Montgomery, January F. = tSpeciaLl Governor Henderson has called upon all state convicts now working in the coal mines to volunteer for Sunday work in order that the state might do its part to relieve the shortage of coal and every penny earned by the convicts on that day will be given them. He believes the op- eration of the mines on Sunday will do much to give the state coal in sufficient quantities to meet the needs of con sumers.
 In addition, the governor has under ad- visement plan to increase the produc- ton of coal during week days. Many able bodied coQvicts complete their daily task early in the afternoon and have nothing to do until the next day. Gov ernor Henderson hopes to have them con tinue their work during the afternoon and has agreed to pay them the standard price for every ton they produce above their task.
