NAMED BY
WILD LIFE LEAGUE

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Dec. u.
Officers were. elected and a recon.
mendation was made that a state
park be established in Charleston

League began its first annual
meeting here today.

ing, president: a. H. Haynes,
Clarksburg, vice-president, and E.
G. Dawley, Charleston, treasurer.
A. B. Brooks, chief game warden
Of West Virginia, made the recon-
mendation that a state park be
provided in Charleston. This
should be done, he said, because
Charleston is the capital of the
state and none Of the several state
parks is near here. He urged that
the Wild Life League support a
movement for the park as a state
project.
Charles B. Johnson, Clarksburg,
retiring president Of the associa.
ton, outlined the problems Of con.
servation Of wild life, reforestation,
water pollution and game propaga.
ton and urged that laws govern.
dng these subjects be passed by the
legislature The association later
was to discuss its recommendations
for legislation.
The state wild filters voted to
affiliate with the American Game
Protective Association and the Ma.
tional Audubon Society.

OPERATORS AND
MINERS DISAGREE
Outcome of Conference in
Chicago Yesterday Gener-
ally Predicted.

AS predicted by The West Vir.
gilman and expected generally
practically nothing was accom-
plished at the operators-miners'
conference which broke up in Chi
cago yesterday although decision
was reached to meet again there
on January 3, instead OF in CleYe-
land, as originally planned.
Two propositions, were' present
ed and both were turned down
The operators presented a plan
for district agreements and a fiex-
ible wage scale, which was reject
ed by the miners. On the other
hand the operators refused to &C.
cept the old Central Competitive,
or four states agreemnt, when
presented by G. W. Savage Of the
Ohio miners.
The feeling In coal circles Is
that little II anything will be done
until The Faet-FindIng Commits
sion created by an act Of Congress
makes Its report which is expect
ed early in January. but it is not
believed that the work which il
so comprehensive, can be complet-
ed by that time. Local coal COM
panies have received their ques-
tionnaires for information, which
will take weeks to compile, they
say. ~
Whether Presiden. Lewis will
take a different stand after his re-
election on December IL by the
minGs is a question, but II what
Ellis B. Searles editor OF the Unit
ed Mine Workers Journal said in
Philadelphia recently, is adhered
to the coal miners, will not be
willing to have their wages cut.
With both. sides, sparing for
time until the Federal Fact-Find.
ing Commission reports, little can
be hoped for. until the advent OF
the new year.
