To the People of Alabama:

Shall men who desire to work and make an honest living, and who accept work which was re-
 fused by other workers on the in- stigation of paid agitators, be pro-
 tected in the right to earn their daily bread?
 Many of the men now at work
 in the mines have come from the rural sections of Alabama. They | are bone of your bone and flesh of
 your flesh, and as loyal to the state and the principles of right
 eousness and justice as you are. Yet they are being villi6sd by
 slanderous tongues and pens and an effort is being made to ter rorixe them into leaving their posts of duty.
 But they will not stand for it.
 neither will you.
 If any proof were needed that your governor was right when he
 took the situation in the coal fields in hand, here it is right under your eyes.
 Governor Kilby's prompt action
 in sending troops into this district stopped bloodshed and restored law and order. The presence of
 the troops here continues to save the lives of Alabamians every day. The head leader of the strike is visiting Alabama cities. Whed he comes to your city and attempts ot tell you that the United Mine Workers of America is "a law
 abiding, peace-loving organiza- tion," remember the sinister ad- vice his organ is giving to the | strikers of Alabama. Pay no attention to the deceit- full propaganda of the strike lead CTS. Stand by your governor and | v<v,v <.vxr, v>nnIAi

Montgomery, December 11.-(Spe- cial.)--In the face of lower prices of cotton than have maintained for the last four years, which caused him to hold his crop tighter than usual, the Alabama farmer, in keeping with his plan to defer such debts as he pos sihly can, has put his taxes in the same category, and according to W. c. Swanson, chief clerk in the auditors office, tax receipts here represent a decline of at least 25 per cent over the receipts for the same season last year. T know of no other reason for the decline" Mir.

be little hesitancy in carrying out the plan. It is pointed out that in many of the larger coal fields in the United States, where the union is now rec ognfzed, this recognition was won only after the union men had massed them selves together and expelled the scabs from the community. It is declared that successful results from the plan in other sections has inspired the men here to undertake it in the Alabama strike zone.
 Few Coming In
 Tt is already known that fewer men are being recruited for this district be- cause the news has gone out all over the state that the end of the scab in- dustry is at hand. Operators, disap- pointed over the failure to recruit any additional labor, are now beginning to be fearful of losing the men who are now working here.

The Advance concludes its incendiary article as follows:
 ''It is declared by members of the Miners' Union that the scabs have been given suffi- cient warning everywhere, and that if a few of them are caught in the rush and suffer from the effects of staying in the camp too long, it will be their own fault.
 "In this connection, it is in- teresting to note how the strikebreakers have been rout-
