AVIS UPHELD
By the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee When 1t Strikes Out
a Certain Clause.
.ssEelAL 10 ~ -sLran.n,

WASHINGTON. D. c., June Us
The Senate judiciary committee, en-
gagged in pruning sections OF. the
Clayton trust bill. which the COM
merce committee refused to handle,
has made some notable changes and
stricken out several sections alto
gether. Among those cut out in
their entirety was section No. 3.
This section made 1t unlawful for
the owner, operator or the trans
porter of the products of any mine,
oil or gas well or hydro-electrlc plant
or for any person selling such prod
ucts, to refuse to sell them to a re-
sponsible firm, person or corporation
who made application to purchase
for resale.
1t was against the adoption Of this
section that Representative Avis, of
the Third West Virginia district,
made such a fine argument and
splendid fight, which won for him
new honors in the House and the
commentator of the people of his
district, most of whom are directly
or indirectly very much concerned
in maintaining the prosperity of the
coal business which the enactment
of section into law, Captain Avis
contended, would seriously impair.

NO DECISION

PARKERSBURG, June 25-when
United States Marshal Ned Smith
was seen yesterday relative to the
transfer of the marshal's office
either from this city to Clarksburg
or to provide new quarters for it on
the third floor of the local federal
building, he stated that there was
nothing to be announced. He made
1t clear, however, that the arrange
ment as planned for the removal OF
the Office to another part of the
building would be satisfactory to him
If 1t received the approval of United
States Judge A. G.. Dayton.
1t is probable that Judge Dayton
will make an announcement of his
wishes in the matter shortly and a
definite decision made as to the quar-
tiers to be taken by the office.
Mr.. Smith was In the city in at
tendance at the Democratic state
convention and left for his home in
the evening. He will return here

RAIL WAY MAIL PAY
IS INADEQUATE NOW

1t would be surprising If that was. cor
rect; it would not be surprising If Mr..
Peters contention that fifteen million
dollars are withheld from the rail-
roads, which ought to be paid to them
is correct. We know that there is a
weighing of mails only once in four
years, and we know the rapid increase
in mail weight each year. We know
that since the parcel post has been in
troduced that that increase has been
particularly rapid.
= 1T is not for US, as say, to deter
mine whether the government ought
to pay more or not, or what the con-
sideration ought to be, but we can
not, think, feel any grave doubts il
we examine the figures which have
been submitted to the committee, that
that service which is carrying the rail-
way mails is an unremuneratiye SER
vice to the railroads"
Chairman Bourne, of the Joint
Committee of Congress, commenting
upon the subject recently stated on
his own behalf, and not as the express
sion of the committee that he is
thoroughly convinced that for car
rying the mails the railroads should
be paid rate that will give them the
same returns, per car mile, that they
get on an average from passenger
traffic. The desiderata in mail trans
portation by railroads are frequency,
regularity, speed and safety. Mail is
carried almost entirely on passenger
trains"
The railroad committee on mail pay
has come out in opposition to the
Moon bill, contending that should it
become law it would not only reduce
the compensation for mail service
which the carriers contend they are
now underpaid by less than $15,O0O,-
600 year, but would leave the mat
ter of future compensation so largely
90 the discretion of the department
officials as to render uncertain the
pay which the roads would receive
! from time to time for such service.
The railroad committee sets forth
that it had anticipated as an outcome
Of the hearing by the congressional
committee such an adjustment in the
rate of pay as would reasonably com
pensate the roads for their services
and the committee further asserts
that any reduction would result In
gross injustice to the agency which
has been most potent in the prompt
and effective handling of the postal
service.

But the Case against Judge
Aston G. Dayton Has Moth
ing to Do with i.
FROM Chas. Brooks smith,

