sertions in semi official discussion that
the government did not expect the
meeting to bring about a strike set
tlement itself, but to recommend, If
possible to associates and organiza-
tons represented by those present, a
further course which might be follow
cd and which might result in settle
ment.

BRISTOL, Va. Dec. 27.-A feud
among the moonsh!ners of the
Holston Mountains in which two
men are said to have lost their
lives; and several were wounded.
has been reported to local police
officers. Conditions are said to
have become so acute in the Rye
Patch community on the top of
the main range of the Holstons that
the mountaineers hesitate TO leave
their cabins unless they are heav-
lily armed.
Two men have been reported miss
ing for three weeks and they are
believed to have lost their lives in
the fighting. The trouble arose,
IL is claimed. over rivlary engen-
dered in the sale of liquor. The
community is split into two fac

other is infringing on its selling

An account of the situation has
reached Sheriff Joe Thomas and he
is now engaged in an investiga-
ton. Great difficulty Is encoun-
tered. however, in getting informa-
ton from the mountain folk. When
an officer asks questions they be-
come mute and backward.
Due to the activities Of Sheriff
Thomas and his deputies, II Is said
that less liquor is being made in
the mountains of this section than
in months. Since taking office
more than 100 raids have been made
by the sheriff. and MANY prisoners
have been captured. Seizure Of
