MT. GRETNA TODAY
Governor to Watch National
Guard in Its Training at
Camp Duffy
NO MORE TROOPS AT MINES

BIZ a STAG Correspondent
Mount Gretna, Pa. July 27.-Brig-
adler General Edward G. Shannon and
Adjutant General Frank 7. Beary re-
turned to Camp Duffy last night after
tour of the coal fields.
General Shannon said Governor
Sproul would visit the camp at IL 80
o'clock this afternoon.
1--WE called Governor Sproul from
Pittsburgh" General Shannon said,
'and outlined the situation. I don't
believe present conditions warrant the
calling Of additional troops to that
section of the State. But we have
utilized every troop and unit on the
field
'"The Governor will inspect the camp
nt work. l suggested that he review
the troops, but he said he would
rather see the men in the course of
training"
Cavalry Prepares to Move
At Colebrook, three miles west Of
here. the 1O3d Cavalry, which would
be the first regiment to move should
more troops be required in the strike
zone, was astir with preparations to
move at short notice.
Although numerous accidents have
been reported since the opening OF
the encampment, medical officers today
said the percentage was normal. All
cases of sicknes reported have resulted
from Overeating after strenuous excr-
ton on the drill fields.
1t Is surprising to old officers of the
Guard how rapidly the various units in
camp are being whipped into shape,
considering the large number of re-
cruits. With numerous non commits
stoned officers developing to the point
where they can handle large bodies of
men. it is expected that the more in
tensive training for officers will begin
on Monday. Twenty -four regular army
officers and the same number of nom
commissioned officers had been requested
from Washington to supervise this
training, but only seven officers have
arrived to date.
National Guard instructors who this
year for the first time were notified
of their expected duties in advance have
aided the small group Of regular army
men and have proved themselves highly
efficient.
Infantry Band Gives Concert
The 10th Infantry Band last night
gave concert in Lebanon at the re-
quest of the Rotary Club of that city.
Tonight Brigadier General Shannon
will be the guest of honor at a dinner
to be given by the Rotarians at his
home. Columbia.
Major W. Butler Wendell, attached
to divisional headquarters, and Dis
trct Attorney Of Chester County. will
address q Kiwanus Club luncheon al

Members of the 111th Infantry today
start preparations for the reception ant
entertainment of former "buddies' ni
the famous Iron Division who vii
reach here Saturday. More than 800
members of the regimental association
are expected. From the time they ar,
rive they will be the guests of thei
former companies, sleeping in quar-
ters specially arranged and eating a
the company mess tents. Mass drill
and athletic contests. in charge of Chap
lain Thomas Merryweather. have beel
planned for their entertainment.

Guard Not TO be Used as Police
Following the visit of Adjutant Beary
and his party, as special representatives
Of Governor Sproul, orders were given
to the National Guard that they were
not policemen and not called on to
clisperse small inconsequential and
peaceful gatherings. Today 1t was
learned that these orders were supple
mented by instructions to "bury' the
machine guns mounted on fast motor
trucks. These machine gun trucks had
been dashing about the country with the
machine guns uncovered.
State Representatives in this section
say that in their opinion the National
Guard IL not needed here and that the
use of the troops will run up big bills
which the State will have to pay and
which the present appropriations will
not cover Therefore, big deficiency
bill is expected at the forthcoming ses-
sion Of the Genera! Assembly.
In this connection General Asher
Miner. Of Pinchot's committee on State
finances, is investigating the spending
policies Of the State National Guard
and the State police under the gem
eral direction Of Prof. Clyde King.

.STACKPOLE GETS GALL
FOR MORE SOLDIERS

Cokeburg. Pa. July 27.--Colonel f.
!. Stackpole, Jr., commanding the
State troops in the coal fields Of West
ern PENNSYLVANIA, left military head
quarters here this mornir~ for the
southwestern section Of Washington
County, to act upon the requests of
coal operators that soldiers be sent
tho-".
Before his departure the colonel or.
dered troops to the vicinity of Montour
Mine No. 4, at Hill Station, where
operations were resumed today. The
soldiers will patrol the roads.
The military stations at other points
in the region reported the situation
quiet.
The troops In camp here were busy
setting up radio set. They hoped 10
tune into New Jersey station tonight
and pick up returns of the Leonard

Would Hedp End Coal Strike

A settlement Of this strike will greatly
help toward putting an end to the coal
strike. The psychological effect of q
settlement upon every one concerned
will be immense. The Administration
will approach the coal question with all
the confidence that comes from recent
success.
The miners will feel that their posi- e
ton is weakened by the ending of trou-
bic on the railroads. No such tie-up
Of industry ms may come II both strikes
continue will be possible.
And the mine operators will be in
flucnced by the example of the railroad
operators in yielding to the pressing
needs of the public. And to an extent
the issues which undcrlie these tive
strikes. whether the position of or
ganized labor for the future is to be
weakened or not, will begin to fade
away with the ending of the railroad
strike. 1t is this idea which has beer
! in the minds of both sides which ha!
accounted for the obstinacy that Mr.
! Harding has encountered.
| The remaining issues in the Goa
strike are much more vital than thos'
/ lef> in the railroad strike. Yielding by
,he operators may reasonably be pre-
dicted in the ra!rOnd dispute. but com
plete yielding by either side can hardl,
! be expected in the other contest. AnC
compromise will he hard to effect.
When the railroad strike is out of th'
way Mr.. IIarding's next move vii
probably be to tell the operators tina
the country is ready to move coal freel,
and that they are not producing enough
coal even with the protection which th'
Government is giving them. This Il
/ clearly foreshadowed in several utter
ances Of the President intimating tina
| he would not allow the operators al
. indefinite time to show whether the!
could adequately increase their outpu
or not and by his further suggestion
that a commission to investigate th'
coal industry would probably be forth
coming next week.
At this point the pressure will b.
upon the coal operators as it is toda!
upon the railroad operators. With tn
appointment Of commission 1t is cx
pected that the President will seek L
have coal mining resumed upon tn
terms existing before the strike began
with the prov!so that terms for the fu'
ture will be suggested By the commits
sion when 1t makes its report.
