Garnsey July 20.-(Special) )-Super- intendent McSherry of the Galloway Coal Company mines tells me today that all the men who were here en- ployed, 230 in number laid down their tools on the 25th day of May and not one has returned to work. Trouble was and is that the company declines to recognize" the union. Same story: the agitators came upon the ground and persuaded the men to believe they would find greater freedom and satis- faction under the management Of the United Mine Workers than under the owners of the mines, and that the man. agement of the company property could easily be wrested from it's owners by striking geo operation.
 Perhaps the poor deluded miners did not realize that fulfillment of such promise would prove to be impossible and that the only beneficiary of such change of condition would be the paid agitator who lives upon just such dis turbing occupation.
 Of the strikers, only about twenty have left the premises of the company, and Superintendent McSherry has been informed that these have gone to work at other mines, where no contract ex- ists with the United Mine Workers Association and none is demanded. This would seem to indicate a pressure by intimidation and really an unwil- lingness to obey the edicts of the agi- tating force
 Here at Garnsey about the same con ditions exist as at the other camps of this field-churches, schools, houses and general surroundings adequate to 1ar de of bo No ,Iot, ,,t is uttered as to scale of prices, nor management of the mines. There does not seem to be that spirit of unrest and vindictiveness on the part of the men as at some of the other camps. It is just resting" and waiting for some thing to turn up. No frown upon the faces of the men,, but cordial personal relations between managers and men,.
 At this writing no order has gone forth from the office to the men and their families to vacate the houses, and he superintendent expresses confidence that within a short time the miners will see the error of their way and re-

IVY HANGED FOR
 BAGWELL MURDER 65-Year-Old White Man Ex- ecuted After All Efforts
 for Communication Fail
Rv A,snniaied Prs,

Pittsboro, Miss, July 20.-His death sentence once commuted to life i'm prisonment by an acting governor, only to have the governor return, issue a statement that the records of his of flee did not show a communication and ordered him from the state farm back to the death cell, Charles Fl. Ivy. 50 years old, today was hung in the little red brick jail here for the murder of Love Bagwell in 1919. The men had been enemies for years, the testimony showed.
 In the hope that Governor Russell would grant eleventh hour executive clemency, for which the sheriff of this county and two members of the par dons board had intereeded, the hang ing was deferred until late today.
 The case went(through the supreme court, but sentence was affirmed.
 A stay of execution was issued at one time by the governor in order that an appeal might be made to the board of pardons for communication. That body, however, declined to inter fere.
 John Carter riding in the wagon with Bagweu, when the latter was killed, received q charge of shot from 1vy's gun which rendered his arm use less from that day.
 In d last mSnute statement Ivy de- clared he did not regret the killing of Bagwell. though sorry he had to do it. and if the affair had to be gone over again, would do just as he had done.'

No Spirit Of Unrest Among
 Striking Miners at Garnsey
No Trouble About Wage Settlement Is Stated, But the Question As to Whether Company Miners Union Shall Manage and Operate Property Is
 Issue Involved

sume their places in the mines. He be- lieves that already a number of the men see the mistake they have made and would willingly resume work did they not fear the disapproval of and actual punishment by the union agita- tors, officials and watchers.
 That the trouble does not arise from a question of wage settlements, but simply shall the miners union manage the prop erty of the operating company, must be understood by the public. The general welfare of the public itself. of the em. ployes and the employers is at stake. Stoppage in production of any essential strike close to the roots of all industry and the welfare of the people. The loss to the men and the public is actual and complete; the loss to the operator many in part, at least, be passed on to the public. These are facts worthy of deepest consideration by all thoughtful men. As the wage scale. based upon the United States government rule, is not an issue both employe and employer being sat sfiedwith the same-it need not be here discussed.
 The Garnsey mines constitute very important part of the production capacity of the Cahaba coal field, and a cessation of labor here is being felt keenly by the coal consuming public.
 Not only does this curtailment of pro- ductive energy react against the entire public, but especially against the striking miner and his family. His loss can never be regained. His days of usefulness are rapidly passing by-his strength and life must wane. He is sacrificing a golden opportunity to lay in store for himself means of support in his declining years
 Complete and friendly cooperation be- tween the miner and operator is essen tial to the welfare of all parties at inter est, and it is evident that this happy con- dtion can be reached as soon as the de- luded miners awaken to the fact that the operators will never yield to the demands of the United Mine Workers by surren- dering to them the control of their prop erty.
 The public should bear in mind that the operators have acquiesced in the award and recommendations of the United States coal commission, which was ac' cepted by President Wilson as being fair and just This commission heard the statement and demands of the mine work CTS as it did the statements of the oper ators and reached it's conclusions inn partially.

