Deputy Sheriff EdgiH Dies
 or the Wounds ReceiUed at
 Time Leon Adler Was Killed
Coal Output Situation Remains Normal-Best Monday Re- port made Yesterday In Several Weeks Past

Deputy Sheriff Earl Edgill, who was shot at the same time that Leon Adler was killed near Corona, died in the hospi- tai of the Corona Coal Con- pany Tuesday afternoon of the wounds inflicted at that time. This is the second death re- sulting from that ambush at- tack. Thirteen men are in the Jasper jail and held in connec- tion with this affair. The military and the sheriff of Walker county are making a thorough probe of the double killing and every placed in Jail.
 More coal was mined in Alabama
 on Monday than on several preced-
 ing Mondays, according to authen-
 tic reports.
 There is no doubt that many men are returning to work, They drift in one by one and by twos and threes and the half dozens. Many of them have moved from one mine to another. Quiet prevailed in the district Mon day and Tuesday. The coal zone is well patroled by the military. Wherever the soldiers have appeared law and order have automatically taken the place of violence, threats and intimida- tion.
 Indications point to larger produc- ton this week than in number of preceding ones. The Monday produc- ton of the Pratt Consolidated was the largest days output in more than two weeks.
 Majestic mines, which shut down two days last week following the mur- derous attack on negro miners there, resumed Monday with eighty per cent force and a larger one on Tuesday. Conditions are practically normal there now.
 INCREASED OUTPUT
 In spite of the two days of shut down at Majestic mines of the Imperial Coal Company last week. the weeks pro- duction of it's three mines was more than 5000 tons and within fraction of the production of the preceding week. But for the tragedy at Majes- tic the production would have showr, an increase.
 Davis Creek mines, which resumed some time ago, attained a production last week of sol tons compared With 659 during the preceding week. This mine has made steady progress ever since it resumed operations.
 Other mines reporting increases last week over the preceding week are Aetna, Lehigh Galloway. East Pratt Woodward Iron Company, Stith, Booth ton, Yolande. Out of the first seven teen mines reporting for last week nine showed an increase in production.
 The Woodward is producing around 25, 900 tons every week. DeBardeleben and Alabama Fuel and Iron are pro- ducing their normal quota and have done so straight along. Roden Coal Company, which is one of the mine' that resumed some time ago, has worked up it's production to more than 1000 tons weekly.
 The increased number Of hours worked by the men is noticeable. Sew eral mines report forty eight hours, which is a full weeks work, and many report forty, forty-one and up.
 The men at work now are averaging more efficiency than wss the case prior to the strike of this spring or since the general strike call of Septem- ber z. The greater length of time put in at work is also explained by the fact that the workers have not been inclined to lay off and be subjected to intimidations by the ron workers.
