If Christ, on the day He was born,
had started on a tour to preach In ev-
cry village in India, He would still
have 10000 more to visit.
We now believe we have found a
way by which the leaders of the Prot
estant churches can sit around a COM
mon table and have the Christian pro.
gram Of the entire world laid before
them. By means Of the In%terchurch
World Movement we can see where
the Methodists are, and where the
Baptists are. We car see the general
outline of their forces, their present
status In this great world struggle,
and may also have some Idea of the
unoccupied places, and what may be
done by all Of us to enter these unoc-

CHURCHES TO AID LONELY
SHEEP SHEARERS OF WEST

The bleat Of the sheep on the back
bone of the continent calls men to the
mountains. On high uplands from the
Canadian border to Mexico, In lonely
and inaccessible places, N of the
most romantic examples of the coun-
try's migrant worker-the sheep
shearer-plies his trade.
Unheard Of though he Is to thou
sands Of his fellow workers, 1t was
for him that the Immigration regula-
lions Of three countries-Canada, the
United States and Mexico-were modi-
fed during the war. This permitted
freedom of movement to many hun
dreds Of this strange craft, and the
means of employment to thousands In
factories and stores.
Yet, for all his Importance in the
ranks of the nations great Marching
Army of the Employed, what sort of
life does this man lead? The migrant
fruit packer, or wheat harvester, or
farmland, or lumberman often roams
inland through cities and the con-
gested spots of civilization. But the
sheep shearer, by the nature of his
trade, is cut off from such influences.
Through a survey of the nations
migrant labor now being made by the
Interchurch World Movement, 1t is
suggested that for men of this class
relief may be afforded through church.
es in outlaying districts. For social
and other purposes these men, with
proper cooperation by church bodies,
could make use of many of the
facilities without which they are
doomed to a life of isolation.

October Is PLAYER Piano Month

-
We are endeavoring
to make October the
greatest Player Piano
Month in our history,
and we have made our
plans on a big scale
which we are positive
will carry us over the
top.
1919 was the biggest
year in our history, and
we are pleased to be able
to truthfully say that we
have increased our 1920
business every month so
far over the correspond
ing month for last year.
September just closed
was the largest Septem-
Der by far we have ever
had.
We are especially
proud Of this showing at
a time when other lines
are reporting slumps.
Piano prices are sta
bilized, and there is no
indication of a change
this year and possibly
next year. But prices Of,
pianos have not adj
vanced anywhere in pro-
portion to most other
lines. When necessities
come down to- the level
Of pianos everybody will
be happy.
It takes less bushels
of corn or wheat, less
pounds of pork or beef,
less butter, fewer days
labor, or not nearly as
great part of the av-,
erage yearly salary as.in
former years to pur-
chase a piano.

VAN B|TNER HERE
 ID HELP STRIKERS Kennamer Hopes Soldiers Will Disarm Mine Guards With
 the Others

Van Bitner, former president of the Pittsburg district miners union, has ar
 rived in Birmingham and reported to the local headquarters of the union in the Farley building.
 MT. Bitner is a vigorous man, apparent alert appearance and suggests executive ability.
 When seen at the headquarters of Pres ident Kennamer of the local union he said he had come to Alabama to help I win the strike"
 He was in conference with union lead
 CTS during the day.
 President Kennamer says he is not op-
 posed to the coming of the troops to the
 strike region, but he insists that all be
 treated alike by the military. He con- tinued.
 The United Mine Workers are not op- posing the introduction of troops in the mining region of Alabama, If soldiers are necessary for the preservation of order. But we insist. and we have the right to expect, that the military authorities will treat all alike We hope that no favor itism will be shown to either side in this controversy. We sincerely hope that or der may prevail and that the soldier $ will see to it that this is done. We not only favor but we demand that the military authorities disarm every per- son who is found carrying a gun, regard less of whether he be a miner or a mine
 guard or a coal company gunman une
 has no more right to carry gun than the other. It would not be right for the militia to disarm all of the miners and allow all of the company gunmen to carry guns, and we do not believe that the people Of Alabama would approve any such plan. The United Mine Workers be- lieve in law and order and they are op- | ar fa Ilx lacg guna fr fnpr, turbances can be avoided and peace will
 prevail if everyone is given a square deal and rights are respected. It would be
 wholly unfair for the troops to disarm all of the miners and allow all of the
 mine guards and company gunmen to carry guns.
 'The military forces now have the en-
 tire situation in the coal mining district
 in their hands and we sincerely hope that i. will be handled in such manner as will
 leave no excuse for criticism from any
 direction"

PROTEST REPORT
 ON STRIKE HERE
Chamber of Commerce Wires Southern Labor Congress
 Regarding Resoutions

The Birmingham Chamber of Com merce, through it's directors, has filed protest against the adoption by the Southern Labor Congress in Washing ton of a set of resolutions roundly con- demning the coal operators of the Bir- mingham district and pledging their support to the striking miners.
 The resolution was presented by R. H. White of Birmingham. It was scath- ing denunciation of the coal operators and declared that the miners were en- gagged in a fight for decent living wage.'
 The resolution adopted by the chamber and telegraphed to the Southern Labor Congress was as follows:
 We wish to enter vigorous protest against resolution introduced by R. s. White of Birmingham, an employe of The Birmingham News, which was adopt ed at your session yesterday, September 16 because it seriously reflects on the city of Birmingham and the district, and further is grossly misleading.
 There is no contention on the part of any one even the coal mine em- ployes of this district, that they are not receiving living wage or that living and working conditions at the coal mines are not entirely satisfactory and are not as good as will be found elsewhere.
 The call for the strike issued by the United Mine Workers officials and their published statements are to the effect that the strike was called purely and only for recognition of the union and to force the operators to meet with union officials in joint conference.
 Because of the strike. bloodshed, in- limitation and dynamiting of homes by the strikers are prevalent in the district and has forced the governor of the state to order out state militia to preserve order and the dignity of the state, also to prevent further loss of life and dis regard of the law. We feel your con- gross should be familiar with the true facts in the case, hence. this wire
