HATFIELD HOPES
TO SETTLE STRIKE
Governor Makes Recommends
tons for Ending Trouble
in Coal Fields.

Charleston, W. Va, April l4--Gov-
crnor Hatfield, who on April = de-
clarcd he would make recommended
tons which he hoped would be the
means of ending the strike OF tho
coal miners in the Paint ana Cabin
Creek sections of Kanawha County. to-
night issued a statement in which nc
not only makes recommendations, but
reviews conditions in the strike terri
tory, and declares the annual wage
paid throughout West Virginia cX-
ceeds by si3.4o the wage paid the
miners in any OF tho States, accord
ing TO statistics obtained"
In referring To the guard system,
the Governor says:
There Is no question but that the
miners have been imposed upon and
mistreated by the guard system that
existed at one time or another
throughout the strike zone"
1T is not TO be denied he adds.
that mistrcatmcnt has been accorded
by union 10 nonunion miners within
and without the Immediate strike
zone
The Governor goes into detail re-
sarding the recent battle ut Mucklow
between the miners and guards denies
that sixteen men were killed and saws
that bookkeeper and a mine guard
were the only persons who lost their
lives.
Among recommendations Of the Gov
ernor arc that ninc-hour work day
be conceded by the operators In de-
timing II nine day work day the Gov
crnor declares that il means nine
hours OF actual service by the employee
to the employer at the same scale of
wages now paid
That no discrimination he made
any miner and if lie elects he
may purchase the supplies of his fam
lily wherever il suits him best.
That the operators grant a semi
monthly pay
In conclusion, the Governor asks that
the miners return to work If the OPP
orators acccdc to the requests he has
made.

The police. however. have been able

there is no evidence to connect tho

only a small quantity of ordinary gun

was made to Judge II. Carter Scott
in the City Circuit Court yesterday by

senting that it was solvent corpor-

Judge Scott decided that the peti-
TONER should first apply to the State

dent To identical hours In many differ

Another reason for the peculiar con-
dition in Richmond Is the fact, owing
10 its geographical location and the
growth of the city chiefly east and
west, the movement OF traffic at the
rush hours is largely in the same gen
cral direction. which greatly increases
the difficulty OF handling II satisfac-
torily.
This company has caused numer-
Gus tabulations of the traffic to be made
on both the Main and Broad Main lines
ana when the average is taken of the
number of passengers per car, per trip
1t indicates no undue crowding, even
in the heaviest rush of the morning

true that the congestion at certain

conditions which are beyond the COM
