THE WEST VIRGINIA SITUATION

The United States is doing we'll to

in the West Virginia coal fields. The
conditions which have prevailed there

engaged in it that there is full war;

to all the facts by the congress of the
United States. The statements which

bility for the conditions vary greatly.
Members Of the groups of striking
miners assert that the fault is with
the operators. and the latter reply
that they have done no more than
attempt to protect their property and
the lives OF their employees. From
outside both groups come statements
Of the gravest character to the effect

A motorist tells this one on himself.
Trying u a new car on the road be-
tween Cedar Grove and Great Notch
he stopped to pick up an old farmer
who looked as if he might like a ride

experience in an automobile. The ma
chine was hitting a pretty good clip
when it skidded on a soft p o and
ran into a tree. Nobody was hurt. but
as the ruralite picked himself up he
said to the motorist:

to ask you. How do you stop one Of
