CONSOLIDATION OF
 PHONE DISTRICTS
Nearby Towns Will Hereafter Report to Birmingham Dis
 triot Manager

Effective April 1, the Birmingham suburban district of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph com pany was consolidated with the Bir- minsham district. which comprised Birmingham proper and Bessemer.
 The groups merged with the Bir- mingham district are the Admission group; Jasper group. Gadsdei group, Tuscaloosa group and seven other ex- changes which reported directly 10 the suburban districts manager.
 The new district will be under the direct supervision of Col. Walter. F.. Bare, IS district manager. c. Mo Eachen. formerly suburban district manager, has been assigned to spc- cial work which will keep him in this district for several months. Mac" as he is known to his hun dreds of friends in Birmingham and the surrounding territory, made an enviable record in handling tho af- fairs of the suburban district by bis constant application to his duties and his pleasing personality.
 The consolidation of the Birminp- ham and Birmingham suburban dis trict, was brought about from the fact that all of the towns in this sec tion are more or less controlled by the same factor, and the work can better be handled when centralized under one executive head.
 Colonel Bare, since assuming charge as manager of the Birming- ham district, has made such a fav- orable impression that it is regarded as especially appropriate that he should be placed in charge of the newly consolidated district.

NO WALK-OUTS AT
 ALABAMA MINES
Coal Strike a Cipher So Far as This State Is
 Concerned

April came and went without slightest flutter in the Alabama coal mining fields.
 Neither union nor non-union mine had walk -out and there was not even rumor of one.
 Union headquarters in the Farley building had nothing to say" Not word could be gotten there. No claims are made. No local strike order seems to have been issued.
 Neither coal operators nor union mine headquarters reported riffle anywhere. Reports that men were at work in every mine were uncontr1- dicted
 There is no apparent intention of support of Alabama miners in case they walk out on the part of the in- ternational union at this time
 Production has reached 290, 900 tons and Is apparently headed to greater production. Even though the small number of union miners walked out, the operators say the non-union mines would produce more coal than ever because demand would enable moro working days at non-union mines.
 So far the strike has passed over the Alabama field without touching il. None on either side denies that.
