MINERS In ALABAMA
ORDERED TO STRIKE
(By Associates Press.)

Birmingham. Ala, Sept. &C. B.
| Kennemar, president of the Alabama
| division, United Mine Workers OF
America, conferred here today with
! other union officials on plans for car
rying out the general strike in the To-
| cal fields ordered yesterday by John
L. Lewis, national president of the
| organization.
The order for a general strike in
| this state did not occasion any sur
| prise in industrial circles. Hundreds
| OF miners have already quit their
| jobs and several of the mines have
| been shut down for more than
| month, partly because of the walkout
and partly on account of the shortage
of cars.
| Last May, following the award Of
the presidents coal commission, Ala
bama operators posted in their mines
| notices containing an outline plan for
industrial shop councils" which were
to have general supervision over
| hours, wages and working conditions.
The plan provided for representation
| of workers in the councils. Union
/ leaders who announced they would not
approve the plan because it did not
contain a statement recognizing the
| union. They also charged the councils
| would be packed" with representa-
tives of the operators.
On May approximately 1000 min
ers walked out. Their ranks were
| increased gradually and at present
about 5000 are on strike. Twenty
thousand men are employed in the
local fields.
A month ago coal operators started
proceedings to get possession of COM
pan yhouses occupied by the strikers.
| Several thousand of these cases are
| still in the courts on appeals, the men
claiming their wages were held back
| by the companies when they walked
out and refusing to Vacate the houses
| until they are paid off. The coal COM
panies claim the men broke their con-
tracts by quitting work.
Striking miners have received lib
eral support from their local and
national organizations. Operators
claim the production has not de-
creased since the walkout and have
figures to show it is greater than at
this time last year. Union leaders
claim production is almost at a stand
still. To date only one clash has oc-

LIoyd's Register Shows That United
States Started Building After 1917.

The story of Americas supreme eff
fort in shipbuilding stands out in
statistics which have Just been is
sued by Lloyds Register of Ship
ping.
These figures show that the sea-
going tonnage of American ships has
increased near 100000 tons or al
most 500 percent. since 1914. While
the period involved is six years, the
great squirt in American ship con-
struction covered only half that per

ship building in the United States,
according to a study of Americas
Merchant Marine" by the Bankers
Trust Company, of New York, was at
its lowest rate of production in II
years.
For a year from the outbreak of
the war the American output was only
N225,122 tons of all classes of ships in
yards which had a building capacity of.
of 10000 tons. In the following year,
ending June 80, 1916. American pro-
duction Of steamships had increased
to only 232,354 tons.
Even when the United States en-
tered the war in 1917 the building ca

were at that time only 81 American
shipyards which could build sea- going
ships. OF this number 81, or little
more than half, were equipped for
steel shipbuilding. These yards had
a total of 1872 ways, while "a shipyards
comprised rs ways.
Americas great effort in ship
building, came after 1917. So rapidly
were yards created, when the nation
set out in earnest to meet theNworld's
call for ships, that before hostilities
ended the United States possessed 341
ship plants for sea going ship con-
struction with total of 1884 ways
This was more than double the num-
Der of shipways in the yards of all
other nations combined.
In 1917 there were only $4,000 men
employed in the American shipbuild-
ing industry. BY September, 1918, says
the Bankers Trust Company, the
number had been increased TO $685.
$50. This new army of shipbuilders
produced, in the year ending June

gregating 3,746,216 tons, or more than
10 times the tonnage of American
steam craft that had been built in
1915 when the nation began to speed
up ship construction. The industry
was keyed-up for even greater out
