0'NEAL ID ADDRESS
 UNIVERSITY MEN Governor Will Go to Tusca- loosa Monday-Assembly
 Holds First Meeting

University. September 14-(special) The university assembly held its first meeting of the present session this morning in the Morgan hall auditorium. Rev. l.. O. Dawson of the First Bap- tist church of Tuscaloosa opened the exercises with scripture reading and prayer. President Denny then made the principal address, in which he de- scribed the chief characteristics of the average college student and the temp tations and tendencies causing them to deviate from the paths of duty.
 Dr. Denny said the two predominant ing temptations to be guarded against were, waste of time and waste of money. These two evils run hand in hand and to guard against the first was protection from the second. He closed by paying compliment to last years student body in the way in which they stood back of him and asked and hoped that this years stu dents would follow in the same way
 Senator Frank S. Moody followed with a few remarks in which he urged that every student take active interest and regularly attend their church and Sunday school.
 The assembly inaugurated last spring by Rev Denny and has proven very successful. All classes are excused and all students are requested to attend. The next meeting will be held Mon- day morning, with an address to the students by Governor O'Neal.

GLASSCOCK WILL GET ANSWER TOMORROW
Although Pay Day in Coal Fields No Serious Trouble
 Is Reported

Charleston, w. Va. September 14.- night notified Governor Glasscock that they will deliver to him their answer at noon Monday as to whether they will accept the proposition presented to them by him today to bring about the settlement of the strike In the Kanawha coal fields by means of ar bitration,
 Although this was pay day in the coal fields, no serious trouble had been reported up to a late hour.
 The proposition presented to the miners and operators by the governor in brief. Is as follows
 The men shall return to work at once upon the same terms that ex- isted when they went on strike; the guard system shall be abandoned and all guns shall be turned over to Ad- jutant General Elliott, who will give a receipt therefor The operators and miners are to select an arbitrator to represent each side and the two named by them shall select a third. If the two fail to agree the third Is to be chosen by the governor of an adjoin- ing state or by the Secretary of Labor and Commerce.
 Outposts of the militiamen were fired upon today at Holey in the heart of the territory under martial law due to the strike. The pickets replied For time the exchange of shots was brisk A search of the wooded hillside, from which the shots came, showed no evil dence that the bullets had taken ef- feet. Two companies of guardsmen were ordered to the place. Military of- ficials are of opinion that the zone un- der martial law will be extended to include the countryside north of the Kanawha river.
