Preconvention committees appointed
recently by County Chairman Henry
W. Buxton, of Manhattan, have accom-
plished we'll the work they set out to
do. AS result there will be little time
lost when the convention is called to
order in useless pickering and debate,
such as that which marked last years
convention in Carnegie Hall.
All the vital issues with which the
Legion has been concerned since the
last county gathering have been con-
sidered by the preliminary committee
to which that work was assigned, and
these will be debated at length. There
also are likely to be some suggested
changes in the administrative methods
of the Legion.
The real fight of the session probably
will center on the question of naming
delegates to the state convention at
Albany next month. Those proposed for
selection have not yet been made
KNOWN but nearly every post in the
county has its own candidate. There
fore, a spirited contest is possible. All

cent dispatches from Washington.
While the War Department had ar
ranged to distribute as many as $4,000
day, only 10000 applications have
been made in the last month, accord
ing to War Department figures.
1t had been planned to distribute all
the medals within five or six months,
but at the rate they are being disposed
of now it would be Mt least six years
before the last veteran received his.
An effort has been made by an or
ganization of war veterans not identi-
fed with the Legion to make it ap-
pear that the Legion sought monop-
oily in the distribution of the Vic
tory medals. This appeared in n
query from the president of that or
ganization to Secretary of War Baker
to which the Secretary of War replied
that the medals would be distributed to
individuals only. That is perfectly
true.
The American Legion announced only
that it would "aid the government" in
the distribution to members of local
posts. 1t is planned at present to have
appropriate ceremonies on armstice
day and make the distribution as i'm
pressive as possible.

10 hg~g. GOAL. USERS:

We want to have few words with you
on a subject vital to your interest and your
comfort
We want you to consider whether or
not it will be to your advantage to have
reserve spot in the nations coal industry
where supply will be forthcoming despite
the strike and shutdown orders of the
United Mine Workers of America.
There are four important coal fields in
West Virginia operating non-union. They
are the Williamson or Thacker field, the
Pocahontas field, the Tug River field, and
the Logan field. A portion Of the New
River field is operated open shop. These
four and a fraction non-union fields of
West Virginia gave to the country its al
most sole supply Of coal during the Noven-
ber-December strike of 1919.
These four fields yield an annual pro-
duction of 40,0OO,0OO TONS or approxi-
mately forty per cent of the total output
of West Virginia.
Five million tons of this total is pro-
duced in this, the Williamson field, where
the United Mine Workers are endeavoring
to enforce an organization.
The Logan field production amounts to
ten,mllion tons, Pocahontas and Tug River
twenty million tons, while the production
in the open shop mines of Raleigh and
Fayette Counties will add five million tons.
This represents Approximately 8 per
cent of the total annual coal production
and exceeds the average consumption Of
three states.
The anticipated requirements for the
present year are estimated at about 5OO,-
000,0 900 tons of bitumnous coal.
By far the largest percentage of this
amount comes from fields organized by
the United Mine Workers.
The United Mine Workers hold and fire.
quently exercise the power to close all the
mines under its control. AS an organiza-
ton 1t accepts no responsibility for con-
tracts with operators, but closes mines
regardless.
1t has an extensive political program
including the naturalization of mines, five
day week, six hour day, the right to bar
gain with and enforce it's demands on the
Government, and so forth, which it pro-
poses to negotiate through Congressional
action as soon as it shall complete the or
ganlzation of all the coal fields
We throw out these hints as to the pur
pose of the United Mine Workers that YOU
may realize your prospects for fuel sup
ply in the event the U. NJ w. organization
gains the ascendancy over production in all
the fields.
