Nothing to Be Gained By Delay of Strike, States Local 0f- ficials of Mine Workers. Invite Fullest investigation By Commission

Feeling that nothing could be gained by delaying the order calling for a general strike of the coal miners in Alabama, the district execu- tive board, United Mine Workers will allow the order to stand, according to a tele- gram directed to Governor Kilby last night.
 This decision was arrived at when the executive board met yesterday to consider a telegram from the governor asking that the strike be postponed. Governor Kilby appointed commission of three prominent citizens of Ala bama, Judge J. J. Mayfield. pr. George H. Denny and former Gov. Charles Henderson, to investigate the claims of the mine workers and the coal op- orators and try to affect a compromise. The board carefully considered the telegram of the governor, according to President Kennamer. but stated they ing the strike.
 Therefore the order issued Saturday, which calls the coal workers to go into strike at midnight, Tuesday, Sep temper z, is still in effect.
 TEXT OF TELEGRAM
 The complete text of the telegram to Governor Kilby follows:
 The coal miners of this district
 are merely claiming the privilege
 of dealing with their employers
 through representatives of their
 own selection. This the operators
 announce they will never under any
 circumstances agree to. and
 dfschnrging men for attending
 meetings joining organizations
 or other activities in connection
 herewith.
 Approximately 5000 workers have been on strike in this district for months. The refusal of the coal op- orators to enter into contracts em- bodying the award of the United States coal commission is responsible for these local strikes.
 
 exhausted every honorable effort at it's command to avoid this last resort of a general strike. The whole situa- tion can be instantly averted by the coal operators of the district. We are confident that there is no question at issue which cannot be speedily ad justed by the joint conference of the coal operators, and may we suggest that you direct your best efforts to bear upon the coal operators of Ala bama toward the assembling of joint conference with the organized mine workers representatives.
 NOTHING TO BE GAINED
 Your telegram was given the fullest consideration by the district executive board in session this afternoon, and in view of the irreconcilable attitude of the operators we feel that nothing could be gained by further delay upon the part of the miners in taking this necessary step for their protection. In the meantime we invite the fullest in vestigation by your commission so that the public may be informed al to the merits of our cause, and we hope that by its report the operators may be in- fluenced> to do justice to their em- ployes."

SUBMIT GRIEVANCE

Having agreed to submit all matters of possible and substantial grievances and complaints to the commission named by you, excepting only the demand of the United Mine Workers of America fNr recognition, which in their paid ad S/r- tisements they have heretofore G:s- claimed, if the United Mine Workers of America now refuse to submit to the Jurisdiction of your commission. we sub init that their selfishness will stand ex- posed, and it will be apparent to all. as we have always contended, that the issue in dispute, and the sole object of the strike, is their demand that only trose who belong to the union can work, and that non-members of their organization must be deprived of a means of lveli- hood.

The Satin Moth.

European satin moths, q species thai
has not heretofore been reported In thif
country, have invaded the towns of Med
ford and Maiden, Mass, and have cen
tered their attack on the poplar trees IL
that district. A study OF the life history
and habits of the satin moth, with view
to preventing the insects from spreading
will be made by A. F. Burgess, in charge
of moth research work at the bureau oi
entomology of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
The satin moth of Europe, which tech
nically is known as Stilpnotia salics
was given its name because of Its white
ness and the satin-like lustre of its wings
1t attacks principally poplar, oak and
willow trees, and Is found most gener
ally in the British Isles, Germany, Spain
Italy and other Southern European coun
tries and In Eastern Asia.
The moths fly we'll and the bureau oi
entomology is making efforts to extermi
nate as many of the csterpillars anG
pupa as possible, to prevent quantities
of moths emerging with heavy migration
to adjoining territory. The full grown
caterpillars are about an inch and hall
in length and of q yellowish color with
prominent white blotches on each seq
ment of the back. Because Of their col
oring they are conspicuous and diffel
greatly from the csterpillars found II
this region.
