 Under a recent order of the war de- partment, the war plans division Of the general staff is created for the purpose of exercising direct control and superVl- sion of all matters pertaining to the eou- cation and recreation of soldiers of th@ regular army. The director of the wal plans division will have associated with him a board of civilian educators on this development of educational plans within tne army. It will ne the duty of the di- rector to provide for d proper system ol inspection to insure uniformity in thls training.

 Labor leaders claim that 300 miners on Red mountain have joined the strikers. About 5000 men are em- ployed altogether at the mines of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company on the mountain. Not a mine or plant in the district has closed on account of the strike last evening and company officials claim that full crews are at work at all plants.

 The machinists. boiler makers, black smiths, moGiders and brick layers are all considering action. but in many cases opinion is sensed as against striking at this time.
 At meeting Of maehinists and black smiths of he Ten.essee Coal. Iron and Railroad company, and American Steel and Wire company. a decision against a walk-out was voted. and some 90 machin- ists of the Brmin sbam Southern railroad, who quit work Wednesday,, had mostly returned yesterday. .it d joint meeting of Locals 27l, 1863 and 259 of the Maehin- ists' union, the vote for striking was 7t, and against was SS, it was said.
 Each side is claam--2 the advantage So far. union officials stating that their best plays have not ye, heen made, apd pros poets were very ght in the Birmingham district Within tfe next few days they predict that events vii show they are winning, it will take few days to get things goine as preliminary details must be gone over before action will be taken by men of the independent companies. They voice confidence of response ana support from these sources
 On the other hand company officials predict a collapse oe the whole movev ment, some rema~king that no strike mas even started, as far as their companies can feel Others contend that the move ment will fade away of it's own accord. a s the men in this district have no selfish interest to further, .tho just quitting work to give moral support to the other fellow will not meet with their approval.
 Everything was repotted quiet at Ems lev, Fairfield and i,rssemer, and business as usual was progressing.
