Williamson, w. Va, May 14.-The
battle in the mountains of Mingo cum
ty, West Virginia and Pike county,
Kentucky, along the Tug river, which
has ragged for several days, fierce as
it has been, is merely phase of a
greater struggle in which this rich
coal district is locked-the industrial
struggle over the question of unioniz.
ing,or keeping open" the mines.
And that greater struggle is being
waged with every known weapon.
Union miners, on lock out strike
as the leaders describe it, are evicted
from homes owned by the coal COM
panies, to settle nearby on leased land
in tent colonies.
No longer able to trade at the com.
pany commissaries at the various min.
ing towns, they subsist on rations
shipped in by the International union
Deprived of funds as a result of be.
ing out of work, they draw benefits
from the international union.
Propaganda Active
Propaganda is being circulated by
both sides, each blaming the others
for disorders. Acrimonious statements
and charges are launched by support
ers of both factions. Threats and ru-
mors of threats are discussed in -yir.
tually every gathering. Men who have
followed the situation profess to re.
gard it as the most serious that has
arisen since the. trouble. began, not
excepting the Matewan shooting last
May 10 in which ten, were slain. =
The operators are firm in their de
termination to keep. the field open al
any cost. The United Mine Workers
are equally determined in their insist
ence that the struggle must go on un
til their union is recognized
The questions of wages and work
ing conditions also enter into the dis
agreement but these admittedly are
OF minor significance.
Labor Leader Makes Statement
David Robb, International agent oi
the United Mine Workers, who Is
directing union activities in this dis
trict, made public today the frs
statement he has, issued since the in
dustrial warfare iared up again.
"The lockout strike in this. field car
never be settled by thugs and gun
men," declared Mr. Robb, ASSERTING
that the battle which started Thurs
day had been brought about by at
tacks on union miners by non -unior
men now employed In the field.
"A high percentage of the men nov
out are Americans. natives Of thi
district. and they do not propose t,

France Opposed German Action

France Opposed German Action
Paris. May 1l.-France is unaiter-
ably opposed to any German military
operations in Upper Silesia, declared
Premier BRAND.
"Neyer, never could the French gov
ernmant consent to German troops
entering Upper Silesia," the Premier
exclaimed to half Il hundred foreign
correspondents whom he received in
consequence OF Premier Lloyd
Ge0rge's speech yesterday in the
British house OF commons.
Paris, May IA 4.-Newspapers of this
city today expressed deep regret and
considerable surprise over the ad-
dress yesterday of Premier Lloyd
George in the British House of Com
mons during which he severely ar
raigned Poland.
The Petit Parisien declared Mr..
Lloyd George was playing the game
of Germany" and denied the truth Of
the assertion that Indigenous pOpula-
ton of Upper Silesia was German.
No one" it added, has the right,
either in England or France, to dis
regard the rules of common sense or
of coolness."
France does not permit her hand
to be forced" declared the. Echo de
Paris, "and will not permit the indus
trial district which has come to her
eastern ally to be taken away from
her."
The majority of the newspapers
were inclined to think that the words
| Of Lloyd George exceed his thoughts"
and the Journal asked itself if the
British premier did not try to take
revenge for his check on the question
OF reparationS.
Berlin, May 14.-Coiiapse of the
Polish revolt in Upper Silesia is eX-
pected in authoritive quarters there
according to dispatch received here
| from Breslau. Important conferences
! are now in progress and it is be-
lieved that Adalbert Krfanty, leader
of the insurgent Poles, has lost his
fight to secure Upper Silesia for Po-
| land.
a wide gap between declarations Of
General Lerond and the inter-allied
commission on one hand, and news
paper reporters on the other, is EN-
| phaSlZed by VOrWaertS.
This newspaper states its belief
that General Lerond, who has been
head of the inter-allied commission
in Silesia, should have given the pie
biscite area the benefit of some of his
conclusions by demanding allied re-
Inducements equal to the number of
men engaged in the Polish insured
tion.

interest from borrowers.
The effect of this system is stated
by S. S. Fontaine, financial expert,
writing in the New York World:
"The automatic effect of all this
was to drive Victory and Liberty
bonds to sensational depression, to
force the government to borrow at
high rates of interest, and to suspend
the construction of homes throughout
the country"
Former Comptroller of the Curren-
cy Williams and others have warned
the nation that the banks gouging
policy was paralyzing industry, but
the public swung in behind the money
lenders counter movement for wage
reductions. Through every publicity
force that it could command were
heard shrieks that high" wages are
responsible for building depression.
The camoufiage was success. The
public swallowed the hook-also the
