At least GOO.000 men -liXknon (,r them non-union miners were expect ed by the union to be in the walkout, which was to continue indefinitely in an effort to force the operators to an increase of wages. Few scattered reports indicate that operators who operated their mines i'n the closed shop principle planned to keen (heir mines at work. For the first time in the coal industry, union officials paid, both bituminous and anthracite fields were tied up.

Florence, Ala., M'aivh .11.---With the interest ot the nation fixed for months on Muscle Shoals, an influx cf peopie to the district has constitut ed a problem that has taxed the in genuity of town and civic: authorities. Agitation of the potential strength oi me- ouuui s lagura anu.inc pos- J i. 4- I IT J !. ... T. - -1 .1 j 1 si'oilities that were expected to be speedily .fulfilled in event ot . devel opment of the latent war project, burned a veritable strears of huroan ity in search of the El Dorado. Folks canto on foot, in horse carts, in jnotor ears, in dav coaches and m nalatial ctay coa I rawing, rooms. There were . men E. Zienjwith money seeking investments; iitn in overalls 'hunting work. There weie adventurer's looking for any tleng they might find. Some spent money lavishly j others were .wards of the community and had to be fed. The problem at once became so grave that the town authorities of Florence, Sheffield and Tuscum;bia municipalities composing- the dis trict's "tri-cities" sent out a warning Stay away fron. Muscle Shoals un less you come on legitimate business and have an engagement in advance." This stopped seme of the fortune hunters, but yet they came. The first offei"j.f;r the government's property cause complete metamor phosis of the district. The commu nity was stunned when war work was stepped the day the armistice was signed. Putting machinery in 'stand-by'' condition was a symbol of dissipated hopes. But the res ultant somnolent condition was re awakened overnight when the word went forth: "Muscle Shoals is to be developed." Everybody in the dis trict believed that a bid meant other bids and that competitors in the tick! would -result in aekno w kdge-Tnent by the government that Muscle Shoals diould not be scrapped. The people of the district formed Ibe policy of extending a welcoming band to builders and the real estate boards of the three cities declared that realty prices should not ascend be-" yond u'neasonable levels. These boards, it is stated, have largely con trolled prices of real estate. A few speculators edged in, however, and small tracts of. undesirable land have been optioned and sold at figures not within bounds set by the realty associations. It is asserted, though that actual cheating and faking has trapped but few people, There are no swamps or low lands in the region the realtors declare, but some of the property otlered is situated mar:; miles from the Tennessee river and the nitrate projects. Much property is said to have .hanged hands over a stretch oft ter- ilory along the river for a distance of twenty-five miles. The state of Michigan, it is said, has furnished more buyers than all the other states combined, with the possible exception of Alabama. Town lots have been sold at from a few hundred dollars to 170,000. Farm lang contignous to the town has brought from $50 to $125 an acre. Many of these near-by farm tracts have been op tioned or purchased with a view of subdividing in event of looked for de velopments. Authorities of the tri-cities say the three, municipalities will constitute the bub from which will radiate one of the industrial miracles of the age, no matter who the successful bidder may be for the government prop erty. Extravagant stories circulated con cerning conditions in the district brought out "The Muscle Shoals Book," indorsed by town and civic organizations and edited by one of the community's leading, ministers. It sets forth authentic data for "those who have the vision and cour age to build themselves into the certain development of the Muscle Shoals territory." The municipal woodpile at Sheff ield has afforded scores of adventur ers the opportunity of a square meal. So burdensome became the task of feeding the jobless that the town in cooperation with the Red Cross hit upon the no-work-no-soup plan and it worked. Every man who want ed food and. shelter shopped wood. As a result many householders burn ed wood and scores of hungry men were fed. The new population furnished work for the police. Sharks and flim flaminers came with the honest folks the authorities said. By a process of elimination these undesirables were weeded out slowly. Town authorities have prevented overcharging on the partof the ho tels and shop keepers, and visitors nre surprised by normal price con ditions. MR.

Aninis Wilton j McLean of Lmnberton will not re ceive the Democratic nomination fo" governor in B?-ji without a bitten fight and anti-McLean men are al ready busy shelling the woods for one or more candidates to offer them selves for the "highest honor' i.n the gift of the people of the state. In presenting the name cf Dr. J. Y. Joyner of LaGrange, former su perintendent of public instruction, tin anti-McLean men are doing nothing more than playing good politics, sc- fiicnds of Dr- Joyner here think. They do not incline to the belief that Dr. Joyner will get actively into the i fight for the governorship, but they hope that -the suggestion will bring out one or more Eastern candidates who will make the kind of ia.ee nec essary to defeat the Lumberton man. While there has been no definite an nouncement it is generally :"'nitte4 (hat. Josiah William Bailey will an noun.ee nis candidacy "at the proper time." Mr. Bailey is a strong friend of Mr. McLean and has been aligned with the Simmons organizat'on in years past but his friends here as sert that he will not let this keep him out of the race in 12)2-1. Judge John Kerr of War ronton is consider ed an active candidate now but wheth er he will stay "in"' for the finish is another question.
