Vice President of Mine
Workers Puts New
Light on Row
HAD ACCEPTED ORDERS
But When They Returned
Home Guards Attacked
Their Homes
(By Associated PressD

Charleston, W. Va, Sept. Phil
lip Murray, international vce-presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, today gave out the follow
ing formal statement on the West
Virginia situation as representing the
views of the mine workers union:
"After making a survey.o of the en-
tire situation in the disturbed sec
tions of West Virginia, am forced
to conclude that there is but one
solution to the whole question as it
affects the citizenry of the state of
West Virginia, and that is complete
abolition of the mine guard and
Baldwin-Feltz system now in general
use throughout the non-union coal
mining fields of this state.
Despite any statement that might
be made to the citizenry by the gov
ernment of the state of West Vir-
ginia, evidences of the brutality Of
the mine guards and Baldwin-Feltz
agencies can be found in the non
union territory of West Virginia
My personal judgement is that the
presence of federal troops in the
disturbed sections will result in i'm
mediate quiet being restored. The
men engaged in the present conflict
against the governors misuse of
power welcome with open arms the
coming of federal troops. They be-
leve that their presence in this field
will at least assure them, their wives
and families protection from assas-
sination at the hands of this armed
band of desperadoes.
Miners Agree to Go Home
1T is not generally understood,
but it is nevertheless true, that on
August 26 these citizens entered into
an agreement with General Band !
holtz and President Keeney to dis
perse peaceably and return to their /
homes with the distinct understand |
ing that their lives would be pro-
tected by following out the terms of !
the agreement.
"The miners, in good faith, did |
disperse and did return to their
homes, but not quite "a hours after
they had returned an armed band of |
men, consisting of members of the
state constabulary and deputies from
Logan county, crept into the town of ,
Sharples in the dead of the night
when the men, women and children
of the community were in their beds
and when those armed thugs had COM
pleted their nights work they had
killed two members of the United
Mine Workers of America, injured
another two" .--
Murray declared the ranks of the
fighters were not made up solely of
of the United Mine Work
ers.
They consist of "miners, railroad
men, merchants, doctors, ministers
of the gospel and almost every ele-
ment of the citizenship of those COM
and throughout the state
is represented in the forces that are
fighting for the establishment of true
law and order in the state, he de-
rlared. .-,- 81. 81. :,

who said they had just come down
from the front.
The wounded men who were in
charge of a group from the forces at
Blair, each wearing a red cross on
his arm, were later placed aboard
train for Hansford, W. Va, where
the men said they were to be placed
in the Sheltering Arms hospital, a
miners institution.
The men refused to discuss events
in the diturbed district other than
to say that when they left there this
afternoon fighting was continuing on
Blair mountain and if anything was
more severe than at any time this
week. --,.---.r ..ses-

I do not wish TO be obstinate,

Bar Association Would
Have Congress Function

CINCINNATI, Sept. 3-Conhicting
views on the power of the national
government to control aeronautics
caused heated debate before the con-
vention Of the American Bar Associ-
alton late today wher .he report Of
the committee on the law OF avia-
tion was received and finally adopt
ed after numerous substitute reso-
lutions had failed.
The report advocated that the bar
association give \ attention to "the
fundamental problems OF jurispru-
dence" without venturing into the
field of practical aviation and left
the question of legislation open to
Congress Legal questions involved
in air legislation must first be de-
cided before the details of control
were settled, the committee said.
The proposition that 1t was an In
vasion on the rights OF private own
ership OF property to utilize the air
for flying was challenged by the re-
port. which was presented by Charles
A. Boston. of New York. chairman
OF the committee. I'VE submit that
It should be the law that 1t is not
an invasion Of private rights If flight
is accomplished without jeopardizing
any right usually enjoyed in the
ownership OF land, the report said.
Voicing strenuous objection to a
report which he said 'leads no man
anywhere" william " Rocker, OF
Indianapolis, declared adoption OF
the report would mean "20 years"
delay on one Of the most important
questions before the American
people. He contended that the at
mosphere was common property ana
that its control was lodged in the
admiralty. He offered a resolution
stating the opinion that jurisdiction
was lodged In the admiralty and
providing for appointment OF a com
mittee to give assistance to Congress
in preparation Of bills conforming to
that opinion.
This resolution was later defeated
after much debate.
That Congress should come into
being Immediately on its election
that the electors should meet at the
earliest practical date to cast their
votes for President and Vice-Presi-
dent; that Congress should meet al
the earliest practical date to count

President should be inauguratec
