AMERICAN PLAN
'Independent" Miner Has SOrrOwful
Experience

Cedar Grove, w. Va.-Carl Gray,
miner, employed by the anti-union
West Virginia Coal and Coke COM
pany, no longer favors the American
plan" that coal operators so earnestly
urge.
The reason for Gray's changed
viewpoint is that he worked two
weeks and found himself in debt $1.76
to the company. He was then thrown
in Jail for failure to pay his boar /
bill.
His statement from the company
shows that during the last two weeks
in October he mined 70 cars of coal
at Al cents ton. This made his total
earnings $33 for that period. Coup
ons, good at the company store,
charges for the doctor, for the hos
pital, for blacksmithing and other de-
ductions made him a company debtor,
Then the landlord had him arrested.
The gun men who "protect" him while
at work refused to come to his aiG
and he was bailed out of Jail by his
father, striking miner, who refuses
to accept these conditions.

Representatives, carried before the

to the senatorship, which Smith has

ing Smith by less than 1000 votes OF

Failure of Voters
To Go to Polls Is
Blamed on Autos

By the Associated Press.
The automobile is blamed, in
large part, for failure of about
half the voters to go to the polls
at the last presidential election in
a pamphlet issued by the National
Get-Out-the-Vote Club, which sets
forth instructions for absentees to
follow in the approaching Fall
elections.
During the last 80 years the
"stay-at-home" vote has steadily
increased. while the use of the
automobile has become country
wide. the club said. asserting that
before the advent OF the automo-
bile. so per cent of the qualified
votee3 exercised their franchise
in presidential elections. whereas
In the last presidential election
not half went to the polls.
1T is not difficult to analyZe the
conditions" the club stated. THE
automobile and the development
of interstate Federal and State
highways, has made the American
people a nation Of highway travel

Election day may be a sort Of
general holiday to thousands. who
take the family on a visit to a
country resort or to visit friends
and relatives. and no one in that
car gets home to vote. The auto

Blackwood, his nearest rival and COM
petitor in the run,off primary. scored

man. also engage in a run-off race

ination. The first vote gave Fulmer
