PORTING"
(BY Holm EDWIN NEVlN.)

Washington, Aug. 29.--One of the
most important labor conferences
held since the labor situation became
acute will take place this afternoon
President Wilson and Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, were to discuss tie
general labor situation. The exact
fine had not been announced.
The president let II be known that
he was ready TO receive the veteran
labor leader at any time that suited
his convenience.
The conference was arranged be-
fore Mr.. Gompcrs left France to re-
turn to the United States. His early
return in part was due. It was ad-
mitted today, to the desire of the
president that he take personal
charge of the complex labor situation.
Complete Understanding.
In the past there has been n com
plete understanding between the
president and the chief of the fed"
Grafton which has been absent In ne
gotatlons with other labor leaders.
It was said that the entire labor
situation so far as 1t affected the
entire country would be discussed.
Situation Clearing Up.
The general labor outlook was con-
sidered as materially clarified by last
nights and today's developments.
There was an absence today of
strike talk. Generally labor officials
seemed inclined to await develop
ments. The general feeling expressed
in most quarters was that the admin
istration should be given "a fair
chance" to work out a solution of the
compensation problems which was
affected by the high cost of living.
Only meager reports had been re-
ceived by the railway administration
from the Pacific coast regarding the

INTERVENTION IN MEXICO
Charged that Administration Is Plant
Ing the Seed.

Washington, Aug. 29--Representative
Mondell Wyoming, in the house late
yesterday, charged that the administra-
ton is planting the seed and adroitly
endeavoring to create the sentiment for
intervention in Mexico.
Such a conclusion, he asserted, can
not be escaped by anyone carefully
reading the newspapers"
The plain effort is being made on
the part OF the administration TO ere
ate situation under which congress
will be compelled to act" declared, the
republican leader, who added that
carefully prepared" information re-
garding intervention was being spread
throughout the country.
During his speech the republican
leader also referred to the war depart
ment's plans for an army rearganiza-
ton on the basis of a force of $4,000
officers and men, asserting such force
was too large, hut that there need be
no fear that Congress-at least the re-
pubicans-would approve it.
This congress, at least the repuh-
lican members" declared Mr.. Mondell,
will not approve any program that will
cost over a billion dollars a year"

State Highway
Work Will Be Commenced
Near Here Within a
Few Days.

j. L. Bum, of this place, has
received II contract to furnish
stone for the state highway from
Big Stone Gap to Dryden, Il dis
lance of thirteen miles, and he
will commence work within n
few days. Mr., Bunn's contract
is to furnish the required stone
and place it about every fifty
feet, and the work of putting it
down and surfacing the road will
be done by the state or another
contractor. Mr.. Bum will open
up rock quarries at the Parson
place below town, the Barron
quarry, the Milt Reason quarry,
the John Reason quarry and the
z. Litton quarry, in order to
furnish the rock required in his
contract.
Under the state plan of high
ways an eighteen foot road will
be built and maintained by the
state through every county in
commonwealth, touching the
county sent of each county. Misc
county's state road Will run
from the Lee county line through
Big Stone Gap and Appalachia
to Norton, and from there to st.
Paul, BY way of Wise, the coun-
ty seat. However, the state
will not construct roads through
incorporated towns where they
levy and collect their own road
tax, as is the case in Big Stone

The maintainence of this road
through Wise county, which will
be about thirty-fiye miles in
length, will be great benefit to
the county, ns it will insure a

ty.
