bill. Representative Huddleston of The
Birmingham district. referred to what
he considered tn unlawful use Of troops
in labor disputes" and the "unpre-
cedented issuance of far-reaching
mandatory injunction by federal
Judge"
He declared that the confidence of
labor in the fairness of Congress was
shaken.
'Iaboring men feel that the campaign

which surrounds them. is due more to
Congress than TO any one other agency,
TO abusive speeches which have been
made in Congress during the present
session. and TO the hostile spirit which
has been behind certain measures
which have been proposed here. Their
confidence in the fairness of Con-
sress has been shaken.
They also point 10 the unlawful
and unconstitutional use of federal
troops which has been made and is
yet being made in connection with

To Look Young Quickly
For Special Occasion

How often have you fused and puttered
with your face on the of some impor-
tant social event when you wanted to look
your prettiest, and try what you would
YOU lust couldn't get the desired result
Next time your face becomes unruly, ex-
hibiting a careworn and saggy appearance
and crisscrossed with fine lines, here's
something that will quickly transform it
into one of youthful freshness.
Just get an ounce of powdered saxolite
at your druggists, mix this with about a
half pint of witch hazel. and battle your
face in the solution for two or three min
utes. Immediately after you feel a firm
ing up of the skin and underlying tissue,
which naturally irons out the little wriu-
kles worry marks and flabbiness. The con-
tour and general appearance of your face
are so improved. you will be glad you heard
of this simple and harmless method.

GENERAL PERSHING MAY
COME THROUGH ALABAMA

Washington, November 1z-(Speciall
General Pershing, confronted by urgent
invitations today to visit Mobile, Mont
gomery, Birmingham, Muscle Shoals and
Camp Mcclellan all in Alabama, declined
to commit himself to a positive itinerary.
He goes south December to attend
the Southern Commercial Congress in SSa-
vannah, thence to Florida on invitation
of Senator Fletcher. 1t is the hope or
those interested that returning from Flor
ida, he will pass through Alabama.
THE itinerary is not complete" said the
general. Il can't foretell what it will be
possible for me to do Say for me, how
ever, that I hope to go through Alabama
from Mobile to the Tennessee river.
When reminded that the south fought
the war as well as the east and west,
where Pershing has visited, he replied
with significant emphasis, Il know it.

REPORTS YESTERDAY
INDICATED INCREASE
IN MINERS WORKING

workmen have shown no disposition to
return to work although the companies
at those mines have used every effort to
induce them to do SO. This is mis-
statement and without foundation of
facts. I know of no case of this kind in
the state, although there may be some
few. Mr.. Davidson says he is submitting
the facts in general Here are few
Of the facts In at least so per cent of
the mines of Alabama there have been
from five or six up to more than 200,
men at each mine refused work or dis
charged Some have been told If they
would renounce their union they would
be taken back Others were told that
they would have to take medical exam
nation before they would be reinstated
to their former work. Others were dis
charged on applying for work. The facts
are that more than 1900 miners are out
of work by reason of the companies re-
fusing them that privilege. and they are
not asking for the men who worked dur
ing the strike to be discharged; there Is
work for all of them in the mines OF
Alabama Mr. Davidson says they are
asking that the. law-abfding workmen
who faithfully discharged their duty
during a national emergency and Loyalty
stood by their government and its con-
stitutional laws, be discharged We deny
this.

PAY ROLL READY FOR
COUNTY SCHOOLS
Board Will Have to Borrow
Money to Meet Years
Pay Roll

The monthly pay roll for the employees
of the jefferson county schools, amount
ing to $4,000, was started yesterday, ac-
cording to County Superintendent N. r..
Baker, who stated that the teachers and
others would receive their pay promptly
at the scheduled time on Saturday.
The expenses incident to the upkeep
of the schools in the county this year
are much greater than the previous year,
stated Mr.. Baker, who said that part
of the increase had been taken care of
by the somewhat larger revenue from the
state, but that in spite of this it would
be necessary for the schools to borrow
money to carry on the work for the rest
of the year.
The increased number of voters in the
county, which will necessarily mean a
larger poll tax, and also the coming cen
SuS, which would mean more population,
and a larger revenue for the schools,
would be helpful in large degree toward
carrying out the programme for the COM
ing session, he said
But the present need of funds to carry
on the work is the problem that is now
confronting the board of education,
whose opinion, like Mr.. Bakers, is that
the schools will have to borrow the
money to tide them over the present
financial difficulty

A YEAR HAS GONE
AND STILL WELL.
Mrs. Ingram Relieved of
Stubborn Cough by Lung
Vita, Now Called L-V

