The Strike In west Virginia.

-
Wheeling, Sept. 1.-State Labor Com
missioner Isaac Barton, of Wheeling,
has just returned after an extended
trip through the coal fields of the state.
He was detailed for this work by Gov
ernor Atkinson, who was anxious to
know the exact situation, without the
discoForation of either striker or opsr-
ator. The commissioner spent eight
days in his investigation, covering the
Fairmont, New River and Kanawha
fields. OF the $4,000 miners of the state
he finds that 10000 are idle. OF these
4.ooe are New River men and 1000 Kan
awha miners. In both regions the sus-
pension is practically complete, fully
SIS per cent of the miners being on
strike. The only field in the state where
the strike is not becoming effective is
at Fairmont.

sat at the Levy Court room at the Court
House this morning to receive certiflca %

ance with the Adams tax law passed BY
the Legislature. The bill has been giving
considerable trouble since 1t was passed on
account of q liberalization among com.
panies to prevent the law going into effect.
But the trouble Is not general. many

The certificates received by the assessors
bore oaths taken before notaries. This
raised the question in the mind Of Mr..
Whann as TO whether tho oath should be
taken before the assessor or notary. Ac-
coruingly John A Rodney was consulted.
Mr. Iot hn
