from prison are being held in abey

er-labor nominee for president, in.
formed the government in a telegram
today. The telegram asked for ar
early reply to one sent by Mr.. Christ
ensen from Denver last week, where
in he asked the. nominees of the
democratic and republican parties tc
join him in pressing for Debs' re-
lease.
The telegram follows:
son July 20 1 telegraphed to you
and Senator Harding a request that
you and he join with me in urging
the president to release Eugene V.
Debs, the socialist candidate, now
serving term in Atlanta prison for
protesting his political views during
the war, which has been over twenty
months.
Senator Harding has replied I'M
favorably. | can only assume from
what he says that, while he was in
favor of freedom of speech for the
republican senators who attacked, in
vestigated, and ridiculed, if they did
not actually obstruct, the govern
ment's prosecution of the war in
1917-18, he is unwilling to concede
the socialists the constitutional right
of free speech and political criticism
in war time. I take it the republican
candidate is content to suffer the So
cia1ist candidate to remain in prison
and the socialist party, which has
national election to pursue the cam
standard bearer and paramount
spokesman.
~"Still, I have not lost hope of
bringing the president to see the
tyranny involved in the continued
of Debs, or of convinc-
ing him that thinking Americans of
all parties hold the administration in
contempt for its violence to the fun
damental rights of free speech, free
press and free assemblage in general
and for it's vindictive attitude toward
Debs in particular. For l intend to
make every possible effort to the end
that Debs, a man with whom dis
agree politically, be accorded the
same freedom to voice his beliefs
hat you and Senator Harding and
enjoy. My plans. however, will be
leld in allegiance pending an ex-
preston as to your willingness to CO.
operate in what appears to me
natter of fair play, if nothing more.
would be grateful to you for an
Early reply"

WEST VIRGINIA COAL
MINERS FEUD GROWS
MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST
IN FIGHTING BETWEEN THE
WARNING FACTIONS

WILLIAMSON, w. Va.-The cam
paign of the United Mine Workers to
organize the 5000 miners in the Min
go county bituminous coal fields has
precipitated situation which each
side declares can only end when it
has won complete victory In the
conflicts growing out of this move
IL or more persons have lost their
lives. Wages, apparently, form a
secondary consideration, the battle
being waged around recognition of
the union and the right of mine own
ers to employ private detectives in
and around the mines.
"The men and the operators could
get together and settle this thing
were it not for the question of the
mine guards" said Charles F. Keen
ey, president of District No. II,
United Mine Workers, who is in
command of the union forces. "But
in their present temper these men are
not to be fooled with. Right now
this situation is powder mill"
There is not mine guard in
Mingo county, and there has not been
for years." said George Bausewine,
secretary of the Coal Operators As
ISOLATION, of Williamson. ''Private
detectives are employed asaother cor
porations employ detectives for in
telligence work in and around their
properties. They are not used for
guarding the Mines"
The question Of wages hinges on
the scale paid in the Kanawha field.
The union leaders declare that adop-
ton of this scale would increase the
earnings of the miners in Mingo,
while the operators insist that their
miners, under the scale now in force,
are being paid more than it is pos
sible for the Kanawha miners to
earn. However, little attention is be-
ing paid to that phase of the contro-
versy. Recognition of the union is
the big issue.
The Mingo field includes all of
Mingo county and the mines along
the Kentucky side of Tug river, a
shallow, narrow stream which for
miles. in this region forms the bound
airy between Kentucky and West
Virginia. High mountains rise
abruptly on each side of the river,
their sides covered with a heavy
growth of bushes. Along the mount
ain sides are the drift mines from

