REPORTER FELLED

ENTER WAR AREA
Both Factions Open Fire
On Squad of Core
spOndents.
By MILDRED MORRIS.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Sept. 4
Four newspaper correspondents who
have the memorable experience Of
penetrating the mountainous region
where war between the miners and
state police has been raging for
nearly two weeks and being the
first to obtain an eyewitness pic
ture of the firing line. were alive
Saturday night by the grace of God.
Under a shower of bullets from
both sides We convinced ourselves
that real war has been going on in
West Virginia. Three times a fusil-
ade of bullets poured on US from the
Springfield rifles of the State gun
men and three times we were fred
on by the miners. And after II was
all over We were taken with our
wounded to Logan under guard.

and a bullet all but penetrated his
scalp. One Of the miners whom We
had persuaded to act as a guide. was
shot in the ankle and is seriously
wounded. When we were able TO
convince the State police that we
merely ON a
sightseeing tour. all military opera
tions ceased while officers stared at
us in amazement. and asked:
How in h-lI we had got there
and what we meant?"
Military passes we presented
from Gen. Bandholtz. representa-
tive Of the War Department. were
scorned.
I'VE don't know nothing about
him. Nobody has told us Federal
troops are here and we haven't
seen them, SO we don't know moth
ing about them" the young officer
in charge Informed me.
Charged with being spies and
'red-necks," we were taken to
State military headquarters in
Logan and after an insulting ex-
animation by Sheriff Don Cham. Of
Logan County. we were ordered
taken to a hotel. Each of us, in
cluding the wounded member Of our
party. was placed in charge of a
guard. who was given orders to
accompany US wherever we went.
Meme of the rest of us was per-
mitted to establish our identity. and
our passes from Gen. Bandholtz
were received with the same scorn
by Sheriff Chain and his attaches
as the officers of the State police
on the battle front had shown.
Saw War without Mercy.
We saw enough on ths firing line
to take away the impression that
the war in West Virginia has not
ended. And from what saw and
from what we we're told, We were
left impressed by the horror OF the
fact that II was not war. as civilized
nations carry against each other,
but war without mercy. carried on
by men lusting for blood.

PRESIDENT HOPES
WAR In MiNGO IS
NEAR CONCLUSION
Bandholtz Reports Min.
ers Surrendering and
Going Home.

President Harding and Secretary
OF War Weeks hope and believe
that the first Labor Day of the pres
ent administration will pass without
the need of Federal bayonets being
hxed on workers.
The concern of the administra-
tion in the West Virginia trouble
has been not only humanitarian
but also. political. There is fresh
in the memory OF the political
counsellors of the party the slogan
OF their Democratic opponents in
the last Presidential campaign:
"A Republican regime will mean,
to labor, arbitration by the
bayonet."
Miners Would Suffer.
And the circumstances of the
West Virginia rebellion are such as
to make it inevitable that, II Fed
eral troops were called upon to
quell the uprising by means of
bayonets, guns and shell-hre, the
objects of such iron measures
would necessarily be mine-workers,
not operators
The political danger in such pro-
ceedings is we'll known and has
played an important part in the
stolid resistance of Harding and
Weeks against Federal martial law
In West Virginia and any oper-
ations to date that meant Federal
forces firing on the miners. This
is one Of the main reasons for the
almost prayerfu1 hope Of admins
tration' leaders that the West Vir-
ginia war" is being Terminated
without bloodshed, insofar as Fed
eral troops are concerned.
Prefer Troops To Police.
The administration spokesman
have repeatedly pointed out, in con-
nection with the West Virginia
trouble, that union mine workers
leaders have Joined with the State
officials in recommending the dis
patch of Federal troops to the war
area" Labor's argument in support
of such action, however, was not
that the miners be quelled by force
of arms, but rather that the pres
ence of government forces in the
State would assure the miners of
their only chance for a square deal
under existing conditions there.
They look to the Federal forces for
effective influence to bring about a
peace based on justice and equity
for both = sides, rather than the
peace" which they claim has ex-
listed, when forced. for years in west
Virginia by the "autocracy" Of the
mine operators.
Harding's position in resisting Is
suance of, a Federal martial law
proclamation and the actual use OF
Federal arms against the miners has
been due to his avowed belief that:
State officials must recognize
their own responsibilities in keep
ing order in their respective states
and not feel free to call for Fed
eral aid every time there is un-
usual trouble.
2-The use Of Federal forces in
a labor dispute is to be avoided to
the limit Of patience and safety lest
there ever arise any doubt that gov
ernment forces are for use only in
extreme emergencies and then strict-
ly for tactical and neutral pur-
poses. aa

partment by officials Sunday that
