Abolition Of Mine Guard system

washington, Oct. 2S.-The course Of
"overnor Morgan. of West Virginia.
with respect to mine disorders in his
state was criticized before the Senate
Investigating Committee today by II. G.
ogden, publisher of the Wheeling News
and the Wheeling Intelligencer.
The West Virginia Governor. Mr..
Ogden declared, had ''snt still" on n
party platform pledging abolitio nof the
mine guard system and not only hat,
not pressed such legislation. but hau
stood in its path.
Mr.. Ogden also told the committee
that the effective use of the State Com
stabulary by the Governor would have
obviated the necessity for calling in
Federal troops in the recent conditions
OF violence. Reorganization of the
State Militia, now in process, will end
much of the trouble. the Wheeling pub
Usher believed. He expressed the opin-
ion that Federal troops never would be
needed again.
