COAL MINERS
CALL FOR AID
Send Appeal to President Hard
ing Asking For Assistance

Washington, Jan. 5-West Virginia
coal miners who say their families are
starving have appealed directly to
President Harding for government
aid. Letters the miners have sent to
the president are contradictory of the
statement issued by Governor Nor
gan Of West Virginia that there is no
starvation among the miners families.
The letter to the president from the
local union Of the United Mine Work
ers at Marfork, West Virginia, says:
AT the meeting Of our local union
located at Marfork, w. Va, the miners
instructed us to- appeal to you for
financial aid to support their wives
and babies. The men have worked
about three months this year. Why
the mines are not running we are un-
able to say.
"The majority or practically all OF
the men who number about 200 are in
destitute condition, some not even
having a meal ahead nor the means OF
obtaining such. The only hope we
have to ward off intense suffering Is
by appealing to our national govern
ment for aid through you"

he had gone to his mother as soon
as he could after he escaped while
with the prison ball team at
Hebron, September 5, 1920, and
had stayed with her every day.
She died six weeks ago.
Smith made a long, circuitous
flight after escaping while on his
honor, but got to his aged mother
at Ottumwa, for whom he always
has professed deep devotion, as
quickly as possible. He told Off

NEST0S WANTS
ACTION ON HIS
ECONOMY PLAN
Governor Asks County Auditors
to Send in Reports Upon
Economies Enforced
RECEIVES COOPERATION
All Replies Sound Good, He Says
in Letter-QuestiOns High
Expense Wisdom Now

Governor R. A. Nestos today dis
patched letter to county auditors
asking for report upon what boards
of county commissioners have done
to effect governmental economies.
Many letters of cooperation have
( been received by the Governor since
he dispatched his circular to the
boards Of commissioners asking that
they cooperate in reducing the tax
burden in the state. The effort Will
not stop with this appeal, however,
the Governor indicated in his letter
to auditors. He wishes to have a
specific report upon the various
boards.
II have already had some replies 70
this letter and without exception
promise Of cooperation" the Govern
or wrote. 1T is, however, very I'M
portant that we should make this ca
operation as specific as possible ana
to have it follow very definite lines
and am hoping in case we have a
response from all of the boards OF
county commissioners, through the
county auditors, to, compile statistics
Of recommendations made and actions
taken by the boards wish, there
fore, that as soon as the January meet
ing of the board closes you would
write me and state just what your
board has lone and is doing along
this lire; what reductions and elin-
nations can be made and will be made
by them during the coming year ana
also what promises of cooperation they
have had from the township, village,
city and school, districts of your coun-
ty, together with an estimate OF
what saving will result from this
course"
The Governor also asked advice of
the commissioners with regard to
road building programs.
Il have been in the past, and still
am, strong believer in the need and.
desirability of building good roads
and hope that in the years to come
North Dakota may lead the states OF
the Union in its road building pro-.
gram; but with the conditions exist
ing at the present time was won
dering whether it would not be policy
to curtail the road-building also for
one or two years until We get our
finances in better shape.
II wish that you would call this to
the attention of the county commits
sioners and let me have the benefit
of their advice in regard thereto"
