MINERSM PIKE
FACE EVICTION

Charleston, w. Ya.--According to
information received here some of the
coal mining companies on the Ken
lucky side Of Tug River are preparing
to evict large numbers of men from
company houses, and an attempt made
TO bring these people over the West
Virginia line and place them in tents.
'The Kentucky people must deal
with that situation If there are to be
wholesale evictions over there" said
Gov. ]. j. Cornwell discussing the
report.
1T will not do for them to send the
homeless strikers over into West Vir-
ginia Our problem in that particular
is already big enough.
Il am taking steps now to try to
solve 1t, and to protect the public as
well as to save the lives OF women and
children In the tents, some OF whom
will certainly die II they are allowed
to remain out there during the win
ter"
Governor Cornwell instructed the
State Health Department to send ex-
perts TO investigate health conditions
in the tent colonies.
Governor CornWell, IL was sldleui hdu
discussed the matter with Judge X. u.
Bailey of the Mingo court and a. G.
Pnson, WHO on January will become
Sheriff of Mingo county, taking the
ground that violent types of Infectious
diseases might develop from life in the
tent colonies.
1t was also stated that the authori-
ties were considering q suggestion that
the people living in tents be moved TO
Williamson or some other town in
Mingo county, where they could be
made more comfortable and where
there is sanitation.
