Washington, May 16.-Secretary
Weeks would not indicate tonight
what attitude he would adopt to-
ward the request of Governor Nor
row, of Kentucky, that federal
troops be sent into the Tug river
district of the Kentucky-West Vir-
ginia border, pending receipt of the
telegram.
The telegram. the secretary ex-
planned, had not been received and
he reiterated that all reports from
Major Thompson, the war depart
ment's observer in the strike area,
indicated that conditions there were
not sufficiently serious to require
the use of federal troops. The de-
partment, the secretary added,
would continue to be guided largely
by the observations of its official
observer.
