HOPE OF KILLING
ABSENT VOTERS
LAW FADES

Senator Harry Stuart has given
UP hope of killing the absent vot
ers law and now seeks to amend
1t.
The Russell County senator
said in Richmond Friday that his
repeal bill was bottled up in com
mittee and that h was introluc-
ing another designed to prevent
the fraudulent Use of the "Black
Satchel." His new bill provides
that absentee votes shall be sent
to the State Board of Elections at
Richmond, there 10 be deposited
in the proper precinct bcT. The
state board would some time pri-
or to the election send the votes
to the local clerks. On the morn
ing of election the clerks would
deliver the ballots to the pre-
cinct judges of election. The judg
es would have to examine the
envelopes for signs of tampering.
The Governor has given the
latest Stuart bill blessing with
the statement that it would "as
nearly as possible" make absen-
tee voting fraud proof.

Miners Ask Return Of
Money Deducted For
Store Accounts

Forty eight related civil cases,
with interesting possibilities and
histories are pending before trial
justice court.
The Lambert Coal Company,
operating on the Open Fork, with
Stallard Lambert as chief partner,
is being sued by members OF a
one-time local of the UMWA for
approximately $4,000. The min
ers allege that Lambert deducted
amounts from their pay envel-
opes over a period Of nearly a
year without due authorization.
1t appears that the Lambert
Coal Company, at one time own
ed and operated by George Lam
brit and others, also had general
store at which their employees
ran accounts. There was an agree
ment that the amount of a min
er's store debt should be deduct
ed from his pay envelope at the
end of the month. When the com
pany changed hands the practice,
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1950-02-16

with or without agreement, was
followed, and the deductions
were made from the monthly
earning sto pay the store accounts
due George Lambert's store. Each
miner signed a receipt for the
amount of his full earnings, but
Oh the pay envelope was nota-
ton that the sum due the store
had been deducted at the pay
roll office
The miners went on strike in
January and were replaced with
non-union labor. Then the one
time employees took the civil
warrants, claiming that the deduc
tons made under the last owners
of the mining company were not
duly authorized and should be re
funded.
The case is under advisement,
and the trial justice stated that
further evidence would be offer
ed pending final decision.

Three Men And A Drink

ABC officer H M Hubbard
and state policeman Collier nab
bed three men transporting half
gallon of moonshine whiskey In
an automobile near Sand Lick on
Friday. The three, Jesse Brown,
Holiday O'Quinn, and Larkin Ow

ternoon.
Trial Justice E j Sutherland

BOOTLEGGING TRADE
IN CLINTWOOD
BEING PROBED BY Law

The long arm of the law, in the
person OF an undercover Abe
agent, has been probing the boot
Logging trade around Clintwood.
Secret policeman N F Adams
of the ABC enforcement division
swore out warrants last Friday
for Andrew Stanley and Gustava
Rose. Stanley is charged with the
sale of whiskey, while Mrs. Rose
is charged with abetting the sale.
Adams stated that posing as
thirsty wanderer, he bought the
whiskey on December II. One of
ficer who prefers to remain an
onymous, said that the secret pc
liceman also stated that he had
had the aid of a finger man,
noted sot, in the town of Clint
wood.

CLINCHCO LOCAL SUPPLIES
FOOD TO NEEDY MEMBERS

The Clinchco local of UMWA
has made an unusual provisfn to
supply food to its needy mem
bers
The Clinchfield stores have
gone on cash basis, which
means that few, if any, of the
miners can trade with the com.
pany. The local had about $1,000
in its treasury. This sum is being
spent for groceries at wholesale
prices. The food is kept in an old
store building near Tarpon, from
which it is being rationed to the
needy by union officials. Bust
ness at this commissary was very
brisk Wednesday, with lines
waiting to enter the store.
Those miners who live in the
country districts, many of them
owning their homes and with
some food supplies on hand, ap-
pear to be weathering the econ
omic storm in fairly good shape.
On the other hand, those living
in the mining villages are at the
point of actual want.

mo contract, no work. To h--l
with John L Lewis! To h--l
with Truman! To h--l with the
Fact-Finding Board!"
These words of union miner
seem to express the feelings Of
all the UMWA members in this
county. None of the unionized
mines opened Monday, despite
the "order" from John L to go
back to work The rank and file
say there is no law to make a
man work when he is acting on
his own hook No meetings were
held Sunday in this county after
Lewis bowed to the government
injunction and told the men to 60
to work. Each of the men, so far
as any outsider knows, decided
the matter for himself
No state policemen have been
sent into the county. It is Under
stood that Governor Battle was
assured last week by local off,
GERS that there was no likelihood
of trouble in Dickinson County.
Clinchfield stores did not open
Monday, and according to report,
will open for limited periods on
ly each day to supply the needs
of cash customers.

socialized as England is, if the

vered by Vaughn. Mr.. Sutherland
called this the New and Fair
Deal Democratic efficiency, dis
tribution of free deep-freezers,

of the Both Congress, going into
detail as to it's accomplishments
and efficiency against the present
congress.

ney, also spoke on the Un-Ainer
lean doctrines of socialism and
Communism. Some IS enthusiast
tic Republicans were in attend
ance.

tress and Cline Powers of Haysi
introduced the speakers.

Maynard Kiser has had one
honest to-goodness application
for the job of winding the eight

There is neither an honest de-
Tense nor a sincere apology to be
made for the bootlegger He
breaks law that was passed by
democratic processes and one for
which few would advocate re-
peal A long time ago an Ameri-
can statesman said, "a good cit
izen would obey even a bad law;
a bad citizen will not obey even
a good law"
But there are moral laws, not
in the statute books, it is true, but
as officially binding on men and
states. One such moral law Is
against lying, either by word or
deed. When an undercover agent
of the State goes in disguise and
misrepresents himself, he violates
that law. In his act and in his
person, the state also violates the
law. A person who stoops to ly-
ing and treachery forfeits the re-
spect of all people with the right
instincts. The state lowers itself
by the employment OF such per-
sons.
No one who believes in the
reality Of good and evil can be-
ieve that the end justifies the
means. The state does not re-
gard the sale of Whiskey as evil,
for it Is engaged in the traffic.
The only crime of a bootlegger,
in the eyes OF the state, is that he
completes with state monopoly.
When an agency resorts to a
criminal practice to break com
etitor, it sets a bad example to
the citizens of the commonwealth.
Business firms, and perhaps in
dividual householders, in Clint
wood resolved last week a print
ed circular from the town govern
ment on the distribution Of waste
material. Proper methods of dis
position were outlined, and there
was a typewriter warning that
violators would be punished.
That is all right, and we are
all for orderly townkeeping.
In order that this most worthy
object may be furthered, we sug-
gest that town officials make a
tour of inspection along the two
blocks Of Walnut Street ON either
side of Mcclure Avenue.
Ayers Yates has not yet traded
his dog for the one-man saw and
the sledge hammer.
OF his many works, there is one
of which Charley Deloach does
not boast. That was the job of
bulldozing for coal in which he
lately took part. That subject
Charlie apparently would prefer
to leave out of conversation.
The question of the week is:
Who is Josephus Mullins? Big
brass of the state police would
like to talk with him,
