 There are to be no exceptions among those who do not meet the requirements of the Lewis order On the other hard, the mines with whom we have contracts may rest secure. These contracts will be carried out to the letter.
 Nothing out of routine occurred yes- terday beyond discussion of the Lewis
 der authorizing a general strike. It
 expressly recognized in their award
 the Alabama coal operators did not N would not recognize them.
 f%Our reason for refusing to deal with or recognize the miners union is based on our experience with them in other years prior to 1908, and with the experi- ence other fields are having with them today where they are constantly breaking their contracts. The people of Alabama, no doubt, remember the experiences of 1904 and 1908.
 "The bituminous coal commission did recommend that the operators of Ala bama meet with their employees and put the award into effect. This was done promptly Every operator in the state is glad to meet with his employees to deal with any question at issue, and this is a universal practice at the mines in this state, and will continue to be.
 MINERS ATTITUDE
 At local mine headquarters 1t was an nounced that the order of President Lewis will be carried out and it was predicted that it would be obeyed by thousands of men both now in the uni9n and by the unorganized.
 Exact procedure to be followed by the local officials appeared not to have been outlined late yesterday afternoon. At that time Local President Kennamer was in consultation with other off cials.
 J. l.. Cleno, secretary of the Alabama district, said:

Brown the advan- tages that were being derived from the market both by numerous house. wives who were buying the produce and by the farmers themselves, every one of whom, when asked. expressed him. self as pleased with the new location. WAIVE OBJECTIONS
 MT. Brown expressed himself as
 much impressed by the size of the mar ket and the number of people served.
 He waived his objections that the peo- pie al the market trampled on the grass of the park and stated he was entirely willing for the present mark ct to remain.
 More than score of farmers were
 interviewed by the committed, and ev- cry one expressed himself as with the
 committee which Wednesday advocated

 GROWING POPULARITY With the growing popularity of the market, the number of housewives in- creasing daily, many of the problems l before the market committee are solv- l ing themselves.

SPRAYING CITY TREES
 TO KILL PARASITES

Active work of spraying the shade trees of the city against the ravages of the tent caterpillar is in progress. Commissioner J. Ellis Brown, who is directing the work. stated that thirty four trees were sprayed the first day. Arsenate of lead is being used to kill the pests.
 Persons wishing their trees sprayed should notify Commissioner Brown. A man is being employed by the city to do the work. The cost of the com pound used as a spray is charged to those for whom work is done. It is estimated that the cost will be 50 cents for small tree and $1 for large one. The work is necessarily slow. due to the fact that those requesting work live in different ses~5ns of the city.

Coal Miners Say Lewis Order to Strike Will Be Carried Out Here
Operators State That Recognition of Union Is Main Cause of Situaton-Both Sides to Hold Meetings, and Def mite Developments Are Expected Today-State
 ments Are Made by Officials

Operators of coal mines declare that the order of the pres dent of the United Mine Workers of America authorizing immediate strike of because the operators mak contracts acceptable to the local union officials the and desperate of union recognition and that will fail. others have done.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-09-03

The operators were disposed to treat
 the order with indifference. They declare
 tEat the union heads in Alabama had practically expended their energies in the endeavor to call men out of the mines
 With small success. and Lewis strike or
 der IS regarded by them as an effort to save the face of the union. They declare that mines which have re- sumed operations since the strike was called last May have held their own and that the shortage of cars is a more> se- rlous obstacle to production than the strike.
 Frank Nelson, Jr., said, in comment. ing on the situation
 The very fact that contracts ratified py the union incorporate, the recommen- dations of the bituminous coa1 commits sion. which had been promptly put into effect by the operators of Aiapama, proves conclusively that the real and only issue is the recognition of the union."
 OPERATORS ATTITUDE The attitude of the operators is well ex- pressed by James Bonnyman, chairman of a committee of coal operators, who made this statement yesterday Afternoon: Boiled down, there are only two points
 mentioned as basis for this call. First, that the Alabama coal operators have not put into effect the award of the bitumi- nous coal commission; second, that the coal operators of Alabama have persis- tently refused to meet with the officials of the United Mine Workers of America. through their officers in Alabama.
 AS to the first, the statement is ab- solutely false, as every operator Tn tne state promptly put into effect the find ings of the bituminous coal commission immediately after those findings were publicly announced and without argument or discussion.
 "As to the seconds the operators Of Alabama have and always will refuse ab- solutely to treat directly or indirectly with the United Mine Workers of Amer ica. The public should know, however, that the bituminous coal commission did not direct the operators of Alabama to deal with the United Workers of America
 "Of course, we will obey the instruc- tions of President Lewis. They speak
 for themselves. All mines will be af-

