MORE COAL MINED
NOW THAN At ANY
PERIOD LAST YEAR
Over so Per Cent Increase
in Three Weeks-NO Con-
ference Between Mine
Workers and Opera
tors Expected Here

More coal is being mined in the Biz
mingham district at present than at any
time since November of last year. The
increase has been marked the past two
weeks, jumping from about 100000 tons
three weeks ago to 100000 tons for the
week ended October IL, and S21,662 tons
for the week ended October Is. This Is.
an increase of over 50 per cent within
a month, and reports from the various
mines indicate that the output this week
will be equal to or better than last week.
No explanation is given for the sudden
improvement in production. except that
the mines are making better time than In
any period since the signing of the arms
tice
The failure Of the labor department OF
the government to affect settlement OF
Che differences between the operators and
the miners in the central competitive
field is having its effect here. The union
leaders say that the union miners will
strike on November /, in accordance with
the call of President Lewis of the United

agreement is affected in the meantime

How many men will go out on the strike
is a matter of conjecture. Officials Of

claim a union membership of upwards
OF II 600 The operators say they do not
know what the membership is, but their
estimates vary between COCO and 1900
At some of the mines, it is claimed,
there are very few union men; at others
the union men comprise a large percent
age of the total employees.
The extent to which the mines in the
district will be affected by the strike in
the event 1t is not averted, is matter
of conjecture, ana no interested party
will hazard a prediction.
President Kennamer of district NO. 20
United Mine Workers of America, has
sent copies of President Lewis strike
rail- to all local unions in his jurisdiction,
which comprises the state of Alabama
and meetings are being held daily
throughout the district. 1t is stated that
these meetings were not called especially
to consider the strike ordo but the sit

half of their respective quotas of $1l,-
500 and $500, respectively.
st. Johns church at Ensley was orig
inally assessed s2460, but this was cut
to $1,000, in view of the fact that the
church for many months was without
a rector snd was not strongly organ
lied. Several subscriptions have been
recorded, the work being under the
direction of w. r. Wilcox of Ensley'
Grace church of Woodlawn was given
a quota of s2S65, but has made no sub
scriptions as yet.
