Into TaUo Coal Districts

COLUMBUS, July 20 (By The Asso-
ciated Press Governor Davis late to-
day ordered National Guard troops now
modified TO proceed Immediately into
the coal mining districts and also or
dcred additional units modified.
Three infantry companies, one ma
chine gun company and enc motor
transport company began entraining
INN ediately for Cadiz, Harrison Coun-
ty. for use in the Eastern coal fields.
Another company of infantry az Lam
easter will be held in readiness for op-
Grafton in the southern fields.
Harrison Sheriff Asks for Help
The troops are not to be sent di-
rectly to the mines, but are to be
held at Cadz and Lancaster for quick
movements to points where they may
be required, Governor Davis said. In
directing the troop movement the Elk
ecutive said urgent appeals had come
to him from both the Sheriff and Pros
ecuting Attorney of Harrison County,
as they considered local means made
ouate to insure order in that terri
tory.
BY stationing troops at Cadiz, Gov
enor Davis said they would be within
easy reach of Belmont, Jefferson and
Guernsey counties besides Harrison, in
the Eastern field, and by stationing
them at Lancaster they would be
readily accessible to Perry, Athens and
Hooking counties, in the southern field
"By locating modified troops in such
close proximity to the mines them
selves the state will be able TO exert
its authority in enforcing lawful con-
duct to more speedy effect than if they
are considerable distance removed
therefrom," Governor Davis said.
New National Guard units ordered
modified are Company G, 166th In
fantry, Lancaster; Infantry Company
f, of Marysville and Machine Gun
Company II, of Chillicothe. The
last two units, with Company
X, Delaware, and Company L,
166th Infantry, Columbus, and the
145th Motor Transport Company, of
Columbus, previously modified, began
entraining ct once for Cadiz. They
will be under command of Colonel
Robert Haubrich and are expected to
reach Cadiz before tomorrow morn
ing. Governor Davis said other troops
would be- modified if conditions in
dictate the necessity for it.
Besides troops affected by to-day's
awaiting orders, one infantry company,
one machine gun company, both at
GAINESVILLE, and a wagon company at
Columbus.
Feeling Against Troops Reported
Sheriff o. K. Martin, of Harrison
County over lone distance telephone at
midnight said that he knew Of no gath
ering Of armed miners at Hopedale
and Adena, Ohio, or at any other point
He said, however, there was intense
feeling against bringing in troops and
that there might BIO an outbreak "most
any time"
Two wounded and thirty Ohio Ma
tional guardsmen left here aboard a
special train shortly before midnight
on their way to Cadiz. in accordance
with the order of Governor Davis.
The Consolidated Coal and Coke
Company, the owner of 100000 tons of
slack coal near New Straitsvile, Perry
County, to-day sent an open letter to
Governor Davis declaring it wished to
resume operations and asking for mill
tary protection for it's workers.
Should the Governor refuse to fur
nish military protection the company
said it would appeal directly to Presi-
dent Harding for Federal military pro-
lection.
In its letter the company said that it
wished to resume operations under the
invitation extended by President Hard
ing, but that because of previous in
cidents, protection would be necessary
