Coal Miners Rise
 to the Occasion

II this state was backward in coal U production in the first half of the year it has been making up for it by largely increased records since the first of July. The output of Alabama for the week ending July 27 totaled 433, ,738 tons, as compared with 415,563 tons the week previous, and FATS tons in the week ending July 13. It is a remarkable and an encour- aging fact that Alabama's best weeks |record in 1917, when a new high level of production was reached, was only 379, ,737 tons, or 54.001 tons less than last weeks output.
 It shows what can be done when the mine workers are appealed to on patriotic grounds. With the high scale of wages now prevailing, many miners were disposed to take life somewhat easy by working only two or three days week But increased Iproduction of coal, like increased iron production, was needed for the prose- cution of the war. The farmers met the situation by increasing food crop acreage and toiling with all their might; and now that the miners throughout the country have hark- ened to the fuel administration ap- peal, output is beginning to be ade- quate.
 The Alabama miners have risen to the occasion. They are on their met tie now and are working practically full time.
 The miners of this district had shown their patriotism by contributing generously to the Red Cross and sub- scribing largely to Liberty Bonds. And now they are giving further evidence of it, and are making themselves in every respect 100 per cent American lby increasing the coal output at rate that will meet the countrys war ltime requirements. While they are only doing their duty, the public will feel like giving them a rousing cheer. # # T
