 The executive e0unoii has learned through suihoFitaii's sources that miners families living in miuing sil- hsges m West Virginia are being ruth tetsls ekietei from their homes.
 These elietions gre I.king place without due process of law and are contrary 10 the instincts Of humanity"
 The lnhnman process of throwing the miners, their families and their household goods out et the houses owned by the coal corporations into the roads and hy.ways is being car. rlsa out by gunmen, so-cslled pri,ats detectives who are n the employ Of West Virginia coal companies,
 We denennce the actions of all these engaged in this uE-American policy of home eyictions in some Of the mining sections Of West Virginia. Pe it resolved that President Comp CTS communicate with Governor Nor ran Of West Virginia and m the name of the executive council demand that the state government give to the min CTS of the state the protection to which they are entitled as human be- ings and citizens of our republic and that the eviction of families from their humble homes by private gunmen in the employ of coal corporations shall cease.
 Be Is further resolved that Presi- dent Gompers advise President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America of the adoption of this resolution by the executive council and tender to the mine workers organiza- ton such assistance as can be given | by the American Federation Of Labor in protecting mine workers and their | families in West Virginia"
 The councils resolution was accom- panied by q statement by William Green, secretary-treasurer of the U. M.

New York, Aug. e.-The jury ir the case of William J. Fsllon, crim. inal lawyer, who has been on trial here charged with hribing q juror. re- turned verdict of not guilty at 11:05 last night.
 The jury was out almost six hours.
 After trial lasting about three weeks, one of the most bitterly fought legal battles New York city has seen, Fallon walked from the courtroom, free man.
 A wild demonstration followed the announcement of the verdict. Friends of the accused lawyer who have crowded the court room and corridors of the federal building each day of marshals to get a glimpse of the de- fendant, rushed around him and cheered for many minutes, almost crushing him in their efforts to shake his hand.
 When word came that verdict had been reached. there was a rush for the court room. The spectators eagerly SCdHHeI the faces OI the jurors, Fallon sat in the front seat at the counsel table. His face was blanched His head fell over to one side. He appeared as though about to faint. His partner, who had stood by him valiantly through the long trial, Eugene F. McGee, sat in back of him and leaned forward to whisper a word of courage.
 When the verdict was announced Fallon sank forward in his chair. He started to get up to thank the jury. He took step forward and swayed on his feet, The jury had scarcely looked toward him and they started to file out. He spoke a low word or two but few heard him.
 Afterwards he met the jurors in the anteroom and thanked each personally.
 Judge McClintic curtly announced the discharge of defendant and direct ed the clerk to adjourn court.
