ROTARY CLUB DENIAL

Any intimation that the Rotary club
would come into the breach, and endeavor
to establish peace among the warning
factions is denied by President Frank
Rushton of the Rotary club
IF there is any such movement on foot
/ know nothing of it, said Mr.. Rushton
1T is true that we had a meeting yester-
day, but it was simply the regular meet
ing of the board of directors of the Ro-
tary club OF course, the question was
discussed, and it is being discussed where
any number of men are gathered to-
gether, but we took no action looking to-
ward a settlement of the problem. I am
sorry such impression was created, as the
Rotary club would prefer not to be men,
toned in the matter"
A mass meeting will probably be called
early next week, to which will be invited
all persons interested in the organiza.
ton of theme body.

BEGAN CAREER HERE

James Strong is one of the best known
men in the Alabama coal work He has
been engaged in mining since 1884. when
as a youth of 20 he started with the De-
Bardeleben Coal and Iron company. He
did not remain long at this post, as he
went to Pennsylvania to enter the min
ing school of Lehigh university. He fin
shed his college career in 1888 and re-
turned to Alabama to accept employment
under T. Fl. Aldrch, who was then presi
dent of the Cahaba Coal Mining COM
pany.
He later became superintendent of the
mines at Gurnee. After the strike of
1894 he was requested by w. S. Gurnee
of New York city to assume charge of
the properties of the Montana Coal and
Coke company at Electric, Mon. These
properties, which are near the Yellow
stone Park were placed in a high state
of efficiency during his four years stay
there, and in 1899 he returned to Alabama
at the request of the Republic Iron and
Steel company and assumed charge Of
the coal properties of that company.