1T has been nearly q year since
used LungVita for troublesome
cough which it quickly relieved" says
Mrs. Lille Ingram, who lives at 2412
9Th avenue, Birmingham, Ala.
Though it is over a year now since
used Lung-Vita 1 am still free from
this cough and in fact, l am a well
woman, thanks to this wonderful medi-
cine. 1 have known of remarkable
benefits for the use of Lung-Vita by
others and 1 am glad to recommend it,"
The medicine that Mrs. Ingram in
dorses is now called Lev. The change
however, is in name only for the
medicine is just like it has always been.
Until his present supply is gone your
druggist will furnish you our medicine
under the name Lung-Vita, after that
under the name of L-V.

lions of intimidations, and defying the
President of the United States and the
laws of the land are made against many
turn to work. Such accusations are an
insult not only to the miners, but to
every intelligent citizen who knows the
important part that the coal miners
played in winning the great war.
This noted telegram refers to the
paid agitators or interlopers as being
cause for coal not being produced in
greater quantities. Those agitators'
were not such bad fellows during the
war, when they were continually advis-
ing the miners to produce all the coal
possible and to work eight hours day
and six days a week
IF the miners want these men to leave
them and let them deal individually with
their employers without any kind of a
union, / have not heard of it, but I am
impressed with the idea that the miners
would be more than pleased to see the
army of guards that many of the coal
companies keep around their mines have
a vacation for six months twice year.
1.-THE reliable information that the
writer of the telegram has in regard to
those hundreds of men being fed by the
organization is very misleading. The fact
is, that a few of the men who have been
refused work and who had nothing for
their families to live on have been as
sisted in a small way while waiting to
see what part the department of justice
is going to play in this case of human
rights.
I'VE also say, as the operators do, to
Attorney General Palmer and his agents
in this locality, we will give you every
assistance in our power to find out all
the facts.
MAY the god of justice deal kindly
with the men who were refused by the
coal companies the privilege of doing
what the court mandate ordered them
to do.

FROZEN HYDRANTS REFUSE ID TRAW

It was a cold. cruel world yesterday for many Bisbee people. the majority, in fact. Water pipes which were frozen three days earlier still refused to thaw. despite frantic efforts on the part of householders. The result of this situation was that those who had water pipes so protected that Jack Frost was frustrated, found them selves in the unusual position of be- ing water purE eyors 10 numerous neighbOrs.
 Bisbee folks were not the only ones affected. In Lowell, Warren. Cochise. South Risbee, Don Luis and every other part Of the district the same condition obtained.
 Business men are reported to have been scouting through their neighbOr- hood with empty buckets, searching for the lucky wight whose water still ran as per schedule of the Bisbee- Naco Water company Finding such a place meant that the householder would be approached and the man with the frozen pipes became as busy as the small boy carrying water 70 the elephant.
 One business man told the prize story in connection with the cold snap, saying he and his family had been aroused at midnight by a neighbor who wanted water.
 The water bills of the men whose hydrants did not freeze probably will take @ material upward leap, unless adjusted by the water company. One man suggested that as he would be one of the men charged in this man uer, if meter reading is the only con sideration. he is planning to have the men who had been benefited by his generosity join him in a petition to pro rate the amount in excess of his usual bill. in the neighborhood
 Tt would make no difference to me if the neighbor l borrowed water from had charged me a good stiff price," one man remarked. My fam fly actually was suffering for water to drink. I had to take my bucket and 20 out and get it, that's all

 With the opening of the term, the employment Of several new teachers became necessary. A few of these now are arriving, while others are expect ed to reach Bisbee within the next few days.

BISBEE YOUTH BACK AFTER NAVAL HITCH

John J. Mccullough, son Of the late ?. J. Mccullough, has arrived in Bis bee following his discharge from the navy. It is not his intention to re- main in Bisbee, the motive for apply ing for and obtaining his discharge having been to attend school and complete his education. Mir. McCul- lough leaves here today or tomorrow for Tucson, where he will enter the University Of Arizona.
 While in the navy Mir. Mccullough served in the crew of the battleship Minnesota. During his service with the "gobs" he made four trips to France and one to Queenstown. His vessel was conv oying troops from the United States.
 Mir. Mccullough left here shortly after the declaration of war and joined the navy, preferring that branch of the service to becoming a soldier.

BLIZZARD TIES UP
 TRAINS FROM EAST

Presumably because Of the blizzard which broke in northern Texas and Oklahoma and swept the northwest ern tier of states Thursday. the night train from the west on the Fl Paso & Southwestern was cancelled last night.
 It is probable that traffic will be more or less in disorder for the next few days, even with good weather, though the railroad companies of the west, by making up runs with local stubs and by other methods, will at tempt to follew out ordinary schedules as closely as possible.
 Wire service suffered cOncurrently with the railroads, this being indicat- ed by the fact that local brokers yes terday failed to receive anything from the east and north, while their serv- ice from the coast was slender.
 Eastern mail probably will arrive all the way from a day or two to a week late. owing to the period of prolonga- ton of the blizzard.
