By 111 Searles, Editor of th United Kin. Worker' Jonnui Written for th United News Washington. Sept. 10. I believe the public want to know th truth, so that It may reach a just conclusion in every cm. The public will always be fair If it knows what is the (air thing to do. And so It la with regard to -the deplor able situation In. the coal fields of West Virginia, where thousands of miners assembled and marched. If the public wants to believe all the stories coming from that district, the full blame for the affair would be placed on th miners. But let's see. For many years past -coal operators in Mingo, McDowell. Mercer 'and Boone counties have employed nunareas, even thousands of thugs and gunmen 'Whose business it was and still Is to intimidate, abuse, beat,, shoot and even kill coal miners who dare to assert any of the right guaranteed, to them by law. tTNIONISM FORBIDDEN Herein lies the fundamental, the deep seated reason why the miners indulged ln their recent uprising. These coal operators forbid their em doves to organise or Join a union. If any of their men Join the union they ar at once discharged. Men and their ramiiiaa im nut nut of their home in sunshine or in rain and they must rind shelter on the mountainside. They are forbidden to walk on the public high ways. They, are forbidden to assemble to talk over their troubles. The hired thugs and gunmen, better, known as Baldwln-FelU detectives, are turned loose on them by the operators. Only a short time ago a gang of plug uglles shot up a tent colony in which evicted miners were living In Mingo county. They cut the tents to shreds with knives. -They broke Jars of fnjit and destroyed the contents. Through the Baldwtn-Felts thug sys tem the coal operators own the courts, the sheriffs, the police and every law- enforcing agency. Every means of re dress is denied to the miners. Baldwin Felts gunmen are elected or appointed to public office. Baldwin-Felts gunmen have free access to Jails, and when ever they wish to beat up a union miner who Is a prisoner they simply walk in and beat him up or take him outside and ". beat him up. ' , Baldwin-Felts gunmen arrest miners on any and every charge and put them In JalL Then, under a strange and ter rible law which Is found only In West Virginia, they send them to an entirely different county and bring In men of their own picking tg serve as Jurors at th trial of the union miner. DOMINATED BY OEEBATORS J When the United State bituminous ooaj commission, appotnted by the presi dent in 120. decided that the coal miners were entitled to a wage increase of 14 cents a ton for digging coal, the commission ordered th Increase to be .rfrtivA throurhaut the country.

It drove them to By W 011am Ivy. Paris. Sept. 10. Lord Ridden, the of ficial "press agent" of the Lloyd George government, who is always to be seen during international conferences, fol lowed by a troop of English and Ameri can reporters, speaks free "verse. He would perhaps be as surprised to hear It as was the man who heard a defini tion of prose and exclaimed, "Why, I've been talking It all my life." But such, nevertheless, is the fact. Following his custom, Lord Rlddell re ceived from 30 to 50 correspondents twice dally during the -supreme council meeting in Paris. He was regarded as perhaps the best source of news for those who wanted a complete and de tailed account of what happened at the sessions. Seated at the head of a long green baize table in a second floor room at the Hotel Crillon, he read slowly from his notes while the neswpaperraen's pencils reproduced verbatim what he said. DIFFERENT IN PRINT Within a few hours the text of his remarks could be read in the news papers, but a thine that struck many as odd was that in print they produced a quite different effect, I was curious to understand why it was that during his talks the gathering would frequently burst into laughter, whereas the effect of the same words, printed, was quite grave and unemotional. It is. as stated above, that his lord ship talks In "vers libra." It is not the words, but the emphasis of the pauses that produces the comic effect. For ex ample, on the morning Lloyd George left Paris for London. Lord Riddle was describing the council's session. He opened as follaws and let the reader make a suitable pause at the end of each line: "Mr. Lloyd George arrived at the Quai a orsay at u o'clock And the meeting at once began. All the delegates were present Except the American representative who arrived Ten minutes late." TAKES GENTLE SLAP That eloquent pause at the end of the last line but one was a whole volume of commentary on America's slowness In getting into the war and into the peace. If he had tacked on "as usual.' the printed version would have reprt duced fairly accurately the significance rirain sales are numerous in Walla w25. small lou totaling about 100 000 boAhels at J2 cents for club ,and Turkey rd. of the statement The council discussed the Silesian matter and Lloyd George suggested that In ' view of the disagreement it be re ferred to the League of Nations. After this was agreed to both Lloyd George and Briand making long speeches for "home consumption." which made their differences stand out sharply , Mr Lloyd George arose to go. Mr. Briand seized him by the Hand, and said he was GLAD (pause and hysterical laughter) That the matter had been so amicably arranged." Lord Riddell's "style of humor" is more American than English. At any rate the American corresjkmdents laugh more than the English during his con ferences. One reason may be that his lordship takes delight in "chaffing" the Americans, and many of his studied pauses are obviously directed to the risibility of the. Americans. Some of the English correspondents consider him frivolous. T0NOT PRINT IT" The English weekly. News of the World, is Lord Riddell's property. It is said to have the largest circulation on record. He enjoys referring to it. "Yea. as I said last week in the News of the World Which, by the way, has a circulation of 3.500.000 Of course, you mustn't print this I said oh, and I believe that is the largest circulation ever recorded -(And besides that a tremendous vol ume of advertising. But this is .all by the way an'd quite confidential. I shouldn't like the public to know) Anyhow, I said in my paper The News of the World " Colonel Harvey did not succeed In be coming highly popular as a source of news. His manner was variously inter preted. To many he seemed bored and even contemptuous, to otners he ap peared over-cautious. During the first few days of the conference he saw the press but rareljr on tw occasions failed to see mem at au. even after an appoint ment had been made. It was not until Friday of the big week that he really seemed to relish his interview with the newspapers. HE IS EXACTING That was the day of the reference to the League of Nations, and' he was most anxious hat the league should get as little prestige as possible out of the in cident. Therefore, he called In all the correspondents at an unwontedly early hour and insisted on their reporting verbatim his comments offered at the council meeting. Despite bis effort to seem pleased at the turn of events, however, many de tected in his manner a certain chagrin. Reference' to the league of such an im portant International question as the Silesian quarrel could not help strength ening that body. Many felt that Colonel Harvey had missed his services and Had been turned down. England Prepares to Cancel Speed Rules London, Sept 10. (U. P.) Country people are awaiting wflh concern and motorists with Joy the removal of the speed limit in England. Week-ends at present are terrors to the rural districts, Motorcycles, bicycles, runabout touring cars and the whizzing Juggernauts of char-a-bancs with their 20 or 40 pas sengers tear Ujp the narrow lanes of the green English countryside. Nobody knows what's going to happen when, as planned during the next few 'weeks, th speed limit Is withdrawn and police court charges against offending motor Ists become "reckless" instead of merely fast" driving. LEMONS GROWN IN OHIO St Clairevllle, Ohio, Sept 10 (I. N, S.) A lemon tree growing on the lawn of Miss Mattie Vaughn's home here has three lemons. Inasmuch as citrus fruit has never been grown in this vicinity, the tree is attracting much attention.