Denver Parson Aims to Keep
Congregation Awake
And Succeeds.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 13.-The S. R.
0. sign was hung out recently at
Grace M. E. church. Pastor G. S.
Lackland's scheme of "jazzing 'em
to heaven" was responsible. The
big auditorium of the church was
crowded to the doors. Scores of
people were clamoring for adnis-
sion.
The jazzing of syncopating
negro orchestra packed the church
as it never before had been packed.
Every seat was occupied and all
other available room was filled with
chairs. The negro jazzers were
cramped for space in which to jazz,
so great was the crowd.
1T went over big" DR.. Lakeland
declared in discussing his expert
ment of popping up church music by
using a jazz orchestra that plays
ragtime in a fashion to wake up the
dead.
Other Pastors Opposed.
"It isn't religion" declared Dean
II. Martyr Tart. "Jazz bands are
entirely out of place at religious
service"
"What next?" exclaimed the Rev.
Henry S. Foster, pastor of the
Church of the Ascension. "Jazz
music does not put people in a re-
ligious frame of mind. 1t causes
them to want to dance. 1 can't see
any relation between jazz and re-
ligion. I use it myself in the parish
house for children's dances, but in
church-it has no business there"
"They simply ate it up" declared
DR.. Lakeland. There have been
some criticisms, l understand, but
none have come to me direct. The
persons who complained were not at
the open forum meeting. A lot OF
those who were there didn't know
until Sunday afternoon what jazz
music really is.
II have had lot of requests to
continue it,
Regular Music Soporific.
1t is DR.. Lackland's idea that
something must be done to liven up
the church service, The music in
most churches, he insists, tends to
put the congregation to sleep, while
a jazz orchestra, he thinks, would
waken every one up and put the
worshippers in more receptive
mood for the sermon.
"Jazz music woke UP France" de-
c1ares DR.. Lakeland. why not use
it to wake up the church? TIE old,
poky church service is so slow peo-
pie who come 10 worship God are
put to sleep. Let's wake them up
with some real music-music that
has pep and a punch and kick and
which will put them in a frame of
mind to appreciate the blessings Of

FRAGRANT PIPE
IS NOW GAINING
WOMAN'S FAVOR
T'obacconists in England Say
Cigars and Briar Popular
With Gentler Sex.

London, Jan. lS.--Mrs. Mabel
Walcn of Willesden Green, London,
may not be the only woman pipe
smoker in England, but up. to the
present time she has the distinction
of being the first to publicly boast OF
it and give her reasons for doing so.
Tobacconists say that pipe smoking
among women is on the increase,
even more so than the cigar habit.
Mrs. Walen takes exceptional pleas
ure in her briars and her calabashes.
"I average about four pipes in a
day and cigar in the evening with
my husband over a game of chess
she says.
Smoked Cigars Many Years.
"T have smoked pipes and cigars
for many years. l don't care about

calabashes and possess two pipes by

Mrs. Walen. who is woman of
splendid physique, says smoking
never affects her health. She
smoked her first cigar when 14-a

1T had no i'll effect upon me, and |
have been smoking ever since. | do
not limit myself, and l smoke most

The first time Mrs. Walen lit a
cigar in a London restaurant she
says she was asked to leave. She
was contentedly putting calabash
when the photographers and report
ers called on her.
Some French women are making
big attempt to show the men that
they refused any longer to be con-
sidered of the weak sex. They tried
this in the war, when they proved
they could do a mans work. In
peace time they are trying to prove
they can also equal a man in his
pleasure.
Likes Her Pipe.
They have taken UP all sorts of
athletics. Many French women
smoke as many cigarets day as
any man. One recently showed she
was equally able to smoke cigar
without any i'll effect. Now one has
come forward to prove she can
smoke a pipe, and smoke it well.
She made no attempt to conceal the
fact, for she chose fashionable
Partisan restaurant to give the dis
play. Men looked at her susprlsed,
but they did not dare to smile.

the Weekly Dispatch. "One day in
