FOR HELP

The Monongah mines relief COM
mittee, which includes Gov. Daw-
son, of West Virginia. Mayor
Moore, OF Monongah; Mayor Ar

cular setting forth the horrors i'm
posed by the recent mine disaster
and appealing for aid to take care
of the widows and orphans left
penniless.
The proposition is too big for the
state to handle, and hasty action is
needed as the company in whose
service the miners met death Is
impatient to secure the houses that
now shelter the stricken families
for other families that can furnish
men and boys to dig out the mines
and resume production. The CON-
pany owns all the houses and is

Fully $50 widows and 1000 chill
dren are left without any means of
support. The most of these families
live in the company's houses at
Monongah, the remaining ones in
various countries Of Europe. The
company has generously declared
that the families occupying their
houses may remain until other pro-
vision is made for them, but opera
tons cannot be resumed at the
damaged mines until these houses
are available for the new force.
Many of the resident families will
want to return to their relatives In
their native countries in Europe.
The other resident families must
seek a community in which they
can earn a livelihood.
"As near as can be determined at
this time almost $4,000 from all
sources has been subscribed. Upon
the basis of $500 for each widow
and 500 for each child under 16
years of age, $175.000 will be re-

The committee feels that basis

HOW COLDFIELD MINERS LEADER

special Correspondence to The Press
GOLDFTELD, Dec. 27.-One of
the most dramatic incidents of the
miners strike took place when Gov.
Sparks, and Pres. McKinnon of the
miners union met in the Hotel
Casey.
There is a suspicion that the
meeting was arranged as the result
of scheme to force McKinnon
into insulting the governor For
moment 1t looked as though it
might end in gun play"
The two men happened to be,
standing near each other in the
hotel Office. One of the governors
adherents-a ma nheavily armed
called to McKinnon and said:
DO you know the governor? AL
low me to introduce Gov. Sparks"
The governor advanced toward
McKinnon. The latter, drawing
himself up to his full six feet.

blazing red.
The governor extended his hand,
McKinnon ignored it.

For moment there was an in
tense silence. Not a man in the
room was McKinnon's friend. They
were all supporters of the governor
and every man was armed.
The governor turned purple and
thrust his face close to McKinnon's.
81 don't know whether you
know me or not he said.
A man in the crowd, watching
the two, probably prevented Sc
rious ending of the incident by
calling out, well, let's all get a
drink"
McKinnon smiled and every
one turned to the bar. But Nc
Kinnon did not drink when the
governor and his friends did. He
let his glass stand on the bar
and narrowly watched his enemies.
The governor and his friends
took their drinks and turned away,

Sparks is the most disappointed
official in the country. He was the

1t is generally conceded that the

men hardened to the horrors of the

close to the roof of the tunnel
breaks into a flame. 1t is blue,

That the government has but two

That each one of these yards has
but one drydock.
That the drydock at the Mare ISL

That there is not a sufficient

That neither the Mare Island nor
