 iterate Sunday Is Crisis

From the actual data secured from the railroads that move the cars loaded with coal from the Alabama mines, the coal operators were able to show yesterday that the Thursday production of coal was within fifteen per cent of normal.
 Reports from fourteen mines taken at random, from tally kept by the coal operators showed that eleven had produced more coal on Thursday than on Friday, two had broken even and one showed slight decrease.
 The large furnace mines had gone through the strike up to Friday with out a dent.
 On the other hand, J. R. Kennamer. president of the local union, late yes terday afternoon said:
 "The situation is. exceedingly
 good. The men are coming out
 rapidly. The reports from over the
 district are satisfactory. Con-
 tracts with the union are still com

 In response to a direct inquiry as to the number of men now idle Mir. Kennamer did not furnish figures. , Van A. Bitner, fornef president or thu Pittsburg organization, is expected to arrive in the city by Monday to assist local union officials with his advice SanG suggestions
 NOT GENERAL
 Including yesterday, which was tae third day of the call for general strike. the strike had not assumed general character Regarded from strictly non-p partisan standpoint, 1t had had the effect of additional men to the idle list, but the call had not been needed to any marked extent in the great strongholds of the steam coal industry. Up to Friday evening 1t was the same spotted and guerilla strike that it was prior to the strike call
 The mines that were already oa strike before the general strike call are reporting larger production Notably among these is Marvel, which is now reporting a daily production of about 300 tons. This mine was among the first shut down by the April strike and resumed July IT with half dozen men.

 claim, adds to the significance of
 the S5 per cent of normal output
 on Thursday.
 Speaking of this output Mir. Ken ramer said:
 There is a reason for this produc- tion that does not appear on the sur face. The men are being driven to make an extra large output. The operators are working double shifts and doing lot of things to make d showing.'
 Operators are reliably informed that labor agents representing operators in other states are here trying to set miners from Alabama In some instances, 1t IS claimed. these agents represent fields in which there are strikes, but they io net $ cak of that.

product goes all over the world; an
iron meter box factory, stove foundry
several large wholesale and commits
sion houses; garment factories; many
garages, etc.
Passengers going through here or
the Illinois Central are unable to see
much of the town owing to the de-
preston of the tracks. Until few
years ago there was a grade crossing
here, but owing to the location OF the
two depots it was said to be impracti-
able to install interlocks. According
to Illinois law, trains approaching
such crossings must stop and whistle.
Owing to the grade the Central could
not start its heavy freights without a
pusher, and so when the law was
enforced after small wreck on the
crossing the company decided to
separate the crossings. This was done
by cutting long subway through the
middle of the town, which caused
much grumbling at the time, but the
increased safety, the slightly concrete
viaducts and other advantages have
changed the knockers into boosters,
or at least silenced them.
