COAt OPERATORS
Of MANY Minds

Can't Even Agree on
Whether There is a
Coal Shortage
Especial to The West vlrgtnianl

Especial to Tne west VLrSlnlan
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July R-
There Is q large representation Of
coal operators here attending The
conference called by the officials
Of the National Coal association.
The West Virginia delegation Is
the largest in numbers. Groups Of
operators from every producing
field In that state are here.
What will be the outcome Of The
conference nobody seems to be
able to forecast, nor is anybody ap'
parenly willing to make a guess
Conferences Of coal operators have
been frequent here since 1914, and
the history Of them shows that
agreeing on a policy in q perfect
harmonious agreement has been
the exception and not the RUE.
The rivalry and competition be
tween the coal producing states
have been too great to enable al
agreed policy, once 1t had been
reached, to be stuck to. 1t gen
orally went smash upon the rocks
OF trade Jealousy and competition
before II got very old.
In the conference, and outside
of Il, particularly outside Of Il In
hotel rooms and lobbies, there has
been much frank and conflicting
discussion Of the coal situation.
The wide divergence Of individual
opinion to be found among The
West Virginia coal operators % q
sure index Of the state Of oppos'
ing sentiment among the opera
tors present generally.
That there Is Q lack Of car sup
ply. that the transportation Is bad
and that labor conditions In The
mining fields are not as restful and
altogether satisfactory as they
would wish, are two factors IN the
coal trade situation upon which
there appears 10 be nearer unani
nous agreement But on the otAg
hand !"
.There Is no coal famine o.
shortage" say some. There h,'
say others.
Prices are too high-mreason
ably high and should be brought
down. It Is declared by one group
prices are not too high-conSid
ering-and should be higher, and
probably win BE-" declare anotha
faction.
These are but . few samples d
the marked conflict cf opinion
They do not run the entire gamut
BY any. manner q means.
Underneath Il all runs q currenl
OF fear that the government may
consider ITSELF forced BY conditions
to take charge Of the coal bustnesi

TEXAS STRONG FOR

Harding will carry Texas hy a big
majority If the straw votc taken at
the Rotary luncheon Thursday noon
is any criterion. Each member was
asked, when responding to the roll
call, to state his presidential tavo--
ite. A few declined to commit them-
selves. Some were for specific DEM
ocratic possibilities and a few de-
clared themselves as favoring who
ever might be nominated at the San
Francisco convention, but the sur
prise of the meeting was the large
majority that declared themselves
enthusiastically in favor of Harding.
OF some 210 present at the meeting
fully 80 per cent declared themselves

two important elements which will be
needed to give the Democrats any sort
of chance in the election.
Secretary of Agriculture Merdith
may show surprising strength because
of his popularity with the farmers, It
is said, but 1t is hardly believed he
will in any event land higher than
second place on the ticket, IL that
should go to him.
The situation, therefore, works
around to former Speaker Champ
Clark again. One political observer
remarked today that If the Clark
hackers can imbue the delegates with
the idea that he could win, the rest
would be easy. Let Senator George
Chamberlain, Democrat, of Oregon,
tell you why Champ Clark is strong
probability:
"There is no name better known
in the United States than that of the
Honorable Champ Clark. For his
splendid Americanism, his ability, his
attitude toward all great political
questions, all who know this big MAJ
love. and respect him and have the
utmost confidence in his rugged hon
esty
"The people love him for his abili-
ty to say what he thinks when occa-
sion requires. If he should happen
Ito be nominated the public would
know what he stood for. and If elect
ed, the public would know that he
would do the things that he stood for
before the election.
81 am sure. but that the treat
ment he received at the hands of the
Baltimore convention in 1912 en-
titled him to the nomination in 1920"

MIR. $. $. MAY HURT
a BY VICIOUS JACK

Mr.. S. S. (Steve) May 73 years
old, superintendent of the J. w. Ford
mine at Bends Lick Hills, three miles
below town, was badly injured Tues
day by jack. They had been using
the lowly animal, rather small one.
for the purpose of drawing coal from
the mine. lie in some manner had
gotten out of his quarters and Mr..
May was attempting to catch him.
For some cause the jack was in a
lrage and pounced upon Mr.. May strik-
ing him squarely in the chest with
his front feet, knocking him down
and almost breathless. He then flew
into him with his teeth and front
feet, literally chewing the left arm
of the helpless man from wrist to
shoulder, bruising. tearing and CASH
ing it to considerable depth in few
places where the tusks came into
play. Mr.. May was brought to town
at once and his wounds dressed.
Mr.. May suffered broken IT'D In
the encounter and his body is consid-
erably bruised. but If no infection In
the wounds made by the teeth of the
animal is suffered the injuries are
not considered serious. Mr.. May
does not know or can not explain just
how he managed to beat the appar-
emily wild jack off and make his es-
cape.
This was the first time the animal
ever manifested such bad temper or
showed fight toward the men.

STATE NO LONGER
FEEDING FAMILIES

Assistants at various State institu-

because of an order promulgated by
Public Commissioner Joseph P. Byers
when salaries recently were increas-
ed putting an end to the practice OF
feeding and qHartering families of
married employees. There have been
a number of designations at the Cen
tral. Western and Eastern State Hos.
pitals for the insane. II was the
habit in the past for employees with
families to quarter them at the insti-
tutions and TO feed them at the ex-
pense of the State. Sometimes, II
was stated at the Office of Commits
sioner Byers, employees raised fami-
lies of four or five children at the ex-
