THE whole falsity Of this position

COAL OUTPUT
S5PER CENT
Alabama Operators Say That
Numbers of Men Are Be-
ing Imported.
fey AssocIated Press.l

Birmingham, Sept 1O.-Figures
compiled by railroads showing actual
movement of cars from lines today in
dicate that coal production in Ala ALBANIA
is 85 percent normal. Union officials
said they were well pleased with the
progress and that the strike will
spread rapidly after mass meetings
Sunday.
Reports early today showed a dozen
mines in the Alabama district had
closed down and many more had been
affected by the general strike of Unit
ed Mine Workers, which went into eff
feet Tuesday.
More than 1900 men have quit
work, according to union figures. The
operators claim this estimate is excess
sive and their information is that
6, 500 are out.
Mines along the Warrior river have
been most seriously handicapped. The
Blossburg, Pratt, Brookside and
Blocton fields have also been affected
reports at union headquarters show
ing there has been general re-
sponse to the strike call in these sec
tions.
With the expected arrival here to-
day of DR. George H. Denny. the chair
man of Gov. KiIby's coal commission,
was planning its first session with all
three members present.
While men were quitting work in
all parts of the coal fields today, hun
dreds of empty cars were being rushed
here from all points of the compass
in response to an appeal sent out last
week. Car shortage has existed in
this section for some time and has
been the cause of lay-offs at many
mines. Coal operators announce they
have imported a number of men to
take the places of those who have quit
and that they would continue to re-
cruit their forces to take advantage
of the sudden influx of empty cars.

Opposed to League.
lRu Aasncia4ed oress. \

New York, Sept. 10.-The nomination
of Thomas f. Watson to succeed Hoke
Smith as United States senator from
Georgia represents something of a
blow to the democratic party" George
White, chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee, stated here today,
while discussing the southern primary
results.
"The fact that Watson has been NOM
mated in Georgia, despite his opposi =
ton to the League Of Nttions in any
form, constitutes a temporary loss to
u.s." he said.
His nomination, l believe, resulted
not so much from his attitude on any
national question, however, as from the
support accorded him by a large per-
sonal following. 1t is my opinion that
in Georgia they nominated Watson, the
man in the primaries. l do not believe
the nomination expressed the view OF
the georgia electorate on the league is

Mr.. White secuted the suggestion that
Georgia might throw any of the weight
of her vote to the republican through
any dislike of the League of Nations.
that he had conducted his campaign
for the United States senate on a plat
form advocating unconditional rejec-
tion Of the League of Nations and un-
conditional maintenance of American
principles" Thomas E. Watson, in a
statement to the Associated Pres to-
day said his victory In Wednesdays
democratic primary proved the stand of
the majority of Georgia voters on the
issue.
Mr.. Watson declared his "overwhelm-
ing victory" was won against the at
tempted dictation of officers of the
American Legion and for the great
English principles of free speech, free
press, free assemblage and complete
separation of church and state"
IF any money was spent in my cam
paign," Mr.. Watson's statement said, II
do not know of it. OF course, l paid
