MORE COAL MINERS STRIKE
AMONG WEST VIRGINIA MINES.
Most of the states Industries VIII
suffer-RaiIways Crippled-Miners
Quietly Quit-some March, Headed
by Bnnds-Wns Not IA sympathetic
strike-strikers Leaving.

Wheeling, w. Va, June S.-The
strike ordered by the United Mine
Workers Of America to take effect in
West Virginia was much more com
plete in some districts than expected
and less effective in others than ex-
pected. The complete reports are con-
fiicting but on the whole several thou
sand more men went out than was an
ticipated. The strike affects not only
the industries of this state, but also
the railways and river navigation. All
of the local railroads suffer.
AS a rule the miners quit work with
out much demonstration, but in some
places they were marching with bands
It was ascertained that the operators
in some places had secured many
armed guards in anticipation of pro-
tracted struggle, if not of violence. In
a few places the striking miners were
served with notices to vacate the
houses belonging to the coal com
panies.
While the strike in this state is gen
orally regarded as sympathetic with
that in Pennsylvania, there is gen
eral impression that the bituminous
coal interests of other states have had
their influence in bringing on a crisis
in West Virginia. There is strong
organization of miners in this state
Independent of the United Mine Work
ers of America, and the members of
this state union have continued work
when the United Mine Workers have
ordered strikes in bordering states and
in Indiana, Illinois and other states.
It is currently reported throughout
West Virginia that the bituminous OPP
orators of other states had refused to
pay the national scale unless the Unit
ed Mine Workers control the mines of
West Virginia, and many believe the
present struggle is maintenance of au-
thority Of United Mine Workers in
states other than West Virginia..
While there were various reports of
violence during the day, they were not
confirmed by late advices, but officials
in the district are apprehensive of
serious trouble in the future.

In West Virginia Districts.

Bluefelds, w. Va, June S.-About
60 per cent of the miners in the Flat
Top fields went out.
Coopers, W. Va, June S.-Five humid
red or more miners passed through
here from the Flat Top fields. They
are going west and say they will not
return.
Harlesyon, W. Va, June Slightly
FIVE per cent of the miners in the
Kanawha coal fields laid down their
picks and went on strike in obedience
to the order issued by the Huntington
convention. No violence is reported
from any place in the district.
Clarksburg, w. Va June S.-Re-
ports from all mines in this section
show that less than 200 miners went
on strike. This is about 25 per cent
of the total number employed in this
field

Interests Hard Coal Miners.

Wilkecbarre, Pa, June S.-There
was absolutely no change in the an
thracite coal miners strike. which has
rounded its fourth week. Here and
there men who were on their way to
or from work were assaulted, but none
of them was seriously hurt.
Much interest is manifested in the
strike of the West Virginia soft coal
miners, which began yesterday. The
anthracite mine workers hope the
strike in that state will eventually
have some good effect on their own
struggle. President Mitchell had moth
ing to give out regarding the West Vir-
ginia trouble. He said he had received
only meager information from there.

CAPT. LUCAS EXPLAINS
Ex-Auditor of Iowa Writes of
His Troubles at South Da-
kota Soldiers Home
Whole Scandal and Public Investiga-
ton Arose Over Dispute as to What
Should Be Done With $153-Leftl by
An Old Veteran With instructions as
to Its Disposal.

Special to Times publican.
Des Moines, Nov. 10.-Capt. w. V.
Lucas, commandant of the South Da-
kota soldiers home in Hot Springs, for
merly state auditor of Iowa and well
known among the old soldiers as an
Iowa veteran with a good record, has
to set himself right in the matter of the
accusations made against him in con-
neetion with the management of the
soldiers home which resulted in a for
NAL inves tigation being made by the
soldiers home board. Charges were
filed against Capt. Lucas that he had
not turned over certain funds belonging
to the estate of one Of the members of
the home, and that when the inveStiga-
ton was made that he flew into a rage
and was nearly Frustrated with anger.
He recently attended a reunion of his
old Iowa regiment at AnamoSa in this
state and as some information of the
troubles which had come upon him in
South Dakota had crept into the Iowa
papers, he wrote from Hot Springs a
plain statement of the case. He de-
clares that he is well physically and
mentally, and that the public investi-
cation will be made Nov. IL. He says:
This whole malicious and slanderous
story is the work of pop member of
the board of managers of this home.
He put himself in position to answer in
i ,o11 11{,
myself and the author of these sensa-
tional and slanderouS reports is as who
shall have $153 left by a man who died
in the home. When he came to the
home he gave as his nearest relatives
three brothers and their address as
Greenville, Pa. One of which he said
he had not heard from in fourteen
years. About two weeks before his
death I addressed a letter to the three
brothers jointly informing them of his
probable death at an early date. The
day after his death the letter was re-
turned stamped, Not called for, adj
dress unknown" A few weeks after
wards / learned that one brother lived
in Michigan, the others | have never
heard from. Upon consideration and
in accordance with the provisions Of the
law in this slate, was clearly OF the
opinion that should not send all the
money to one heir, and decided to hold
the money for instructions from the
board of managers. At the January
I reported the money in my
charge, but no action was taken. At
the following June meeting l reported
the case and asked for specific instruc-
tons By a. resolution passed
I was instructed to hold the

judgment under which he levied is
not forthcoming. will be closed up and

company claim that the plant has been
sold to the city, but Sheriff Hook is de-
termined to get his money on the exc
cution, amounting to only about s1,400,
and says the plant will be closed up If
not paid. The judgment was rendered
against the company in the Jasper
county district court in favor of a guest

bath, was severely injured by the shock
received from one of the company's
