payer. city leaders declare.
The amendment in its original
form will now be returned to the

somewhat severe held out little

overruled by the chair in both

Senator Phipps. chairman of the

the committee was not in accord
with the House on the provisions
of the amendment but that it was
agreed something should be decided
upon which would place the Dis

CHARLES. TOWN, W. Va. May 6.
A decisive blow was struck at
the defense in the trial Of william
Blizzard, youthful miners leader.
charged with treason. when Judge
Wood, in ruling here today on a
point of order, held that a con-
spiracy on the part of the miners
had been established by the
prosecution.
This action crushed the hopes of
the defense to have the case thrown
out of court after the prosecution
concluded its testimony on the
grounds that the prosecution had
failed to show high treason against
the government of West Virginia.
The courts ruling came on the
testimony of Jeb F. Stuart, a miner
of Dry Branch, w. Va. He had
given some minor testimony. He
was recalled and asked concerning
some trivial evidence which had
been excluded earlier on the ground
that Billiards name had not been
connected with the alleged con-
spiracy. This time evidence was
admitted when Wood ruled that a
conspiracy had been established by
the prosecution.

ASSESSMENT WORK.

The possibility of a further extensionRof time for doing as sessmen6 work is again becom ing a topic of interest now that we are approaching the end of June. That the matter is one which is already receiving at- tention in Congress may be seen from the following news item:
 Various mining interests have called attention to the fact that it would be desirable for Congress to again suspend the requirement. for performing as sessment work on mining claims. Under the present law this as sessment work must be perform ed within the fiscal year begin ming July 1 and ending June 30 the following year. Assess ment work for 1921-22 must be per formed before June 30, 1922. Due to inactivity in the mining industry and the fact that many mines are closed, it has been pointed out that the requirement to perform assessment work this year will prove a serious hard
 ship. Some months ago it was indicated that Congress would not further suspend the assess ment requirement., but, appre- ciatiug the condition of. the min- ing industry. Senator Stanfield, |, of Oregon, has introduced a re- solution suspending the assess ment work until June 30, 1924. 3
 As to the probable passage of this bill little can be predicted. |. Each year when such bills have come up before Congress there was little known as to what the fate of the bill would be until the last moment. The bill men, toned bove has been introduced early enough this time to allow disposing of it one way or the other to avoid the disagreea ble features of former years.

WHY COMMERCIAL BODIES FAIL

The Los Angeles Chamber of [ Commerce claims to have the record mem bership of any city in the United States.
 Why is Los Angeles growing like a weed? Its unterrifed ambition is to become the New York of the Pacific coast and as sample it annexes a 100 square mile resi- deHce addition.
 That is only part of the days work of the Los Angeles Cham Der of Commerce, and in one re spect that organiza tion is to be commended
 It is not wasting it's energies on outside matters.
 It does not do like many com mercial organizations, exhaust it's energies on national and in ternational problems and affairs of the world
 Commercial bodies fail by try ing to have too many irons in the fire.
 To build it's own city ought to be enough to keep any Chamber of Commerce busy and more of them should confine their ener- gies to that
 Too many commercial organi- cations get spread out all over creation.

The Service Is Yours

WHILE the plant of The Telephone Company belongs the stock holders, the Service belongs to the public; and 1t is under the control of the public to a much larger extent than it could pos siby be controlled by the Company inde- pendently of the public. As matter of fact the telephone or ganization is simply an agency through which community itself If this agency is han1pered by unreasonable legislation, restrictions requirements, or by inadequate revenues, by unjust burdens of taxation, the ability of the agency to properly function is impaired if not wholly destroyed Because of the requirements of the pub lie for efficient and abundant telephone service, the public has very vital interest in the financial health and general we'll being of the Company. With your whoe-hearted moral and financial support the Company can con- tnue to give you the quality and quantity of service you require.
