 A. Leo Stevens, chief balloon in- structor of the United States army, was enthusiastic in his discussion of the future of the balloon as means Of transportation and factor in the sporting world. MT. Stevens said that it was but a matter of time until bal looms of 500 to 1.500 passenger capac- ity would be common. It will not only be much faster than the present meth cd of travel. but will be equally as safe The speaker gave figures showing how in Germany, since the war, air travel has become more safe than by land Birmingham has a wonderful location for aeronautics. The gas of this dis trict needs very little purification to make it the vehy best in the world.

MASS MEET|NGSTO ID
 BE HELD INDOORS,
 IS STEINER ORDER
After Conference With Gov ,ernor Original Decision Re- mains Unchanged = No Objection to Gatherings
 Under a Roof

"The original order with re- gard to mass meetings posted throughout the district stands, declared Gen. R. E. Steiner yesterday afternoon.
 This means that mass meet ings in the open in the mining field will not be allowed in the future any more than they have been since the Sunday mass meetings were broken up several weeks ago, and assem- blages were ordered restricted to meetings held in the usual place of transacting business of the miners after notice to the military that such meetings would be held.
 Following a conference Thursday
 with General Steiner, with regnrd
 to the situation in the district. the
 governor gave botice tuAt t"S
 military would not be ordered
 from the district. They will remain
 on guard in the mining field.
 The Birmingham Trades Council held a mass meeting last Sunday and adopted resolutions denouncing the order prohibiting mass meetings and sent a delegation headed by attorneys, to Montgomery to ask modification of the rules put in effect by General Steiner.
 INDOORS
 The strikers will continue to have the privilige of holding meetings in their accustomed lodge halls on notice to the militia In fact large meet ing was held at Vivian yesterday. on that occasion two soldiers sat on the stage and dozen were stationed out side the hall.
 The order posted by General
 Steiner also calls intention to the
 fact that the soldiers are here for
 the maintenance of peace and that
 both sides shall enjoy euqaI pro-
 lection. The mass metings in the
 open arc prohibited because it Is
 believed they tend to breach of the
 peace.
 There has been no outbreak in the mining field since the arrival of the military. Absolute qulet was reporteu yesterday and every day this week. PRODUCTION INCREASES Indications are that the production of coal this week will be greater than that of last. which amounted to 257, 900 tons. Carload reports for the first three days of the week point to production of 140. 900 tons for that period, which is at the rate of 2S0,00o tons per week, but Saturday is always a light day and allowing for that, the prospective pro- duction is about 2e0, 900 to 265,0 tons The largest production of any day since the strike began was that of Wednesday when movements of 1,o3s carloads from the mines were reported ARE NOT AFRAID Coal operators as a rule are not at all exercised by the approaching ses- sion of the federal grand jury on Octo- Der 29 to investigate alleged profiteer- ing. The bulk of the operators declare that they are perfectly willing for those who may have profiteered to be exposed and prosecuted. The rank and file of the legitimate operators say they welcome any investigation and any probe, however deep.
