HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT


 We have done what we could to keep up the production of coal in Alabama, but, as stated before, on account of the dlsofganization that now exists by req son ot the attempting to forcibly organ lze the men, our production was much less in June than in May and will be very greatly less in July than in June, and this notwithstanding the fact that We have put up with all kinds of an- noyances and trouble that we might avoid the appearance of anything which would lead to cessation Of work and the reduction of production. We have how ever, reached the limit, and will no longer countenance the driving away from our works by threats of violence, or other intimidations, of those men who will not under any circumstances join any labor organization, but large numbers Of men will leave, as many have already, and go into other lines of work, and the production will be still further de- creased.
 '.The troubles and difficulties set out above for the Pratt Consolidated Coal company are being daily experienced by the other coal operators, some to a greater degree, some to a less degree but no one has not suffered from the dis organization and the disruption of work ing forces.
 That You may know of the disorder existing. the real lawlessness, and the threatening attitude of these agitators, you will take note of the fact that this morning ignoring the edicts of the court, wherein Judge Sharpe granted injunc- ton restraining interference, these leaders fosced men at work at Maxine to leave t.,sr jobs of work on tow boats, barges and railroad tracks"

MAXINE TROUBLE HAS REACHED LIMIT
 SAYS MCCORMACK
(Continued from Page Five)


 Sugar Refinery company at New Or leans. Closing down this mine ties up all of our tow boats and barges, anu will seriously inconvenience the Ameri- can Sugar Refinery company.
 T. learned that MT. H. H. Morgan came to this district from the west and talks a great deal about his participa- ton in labor fights in that part of the country. It is not known positively that he is a member of the Industrial Work CTS of the World organization.
 Since the disorganization incident to the attempts to organize the coal miners of this district, the production of coal has been lessened from 10 to 30 per cent. Every night men said to be carrying arms prowl through the mining camps Tightening the women and men who have not consented to join the organiza ton, and if this kind of activity is not restrained, the production of coal will be further curtailed.
 At one of the mines near Birming- ham, several white men went through the camp, notifying the women who were at home that they must keep their husbands out of the mines unless they joined some labor organization.
 We are rapidly approaching state of affairs that has always followed the attempt to forcibly organize the miners in this district We have had peace for nearly 10 years, and until organizers and agltators from other districts have poured into the district and attempted to organize the men. Understand, I am not objecting to the organization of men for any peaceable purpose, if done ln lawful manner, but the most super ficial examination of conditions existing in this district will show that the at tempt to organize here is far from peaceable and that it Is an armed one.
 I assume that if the men at Maxine mine are affiliated with any regular or ganization, that they are now uncon- trollable by the officers of that organi- zation and will continue to be uncontrol- able, and that it will not be possible for us to operate our property under the absolute control and dictation of men of that chara cter

The Arizona copper camp., 1918-02-02

(To Harry Lauder, whose only son
was killed in France.)
He stood behind the footlights and he
set the crowd a-laughing
With the same old grooming chuckle
that we loved in other years
And only those who knew could guess
the grief behind the daffing-
But for those who knew, the laughter
had secret salt of tears.
Then at the last he came out in his
grass-green coat and bonnet,
With his gaudy tartans colored like
garden in the sun,
The same quaint little figure-but a
different face was on it
When he sang of the laddies that
fought and won.
A face hard lined with burrows where
the plow of pain had driven.
Blue eyes that had grown shadow-ser
through many a sleepless night.
The face of one who more than life
ungrudgingly had given,
Who caleld on us to do as well-and,
ah, we owned his right!
We saw in him the Fiery Cross OF
Scotland, charred and cory,
And the spirits burned within us to
the challenge that he gave,
For the player was a prophet as he
spoke his peoples glory
We're wee land, and a puir land,
but, by God, we're brave!"
