 Movement of federal forces took place without untoward incident, Gen eral Bandoltz advised the War Do partment. He added that the resi- dents of the disturbed areas received the troops in spirit of ffiendlinesS.
 Meanwhile the issuance of procla- nation declaring marial law in the areas into whaeh troops were moved was held up. Secretary Weeks on leaving his office for the day said 'the issuance of martial law proclama- tion will be governed by conditions.
 Indications that federal officials view the West Virginia situation in an optimistic light were seen in the CunCcllaI1On pl bTutIS HoliiiS iihihS in readiness 10 move the 10th In fantry from Camp Dix.

 President Harding left on his Va cation trip, which it had been an nouneed he would not take if the West Virginia situation demanded his prtsencc in Washington after con ferring with Secretary Weeks. The war secretary has been given final authority to promulgate the martial law proclamation if conditions as re- ported by General Bandholtz make it advisable.
