MINERS May
MARCH AGAIN
Gather at SCOTS Run to Protest Re-
ported Agreement on Open
Shop Basis

Morgantown. w. Va, Jan. s.
Sheriff William Yost left this after
noon for the SCOTS Run coal field
between here and Fairmont, where
his office is and announced miners
were congregating with the avowed
intention of marching into the Gus
tom Run territory as a protest
against an alleged agreement of the
miners of the Gilbert-Davis mine to
work on a non union basis.
1t was also reported to the Sheriff
that some 200 men early today made
demonstration against the Bunker
Hill mine, which is said to have
been operated on non-union basis
for several months, and induced the
men to go out. Later reports to him
were that men at the Almina mine in
the same neighborhood had been
called out. The center of activity,
it was stated, was Osego.
After investigating the occurrences
of the morning, Sheriff Yost declined
to take action against the men un-
less warrants charging them with Vi
olation of the law were given him,
his office stated; Co.
z. n. Gilbert. president of the
Gilbert Davis Coal Company said
there was no truth in reports that its
mine was to be opened today on an
open shop agreement.
indianapolis, Jan. 5.-The meeting
of coal operators of the Central com
petitive field with officers of the
United Mine Workers Of America,
was called to meet at Pittsburgh
Friday, by John l.. Lewis, president
Of the union.
The Pittsburgh meeting was called
for the purpose Of fixing date for
holding negotiations on wage
agreement to become effective next
April, and Mr.. Lewis, in formal
statement. declared the meeting was
abandoned because the operators re
fused to meet with the miners.
Mr.. Lewis added that the union
would be ready to meet with the op-
orators whenever possible, but he said
il would have been futile to hold the
Pittsburgh meeting because opera
tors in Western Pennsylvania and the
two largest Ohio districts had re-
fused to participate in it.

SAY COL. OPIE
SHOT TWO MEN
Former Battalion Commander Says
He Is Victim Of Diseased
Mind

Washington, Jan. AT hearing
that produced many drastic moments,
two former service men, one from
Baltimore and the other from Lynch
burg, Va, told the Senate investigat-
ing committee today that Major H. l..
Opie, of Staunton, Va, commander
of a battalion of the One Hundred
and Sixteenth infantry during the
war, had shot in the back and killed
two of his men.
Major Opie now a colonel in the
Virginia National Guard and who was
decorated for bravery in France, sat
within few feet of the former sold
iers as they testified before the com
mittee investigating charges of Sen
ator Watson, of Gorgia, against the
conduct of the war.
The tension was at its highest when
William E. st. John, of Lynchburg
Va, turned on John A. Cutchins, OF
Richmond, attorney for Major Opie
and who served with him in the war
began his examination. Mr.. St
.John, who, admitted he was very nery-
Gus and tired, almost shouted:
II know what you are driving at;
Just go ahead. You are insnuatine
that I am nuttly in the head. Now
you just insinuate it one more time
I'll match my mind against yours any
time"
MY dear sir ! have nothing but
the kindest feeling for you; | am not
trying to embarrass YOU smiling re-
piled Mr.. Cutchins.
Grayson H. Withrow, of lIl4 Re-
treat street, Baltimore, and Mr.. St
John were the other witnesses today
against Major Opie, but many moro
are 20 follow
Each witness, under, cross examina
ton, was unable to furnish numerous
details about corelater incidents, but
they testified unequivocally that
Major Opie had shot two of his com,
mand. Mr.. Withrow said he was
kneeling in shell hole when he saw
Major Opie grab rifle out of q
soldiers hand and shoot down another
soldier who was en- route toward the
rear.
Mr.. st. John said he saw Major
Opic kill runner from the front lines
to the rear when the messenger re,
fused to halt at Opie's command. He
accused Major Opie of taking tho
message from the pockets of the deac
man. In this case, he said, Major
Opie used his .45 automatic pistol.
Asked if he was testifying about tht
same killing as Mr.. Withrow, the wit
ness said he didn't know, as he hadn't
heard the previous testimony. but tht
stories of the two men later diverget
to indicate that they were not at
tempting tell Of the same alleged
occurrence.
After the hearing closed late today
Major Opic told several spectators:
Il am the victim of diseased minds
These boys have never seen any sucf
thing. We will bring a hundred mer
of my command here to prove that NJ
such things ever happened, yet my
name Is pIastered all over the news
papers on these charges"

French acquiescence in the Amerl-
can view on submarines, assuming
that the way is now paved for adop-
ton of the Root resolutions with the
Balfour amendment, presages world
conference on submarines that VIII go
far to remove the menace OF under-
seas warfare, in the opinion of Amerl-
can naval experts.
1t is we'll known that this govern
ment is most anxious to extend the
scope of the Root resolutions to take
in every nation capable of building

equally well known that the French
in the last two weeks have also. been
agitating such a course. Informal con-
versations on the subject have al
ready taken place and it is the CON
fident belief here that if the Root
ed that this conference, before 1t ad-
resolutions are adopted unemasculat-

ference that will take in every naval
power and which. will be asked to
ratify the Root resolutions, thus pro-
