DANGER
Situation is Acute in the New River
Strike District.

Charleston, w. Va, August 2S.-The
troops ordered to the New river strike
district today by Governor White will
establish headquarters at Thurmond.
The situation is very acute. Sheriff
Daniel who is here today from Fayette
county, says he is powerless to repress
disorder, and property and life are in
constant danger.
Nearly everybody refuses to act as
deputy sheriffs to assist in the eviction
of striking miners and hence the sheriff
made a request for troops. Men con-
cealed along the mountain sides fire at
h guards and at the miners going to
work and hen disappear. Governor
White say he sends the troops to pro-
tect the life and property but not to
settle the strike. That he says, belongs
to h miners and operators. Great
danger is imminent in the New river
fields.
