Claiming the Lever Act is prejudiced
and destructive to the business inter
ests OF the country The Northern West
Virginia Coal Operators Association
at its meeting this morning at the Ja-
cobs building went on record as favor
ing its repeal. 1t approves of the
passage OF a bill introduced in Con-
gress by Representative Tnson, of
Connecticut, asking for its repeal.
The Lever act as it stands now is OBJ
noxious to the coal industry as the
sehson of the year is rapidly coming
around when contracts are let. While
this bill has been in force many oper-
ators resorted to spot business only
as they did not want to be tied up on
contract under II.
The resolution passed at today's
meeting was as follows:
Whereas the act of Congress Of
August 10. 1917, commonly known as
tho Lever Act, was passed solely as a
far emergency measure which said
emergency has terminated and the
continued operation OF said act lis
predicated solely upon the technicality
tween the United States and Germany,

Whereas the continued operation
Of said act Is not only Unnecessary to
The purposes for which It was enacted,
but is also prejudicial and destruc.
tiYg to the business interests Of the
country, and particularly to the inter.
ssts of the coal industry OF the state
Of West Virginia;
BE it ResolvedS That the Northern
West Virginia Coal Operators Associa-
tion, composed of coal operators in the
state of West Virginia, employing ap-
proximately $4,000 men with an ap.
proximate annual output of 20 millions
ions, does hereby unanimously give its
support to the bill introduced in Con-
gress by Representative Tilson, of
Conn6:ticut, for repeal OF said Lever
act; and
"Be it Further Resolved, That a
copy OF this preamble and resolution

Strike complete in Rerlin.

BERLIN, March 16.-Men who act
strike called in this city as a protest
against the reactionariesi revolt are
threatened with the death penalty in
proclamation issued by DIR. Wolk-
gang Kapp, the new chancellor. The
order for infliction of capital punish.
ment will be effective after four
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and is
based on the decree prohibiting any
strike or passive resistance in any vi.
tai service which was issued earlier in
the day by the minister Of defense,
There is intense anxiety over the
prospect OF a continuance of the strike
with a possibility of an epidemic re,
sulting from lack of sanitation and the
stoppage Of water supply.
No world capital ever before expert
enced such a complete paralysis of all
its living and commercial facilities as
Berlin did today. The Hotel Adlon
made heroic effort to provide food for
the American, British and French
missions and newspaper, correspond
ents but it gave up the task at ten
this morning when the last of. the
kitched force walked out leaving for
eigners to shift for themselves. 1t
was a common spectacle to see frocl5
coated diplomats returning TO the ho-
tel from foraging expeditions carrying
food, oil stoves and other necessities,
Guests Of the hotel, warned that the
water would be shut off at noon, filled
the bathtubs and washstands but de-
fective shoppers gradually let out the
precious fluid and the guests had to
rely on wines and table water. Men
who are usually shaved by BARRIERS are
in an apologetic mood tonight and IF
the strike continues the male popu.
lation will soon be bearded
The city this afternoon had the ap.
pearance of another Sunday holiday.
Sauntering crowds filling Unter.den.
Linden. AT intervals troops with
bands accompanied by artillery and
machine guns paraded through the
streets.

Police court this morning was made
interesting by news from the officers
that c. w. Garrico had been fined $40
for disorderly conduct on Madison
street yesterday. 1t appears Carrico
accosted Officer Digman while he was
standing in front of the hotel. Say,
Digman," said Carrico loudly, where
in - is that --t - chief OF
yours?"
Why he's at the police station" re.
piled Digman. "Why?r
You're no better than he is - the
whole lot OF you are the same. Why
in -- are you are picking on me?'
Nov, Carrico,'' soothed Digman,
that's just notion you've got. We
aren't laying for you at all and what's
more, you had better stop that line OF
talk or I'll have to take you to JAIL
Carrico was merely iafs<med the more
at this and persisted in using foul Ian
guage SO that Digman collected a SO
fine from him and the matter was
dropped. "Carrico is really not in his
right mind" was the opinion at police
court this morning.
B. ii. Knowles, a seedy individual
with frayed clothing very much the
worse for mud and dirt, was fined SIS
for drinking too much pickhandle last
night at pool room this side OF the
bridge. Knowles had a curly head and
soft curly beard which hadn't seen
water for some time. He gazed at
spectators this morning with dazed,
red eyes maintaining that he was not
drunk last night at all. You know
how 1t is" he repeated frequently to
anyone who happened to be listening
ANY man'll know how it isl"
'It'n cost you $5,' said the mayor.
Knowles had no five so was given the
privilege of cleaning out the jail in
stead. I'D rather pay $40 than do it
myself" remarked one of the officers.
But Knowles expressed ready willing.
ness and disappeared to parts below.
A number of other drunks were
marked up on the books this morning,
none of them appearing to remon-
strate. Dennis Flynn forfeited SIS for
being drunk on Madison and Main last
night. Jim Macovy, ditto, same loca-
tion. G. w. Blakeney who paid $5
yesterday for being drunk paid $40
last night for the same pleasure. He
did not appear for remarks this morn
ing. Blakeney was unable to navigate
at the Madison street location also
and spent part of the night In the city
jail.

EXPECT WILSON TO.
ACT ON Miners
| l|||IAGEREPO|RTSQON.
Disposition Expected This
Week Although Nothing
New Develops.

s. Coal operators in the Fairmont re-
gion are today discussing the report
of the United States Bituminous Coal
commission and speculation is rife as
to just how President Wilson will
handle it.
Whether the majority report-rep-
resenting the opinion of abe repre-
sentative Of teh people and the repre-
sentative of the operators-will stand
or whether the minority report sub
mitted by the representative of the
United Mine Workers of America,
will be accepted is the subject Of
much guessing. Perhaps some COM
promise in the matter will be made.
but of course this is only matter OF
conjecture.
Whether President Wilson will
make any recommendation remains
to be seen. However, the belief is
that the President will breack his
silence on the matter this week, prob
ably within afew days. In the mean
time the propesd increas in the min
ers' wages is being very generally dis
cussed in mining circles. n
