CARR, Secretary Window Glass 3 Glass _fi!’ Every Headlight Glass | Dtsciples of Christ Report Big desperately protested,” he added. Mr. Gompers declared the basic facts, which, he charged, had not been truthtully presented, were as follows: Autocracy’s Last Refuge. “The mines of West Virginia con- stitute the last refuge of autocracy in the mining industry. In these mines an unrestrained, unlimited greed dominates absolutely. Absen- jtee owners hold immense tracts of rich mining land, demanding only dividends. “The appetite of this private greed is upheld by a private army of kill- ers the like of which no longer ex- ists in any other state. This private army is paid by the mine owners and naturally seeks to justify its pres- ence by making “business” for itself in the form of trouble. The Baldwin- Felts detective agency recruits this army, but the mine owners pay the bill. Deputy sheriffs, paid by mine owners, form another wing of the private army, equally dangerous. Defled Commission’s Orders. “The present strike is & direct pro- test” against the actlon of the mine owners of West Virginia in refusing to abide by the award of the United States coal commission. 1If the United States government at this time de- fends the mine owners and does not destroy thelr private armies the gov- ernment is in the position of sustain- ing a deflance of an order issued by its own authority. “The state government of West Vir- ginia has broken down, not because the miners have protested against lawlessness, but because it has failed to stop the mine owners from enfore- i;‘gndl::{ull zrilvaze business at the private id directed g’unmen.'Y'pa Sadieivataly Wage Award Ignored. Mr. Gompers reviewed the incidents leading up to the present situation, beginning with the wage award of the federal bituminous commission in March, 1920, and describing the “re- fusal of the coal operators of Mingo county to apply the award,” which eventually, he related, ended in the miners “flocking into the union” and being discharged and “served with eviction notices.” “The United States government,” he said in conclusion, “can do a great service by destroying government by gunmen, by restoring civil govern- ment uncorrupted by coal mine auto- cracy and by giving to the miners an opportunity to secure justice and to be free from persecution in enjoying their constitutional rights.” MANY CHANGES MADE IN PRINTING OFFICE Appointments, Separations and Transfers Reported for Past Week.

Bandholtz’s announcement fol- lows: “I am satisfled the miners will not obey the President’s proclamation. I have dispatched a telegram to Wash- ington requesting that federal troops ‘ha sent into, West Virginia immediat. Gen. Bandholtz's decision was reach- ed after he had listened to a report made by Col. Stanley H. Ford and Maj. C. H. Thompson, who late last night returned from a trip along the Boone-Logan county line. Gov. Morgan was in conference with Gen. Bandholtz shortly before the an- nouncement was made that federal aid had been recommended. The governor’s only comment, when informed of Gen. Bandholts’s de- tision, wa: “I have nothing to say: I am through,” Gen. Bandholts, when questioned as to when the President’s proclamation of martial law would be promulgated, replied that he could not state the exact hour, but expressed the view that it would be promulgated im- mediately after receipt of his tele- gram at the War Department. The general added that he assumed ma. tial law would be effective in Kan: wha, Boone, Fayette, Logan ani Mingo countfes. Sent After Second Appeal. Following an appeal for federal aid made by Gov. Morgan last Tuesday, and President Harding’s subsequent proclamation commanding “all per- sons engaged in unlawful and fi rectionary proceedings dfperse or at noon September 1, Gen.

It was also given out at the gover- nor's office that between sixty-five and seventy-five automobiles and trucks with miners and ammunition were reported to have gone up Lens creek toward Boone county last night and early today.
