GOV. MORGAN is SCORED
BY EDITOR AT HEARING
H. G. Ogden Says He "Sat Stilp'
and Even Stood in Way of
Mine Legislation.

The course of Gov. Morgan of West
Virginia with respect to mine disor-
ders in His state was criticised before
the Senate investigating committee
today by H. C. Ogden. publisher of the
Wheeling News and the Wheeling In
telligencer.
The West Virginia governor. Mr.
Ogden declared, had sat stilr' on a
party platform pledging abolition of
the mine guard system and not only
had not pressed such legislation, but
had stood in it's path
Mr.. Ogden also told the committee
that effective use of the state con-
stabulary by the governor would have
obviated the necessity for calling in
federal troops in the recent condi-
tions of violence. He said the COVER
nor had no powr to remove summarily
state and local authorities who fail to
function properly. and that had state
executive such powers he believed
some of the situations leading to the
uprising might never have occurred. ,
Reorganization of the state militia,
now in process, will end much of the
trouble, the Wheeling publisher be-
lieved. He expressed the opinion
that federal troops never would be
needed again.
Mr.. ogden was not optimistic con-
cerning absolute stoppage of the
trouble in the mine districts, al
though he said they may not recur in
the Intensity of the last eighteen
months. He predicted there would
be a renewal of the controversies
| next spring. when the biennial wage
contracts expire -.