which comes the coal, and Nesting
in the narrow valley are the little
towns where live the miners and
their families.
Fully 75 per cent of the miners in
the region are native born, many of
them the descendants of pioneers who
entered the county more than 100
years ago, and who are proud of
their lineage. Some foreign-born
miners can be found in the camps,
while numbers of negroes are en-
/ ployed. Often the miner owns a
small acreage, for which in the plant
ing and harvesting, he will abandon
the mines.
In some places the miners live in
brick cottages each having it's garden
plot and front porch. Such village
is Bordertown, where early this
month miners were fired upon from
the mountainside while going to
work. In other villages the houses
are of frame construction, each set
in its own garden plot, and for which
the miners pay at the rate of two
dollars per month per room.
Williamson, the center of the reg
ion, is pleasantly placed in the valley,
with substantial buildings and good
stores. The Mingo county court
house is one of the best structures,
but the city hall also is a complete
office building, while there is in
course of construction a theatre
which will cost $250,0O0. The 5000
residents of the town very generally
enjoy the prosperity which has come
to the coal trade in the past few
years.
Early in the year the movement to
organize the United Mine Workers
was inaugurated by President Keeney
from district headquarters at
Charleston, and organizers were sent
into Mingo county. They met with
such success that a demand was made
upon the operators for the enforce
ment of the Kanawha scale and rec
ognition of the union. This demand
the operators refused, and the union
called strike. The order, mine OPP
orators say, was answered by from
1880 to 1900 miners, but the union
officials put the figure higher.
The companies, through their law
yers, took the position that the
houses built for the miners who had
gone on strike reverted at once to
the owners.
The miners, in some instances, held
that if the companies wanted the
house of man they must obtain pos
session of it by due process of law.
Numbers of miners were evicted !
from company houses and it was for
that purpose private detectives,
mine guards" the miners term them,
were sent to Matewan, June 10, and
where in the fight which followed !
the eviction of five families, 10 per-
sons were killed.
Many miners, however, moved /

Ancient ROme's Main Street.

along it flowed all that was most in,

OF the imperial city. Thronged bv

IDLE rich. Over its smooth pavement
successful generals, to whom had
been granted the proud privilege OF q
triumph, led their returning armies.

The Via Appia, however, was much
more than city street 1t was the

great Roman military roads Begun
in 3l2 B. c., it ran through one of the
great city gates southwark to Lower

the magnificent Temple of Mars.
Along the thorOughfare TO-DAY are
ruins of once beautiful buildings that

A Volcano At Close Range.

How il feels to be close to q live
volcano is told in an account in the
National Geographic Magazine by
Mr.. Herbert J. Spinden, who was pres
ent at an eruption Of the volcano OF
San Salvador. When the phenomenon
was at its best, says Mr.. Spinden, we
climbed almost four thousand feet up
steep road through maize fields and
coffee plantations to the r,m of the
crater. The thickly peopled valley
rolled out before us as we assembled !;
far below in the distance was Lake
llopango, itself a great crater, and
mountain ridge upon mountain ridge
beyond that. But the sight that we
saw from the rim of the crater almost
overwhelmed our senses.
We stood on the edge Of a great fun
mel, more than a mile in diameter
and a thousand feet deep. The walls
were banded rocks, dull red and dark
gray in color, which showed the rings,
OF growth by which the volcano had
built up its cone. Clinging to the
shelves and sheer cliffs were vines
and trees silvered with ash. In the
dusty centre Of the dried-up lake was
an opening like the mouth Of sunk
en- tube, and from this opening a black
geyser OF cinders and lava fragments
shot up at intervals, with a throaty
noise, while the earth trembled.
When the black geyser had forced
itself to height OF perhaps four hun
dred feet, the steam burst out in let.
Of pure white from the poised mass.
Cinders rained down, and lava slabs
fell like the crinkled ash Of burnt pa
per round the mouth OF the tube
Columns OF white steam almost
blotted out the background as they
blossomed into clouds and rose high
above the rim Of the crater.
AT this time there still were pools
OF violently agitated water near the
margin OF the old lake. Later, when
these were all consumed, the steam
turned to smoke, and at night there
was a marvellous display of fireworks
