CLAIMS STRIKES
ALL INJURIOUS
Mccullough AssaiIs WaIkouts
in Address Today to
Rotarians.

AT today's weekly meeting of the
Rotary Club at the Y. NJ. c. a..
President Bob Miller announced
the appointment of j. NJ. Jacobs
and Ernest Mccoy as delegates and
]. NJ. Hartley and Reed Crane as
alternates to the international con
vention of Rotary to be held IN
Los Angeles early in June. The foui
members and their families. will
make up a party which will attend
the convention.
Two Fairmont High School grad
yates, members Of the c. D. Robin
son Glass OF 1922. attended today's
luncheon, with their class sponsor
Mr.. Robinson and read their prize
winning class essays on Ideal
Americanism or What Constitutes
an Ideal American These young
persons were Miss Mildred Ford,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John B.
Ford, and Owen CLANCY son of DR.,
and Mrs. T. H. CLANCY. Rotarians
were keenly pleased with their ar
ticIes and roundly applauded them
The feature of the meeting today
was the speech delivered by E. S.
Mccullough of the Northern West
Virginia Coal Operators Associa-
ton, bearing on the coal industry
in which the speaker gave espec1nl
emphasis to the present contro-
versy. Mr.. Mccullough absolved
local operators or any faction OF
the industry from responsibility
for his statements and then pro
ceeded to express many vital and
important facts having to do with
the tie-up of the mines and result
ant injury throughout every phase
OF the nations industrial activities
Mr.. McCullough's conviction,
based on his statements. is that
a coal strike or any strike has no
foundation of right and that every
controversy of the present serious
ness, affecting as it does the cltt-
zenship of the land in far more
harmful ways than may generally
be appreciated. should be subserV-
lent to governmental ADJUDICATION.
He claimed, in effect. that the ma
ton will never be free OF the strike
evil until striking has been made
legally impossible and that str!k-
ing is considered legally as well as
morally wrong as any other affront
to the nations clean citizenship
Mr.. McCullough's speech was one
of the strongest as well as .unprel, :,
udiced to either side of the coal
controversy ever heard by local
RotarianS.
