outcome OF which appears to be as
uncertain as II was during the mid:
die Of last week.
In the opinion OF Any McComas,
Wyatt miners leader, who dropped
into the Fairmont office Of the Uni.
ted Mine Workers Of America to.
day, he will be the next president
OF sub district 4. At least he says
he bases that on the reports that
he has received from various secre.
tartes OF miners local unions in
the Fairmont region. McComas
says he has been informed that he
has carried ninety.two mines, some
of which, he says, were solid. He
has carried Eyerson and others in
addition to those already credited
to him. McComas. believes he is
leading IN the race. James Nc.
Cleary, district organizer, appears
to be equally optimistic with the
big leads he has in a number Of
larger locals and some Of those in
the Morgantown section. Nick
Aielio, who Is president OF sub dis.
trict 4 at present, has not conceed.
ed his defeat as yet, although in a
number Of locals he appeared to be
running behind. In the race for
vice.president the result IS close
also. The honors lie between Pat.
rick Buckley. the present vice.
president, and j. L. Suddard, Rtves.
Vile. Buckley's supporters believe
he will come through, but personal.
ly he has not expressed himself
that way. Some observers believe
Robert Peters will win out for sec.
rotary and treasurer.
It is said that Frank Mccartney,
Wllsonburg, and Tony Tetie, wy
att, will probably be the two board
members elected. Auditors began
to count the vote at Charleston
this morning, and the result should
be learned by the close Of the week.
Officers OF sub district 8 and 4
conferred with President c. Frank
Kenney in Charleston on Saturday.
After the conference Mr.. Keeney
came to Fairmont and remained
here today. He had nothing to say
in regard to his coming trial at
Berkeley Springs, w. Va, other
than newspaper reports, which in
timated that the case may be post.
poned until February 10, but this
must be sanctioned by the Judge.
According to one report, the wife
OF Attorney Albert Belcher, who
has been retained by the operators
to prosecute the case, is Ill, and
this Is probably the reason asked
for the continuance OF the case.