NO pRoyoCATIoN. VERDICT

Durham, N. C., July a0.-James Ray the man who was killed Monday night during three-minute battle between a masked mob and the Durham machine gun company. guarding three negro prisoners in the Alamance county jail at Graham, came to his death by a shot fired by the machine gun company with out provocation, was the finding of the ccroners jury which this morning held an inquest over Rays body
 The verdict of the coroner's jury and the popularity of Ray has engendered bitter feeling in Graham against the To- cal machine company, prominent citi- zens of Alamance county said over the telephone tonight.
 Capt Marion B, Fowler and his ma chine gunners returned home this morn ing after having safely deposited the three negro prisoners, held in connec- tion with an assault made on a prosni- nent Alamance county woman. in the state penitentiary at Raleigh. The members of the company were weary after their long period of vigil over the Alamance county jail.
 Captain Fowler said that he had no statement supplementing what he had said soon after the battle with the mon. He expressed doubt as to whether his company. fired the shot that killed Ray, stating that the militiamen had their guns pointed in a different direction The young captain said that Sergt. R. NJ Price had given the order for the men to fire.
 My only order to them.' he said was to cease firing.
 In making this statement, however, the captain declared emphatically that he did not wish to shift any responsibility. My first orders to the company were to fire i. fired upon. It was this order upon which Sergeant Price rightly acted"

NO MOB FORMED,

Denounces Action of Ma chine Gunners Which Re-
 suited in One Death
By Associated Press

Raleigh, N. C., July 20.-Declaring that Durham machine gunners guarding three prisoners in the Alamance county jail fired seventy-five or more shots with out provocation, killing one citizen and wounding two more. Mayor R. l.. Holmes of Graham today issued a state ment insisting that mo mob assembled in Graham on the night of sJuly 19 and no attempt was made to enter the jail or to trespass on the grounds"
 .The facts are says Mayor Holmes in his statement. that at 9:20 D. m. the lights in the jail went out and it is said by the soldiers that some unknown per son fired upon them. This fact has not been verified but immediately, they said, upon this provocation, they opened up the machine guns. Also they fired side arms, and about seventy-five shots were fired in all directions-of the town killing one man by the name of James Ray and wounding Willie Phillips. Upon investigation today by Solicitor Gattis. the fact seems to be that there was no provocation whatever for this rash act -
 At the coroner's inquest in Graham to- day dozen citizens of the town, accord ing. to reliable reports from that town testified that no attack was made upon the jail.
 The three negro prisoners arrested in connection with the assault upon prom iEent white woman of Graham Saturday night are now lodged in death row at the state prison having been brought here this morning on a special train accompanied by county officers and the Durham machine gun company.
 George Troxler, one of the three, de- clared today that he slept through the entire period of firing at the Graham jail last night, and knew of it only through hearsay. Arthur Lee and Ar thur Veasley, the other two. confessed to a night of trepidaton and much praying

SIX ARE ARRESTED IN
 ANTI-JITNEY CONTEST
Hartford Public, Service Vehicle Operators Test
 ing City Ordinance.

Hartford, Nov. S.-Six drivers of jitney busses had been arrested up to noon today for alleged violation of an ordinance recently enacted confining the busses to certain thoroughfares and ruling them off Main street. An injunction asked for by the bus men a fortnight ago was denied by Judge Kellogg of the superior court and they were given until today to comply with the ordinance. This forenoon the bus drivers profess to carry passengers free of charge, following their old routes which parallel the Connecticut Company's lines. They also asked for signatures to petitions to be addressed to the common council tonight re- questing the privilege of traffic on certain forbidden streets.
 Mayor Newton c. Brainard instruct ed the chief of police to confer with the prosecuting attorney concerning the apparent violation. The latter ruled that the bus drivers were Vio- lating the law whether they collected fares or not. The arrests followed. This afternoon the bus owners threat ened to withdraw their vehicles en- tirely from all streets. Meanwhile they say they will appeal to the supreme court.

Many state officers have been scattered through the towns the past two weeks trying to get trace of the burglars A few nights ago State officer Elliot saw a car in Pomfret bearing a Rhode Island registry num- Der which excited his suspicion. He could not stop it but passed along the number.
 Early today a Putnam officer saw a car with this number on the street. A man was fixing a flat tire. He took the two men and woman to the sta ton and later all were questioned. They will be taken to Pomfret to be charged with robberies in that town. The. pr. John Jay place and the Elliot place known as the Or chard House, were among those broken into. All places visited were the summer homes of wealthy people and most of them were looked after by caretakers.

Washington, Nov.

 We are over the top and on the down grade in most phases of indus trial and comnierciaI life" says the report. although there still continue to be exceptions to this general state ment. Finished lines of metals, drugs and automobile sundries are among the most notable exceptions, especially as to price changes, which are few as yet in these particular branches of business.
 Demand is SIackening.
 Demand in all lines is slacken- ing. It is everywhere a case of most conservative buying rather than any great increase in supply. We are having a vivid illustration of how our usual volume of business is made up largely of things people do not really need. Also, we see how people will get along without things they once thought indispensable. once the fit of economy is on them.
