sician's orders being that he must not
be worried with affairs of state and
that he must have absolute quiet for

and the enactment of the municipal
code has undeniably> had an adverse
effect upon his health, and as his
physical condition has not been that
Of a well man for several years, 1t is
imperative that he takes plenty Of rest
and avoid worry and hard work.

Columbus, Feb. 1.-THE United
Mine Workers of America propose to
throw all their resources into Yves;
Virginia this year in an attempt to
unionize all the workers. The organ
izers of the union made considerable
headway in the state last year. but it
did not attain the degree of success
anticipated. The prospects of success
during the coming year are believed to
be brighter. The operators are not
acting in unison and it is thought their
resistance can be overcome. The new
Cumberland district which is under
immediate jurisdiction of the Ohio
branch of the organization is regarded
as one Of the most formidable PROPOSE
tions confronting the union. The op-
orators refuse to recognize the union
and were instrumental in getting out
iniunctions against the miners in re-
cent troubles. The executive commit
tee of the Ohio workers will meet
with the sub-district conventions and
take action relative to the West Vir-
GINA situation and also on the ques-
ton Of scale for the Jackson dis
trict in Ohio.
