cials Advise Ending of the Strike.
BLUEFIELD, w. VA, Sept. 6.--The
strike is off. A meeting was held at
Keystone this and the question
was discussed.
For long time there has, practi
cally speaking, been no strike. The
eollieries were all loading coal with
forces of men made up of former
strikers and non union men recently
come to the field. When the out
breaks on Crane creek and Simmons
creek came, great many, nearly all
in TACT, of the non uion men left, and
now their places can be filled by the
old men.
In the meeting at Keystone today
Organizers Fairly, Nugent and Davis
and other strike leaders were in con
ference with Adjutant General Bak
er, Mr.. Wilton, the governors rep
resentative, and others. The situa
ton was discussed and the leaders
decided to declare the strike of.
STEPS TO NOTIFY.
Immediate steps were taken to
| notify the various camps where the
miners have been taken care of BY
| the union. Some of the men are
said to be pleased with the action
| while others are sore over it. 1t
may be that the men who do not
want to work, but wish to continue
feeding at the unions expense, may
yet stir up some trouble. The band
that the strikers had. at Mt. Tabor
played some lively tunes when the
news was received.
The strike began Saturday, June
7th, and for several days there was
quite a tie up. Knowing that If they
could mine coal it would weaken the
strikers position, the mine manag
ment of an Executive committee for
the District, and in which you re
quested us to take a selection of a
member of this Committee from
each of the Counties in the Congress
sional District. Conforming to the
request contained in your letter, we
have met, going over the question
as thoroughly as we could, and beg
to advise you that we have selected
as an executive committee the fol
lowing named gentlemen from their
res pectiye counties.
For the county of Barbour-Lloyd
| Robinson.
For Berkley-Hon. Stewart w.
Walker
For Grant, N. McMullen.
For Hampshire-George Ii. John
son.
For Hardy-Arthur Cunningham.
For Mineral-W William Mcdonald.

| For Pendleton--Dr. f. Moomau.
For Preston-W. G. Brown
Nor Randolph-Humboldt Yok
um.
For Tucker-W William M. Cayton.
For Taylor-A. j. Wilkinson.
We have gone over the subject as
carefully as we could with the time
and opportunity, considered, and
hope that the selections above nam
ed will be satisfactory to the Demo

REAPER GATHERS FoNTAIN SMITH
One of West Yirginia's Pioneer Demo.
crats-Died of Old Age.

FAIRMoNT, w. Va. Sept. Hon.
Fountain Smith, one of the States
most prominent lawyers and one of
this county's most popular citizens,
died very suddenly at Pennington,
this county, Thursday night, his
death being due to old age For about
fifty years he has been resident OF
this city, where he was born in the
year 1922. He was married in 1S49 TO
Miss Elizabeth Burriss, of Caroline
county, Virginia. His wife preceded
him 10 death several years ago. Two
children survive, one of whom is
General G. L. Smith, of this city.
Hon. Fontain Smith served this dis
trict in the State Senate years
ago, also in the house of delegates.
Various times he declined having his
name used in the Democratic con-
gressional convention for that honor
from this district. He was also a
member of the constitutional conven-
tion that made the State of West Vir-
ginia. He was perhaps the Oldest
resident of this city. All the funeral
arrangements have not yet been COM
pleted but more than likely his re-
mains will be taken to his former
home In Virginia. Funeral services
will be held in Fairmont sunday after
noon at 2:30.

The farm CT cannot but see that injury to American millers means injury to American wheat-growers. He will not hesitate to condemn protective" duty which, in stead of protecting, places him at a tremendous and steadily in creasing disadvantage.

A NEW DANG ER OF PROTECTION.

Mir. William C. Edgar, editor of,the Northwestern Miller, in an article entitled "The Miller's S Evil Genius, , points out with vivid emphasis a new danger from. ill-advised protection, which now menaces one of the greatest industries of this coun- try.
 The ''protective' duty of 25 cents bushel on wheat is the object of Mr. Edgar's justified attack. He makes clear the truth that this duty, imposed simply to tickle and delude American farmers while confer ring no real benefit upon them, is in reality threatening the great hour-milling industry of the great Northwest by creating a Canadian competition which would not develop save for the imposition of the duty in ques- ton.
 The vast stretch of Canadian country west and northwest of Winnipeg, MT. Edgar points out, IS rapidly becoming the greatest wheat producer of the continent. Three railroads centering at Minneapolis traverse this region and afford every facility to ena- ble the farmers to send their product to that great milling metropolis-their nearest mar ket. This Canadian wheat is of high value to American millers. for the reason that, mixed with American varieties, 1t produces the finest flour and insures American control of European markets. The supply of Ameri- can wheat, already inadequate to the milling capacity, IS des- tined to diminish in the near flu ture as the West becomes more thickly settled and diversified farming supplants wheat-grow- ing. But the duty of 25: cents on Canadian wheat utterly pro- hibits it's natural trade. Itcom- pels the Canadians to nanufac- ture their own product, thereby becoming dangerous competi- tors of the American millers.
 The situation titus pointed out fy Mir. Edgar, who speaks with
