CHARLESTON. w. Va. Aug. 21- State and federal authorities were a unit tonight in declaring that the of miners from Marmet to Mtngo county as a protest against Governor Morgan's martial law had ended and hundreds of the men al ready were back home.
 Brigadier General H. H. BandholtZ. who came here from Washington to conditions for the war de- pertinent in answer to Governor Morgan's request for federal troops, drove from Charleston tosRacine over the line of march taken by the min ers earlier in the week and expressed as being convinced that the jig is up." He addressed a party of miners at Racine, who were waiting for train to take them home, and after further investigation along the line returned to Charleston to pre- pare his report for Washington. Much confusion was occasioned dur ing the afternoon by reports from Mingo county. and Welch. McDowell county. that Sheriff Don Chain of Logan county had sent out a hurried call for assistance. and that forces of the state police and deputies had been hurried to Logan by automobile.
 As all information reaching gov ernment sources from Logan county was to the effect that the situation there was quiet this movement of re- Inducements was not explained until 1t became known in Welch after Sheriff Hatfield and his men had departed for Logan, that the march had been broken up and that the men were on their way home.
 The movement of the state police from Williamson was explained bS the fact that fears were felt in some quarters that stragglers from the now disbanded army" might remain ir Boone county. and the presence o the force would be needed there tC help Sheriff Hill and his three or foui deputies to clear up the situation There was no official statement or this point but the assumption wa: borne out by people in Logan wher Captain J. R. Brockus and his troop CTS rode through the town on theil way to the Boone county border.
 A statement with reference to the march and it's consequences wa: issued by General Bandholtz tonight in which h. stated that he placed th' responsibility directly up to tho United Mine Workers officials fol this district. It said in part:
 'In the present instance I have no' made an effort to obtain evidence with which to definitely place respon- sibili,y with any person or persons A defiance Of the law has been com mitted hy body of men mainly com posed of members of the United Mine Workers of America. I have there fore acted upon the assumption that the leaders of that organization, re- gardless of the question of their per- sonal attitude, must be held respon- sible for the act of the members ot the society which they have created and represent.
 Tt is a fixed administrative prin- ciple that leadership not only has is: prerogative but carries with it re sponsibility for the action of subor- dinates. It was entirely in view o' this that Messrs. Keeney and Mooney were summoned to a conference anC determinedly but courteously in formed that in case martial law wa. declared. they and others would b' held responsible for the acts com mitted by the Iaw-breakinS member of their organization.
