OPERATORS REFUSE
GLASSCOCK's PLAN
THE HOPE OF SETTLING THE
WEST VIRGINIA COAL STRIKE
HAS DIMINISHED.
THE SITUATION is THE SAME
The Governor Issued Call For Meeting
in the Near Future of Representa-
tive Business Organizations and
Others From All over the State.

Charleston, w. Va.-Hopes of set
tling the strike in the Kanawha coal
fields of West Virginia diminished
when the coal operators refused to ac-
cept Governor Glasscock's plan OF ar
bitration jointly offered to the opera
tors and miners. The plan was agree
able to the miners.
The Governors plan was believed
to be a solution of the trouble. The
operators, however, refused to accept
1t as such on the ground that all men,
both union and non-union would not
abide by the decision.
The mine situation is the same as
has prevailed for some time.
Governor Glasscock, disappointed
with his efforts to bring about So
luton. has issued a call for meet
ing in the near future which is ex-
pected to bring to Charleston repres-
entatives of business organizations
throughout West Virginia, coal opera
tors and miners.
Five witnesses testified before the
mine investigating committee. One
of them, Mrs. Birdie Perry, who lived
in tent at Holleys Grove, said:
Mine guards fired several volleys
through my tent. l had a baby In
my arms but fortunately neither was
harmed"
Workman alleged that the collec-
ton of fines through the company
was general in the Kanawha district.
The reply of the coal operators to
the Governor set out various reasons
why they cannot agree to arbitrate,
principally that the only question be-
tween the operators and miners was
recognition of the union. That is the
matter the operators, it is said, con-
tend they cannot arbitrate.

After Officers Are Elected and
Other Business Finished.

session on the Isle OF Palms the

the Improved Order Of Red Men COM
pleted its business. During the fore
noon the Daughters of Pocahontas
were given an excursion by steam
boat about the harbor and up the
Cooper river as guests OF the chamber
of commerce. The principal social
feature, however, was the fish fry at
the Isle Of Palms, the great seine
being drawn and generaus catch
being made. While most OF the vis-
itors stayed over for a day or two.
scores of them departed. the Clyde

governor criticised Charleston for, the
alleged, allowing politics to interfer
with entainment of the Red Men and
Daughters Of Pocahontas.
The weather OF the last day was an
improvement.
Washington, D. c., was chosen by
the Great Council for the place OF the

HAVE DISMISSED MASSEY
The Lancaster Confederate Veteran
10 no Longer at the South Carolina
Confederate Home.

Columbia.-That Veteran Samuei
Massey has been dismissed from the
Confederate Home was admitted by
Maj. H. W. Richardson, the chairman
and treasurer of the board of commits
sioners. Charges Of maltreating one Of
his comrades, Thomas Whittle, hitt-
ing him over the head with a chair,
resulted In the trial OF Veteran Mas
sey by the board September 9Th and
7th and the outcome is the final dis
missal of Mr.. Massey.
Mr.. Massey and the Confederate
Home have been in the public print
for some weeks. The matter first
started with the alleged charges that
Major Richardson was attempting to
influence the old soldiers to vote for
Governor Blease, followed closely by
the board suspending Massey for 80
days on the charge of being disor-
derly on the premises. A temporary
restraining order preventing this
from being carried into effect was
granted by Judge Gary on application
OF Attorney John ]. McMahan for
Massey Therefore Massey again took
up his abode at the home.
Then came the charge that Mas
sey hit one OF his comrades, Thomas
Whittle, over the head with chair,
and the case was considered by the
board on September 9Th and 7th. At
that time Major Richardson declined
to give out anything for publication.
However he admitted that Massey
had been permanently dismissed from
the home.
Veteran Massey is from Lancaster
county and was an ardent supporter
Of Judge Jones. Major Richardson
and the members of the board Of
commissioners OF the home are strong
supporters of Governor Blease.

north of Lake Forest, squall struck
the boat, the sails were lowered and
an anchor was thrown out. Meagus,

ride out to the storm but the waves
were running so high that the boat
dragged it's anchor and gradually was
being driven onto the beach. When
within 200 feet of the shore the cut
ter overturned and its occupants were
thrown into the water.

OF the naval training station, saw the
danger of the apprentices from his
Headquarters and sent motorboat TO

men in charge Of 1t were obliged to
swim back to the shore.
Later a force of rescuers were sent
along the shore to where the cutter
had been wrecked Many Of the boys
swan to land and others foated
ashore on oars and pieces OF wreck
age. A number were rescued from
the surf by officers Of the training
station and cared for at houses near
