REASON FOR RESTRICTION

There is no question but that produc-
ton is being restricted bysreason of this
large number of miners not being al
lowed by the coal companies to return
tn their former positions. We do not
claim that the operators refused to allow
those men to work for the purpose of re-
stricting production. although it has that
effect and does restrict production.
Their reason is an open secret. They
are irving with all their power to destroy
the miners union by Citing rid of the
active members of the organization
a eitators. interlopers, as they are
pleased to call them. They are even
willing to violate the Lever act to ac-
complish their purpose. They are taking
ADVANTAGES of government Intervention
and irving to use the government as an
accomplice to destroy the organization.
Whether the strike was right or wrong,
the miners were in a winning fight; no
power could have prevented them from
winning EXCEPT the mandate OF their
government by federal court order,
forcing them back to the mines Hae.
they not been in violation of the FEDERAL
law, they would be striking yet They
went back to the mines in submission
TO that court order. knowing that they
would. have won. They went back as
v:ctors, not as defeated. strikers, and
they have reason to expect that tn efed-
eral government will see to it that they

miners are soldly unionized or a ma
jority Of them belong to- the union. the

HARD FIGHT NOT EXPECTED

s Around the city hall it was not be-
lieved that the people would wage
and hard fight against this amend

it is extremely important that this
amendment be adopted. They say that
the revenues under existing laws is
pushing not only the city of Birming
ham, but all other municipalities to
make both ends meet
They point out that the same sit
uation prevails in other southern cities
particular in Atlanta. where that city
has failed absolutely to properly house
