 "Other things he tells us. and like timid frightened school children, we have seemingly listened, in awkward and embarrassed silence.
 Tt seems to me that the time has at last come when the sober-thinking cit- izenship of this district and the state at large should begin to realize that their governor, their government, and their laws by local and alien repre- sentatives of an alien organization, have heen and are being ruthlessy criticised and attacked
 Tt seems to me that the time has come when plain statements based on plain facts. making clear the genesis, progress and development of this strike should be fairly, calmly and intelligenty consid- cred and that a conclusion should be reached which would definitely and final iy fix the responsibility for the unfortu- nate situation which now confronts us.
 PEACE FOR YEARS
 'iFor number of years the coal min ing districts of Alabama have been free from strikes and disturbances, and min CTS and mine owners have worked to- gether in harmony and goodwill. Wages have been satisfactory, and a constant and progressive betterment in all living conditions has been the rule rather than the exception.
 Led by the Tennessee company, whose activities are directed by a president who has always broadly and ably stood for human as we'll as business development, the mining companies as whole have endeavored to follow his lead.
 Tn the past efforts have been made by the United Mine Workers of America to unionize this district and each ef- fort was attended by disruption of busi- ness, destruction of property and the splling of blood
 "It is a fact not generally known that of a total of about 25,00o miners here, nearly 70 per cent are negroes, most of

JUDGE WANTS ID
 LOOK THEM OVER No More Appearing In Police Court With Fine for an
 Absentee

Maybe some day employers of chauffuers will learn that when a driver is arrested for a violation of the traffic ordinance, that driver must appear in this court, and cannot te substituted by his employer"
 This statement was made yesterday by Judge Henry J. Martin in police court, who said that it seemed 10 be a practice with some employers to think that it was unnecessary for the arrested party to make appearance.
 These employers come up lere often" the judge said, and think that all they have to do is to plead guilty for their driver, and that I'll just pass a fines and let it go at that.
 An arrested driver must appear Tn court Some day I'm going to ask ono of these gentlemen if he would be willing to substitute for his chauffeur if I decided he should spend day or two in jail."

The Steel Corporation had never gone above s3S, but the merchant iron trade had been on a base of $40 and then SAP all during 1920 until the turn came.
 Two weeks ngo tkc market went

Two lots of 1000 tons each have been sold and numerous smaller lots. The business repre- sents wide range of territory.
 THE NEW BASE
 Speaking of the new base one of the best-informed iron masters said:
 There was not a particle of use in sticking to $35 when our competitors were selling at $30 base. I am as much of an optimist as anyone, but, when I realized that business could not be done above $30, came to it.
 All who sell iron now will do the same. We certainly cannot invade Chi cago territory with $35 iron and more than $6 added for freight while fur
