assured: They had the choice OF sleep

beds and plenty Of bed clothing, or
In good houses. which were heated.
and had satisfactory beds and cloth

rival that the men would be put into
hunks without clothing of any kind.
and that they would have to work
until they had earned sufficient to
buy some good bed clothing, which
was dirty and left by some previous
workmen. In addition the pay never

They are fed beans FOR breakfast,
beans and cornbyead for dinner and

coffee or other food was provided.
This menu is given the men every day,
from which there is no change. and
they are charged thirty cents for 1t.
The men are all dissatisfied with the
conditions but the men have to put

which comes sometime after the men

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
Wake Forest. N. c.. Feb. 17.-The
Elon basketball team fell before Wake
Forest tonight: SO to 20. after they
had given the Baptists a close call
for honors in the first half and had
repeatedly threatened to force ahead
in the second half. The game was In
teresting throughout and was feat
ured by a clever passing OF the Zion
FIVE and the goal shooting of Carlyle
and Dickson.
Failure TO keep their men properly
covered allowed Wake Forests oppon-
ents to pass the ball almost at will in
the first period. but Dicksons timely
goal shooting gave the Baptists 16
TO Ia lead.
Sorrelrs ability to pocket foul goals
kept the Christian quint in the run
ming for a time in the last half, but
the Wake Forest defense frightened
and held the visiting team to one field

UMPIRE DISPUTE
Governor To Try To Bring Coal
Men Together.
Operators and Miners From
Usage To Hold Conference.

Governor Capper will umpire the
disputes of the Usage district miners
and operators at a special conference
in the governors office Friday morn
ing. Announcement of the conference
was made by the governor today.
Operators, as well as one representa-
tive from each of the Usage district
locals. will attend the meeting.
Whether Governor Capper will be
asked to arbitrate the disputes of the
miners and operators is not known.
Harry McFail. representing the min
ers in the Usage district, called upon
the governor today with E. request for
a conference. Plans were immediate
ly made for representation from each
local organization and for attendance
by the operators. Efforts will be
made to settle the strike differences
and restore operations.
Mines Will Operate.
Threats to close the Usage field be-
cause of the government regulations
as affecting the price of :oal had not
disturbed the governor. He declares
the mines will be operated and if nee
essary the government will take over
the properties. 1t appears that the
only method whereby the state may
act in the matter is In the appoint
ment of receivers. In that manner
the state might direct operations.
Many counties in the Usage district
rely on the output of that field for
their local coal supplies. Since the
beginning of the strike. scores of re-
quests have been made for settlement
of the difference and reopening of the
mines.

WORK WITHOUTLICENSE

In the arrest today of George Schaf-
fer. alleged representative of the
American Art associate of Kansas
City. George Mattingly, city license
collector. believes he has broken up
a gang that has been doing a thriv-
ing enlarged picture business without
taking out a city license. Mattingly
arrested Schaffer in the river district.
Schaffer has been employing To-
pekans as agents for the sale of en-
larged pictures, Mattingly declares.
One of the solicitors is a woman who
can neither read nor write The con-
tract which the purchaser of the en-
larged picture signs specifies in rather
prominent type that the agent should
not be paid a cent. Then in another
paragraph, the contract sets forth that
a payment of several dollars shall be
made upon the delivery of a proof
three days later.

story and were led to believe
no money was demanded until the
pictures were delivered" said Mat

WANTS TO BE PATRIOT
Reno County Clerk Cuts Service Bill
From sos to $3.50.

George w. Lee, Reno county clerk
who filed a bill for sos for registra-
ton board services. has reduced his
claim against the government to
$3.50. In a letter to Col. Jonathan
D. Norton, Lee asserts that he wants
to be patriotic and has cuI his claim
to actual expenses.
Lee is claimed to have led the Reno
county move for claims by registra-
ton boards. Almost every registrar
in the county filed a bill. Colonel
Norton urged the men to meet the
demand for patriotic service and do
nate their services to the government
The Reno county sheriff waived his
claim and now Lee has responded by
removing his claim for everything ex-
cept actual expenses If Lee urges
adoption of his policy by the Reno
county registrars, it is believed the ex-
pense in that county will be reduced
to the minimum.
