SAYS MINERS ONLY
 FURNISH SUPPORT
No Other Labor Organiza- tion Contributing In the
 Cause, Says Kennamer

Asked as to truth of the report that the striking miners in the domestic mine field were being supported by local union labor organizations outside the mining craft and not by the national mine workers union, J. R. kennamer, president of the Alabama division of the United Mine Workers of America, said: ''The opposite is true. We are not being supported by local unions other than our town, but the strikers are being furnished relief by the national organization of the United Mine Workers. The miners who are at work are also contributing to the support of those who are on strike. No outside labor organization is con ttributing.
 Mir kennamer denies reports of im- proved conditions at Coal Valley and Townley. His information is that less coal is being mined at Townley than when the strike began.
 Speaking of the union organizer who went to Coal Valley on Sunday, he says this man. MT. Moran. attempted to hold meeting in the public road near the commissary, but was met by company guards and invited to leave the place. He says Moran called for protection but was not accorded any and was forced to leave without accomplishing his er- rand
 MT. kennamer's statement runs counter to that of gentlemen who are at Coal Valley and who claim that there Is D per cent working force Where and thas conditions at Townley have also improved from a company standpoint His state ment with regard to the organizer also runs counter to that of gentlemen who declare that the Coal Valley workers themselves declined to listen to the or ganiZer.
 Mr Kennamer declares that twenty nine mines all-told have signed some kind of agreement with the union miners and that eight to ten of these agreements carry full recognition of the union.
 Mir Kennamer reaffirms the point at issue. The union wishes opportunity te have union man act with the mine man. ager in the choice of an umpire in the settlement of disputes. while the opera tors insist that this would be violative of the open shop and demand that .hs umpire be chosen by the manager and the mine committee.

CITY PROTESTING
 POPULATION COUNT BY CENSUS BUREAU
Commissioners Pass Res0- lutions Unanimously Stat ing Birmingham Has
 Been Done Injustice

Birmingham has been done a grave injustice in the count of the population of the city, IS the opinion of the entire board of city commissioners who have adopted a resolution calling for a new count of the inhabi- tants of the Magic City.
 At the regular 10 o'clock session of the board of city commissioners yesterday morning, every one of the five commis- sIoners expressed himself as believ- ing that Birmingham had at least ooo.oS people within it's gates
 Commissioner John R. Hornady kept rubbing his eyes and shaking his head all during the first part of the commis- sion meeting. Every few minutes he would look at a paper in his hand containing the figures as given out by the census department to the effect that there were orly 17S,z70 people in Birmingham.
 Commissioner Hornady seemed as if he as unable to stand it any longer. He read to the DOdTO Ol city COiflillSSlODcfo . a resolution that he had prepared call ing for recount of the population of the city.
 The resolution is as follows:
 Whereas, the government estimate of the. population of the city of Birming- ham is only 17S,270. and, whereas, these figures are obviously inaccurate, and if not corrected will cause great and ire parable injury to this city during the ten ,11 x.ytll e-tn ha
 Resolved, That the commissioners Of the city of Birmingham hereby call upon the census department of the gov- ernment to take such steps as arc nec- essary to insure an accurate showing of the population of this city. and that we call upon the civic and the commer- cial bodies of Birmingham to appoint committees of three each to confer with the commission for the purpose of of the published figures; said meeting to be held at the call of the president of the commission.
 President N A. Barrett of the board of city commissioners is in receipt of a telegram which he read before the meet ing of the board yesterday morning.
 The telegram is as follows:
 Mayor N. A. Barrett, Birmingham. Ala.
 According to preliminary count, sub feet to correction, the population of Bir- mngham is ITS. Z0.
 "ROGERS, Director Census"
 Commissioner Hornady took the lead n the stand by the entire board Of city commissioners that the figures were in correct.
 Tt will affect the growth of Birming- ham for the next ten years" said MT. Hornady. Men looking for a fit loca- ton for their businesses and industrial plants always examine the census re- turns.
 They compare the amount of local patronage they think they can expect, and they also will compare the census figures of Birmingham with other big cities in the south. This census will be a big detriment to Birmingham and we should do all in our power to obtain a correct recount and rub out this error.

suitable" for loading coal be sent to coal mines exclusively. The only other service to which they may be put is loading with other material when en route back to mines
 There seems little doubt that the coal mines are benefitting by the new rule. Report of last weeks mine operations that had commenced coming into the. office of the mine statistician yester~ day showed considerable improvement at number of mines. The large steam coal producters are making an espec- ially good showing. Strikes at. the mer- chant mines producing domestic coal still seriously interfere with their op- rationS.