WASHINGTON; d. c., June U.s.
According to representative Of the
United Mine Workers, there is no
prospect of permanent peace in the
mining regions of West Virginia un-
til that state is completely unionized
or the miners organization becomes
bankrupt. There is no fear of the
latter happening, this official says.
= According to him the unionization
of the mines in the southern part of
the state has made remarkable and
gratifying progress, especially in the
Kanawha and New River districts.
Along the Norfolk and Western he ad-
mits that the fight there has not yet
begun, nor in the Fairmont district in
the northern part of the state. But
these are fields which are destined to
be invaded in the future. They have
been left alone, because the union
had its hands full with the Kanawha
and New River fields, and its plan of
campaign was to take one mine-pro-
ducing region at time. 1t is an in
dustrtal war that, he says, will re-
quire years of time, excessive Satience
and huge treasure. He declares that
the victory has virtually been won in
the Kanawha and New River fields,
and with the acceptance of the Check
of" agreement in the Kanawha field,
which is about to be accepted by the
remaining operators who had held
out against 1t, he declares that
another great advance has been made
in unionizing the mines of the state.
Asked IL the attempt of the union
to have Judge A. G. Dayton, of the
Northern district impeached, was a
preliminary step of the union to an
invasion of the Fairmont region, he
answered that while 1t might appear
SO on the face of it, it was not, as the
union had no means of knowing that,
If 1t were successful in its prosecu-
ton Of Judge Dayton, his successor
would be any 10 pre- satisfactory to the
laboring class. However" and he
smiled, he couldn't be any worse
from our ctandpoint.''
1.-THE fact is" he continued, that
we have undertaken to prosecute
Judge Dayton both because he is a
violent foe to union labor and we
have a strong case against him,
strong enough in our opinion, when

his impeachment. The action was
not taken as a preliminary to our en-
tering on the fight in the Fairmont
field. When we get ready to start on
that campaign Judge Dayton or no
jurist who is known to be unfriendly
to US will deter us. The strike at
Golfers was but an incident, and
nothing especially to do with our plan
of campaign when the fight begins in
earnest in the Fairmont field. It
was, however, Of Importance to us in
several ways, none the least Of which

BRYAN AND CHINDA
AGREE TO PUBLISH
Correspondence Concerning
CALIFORNIA; Land Law in
Both Countries.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-By mu-
tual arrangement between Secretary
Bryan and Ambassador Chinda the
correspondence between the United
States and japan over the California
alien land law is to be published in
both countries simultaneously tomor-
row merning. The correspondence
begins with the Japanese protest of
May, 1913, in advance of the enact
ment of the Webb law and winds up
with the latest note of yesterdays
date making answer to Japanese
communication Of ten months ago.
The correspondence is naturally volu-
minous for the reason that it is large
ly argumentative; the Japanese gov
eminent endeavoring to show that the
California law is violation of the
existing treaty while the American
side of the case lays great stress up
on certain language of the treaty
which apparently almost in terms ex-
cludes Japanese from the right to
hold agricultural lands.
The last American note was an
afterthought, State department ON
Gals felt that the only way to clear
away the difference would be through
a legal test of the constitutionaIity
of the California legislation and they
inclined to the belief that 1t remained
for the Japanese government to make
this test through suit Instituted by
a Japanese resident of California.
Now, however, a new cabinet has
come into existence in Japan which is
commonly understood to be pledged
to more energetic foreign policy
than the one 1t displaced and as an in
cident 1t has felt called upon to make
report to the japanese Giei. now In
special session of the status of the
California negotiations.

ZACATECAs, Mex, June 25.-Af-
ter four days of preliminary fighting
the final assault on Zacatecas took
place Tuesday resulting in the cap
ture Of the city by the Constitutions
alists at 1880 p. m. General Villa
himself gave the following account
of the battle:
After four days hard attacks, to-
day was the decisive one. The en-
envy, numbering $4,000 commanded
by Medina Barron and five other
generals, were defeated completely
by my forces which were aided eff
fectively by General Natera's men.
Up to this moment we have 5000
prisoners, twelve cannon. nine
trains, two carloads of ammunition
and nearly 5000 Mauser rifles and
large quantity of provisions and
other munitions of war.
The enemy, who escaped. went in
the direction of Auguas Palientes
after dynamiting the postofice, the
state treasurer's Office and the
stamp revenue Office buildings The
explosions killed many of our men
and destroyed part of the city. The
dead of the enemy number 1000 and
about 1000 wounded.
"On our part we can not tell the
losses of the battle, which lasted for
five consecutive days, but l think
there are not more than 500 dead
and 500 wounded. Among the lat
ter are General Herrera and Gen
eral Rodriguez, who were severely
wounded. Our artillery operated
splendidly. The federals destroyed
every fort, the last being Ell Grlllo.'
