Virginia Makes Statement
Regarding Conditions.

Charleston. w. Va. April 15.-Gov-
ernor Henry d. Hatfield, who on April
declared he would make recom-
mendations which he hoped would be
the means Of ending the strike of the
coal miners in the Paint and Cabin
creek sections of Kanawha county, last
night issued statement. The execu-
tive not only makes recommendation
but reviews the conditions in the strike
territory and declares the "annaual
wage paid throughout West Virginia
exceeds by $43.40 the wage paid the
miners in any Of the union states, ac-
cording to statistics obtained.
In referring to the guard SYSTEM"
the governor said:
There is no question that the min
ers have been imposed upon and mis-
treated by the guard system that ex-
listed at one time or another through
out the strike zone."
"It is not to be Denied" he adds,
"that mistreatment has been accorded
by union to nOnunion miners within
and without the immediate strike
zone"
The governor goes into detail re.
garding the recent battle at Mucklow
between the miners and guards of the
Paint Greek Galleries company. He
denies that sixteen men were killed
and says that bookkeeper and mine
RuaTu were the only per6On6 VINO lOSt
their lives.
The recommendations of the cover.
nor follow:
First. that the operators concede to
the miners the right to select a check
weighman from among their number
when a majority demands 1t.
Second. that Il nine-hour work day
he conceded to the miners and opera
tors. In defining nine-hour work
day. the governor declares that 1t
''means nine hours Of actual service
by the employe to the employer at the
same scale Of wages now paid.
Third. that no discrimination be
made against any miner, and IL he
elects. he may purchase the supplies
for the maintenance of his family
wherever 1t suits him best.
Fourth. that the operators grant q
semi monthly pay.
In conclusion. the governor asks
that the miners return to work IL the
operators accede to the requests he
has made. II the operators make the
concessions. he declares that he will
"usc all the means at my command
to see that each and every proposition
90 acceded to Is carried out in its full
ness, and I will further endeavor. in
such cases where the law is not now
explicit. to have the same so amend
cd al will secure in the future the car

made"

BRYCE MAKES REPORT.
London. April 15.-The report
sent by James Bryce. the British
ambassador. on the result Of the
recent conversation with Presi.
dent Wilson fOreshadOWs. IL Is un.
Of the controversy between the
countries regarding the Panama
canal tolls.
Washington. April 15.-While
President Wilson never expressed
himself publicly on the question of the
Panama canal tolls, he informally in
dicated to friends that he believes in
an Interpretation Of the treaty, which
will make 1t improper for the United
States to exempt its vessels in coast
wise traffic from paying tolls. 1t is
also understood that he takes the po-
sition that exemption, as now propos-
ed, is in the effect of subsidy and he
always has been opposed to subsidies.
The report that the president inti-
settlement of the question will be Ia
vorable to Great Britain, Is credited
generally in official circles because Of
Wilson'S personal friendship for the
retiring ambassador, which accounts
for their intimate conversation on this
point just before Bryce's departure.
Wilson the Arbiter.
Washington, April 15.-President
Wilson will be the arbiter of the Pam
anna canal tolls controversy. II the
president decides to end the whole
dispute by securing the adoption OF
the amendment of Senator Root to
strike the exemption out of the canal
act, 1t is expected that he can muster
the votes to put it through both
houses.
Senator O'Gorman of New York,
chairman of the senate committee on
interoceanic canals. which will con-
slider this resolution. is most emphati-
cally in favor of the exemption, and
holds 1t Is strictly in accord with the
Baltimore platform. The majority OF
the senate committee Is in favor of the
existing act, but tip from the white
house that President, Wilson wants the
exemption stricken out may change
the lineup.
Sims Would Amend Act.
In the house the majority of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce are opposed to free passage
for American coastwise ships. Rep
resentative Adamson, chairman of the
committee, fought the amendment on
the floor, and Representative Thetus
w. Sims of Tennessee has introduced
a bill to strike the exemption from
the canal act. They will vigirousl,
support the president If he decides
that the canal act violates our treaty
obligations.
