Williamson. W. Va. Nov. 29.-The
failure OF the MinGo county authorities
10 cope with the strike situation Is due
10 the fact that the budget appropria-
ton for tho sheriff was not large
enough TO meet the emergency It was
explained today by JudSe r. d. BaiieE'
Of the circuit court OF MInso and Wy
oming counties. only the usual appro-
priation Of $4,000 vas included In the
budget for this year and as no emer-
genCy fund was available no extra
deputy sheriffS could be employed: The
main reason why members OF the

are operating 1t about So percent Of
their normal production. During July
only 5000 tons were produced IN the
Aingo part OF the Williamson field. but
In tho first half OF November nearly
$4,000 tons were produced. From these
figures. therefore. the operators ca:m
that the strike is broken.
