To the
Coal Mine
Employees of
Alabama

Assuming that some of you will respond
to the call of the United Mine Workers OF
America and lay down your tools on August
20, 1917 we wish to assure you that the
operators have the kindliest regard for all
their employees even those of you who have
voluntarily affiliated with the union. The
operators have the sincerest sympathy for
those who have been led into the union rely
ing on the statement of the union leaders
that they were organizing for peace and to
help the government
To those of you who may determine to go
away, the operators wish you we'll in your
new homes, among new surroundings, and
hope you will be we'll treated and will not
find that all the good places in those mines
in other states are already occupied.
1t is hoped that when you cease work you
will square up your working places, bring
out your tools, report to the timekeeper
your desire to sever relations with the COM
pany, SO that the operators may arrange at
the earliest possible moment after you stop
work to pay you what may be due, and that
you, as promptly as possible, will vacate the
houses you now occupy and remove from
the premises of the operators peacefully
and quietly, as patriotic and law abiding
citizens should.
The operators will be considerate of the
men who quit work and will do nothing to
cause animosity, ill will, or breach of the
peace, and it is hoped that the men, both at
work and on strike, will conduct themselves
in a peaceful and lawful manner, so that no
bitterness will follow the strike.
The operators have been, and are willing
and ready at all times, to hear and adjust
grievances with their employees, both in
dividually and collectively, without the in
tervention Of a third party. Hundreds Of
employees know of many specific instances
where unjust practices have been elin1i-
mated, bad conditions rectified, proper
treatment accorded and working and liv-
ing conditions established as the result of
the efforts Of the operators, and also the
Alabama Coal Operators Association, to
see that the coal mine employees receive a
square deal.
The operators further state they will con
tinue this policy Of dealing directly with
their employees and will be glad to take 10
directly with them any matter of complaint
or grievances the employees may have and
promptly adjust the same In the future, as
in the past, any employee is freely invited to
report to the general management any
complaint or grievance which the local
management does not promptly adjust.

WEATHER AND SPOT DEMAND
 SEND COTTON UP
During Past Week Future Prices Reach Highest Level in History
 of Market

New Orleans, May H.-Unfavorable weather reports from the belt and strong spot demand last week put the price of cotton on this market to the highest levels ever recorded against futures and to the highest levels in half a centurly against spots. The July position reached 21.27 cents a pound and in the spot de- partment middling reached 2119c.
 The lowest prices were made around the opening of the week while the high est prices were recorded on the week end. At the topmost levels contracts showed net rise of 77 to 1OS points, while the close was 66 to 95 points up. Middling closed at its best, a net rise of 10S points, At lowest levels contracts were 26 to 39 points under the previous rise of 103 to 139 points. or almost ex- actly S7 a bale on the strongest month, July.
 Weather and crop accounts reflected the effect of too low temperatures over the belt and told of much replanting and of damaged young cotton, leading to ex- pectations of very low condition crop report from the government.
 In the spot department the total sales for the week of 31975 bales were the largest in a long time. On Friday the total sales of 1884 bales were the largest single days turnover in about 20 years. They contained a single transaction of 200 bales of hedged cotton.

ARE ACTIVELY BUYING
 RAW MATERIALS
Demand for Basic Iron and Scrap Grows Steadily. Prices Advanced $1
 Per Ton

New York. May N.-Steel mills over whelmed with business have turned ener- getically to the market for raw mate rials, purchasing pig iron, scrap and oil- CTS in heavy volume. Railroad equip ment manufacturers also have continued actively in the market for pig metal.
 The greatest activity is in basic iron sales which have aggregated nearly 100000 tons for shipment during the last half of this year and the first half of 1918 but with furnace capacity largely sold for this years delivery the demand is not being fully satisfied. Prices have ad- vanced another dollar per ton and the prospect is for another sharp rise soon
 Steel companies in the central west mainly in Ohio, dependent upon the open market. have purchased 40,000 tons of of next year. Inquiries from other steel companies develop the fact that the ca pacity is fully sold. Chicago steel com panies have also purchased about 100000 tons of scrap.
 Plans of the army departments are assuming definite form The indication is that the steel mills will soon be called upon to supply a large tonnage of struc- tural shapes for the building of ware houses at army cantonments. for ord nance and commissary stores and for garages and hangars. It is estimated that about 350000 tons will be needed in the next year.

ALL FACTORS ARE CONTRIBUTING ID STOCKS 'FIRMNESS General Advance With U. s. Steel Leading Shows Banks Not Adverse to
 Higher Prices
By ''H0D7

New York, May 27.-Cumulative signs pointing to the success of the liberty loan, the Senate's proposed amendments 10 some of the more unsatisfactory fea- lures embodied in the war measures, Italy's aggressive movements on the Aus Tian frontier and the improved crop outlook were factors in last weeks busy stock market.
 Daily dealings. which averaged a mil lion shares. were accomplished without strain to the money market and evidently without discomfort in any quarter, save to an overconfident short interest. The leadership of United States Steel at an extreme advance for the week of 12ss points, to the new maximum of 1347k, was accepted as evidence that banking inter- ests are not averse to higher prices.
 Judging from the course of rails, which were only moderately firm, when not ir- regular or heavy, less optimism was shown succeeding the attitude of the in- terstate commerce commission in the matter of increased rates
 Technically the market has been weak ened or rendered more vulnerable by the enforced covering of an incalcuable amount of short contracts. What is com monly designated as a healthy reaetion'' may, it Is feared, result from unfore- seen events of an unfavorable character

TWO YEAR-OLD RACERS
Barring Of Youngsters Until April
! Creates Comment.
Arguments Pro and Con Are Advanced
and Its EKPediency viii Be Test.
-cd--opnion of Judge Mel
son of Canada

/ The barring Of two-year-old racers
until April l has created quite lot
/ of comment.
/ The thoroughbred association made
protest to the Kentucky racing com
mission, but their protest came TOO
! late. The rule was under cousidera-
/ ton for many months and no one
came forward to offer word of pro.
lest Ii remained for Joe Murphy TO
nuke the protest, and then he only did
so when he found out that it was
necessary for two-year-old races at his
| winter track.
In rapid succession the other winter
tracks announced racing for two-year-
olds, and races for horses of this age
are now being held
Judge Francis Nelson of Canada be
iieves the rule should have fair trial,
( and says 50 in the following words:
As the age OF thoroughbred horse
is calculated from January / in the
year in which he is foaled. all of the

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery Of Scheele in
1875 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache. pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
1t was DR. Pierce Of the Inyalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered a new agent
called Anuric a harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
Joints and all the distressing symptoms
Of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anurc at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce 10c. for
trial package Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than hthia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar,
