NO SYMPATHETIC STRIKE

There was no intimation, however
that any of these organizations would
order a sympathetic strike. This sub
ject, it was stated. had not been dis
cussed
While the local situation was not
overlooked, chief interest in the strike
centered in Indianapolis and Washing
ton A report in an afternoon paper
to the effect that through leak" at
Indianapolis, it had been learned that
the strike order would be recalled,
gave rise to much speculation as to
the effect such action would have on
the miners in the Birmingham district
With four or five exceptions, every
mine in the Birmingham district is
run on the open shop principle. and
from the best information available,
less than half of the miners in the dis
trist are members of the union. The
fact that so per cent or more of the
miners, according to statements of the
operators worked last week, coupled
with the recall of the strike order, if it
is made. led to the belief that within
a very few days the coal mines in the
birmingham district would again be
operating under practically noraml con-
1itions.
The report published Sunday morn
ing that two of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company mines at
Pratt City had been closed down by.
the company was denied yesterday 1t
was stated that the mines were not
operated last week because the miners
refused to work 1t was further stated
that both of the mines would be re-
opened at an early date.
1t was also denied that the commits
sary at these mines had been moved
to another place.

GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT

The mandatory injunction order
was "a great Disappointment to them
while the action of the American
Federation of Labor furnished the
one bright spot TO their way OF
thinking.
1t was stated by officials of the
union that the men were very Bit
ter over the Injunction order and
they EXPRESSED the belief that the
great majority of them would not
return to work regardless of the
result of the conference at Indiana
polls.
William l.. Harrison, union organizer
stated that he was at several mines
Sunday and saw delegations from a
large number of others yesterday and
that every where he went and every
delegation that called at headquarters
were of the opinion that the men woulo
NOT return to work even though the
strike order is recalled as result OF
the Indianapolis conference.
.The men are sore" he said, and
do not believe they will pay any at
tention to the recall order If one is
made by President Lewis in conformity
to the courts order.
At the district headquarters Of the
miners union it was stated yesterday
that several of the other unions in Biz
mingham at meetings held Sunday in
dorsed the coal miners strike. and
pledged their support TO the strikers.
to this effect adopted by
the various unions were forwarded to
the international headquarters in In

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1919-11-11

This order came rather unexpectedly,
neither the operators nor the mine
union officials having anticipated in
reference by the federal government
so long as quiet prevailed and no signs
of violence came to the surface.
At the beginning of the second week
of the coal miners strike operators
stating last night that more men were
working than on any previous day s.nce
the strike began This was disputed
by union officials, however, who claim
ed that all of the men out last week
were still out yesterday
The action of the federal court at In
dianapolis in issuing the mandatory in
junction to recall the strike order, and
the statement of the executive commit
tee of the American Federation of Labor
made public Saturday, night in which
it approved the coal miners strike and
promised the support of that organl-
cation to the strikers. were the prin-
cipal topics of discussion in mining
circles, both among operators and union
officials yesterday. The operators eX-
pressed no opinion for publication with
reference to either, but the union offi-
Gals minced no words in handling the
subjects

Federal guards are now sta
toned at every coal mine in
the Birmingham district, it was
learned yesterday, to protect
the men who want to work.
United States Marshal H. A.
Skeggs received Geographic in
instructions from Washington
yesterday to place guards at
the mines in sufficient numbers
to protect the workers and to
preserve order.
Acting upon this order United States
marshal detailed deputy marshals to
guard the mines. He was instructed
to employ extra deputies or guards if
necessary.
''The government is determined
that the production of coal in this
district will not be fnterferred with
by any one,v said MIR. Skcsgs, "and
will see that the law is enforced ,
in this matter. All miners desir-
ing to work will be given full pro-
lection of the government which
will also see that the operators of
coal mines do not violate the law
by profiteering In this commodity,
the production of which has been
somewhat curtaiied by the strike"

Clothing worn in the house IT. win ter should not be thick and heavy, as the body is then kept too warm, perspiration forms, and chilling oc- CUTS when going outdoors. It Is much better to wear thinner clothing and put on thick wraps when going outside
 Woolen material is best in winter, as it is poor conductor of heat. It also absorbs moisture and checks the evaporation of precipitation.
 Several thin, loosely woven gar ments, are warmer than thick one. The advantage results from the lay CTS of warm air incloscd between she meshes of the material
 Undergarments, when made of wool frequently irritate the skin, so merino, which is mixture of wool and cotton, is generally used in it's place for this purpose.
 Underclothes should be frequently washed. as it is necessary that they should be kept clean as possible.
