CONTINUED AT EVERGREEN

The report recommended that the in
stitution be continued in operation at
Evergreen until the committee arranged
for its removal If this was decided upon
and in that event it shall be operated
thereafter by a board of trustees to be
named by the executive board of the
convention An effort was made to amend
the report so as to permit the COM
rnittee to accept Troy's offer at once
if all conditions of the offer were salts
tory to the committee.
This was discussed and Rev. ]. G. Dick
Jason, pastor of the Baptist church at
Evergreen defended the orphanage and
the work of it's superintendent, stating
that the only complaint that could be
made against it and Evergreen was the
fact that not sufficient money had been
given by the Baptists of the state for its
support j. A. Davidson of Selma rec
commended it's removal, and A. S. Alder
man, pastor at Troy, asked the conven-
ton to decide at once as he had prom
ised his congregation an answer on his
return. He stated that the offer would
probably be withdrawn after November

Although the coal miners strike is end
ed. yesterday brought more developments
in the Birmingham district than any one
day since the strike order went into eff
feet on November I.
First the union officials claim that GER
tain operators are refusing to reinstate
striking union men in their old jobs.
Next International Organizer George
Hargrove wired a protest to Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer against the
alleged discrimination against men &C
tive in the union organization.
Attorney General Palmer wired Mr..
Hargrove asking for names of compa-
MES referred to and stating that prompt
action would be taken against operators
who sought in this way to curtail coal
production.
Operators who were informed of the
stated that it was untrue that all OF
the union men had returned to work,
but that on the other hand, in certain
sections the men had absolutely refused
to obey the instructions of their leaders
tc resume operations
This is especially true in the Blocton
field, said ". l.. Badham. where the
men have almost unanimously refused
to go back to work. 1t is undoubtedly
true that the greta majority of the union
men of the district have refused to re-
turn.
"Of course | cannot speak for other
companies of the district, but under the
new workmen's compensation law it is
absolutely necessary for the large com
panies employing men to require phys
ical examination cfore they put them
to work, 1t is probably the require
ments for these examinations that
caused the Hargrove telegram. His tele-
gram to the attorney general gives the
impression that all OF the union miners
of the district have returned and applied
for work and this is very misleading
have refused to return"
Aside from these developments every
thing appeared to be quiet throughout the
district. large per cent of the striking
miners showed up at their former places
of employment yesterday morning, and
it is understood that most of them were
reinstated in their old jobs At other
places, according to reports brought to
district headquarters of the United Mine
Workers in the Farley building, the striK-
ers were told that there were no va
cancies, or they had to undergo physical
examinations, or that for some other
cause they could not be put to work at
that time.

READY TO WORK

and our men are ready to dig it,, said
international Organizer George Har-
grove, IT think it Is unjust to prevent
the men from working We are ready to
work and get out all the coal possible
in compliance with the order OF our ma
tioral organization
1.-THE men did not strike as individ-
uals, nor as struggling or isolated locals,
or other small bodies, but in conformity
with the orders issued by our national
organization The national officials have
told them to return to work and they
have applied for their old jobs in good
faith
Mr.. Hargrove. after hearing reports
similar to these from number OF min
ing camps, sent the following telegram
to Attorney General Palmer:
Birmingham, November 10, 1919.
Attorney General Palmer, Washington,
DC.
I'm compliance with the order of Judge
Anderson the miners OF Alabama returned
to work today. Hundreds of them were
discharged and turned back from the
mines by companies. The public wants

"All union men are not being refused

COAL PRODUCTION FOR WEEK

Coal production in the Birmingham dis
trict last week appropriated so per cent
of the weekly output during the present
year. According to reports made to
the Alabama Coal Operators association,
1851 tons of coal were mined in Ala
hama during the week ended November
The average for the year ran little
over 10000 a week. according to reports
made to the same agency.
The reports made to the Alabama Coal
Operators association are transmitted
by il to the United States geological
survey, under government regulations,
and. therefore, are official.
The operators contended ali last week
that production was about so per cent of
normal and the official reports seem to
bear them out in these estimates Some

CRAND"
STATEMENT OF
DULUTH WOMAN
Tanlac Relieves Her of
Eight Years Trouble
From Indigestion.

The following statement which was
made recently by Mrs. Otto Reichow,
of 889 Sims street, Duluth, adds an
other link to the long chain of evil
dence regarding the remarkable
merits of Tanlac. While discussing
to her, Mrs. Reichow said:
Il owe this good health I enjoy to-
day to Tanlac and I don't know any
better way to show my appreciation
than to tell others about it. 1 had
suffered from stomach trouble and in
digestion for eight years and had
reached the point where I some times
just felt like giving up altogether.
MY appetite was very poor n after
almost every meal, no matter how
light my food, I was almost frantic
with pain. in my stomach and right
side. The sour gas would bloat me
up so at times that I could hardly
breathe and I would become SO
n~auseated that I could hardly retain
anything I had eaten. My back ached
a good deal of the time; I also had
sick and miserable that I would have
to stop my work and take to my bed.
Well nothing ever helped me until
! got Tanlac and now 1 am just like q
different person. Tanlac is SO diff
%ferent from n other medicine I have
Iever tried. Why, the very first day I
took 1t. I felt better and have been
improving ever since. My appetite
came back to me in a few days and it
wasn't long until the gas stopped
forming on my stomach and then my
pains and shortness of breath disap-
peared. I can now eat cabbage,
tomatoes, cheese, and lettuce, and d.
gest such things as these better than
I could my light diet before taking
Tanlac. In fact my stomach trouble
seems to be a thing Of the past and
the headaches and .backache have left
me, too. My sleep is sound and rest
full every night and I feel better than
I have since my troubles began. It is
perfectly grand medicine"
Such statements as the foregoing
should appeal very forcibly to the
Thousands that suffer from the sane
troubles. Most people who suffer
from nervousness and dizziness,
stomach troubles. kidney derange-
ments and who are in a general run
down condition. simply need some
thing to 0 n up their. system ana to
assist the vital organs in performing
their proper functions. Tanalac is q
re~constructive tonic and always pro-
duces the most gratifying results.
