that 10 Culbertson does not play anv

DISTRESS DETAILED
65-Page Report Shows Grave
Need for Relief in

BY the Associated Press.

FRANKFORT. KY. December T.
Many persons in the Harlan County
coal fields are in need of relief. Gov
Flem d. Sampson was informed in q
voluminous report submitted to him last
night by A. A. Bablitz, Lexington, and
j. Smith Hays, Winchester. whom he
designated last month as a special COM
mittee to investigate conditions in Har-
Ian County.
The report contained a 65-page syn
opsis of testimony from miners, officials,
coal operators and others, In addition
to 24-page summary and nine volumes
OF testimony. 1t detailed conditions
generally in the strife-torn Southeast
ern Kentucky coal fields, where State
troops were sent last Summer following
the killing Of four men.
Say Red Cross Aid Withheld.
witnesses testified before us the Red
Cross had refused aid to the hungry
miners and their families, and we hear
from others, probably rumors, that the
Red Cross would not aid persons in any
way involved in the labor trouble" the
report said
we were surprised to learn that an
organization with the red cross on its
banner, the emblem of the Crucifix1on
and blood of Christ, could turn a deaf
ear or refuse to aid needy men, women
and children. To collect funds and
distribute necessary relief, the service
of an organization like the Red Cross
Is needed We hope our information
concerning its refusal to act in such an
emergency has been misleading and
that it will now, at the beginning of
Winter, take up its work and lead In
the relief so necessary for the guilty
and the innocent in Harlan County.
Many are in real need, are destitute"
Union Is Blamed.
The report blamed the national
miners union for the labor trouble in
the coal fields.
The committee had spent some time
gathering information. 1t was appoint
ed about the same time committee
headed by Theodore Dresser, New York
novelist, made an investigation in Har-
Ian County.

The problem of maintaining uniform

the adjustments been difficult to make
