM Says Personal Business Will Demand Entire Atten-
 tion During Next
 Three Weeks

Commissioner elect J. Ellis Brown will not fill the unexpired term of James Weatherly, recently resigned as commissioner of public utilities.
 The suggestion was made and a movement started few days ago to have the board of commissioners fill the place on the board made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Weatherly. MT. Brown declines to accept the ap pointment stating that it will require his time from now until November 5 to close up his personal business mat ters.
 T appreciate very much. indeed, the proposal to have me fill Mir. Weather lys unexpired term" said MT. Brown last night, ''but it would be impossible for me to consider this. Owing to the very strenuous campaign which re suited in my election last Monday, I neglected many pressing personal mat ters to which I am compelled to give my attention for the next three weeks. This will demand all of my time and I could not, therefore in justice to the city and to myself, accept the appoint ment if rendered.
 And I desire to take this occasion also to thank my hundreds of loyal friends, who stood steadfastly by me in my race for commissioner. I ap- preciate their support more than I can express and I shall do my very best to demonstrate that their loyalty to me is justified"
 MT. Brown led the ticket in the com mission race last Monday, receiving over 4200 votes. He and John R. Hor- nady were the only two candidates for associate commissioners who received majority of the votes cast.

COMPLAIN TO CITY
 OF DUST NUISANCE


 Claiming that the intensive suffer- ing that they are forced to undergo through the prevalence of dust is all most unknown quantities along the streets, and especially the public high ways where they reside, many citizens of Birmingham are protesting to City Health Officer Dr. Bowling to give them some immediate relief. They con tend that the dust will cause the spread of disease.
 The city. health department does not feel that there is any need for alarm from this source, as statistics show that very small percentage of pull :. monary trouble prevails among men employed in street cleaning or garbage work. It is the character of dust in haled that is to be considered. 1t is naid.
