Union Heads Are
Blamed for Army
in Mining Zone
Chairman of Operators As
ISOLATION Rebukes Gompers
In Statement.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Cf tctals
Of the United Mine Workers OF
America, were charged with respon-
sibility for the invasion OF Logan
county and the proposed invasion
Of Nnngo county by armed miners. ="
in a statement issued here Monday
night by Harry Olmsted. chairman
OF the operators association OF the
Williamson field. The statement
was declared 20 be in answer 20
that Of Samuel Gompers, president
OF the American Federation Of
Labor, which Mr.. Olmstead describ-
ed as "hypocritical and in many IN
stances false and misleading"
Mine guards and private detec-
tives are not employed By operations
in the Williamson field. Mr.. Ohm
stead said. adding that Mr.. Comp
ers had deliberately misrepresent-
ed conditions that have preceded
and surrounded the attempt at
armed invasion"
The charge Of Mr.. Gompers that
the uprising had been caused by the
failure OF the operators to put into
effect the award of the government
wage board was characterized as
another falsehoOd.
Gompers Misleading, He Says.
The mine operators were under
no obligation TO do So the state
ment said, They having no sort of
connection with the coal fields COW
cred by that award.
Nevertheless, the increases al
lowed by the United States govern
ment were adopted IN this field
promptly after the amount Of in
crease had been fixed. 1t has never
before been alleged that the strike
in the Williamson field was due TO
wage adjustments or any cause
other than to compel recognition
Of the United Mine Workers organi-
zation.
Coal is measured rather than
weighed in this field because 1t is
the easiest and most satisfactory
method Of accounting between the
minexs and employers. The men
have never asked TO have the sys-
tenn changed. They don't want It
changed.
Earnings Are Real Test.
The earnings per day, or week
or month, is the real test. Such a
statement comparing the earnings IN
the Williamson field with those IN
the unionized Kanawha field were
submitted 10 the senatorial investi-
eating committee in July. Possibly
it was envy aroused by that expos
ure that caused the Kanawha min
ers 10 attempt an invasion Of the
non-union coal fields.
Mr.. Gompers makes himself
ridiculous TO West Firginians when
he makes his plea about the miners
protesting against lawlessness, inso-
far, at least, as he refers TO the
United Mine Workers. The miners
themselves are generally law abid-
ing. Every disorder that has ever
occurred in the mining fields OF
West Virginia has been caused BY
tae thugs and outlaws OF the mine
workers organization, who came
into the state TO compel the unioni-
zation Of these coal fields.
The invasion of Logan county
and the threatened invasion OF
Mingo county was not spontaneous
uprising. 1t was threatened by the
United Mine Workers organization
in the Williamson field as early as
April and May 1920"

mosphere OF optimism and with as
much enthusiasm as might reason
ably be expected from so sober a
body. II was demonstrated at the
outset that the popular branch Of
the league was meeting free from a
prearranged program.
The assembly was called to order
and heard the opening address Of
DR.. Wellington Koo, OF China, with
out having any idea as to who might
be selected as permanent president.
Half a dozen candidates had been
vaguely mentioned in the last few
days, but the real canvass of posi-
bilities began only Sunday with the
arrival Of the important delegations.
Elect Committee.
The only business transacted in
the morning was the election Of
committee on credentials. and it was
not until the luncheon recess that
the delegates could exchange notes
as to their choice OF presiding Off
Ger. South America came forward
with Dr. Gastow da Cunha, Of Bra
I'll. and DIR. Juan Carlos BlancO. Uru-
guayan minister at Paris. while there
was a very important movement in
favor of H. a Van Karnebeek. the
Dutch minister Of foreign affairs,
who was eventually elected TO the
presidency.

objects OF attention when DIR. Koo
welcomed them TO the assembly.
Count Mensdorff was further non
ored by his selection as the first Of
all the officials of the assembly when
he was named on the committee on

in the delegation. which included
Emil Willard. of France; Christine
Bonnevi, of Norway; Henni Torch
ammer. Denmark; Mile BacareschO.
Rumania; Bibath Kosha. Siam, and
Nine. Wicksel, Sweden.
The United States had a larger
representation at the opening of the
assembly than ANY other country in
the world except Switzerland, but it
was in the galleries. The secretariat
Of the league had been deluged with
requests from Americans visiting
Switzerland for cards of admission,
but could grant only IS. of which
two were present as unofficial OBJ

HOUSE BATTLES
SIZE Of ARMY

Washington, May 6.-The house
showed it's determination Friday to
speed up reduction Of the size Of the
army to 10000 men by agreeing to
an amendment to the army appropria-
ton designed to facilitate the discharge
of enlisted men. Offered by Repre-
sentative Hull, of Iowa, Republican
member Of the military committee, the
amendment directs the secretary of
war to grant application for discharge
"under reasonable regulations" pre-
scribed by the war department.
The amendment was opposed by
Chairman Anthony. of the subcommit
tee in charge of the army budget bill
who said it was letting down the bars
too far, but was adopted, 1O8 to 81.
The house also approved another
amendment offered by Mr.. Hull to dis
continue payment of 500 bonus to
soldiers who re-enlisted. 1t was es-
timated that in normal times it cost
81 SOC, 600 year to pay such bonuses.
The specific provision was inserted
today in the bill that the army must
be cut down to 10000 maxamum
as soon as practicable.
