LEADER
TESTIFIES AT
COAL INQUIRY
Continues His Attack on
Charles NJ. Schwab and John
d. Rockefeller, Jr.

Washington, March 22.-(AP)-
Charging that the citizens Of West
Virginia arc being "victimized by a
vicious system Of absentee landlord
ISM" Van A. Bittner, chief repre-
sentative Of the United Mine Work
ers in that state, today continued
his attack on Charles NJ. Schwab
and John d. Rockefeller. Jr., before
the senate committee investigating
the bituninous industry.
The union leader also named w.
II. Coolidge Of Boston as one OF a
LANDED aristocracy," which, he con-
tinued, rs carefully laying it's plans
to continue its stranglc hold on the
state and it's people"
IF Mr.. Schwab and Mr.. Rookie
Teller and Mr.. w. II. Coolidge, of
Boston, lived in West Virginia in
stead of New York and Boston,
shouted Bittner, "they would take
the same interest in developing the
human side Of industry there as they
do in humanitarian work in new
York and elsewhere"
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Mon
tana, broke in to remark that the
money used for charity by these men
is taken from the pockets of West
Virginia miners.
Statistics Cited
Bittncr asserted that more than
half of West Virginia territory is
under. absentee ownership, citing
statistics of 7. c. Townsend, former
state tax commissioner.
These indicated, he said, that T.
100000 acres of West Virginia land
are under "such absolute landlord
ISM" adding that the remaining half
of the state-which he said was
owned by farmers and small business
mcn--is taxed twice as heavily as
the other half for support Of the
schools and civic purposes.
"As result Of this exploitation
said Bittner, "the people of West
Virginia are intensely rcsentful."
Senator Fess, Republican, Ohio,
suggested that such large degree
of absentee ownership in West Vir.
ginia was inevitable due to the ma
tural resources there. He said that
the committee was primarily inter.
ested in getting "all the data avail
able to form basis for legislation
to improve conditions, if such legis-
lation is desirable"
Judge |. G. Lazzellc. of Morgan
town, w. Va, was denounced for
the second time by Bittncr, in con-
nection with an order which he said
the Judge gave to the grand jury
not to return indictments against
operations for unlawful eviction of
striking miners except by order of
the court.
"This is the judge he added,
"who is getting 100000 a year from
the Paisley coal interests fer land
leases"

NINTH OLYMPIC
BY FRANK GETTY
Omitted Press Sports Editor)

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 13.-The
great red brick stadium, the Sloten
canal and the tanks were deserted
today as Olympic athletes from q
score or more nations started home.
Forty thousand persons sat in
the stadium yesterday as the ninth
Olympaid was brought to Il close
And as has been the custom for
the past few years, the United
States team received the greatest
portion of the prizes.
The various Olympic champions
were called to the royal box to re
ccivc the Olympic awards. The
champions were given gold medals,
second place winners received sill
yer medals, while the third place
winners received bronze medals.
Twenty two United States athletes
received the champion medals.
Germany was second in the cham-
pion class, receiving II first
awards. Finland and Holland re
ceivcd eight each while italy won
seven.
After the prizes had been award
ed the president of the Information
al Olympic Committee, announced
that the ninth Oiympiad was closed
and he invited the youth Of all
countrics' 70 participate in the
next Olgmpaid at Los Angeles, IN
1882.
The United States carried OFF .
prizes in all, including - firsts, =
seconds and I5 thirds.
Despite the failure Of the Ameri-
can athletes to come up completely
to expectations, they easily led tho
contestants of other nations for
supremacy. They led in the inpor-
tant track aud field events in
swimming-and in rowing.

WASHINGTON - After the
w Agrarian leaders had held the
floor on the Mexican scene for
several days-long enough to
force Luis MOrOnes and his chief
men from the government-other
elements among the ObregOnistas,
much more practical in their ham
ding of affairs, asserted their in
fiuence.
Aided by the careful but firm
policy of President Gales, they
appear to have forestalled the
possibility of serious outbreaks.
The announcement that Aaron
Saenz would probably be the
choice of Congress for provisional
president has. temporarily at
least, put the extremists in the
background.
Saenz is less than 40 years old.
lie is primarily a civilian, al
though he holds military title.
OF all those who surrounded OBJ
regOn he was the closest to his
chief. He was with Obregon when
he emerged from his farm in
Northern Mexico to become the
most victorious commander in the
revolutionary ranks.
Obrc%oM's Right-hand Man .
He became Obregon's chief of
staff and entered Mexico City at
his commanders side when the
Western army overthrew the reac-
tiOnary NictOrianO Huerta.
When the revolution ended,
Saenz returned to civil life. OBJ
roson made him under-seCretary
of foreign affairs @"d latr; made
him full minister when PAM was
transfer ed from that post to the
treasury. SO well did &aenz per-
'orm his task that Gales, when
ne assumed the presidency, reap
pointed him minister OF foreign
affairs. He left the post in 1927

native state of Nueva Leon and TO
