ORDERLY CHAOS REPORTED

BY Associated Press
Charleston, NJ. Va, November 14-The
coal strike situation in the southern min
ing fields ofsAVest Virginia was in state
of orderly cnaos, according to a state
ment issued tonight at the headquarters
of the Kanawha Coal Operators assocla-
ton.
While mines were reported to have re-
sumed operations in some districts, in
others where men were al work yester-
day walk-outs occurred again today. Five
Unauthorized strikes were in progress in
the Kanawha fields, preventing the re-
sumption of operations in Is mines
Reports to the association showed that
less than so per cent of the Kanakha
mines were operating and these had a
small working force.
At several mines where the normal
working force numbers several hundred
less than so men reported for work, it
was stated. Two large mines at Leevale
in Big Coal River district. which We're
operating yesterday, were force to shut
down when tie several hundred minors
voted to walk out. Attempts of union
leaders to put the men back to work
failed.
The situation at Blair, in the Little Coal
River district, was reported to be serious.
Six mines were closed in this section by
an ''unauthoriZed' strike of more than
600 miners. They were reported to be in
open rebellion and preventing other men
from entering the Mines
At Sharlow, in the Coal River district,
300 miners voted tc remain on strike; ana
preventing three mines from resumlng.
The miners are reported to have told the
operators that the union officers had
their strike. now they would have one OF
their own"
Miners at Milburn and Ramage are also
reported to have voted not to obey the
union order to return to work. The men
at Milburn demand more money before
they will go to work, it was said. RaGi-
rails at Ramage are said to control the
situation and are preventing resumption

opposition was expressed to participa-

owing to the likelihood of protract-
ed discussion on the scope of the con-
ference before even the demands of
the miners are brought into issue.
many on both sides of the controversy
predicted today that the sessions might
continue for several weeks.
Both miners and operators asserted
tonight that Secretary Wilson's address
would have a powerful effect in bring
Ing closer together the extremes of
both sides. The secretary's address,
which was heard by approximately 80
members of theconfernce in absolute
silence, was delivered slowly and APP
parently with deep telling and con-
yiction. The only applause of the ses-
sion greeted Mr.. Lewis when he en-
tered the hall about is minutes later
Secretary Wilson had delayed calling
the meeting to order until the miners
chief arrived.

For the Good of
the Community

MILLIONS Of cut-over and wet lands
AVE- in the south are being reclaimed by
the government, and within year or two
they will be ready for cultivation. It has
been estimated that 100000 acres of
cut-over lands in Alabama could be
brought into high state Of cultivation
with comparatively little effort after the
government agencies get through with
the improvements contemplated.
d The south has been slow in taking adj
Vantage of the opportunity offered by the
government in it's reclamation service,
but several associations formed during
the last year are now actively educating
the people of this section along these
lines.
b Millions of acres of the richest farm
lands in the west only few years ago
were arid lands and deemed impossible ,
of ever being converted into agricultural
lands.
The government built great irrigation
systems with the result that not only have
thousands of farmers found homes on
good lands, but the country all about
there has been highly developed is pop
ulated by an industrious people and many
cities of considerable Importance have
sprung into existence as a result of this
government work.
It has been the custom in the south
since the Civil War to resist government
aid or supervision of public works of any
kind not directly connected with govern
mental affairs, while the people of the
north and the west have had their hands
in the public treasury at all times grab
bing whatever they could for their respec-
tive sections of the country. Result: The
north and the west have grown rich while
the south remained poor Only within the
last few years have the southern people
awakened to a realization of the need
and Importance of federal aid and now
they are trying to make up for lost time
Federal aid for schools, highways ag-
riculture, health, transportation and ,
many other activities are now being &C
copied by all the states in the south, and
Alabama is not going to be left in this re-
spect.
On the subject of reclaimed lands
man who has made a thorough study Of
it has this to say:
1T is we'll known fact that the inner
ent fertility Of reclaimed soil is materially
greater than that of irrigated arid land,
yet one hundred and tWentyone odd mil
lion dollars have been spent by the fed
eral government for irrigation in the
western states. Call it a revolving fund if
you WILL but the fact remains that the
money was spent. | may be improperly
posted, but do not believe that one hun
~dred and twentyone cents were ever
spent by the federal government in the
reclamation of southern overflow lands.
There are possibly two reasons for this.
The first being that the arid lands were
held in federal ownership; and, secondly,
the south has never been organized to the
extent that it could successfully approach
congress and the several state legisla-
lures to the end that our vast idle acreage
be brought into beneficial agricultural
use through federal cooperation and ex-
penditures of state and federal govern
ment money.
