Hon. A. Palmer Mitchell, Attorney
General. Washington. D. C.
'eNe are advised representations
have been made to you by the union
officials that the operators of this
district are refusing employment to
striking mine workers for the pur-
pose of restricting production. Re-
lying upon the representative of the
department of justice here to give
you the specific facts in each case,
we take the liberty of submitting to
you the facts pertaining to the mat
ter in general
strike the output of coal in this
district was approximately SO per
cent of the normal for the district,
which is almost equal to the per-
centage of production for the en-
tire Unite Estates during this year
up to November ]. BY the end of
the coming week we will be produce
ing all of the coal necessary to
supply the ordinary needs of the
consumers using coal from this dis
trict. in spite of the fact that at
practically all of the mines where .
the workmen are solidly unionized,
or a majority of them belong to the
union, the workmen have shown no
disposition to return to work. al
though the operators of these mines
have used every effort to induce
them to do so and at the greater
number of such mines the men have
voted not to return to work.
I'm many instances where the
union men are in the majority they
desired to return to work not to go
back into the mines. The coal now
being produced is from mines free
of union workmen or where there
were sufficient nonunion to con-
tinue or start operations during the
strike.
Almost without exception the
cases reported to you by union Of
ficials are at mines which continued
working during the strike or start
ed work before the strike order was
recalled. and the men refused re-
employment are those demanding
they be taken back to displace
patriotic, law abiding workmen
who faithfully discharged their
duty during the national emer-
gency and Loyalty stood by their
government and it's constitution and
laws In many instances strikers

are peremptorily demanding the
discharge of these loyal men as a
condition precedent to returning to
work
THE principals in this demand
and also those demanding re-em-
ployment are the men who TO-
mented the strike. defied the Presi-
dent of the United States and the
laws of the land and by threats
and other forms of intimidation
have prevented men who desire to
work from going back into the
mines, and have also hampered in
every way they could the operaN
ton of the mines producing the
coal which the people and the
government so badly needs.
I'VE are advised and are con-
WINGED that the fellow workmen
of these disruptionists indorse the
position of the operators in this
matter and would gladly be rid of
the interference of these paid agi-
tators and will produce a great
deal more coal than they can if
they continue to be harassed by
these interlopers We are firmly
of the belief that the loyal men
who continued to work during the
strike and those who returned TO
work when the court decided that
the strike was illegal will produce
all the coal required from this dis
trict: whereas. IL they are penalized

SITUATION IN ENGLAND

The situation in England was splendid,
Mr.. Bashinsky related.
England today is supplying the world
with goods. Practically all her indus
tries are in motion. Her cotton trade
is booming and her spinners are running
in fine form. The labor situation has
been cleared up since the government has
taken control She is fast forging ahead.
England's greater difficulty, however. is
that of finances. The pound sterling
has dropped from a par value Of $50 to
that Of $40
In France the great, overshadowing
problem was the lack of man power, Mr.
Bashinsky said:
Upon every hand one sees women do
ing the work of men," Mr.. Bashinsky
described. "Never before have the women
of France so entered into the Industrial
life. You see them as statesmen in stores
as conductors, motormen, switchmen in
factories, indeed they are to be seen
doing the work Of man in every possible
capacity.

LEARNED OF DECEPTION

I'm 1914 the people were branded as
one, powerful in their resolute spirit
They were ready and glad to give their
ALL and even under defeat go back to
the work of reconstruction. Then they
thought their country had been attacked
A year later, as the men began to return
from the front they learned of the de-
ception practiced upon them
This left them spiritless. Their pa
triotism waned. They lost hope and
heart Their will is broken They haven't
even the heart to try again. The Ger
man citizens. once formerly admired for
their splendid physique, are no more
They are stoop- shouldered. spiritless
mere shadows of their former selves.
Their industries have been swept
away Only the lands and houses re-
main. The bonds held by the people are
worthless The powerful navy merchant
marine and the collateral for these bonds
have gone over to the allies. OF course,
Germany must build anew, but how I'M
utterably slow and tedious will be the
rebuilding, because German manhood also
seems to have been swept into the gem

UNION OFFICIALS
CONTINUE EFFORT
TO SECURE Jobs
FOR ALL STRIKERS
Operators Deny They Are
Refusing Places to Any
Men Simply Because
They Are Union
Members

Officials of the union miners
organization continued their
efforts yesterday to secure the
reinstatement of the strikers in
their old positions. Addition
al reports brought to union
headquarters during the day
increased the total number of
union men who were alleged to
have been turned back by OPP
orators or their agents to over
1000, according to statement
made by international Organi-
yer George Hargrove yesterday
afternoon.
The operators deny that they are
refusing jobs to any men simply be-
cause they are members of the union.
They assert that certain men are not
being taken back simply because they
are aaitators and disturbers and for
no ether reason.
The district will be better off with
out these men. the operators declare.
Il was reported yesterday that the
union miners in Bibb county had voted
in mass meetings not to return to work
and that similar action had been taken
at seuls of the Tuscaloosa county
mines.
THE Fith coqaty mines have not re-
sumed operatlcns, it is stated, and the
failure or refusal OF the union miners
to go back to work ia given as the
cause
