lice and will form a volunteer ad-
junct of the State constabulary
which is now patrolling the trou-
blsd zone.
For nearly year the ordinary

by two periods of control by Fer
eral troops. In less than a year
forty men have been shot down in
the guerrilla warfare. according to
the count of the operators.

sary of the battle of Mstewan,'

somewhat today but all along the
trouble zone was much concern and
the State police on this side and the
militia of the Kentucky side re-
doubled their patrol activities.
There was no firing today ex-
cept an occasional signal shot from
the hil1tops where sentinels ktep
watch on the valleys.
Nearly all the mines were op.
Grating and there were signs of ac-
tNity around nearly every tipple
along the road. From Merrick to
Album. just above Matewan. rid

where last weeks fight was hardest.
Want Law Restored.
Ordinary folks in the towns say
and which side wins. but they do
want the shooting stopped and law
restored.
The operators, answering one Of
the charges of the union leaders.
deny that outsiders have been i'm
ported to serve as mine guards
The operators declare they have
made no discrimination against
union men. but they decline TO deal

M'CORM mick BILL
PLANS TO GROUP
BUREAU SERVICES
New Senate Measure Is
Similar to Kenyon
Welfare Act.

AS the second step in his program
of government reorganization, the
first of which was the introduction
several weeks ago of bill provid-
ing for a budget system and inde-
pendent audit of accounts, Senator
Medill Mccormick. of Illinois, yes
terday introduced a bill for the
establishment of a Department of
Public welfare.
The action was taken a little in
advance of the regular process in
order that the Joint Congressional
Committee on Education and Labor,
which is considering the Kenyon
bill for a similar department, might
have the beneft of Senator McCor-
mick's plans.
Would Group Activities.
As does the Kenyon bill. that of
Senator Mccormick provides for the
grouping of public health, educa-
tional and social welfare activities.
Provision for the establishment of
Department of Public Works,
grouping all important engineering
and building services of the gov
ernment now scattered among vari-
Gus departments. This feature of
the reorganization program would
be referred to the Joint Senate and
House Committee which has been
considering legislation of that
character.
Senator Mccormick and Represen-
tative Good called upon President
Harding last night in reference to
the budget bill and it was later
announced that this measure prob
ably would be brought out of COM
mittee next week and pushed to its
passage.
Early Report Expected.
The Joint Educational Committee
Is expected to complete its work
next week and make an early re-
port. Whatever the committee re-
ports probably will provide for the
taking in of the womans bureau of
the Department of Labor, the PEN
sion Bureau of the Interior Depart
ment. the public health service, the
war risk insurance bureau and the
vocational training board.
In the REORGANIZATION plan the
Department of Interior may be
abolished. as well as the Depart
ment of Labor, and Secretary Fall
of the former probably would be
Secretary of Public Works. Sena-
tor Mccormick said no additional
department is established in his re-
organization plan.

Approximately 740 prohibition en-

much better and plans for leaving
the hospital were under way.
Early this morning he suffered
another heart attack and died be-
fore his widow and brother could
reach his side.
Mr.. Lane was universally regard
ed as one Of the strongest men in
former President Wilson's Cabinet
and because Of his executive abil-
ity as well as his appealing per-
sonality was called upon by Wilson
for counsel in some of the most
pressing problems before the ad-
ministration. He was repeatedly
drafted in settling labor problems,
being the foremost figure in the
negotiations over the threatened
railroad strike just previous to the
passing of the famous eight-hour
law in 1915 and again in drafting
the national wage agreements be-
tween the railroad employees and
former Director General McAdoo

when Mr.. Lane resigned from the
Wilson Cabinet efforts were made
to construe the act as a break with
Wilson. There was no foundation
for this however, as Mr.. Lane, while
not always agreeing with the Pres
ident, had a profound respect and
admiration for him. This friend
ship was put to a test during the
war when Mr.. Lane. acting on be-
half of he government. sought to
fix prices of coal to be used by
the go'Ternment Secretary of War
Baker repudiated the prices estab-
ltsheS by Mr.. Lane, something Of an
inrta-Cabinet conflict arose. and Mr..
Wilson supported Mr.. Baker in a
public letter to Mr.. Lane.
Mr.. Lane was tremendously inter-
ested in Americanization work and
was responsible for many of the
movements which got under way
both during and after the war in
Americanizing immigrants.
