COAL ASSOCIATION
HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH PRICE FIXING

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
We wish to correct a misstatement OF
your Washington correspondent in his
special appearing on page nine of your
issue of April a. 1918, in which he says
that the arrangement with respect to ad-
justment of wages for coal mine en-
ployes of Alabama has been completed
as a result of conferences in Washington
between representatives of the fuel adj
ministration, the Alabama Coal Opera
ters association and United Nine Work
ers of America.
The facts are that the committee OF
operators who went to Washington was
not appointed at a meeting of the asso-
citation. but at a meeting of coal opera
tors attended by operators not belonging
to the association as well as members OF
the association. Some of the committee
were not members of the association
The association has nothing to do with
fixing of wages. nor has the association
had any representative at any confer
ences or meetings with the fuel admin
istration or with others where wages or
la Dor matters were considered or dis
cussed. Yours truly,

WASHINGTON, April 24-(Special.) 1.-The
British tank Brittania, which has done
it's bit on the western front, and which
has been demonstrated in Washington, is
as some prehistoric animal terrible and
irresistible.
No instrument of war brought to
Washington since the beginning of the
European debace attracted more atten-
ton or inspired more awe than the
Brittania. One afternoon it's attentive,
mavelling spectators numbered 60,O00
1t is estimated that practicallysthe entire
population of Washington saw the en-
CINE of war during the week it remained
in the national capital.
| 1t separation was attended by only
one accident, and that was sustained by
the President of the United States. Mr..
Wilson crawled into the NAV of the
tank through a manhole, and having ex-
amined it thoroughly, attempted to gain
the air again through top exit. In
endeavoring to lift himself through his
hand came in contact with q red hot OK
haust pine. 1t was burned to the bone.
When the tank arrived it's operators
asked Tor a house to destroy. The house
was found. The following morning the
tank was directed against the house.
The great machine moved slowly with all
its tonnage, but very soon was in touch
with the doomed building. There was a
sound of tearing and splitting timber, a
cloud of dust, crash, a roar from the
engine The house, splintered, was left
a wreck, an inert mass of timber and
chimney brick. The tank, as some great
animal having had its feed moved on,
cumbersome, awkward, perhaps, but ire
sistihle.
