WASHINGTON. d. C.. Mar. IS
The United Mine Workers are going
Ito continue to camp on the trail or
Judge "a. G. Dayton. OF West Virgin
la. according TO statements OF the at
storneys who prosecuted the charges
against him and, according to their
version, lost in the last round Just
show they have not been able to fig
snre out. Their plans for further
proceedings are not complete, they
say. but formulated to II large ex-
tent. The bear chiefly on the prob
lem how to get the casa6considered
again by the judiciary COMMITTEES or
the House. since that committee by
a majority vote decided to drop tho
case, and In SO far as they have been
made public are unique.
The lawyers that prosecuted Judge
Dayton on the charges preferr,ss..
against him in the resolution intro
duced by Congressman Nicely. pro
pose to win converts on the com
lmittee by a campaign such as con-
WINGED Major Nicely that he ought
to move in the House for inpeach-
ment. That is. knowing that the
personnel of the judiciary commit
tee will be in the next Congress viz
tually what 1T was in the last, they
are going to wage a campaign
through the labor organizations in.
each members district to convince
each member that the case against
the West Virginia judge should be
reopened and by the help of his vote.
The Dayton case is going to Be ex-
plotted in each members district and
the labor unions are going to be stir
red UP over it, as was done so Of.
fectually in West Virginia, especially
IN the First congressional district.
In connection with this campaign
the report Of the committee, or more
properly speaking the subcommittee
statement OF proven lets. Is TO Ge
given the widest circulation. The
lawyers take the view that this re-.
port was on the whole more OF a vim
dication OF their case. than it was
otherwise, and they seem anxious
that the public should have the re-
port TO read in full to pass on wnetth.
err their idea is right or not. They
express confidence that the widest
reading Of the report will be helpful!
to securing support of their cause.
They are figuring on an initial dis
tributjon OF nearly half-million cop
les of this. report, most of which
number will go direct into the pos
session of West Virginians.
They also claim to have been put
into possession of much additional
important testimony, since the hear
ing closed and the impression was
given that the case was ended and
not likely to be reopened. It is pref
ty we'll Understood here that investi-
gators are at work now following
Tip leads furnished by the recent in
curry and since.
The success of tho plans OF the
to reopen the cab de-
Ponds entirely upon how many mt en-
bers oftthe judiciary committee they
can convert between now and the
converting OF the next Congress-.
Should they be able to get a major
ity, as well as further evidence to-
sustain their c1>sentions against
Judge Dayton, they would, they say,
introduced, more than
likely by Major Nicely himself. ana
no trouble in getting it referred to-
the judiciary committee. Their
main fight would be then, as be-
fore, in that committees.
If every West Virginian was as
on the subject of build
ing good roads in this state as Hon..
w Fleming, of Falrmaont,
is, and HAD his practical. business
mans views Of it, dirt would be fly
ing in every part of the common
wealth SO that the roads would be
the sooner completed that they might
begin to pay interest and dividends
on the bond issues that paid for
them. Where is this money to come
from? Why, according to Mr.. FNlenl-
ing 1t will come cash in hand from
automobile tourists. not to mention
the increased realty and innumer-.
able other indirect values.
Mr.. Fleming Is no visionary as.
those who know him will be quick
to inform ANYBODY who. sn,t.tthat-
