II person subpoenaed believes the
subpoena unjustified, he may have
that fact determined by the board

proper showing is made.
In conclusion, I may add that all
OF us have been besieged with de.
mands which would place additional
responsibilities and liabilities upon
employees, such as to provide that
If union breaks contract validly
entered into, it shall forfeit its rights
under the act. Such proposals
would rather definitely put labor
on trial in a number of WAYS. Our
committee rejected these proposals
except as to our recommendation
following the outlawing of sit-down
strikes as laid down in the Fansteel
case by the Supreme Court.
Time forbids detailed analysis
OF other amendments. I have, how
ever, touched upon some of the
questions presented by the commit
tees painstaking study of our
national experience under the Wag-
ner Act. The very foundation prin-
ciples of constitutional government
require that the necessary amend
ments should be made by Congress
and by Congress alone. This is not
a matter to be determined by any
one committee, nor any one group.
1t is problem which touches the
prosperity and welfare OF all the
people. 1t is not a problem of any
one political party. 1t must be ap-
preached and dealt with in the due
processes of orderly representative
government.
My faith in America is abiding,
that If the problem is so approached
and so dealt with it will yield
solution equitable to all and con-
tributing nightly to the recovery
and economical progress Of the en-
tire Nation.

Of the Clintwood American Le-
gion, with Rev. P. E. Cul1om as
-peakerg of the day. Rev. Cullom
brought brief but inspiring mes

DICKINSON COUNTY HAS
WOMAN MAIL CARRIER

Back in the days when mail
was carried horseback to the var
ious parts of the county, it was
not unusual to see lady in
charge of the mail pouches. But
during the last few weeks we
have seen the first lady in charge
of the mail since Uncle Sam
streamlined postal transportation.
Miss Tina Buchanan is carrying
the mail daily between Clintwood
and Coeburn in the absence OF
her brother, Fitzhugh, who is con
valescing from an appendicitis
operation.

LOCALS WIN SUNDAY
BALL CAME 8 To 7

With J. c. Smith making his
second mound appearance of the
season for Clintwood, the locals
literally pulled the game out Of
the fire in the ninth inning
against the strong Harmon aggre-
cation and won their first game
of the season by the score of 81.
From the standpoint. of the spec
tators, this was one Of the most
thrilling games ever to be played
in Clintwood.
The score was tied three times
the contest and Har-
mon always managed to get back
in the lead until the last two in

in the ninth with a one point

Harmon behind the parked cars

to tie the count. Hall, first up fos

Calf Said To Be Crossed With Deer

Venerable Richard Mills, whose
never-ending supply of quaint
stories of unusual happenings in
the south-of- the-mountain have
provided interest and sometimes
amusement to scores of people,
was in town Monday, and this
time he brought story that may
eclipse all others in point of in

that Lawrence Stone, of Lick

C1intwood, has heifer that re-
Gently brought a calf that is be-
lieved to be cross between
COW brute and a deer.
Tom Mooney, who lives near

curly hair and that it bears a
strong facial resemblance to the

body of citizens of the Sand Lick
community to restrain the hogs
from running at large. Several
other citizens appeared to pro-
test, and the debate waxed hot.
So great was the heat that the
Board passed the buck to Judge
Skeen for action. Chief among
the debaters for the law was
Floyd Powers, while Sperge Pen

The appropriation to furnish
material for the WPA sewing
rooms was slashed $4,000, with
members Dotson, Bise and Phil

The Supervisors dug down to
appropriate $3.50 to Southwest

joint request of Lee Long and
Homer K. Bowen.

Anvil Phipps, of Brush Creek,
adds further weight of testimony
to the possibility of this unusual
phenomena with the statement
that he read an article in a STAN
dard magazine some time ago to
the effect that it is possible to
cross cattle and deer, and that
according to the article, such Off
springs generally ''go wild" as
they grow up.
1t appears that a large deer
ranged and fed with Kenus
Stones cattle in the Ramey Flats

COUNTY PROF|T|NG
FROM GAME PROGRAM

$3.50 Bass And $3.50 Rainbow
Trout Released In Streams of
County
The annual report of the Com
mission of Game & Inland Fish
cries for the fiscal year ending
Jnue 80, 1889, recently issued,
shows that Dickinson county re-
ceived during the year $3.50 bass
and $3.50 rainbow trout for pro-
pagation. The bass were released
in Russell Fork, Pound a n d
Cranes Nest rivers, the trout in
Cane Creek.
This report shows that Dicken-
son county received during the
year more bass than any other
county in Southwest Virginia and
more fish of all sorts than either
Buchanan or Russell counties.
The report of the Commission
for the year ending June 80, 1910
will show that Dickinson receiv-
ed more fish from state and fed
eral fish hatcheries for the year
beginning July l and ending June
80, 1910, than for the previous
year. During the present fiscal
year black bass, and rock bass
fingerlings were placed in Russell
Fork, Pound and Cranes Nest and
rainbow and brook trout in Pine
Creek, Cane Creek and Skeetrock
Branch.
The report of the commission
shows that 1858 quail were dis
tributed through the state last
year, of which Dickinson receiv-
ed 60. During the same period 211
deer were bought and liberated
in various Virginia counties, thru
a cooperative agreement by
