 The Advance says:
 Tt has been learned from authentic 6ources that there are fewer scabs in Alabama than there were three days ago, because number of men myster- iously left their places of labor and left no address behind during the past few days, as they sped on their way, pursued by groups of striking Amer fcans who were resolved that men with out conscience or backbone should not come and take the jobs laid down by honest men engaged in an honest struggle.
 News has been received from two Important mining towns where the men have arisen to the necessity of the oc- caLsion and, despite the feeble opposi- ton of the company gunmen and guards, have given the non-union strikebreakers the customary fifteen minutes notice in which to leave camp. It is reported that the strikebreakers made their exodus within the time limit prescribed by the striking miners.
 Big Movement Begun.
 Reports from many other camps i'm dicate that the oppressed miners, driven to distraction by the intimidation of the operators, are resolved that they cannot make conditions worse and are going to make an effort to better con- ditions at any cost.
 Tt begins to look like dark day ahead for the strikebreakers. No one, apparently. offers any sympathy to him, except the coal operator. and, it is pointed out if the movement already reported to be we'll under way attains considerable headway, the handful of coal operators and the few guards at their command will be unable to stop the wave of indignation which is ex- pected to sweep the entire mining field.
 Two Methods Used
 From other reports received in Bir- mingham, it is learned that two differ ont systems are being used by organ fzed striking miners. One method is to quietly tell the strikebreaker that his term of service has expired and that he Is expected to leave the vicinity in stantly. The other method. which is said to be employed at some of the larger camps and is under considera- tion at other places. is to quietly ad- wise all persons interested that scabs are expected to be out of the camp within a week in order to avert the possible trouble that may be in store for them.
 Ut is reported that in both the Wal ker county field and in Bibb county operators are growing fearful because the movement planned by the Mine Workers Union will result in the loss of whatever labor they have been able to fool into the district. The. strike breakers are already getting out ir large numbers it is reported. because in many places they have heard that the next few weeks are destined to be hard. narrowing weeks on those who stealthily came here to help break the miners strike.
 While there was at first some doubt expressed among miners and operators as to whether the strikers would enact the programme outlined. 1t has been generally conceded now that there will
