Va., Feb. 3. A new kind of a mine strike Is in progress iu the coal fields of West Virginia. The bloody armed marches and gun battles between strikers and mine guards of the past are in contrast with the quietness of the strike now in progress. . "Within the law," seems to be the slogan adopted by more than 1B00 miners of the Kanawha Piver valley, w-ho are seeking to compel coal oper ators to pay wages about $2 higher than the present scale. And at the samo time mine operat ors are bending every effort to keep peace, Kach side tries to cause the other trouble, but each side is also extreme ly careful to do nothing illegal under the West Virginia law. Tetlow Responsible Tercy Tetlow, acting president, of the United Mine Workers of West Virginia, is mainly responsible for the conduct of the striking miners. Couped up in shacks and tents, with but meager rations for their families, the striking miners were ex pected to keep the situation precar ious. Hut Tetlow watches the situation closely, urging the strikers to obey the law and place a responsible miner in charge of each camp. Kach per son is charged with doing his part to keep in the law. . At the Mammoth tent camp about 25 miles from here, is Mrs. Mary hhifflet, bit years old, representative of the spirit of "law and order." She is known as the "Mother s Above Is shown a group of children who live In the tent oolonies. Below Is Mrs. Mary Shifflett, the "Mother Jones" among the strikers. Jonos" of the region. She ma ken Kppechea denouncing strikt'brrnkerH, bub always urges the strikers to do nothing illegHl. It is ".Mother" Shifflett who goes to aid mothers, living with as many as seven children in tents; who keeps vigil over the siek and settles petty disputes that may arie. Soparate Evictions Although CiMKI persona have been evicted from their homes and forced to live in tents and shacks, the coal coinptuticH have nl lamed a separate court order for each eviction, I'ndcr the West Virginia law n striker can be evicted from the com pany homes upon a jury trial. On one occasion 140 ovietiou cases were before the court and the union attor ney silked for a jury trial in each case. Three days were required for the court to legally order evictions. A law provides that when a sheriff evicts a miner he must take the min er's furniture to the nearest county road. One miner hack in the hills com pelled a sheriff to cart an old square piano eight, miles down a terrible mountain trail. It required two days to do this. Much Relief Work Under Tetlnw's sunerivifuon a relief organisation is spending $SO,000 a morith to aid the strikers. Of this amount $.iO.O(M. is used to acquire land and small houses to replace the tents, and the balance is used to sup ply rations, sent into the colony every two weeks. The . union cottages, which are small, yellow-pine, two-room affairs, house two families at a cost of from $125 to $if.O. '"Ninety-nine per cent of the min ers in the Kanawha field lived in com pany houses." says Tetlow. "My hope is to put all these people on their own land." Tetlow is a comparatively young leader. Labor throughout the country is watching him. It is interested to learn if his meth ods succeed where bloodshed has failed. before he had been a prisoner for two days, when another enormous boulder fell and blocked his egress from Crys tal cave after he had penetrated new found passages. It Vas discovered today that work men within the cave could be heard faintly from the side of a hill about UOO feet from the entrance. The spot was discovered accidentally. M embers of the party outside the cave hurried to -the hillside, placed their ears against a rock and heard the workmen inside chipping away at the sandstone. With new life injected into the entire party, a plan to bring 1(H) men to the spot and begin a tunnel im mediately was evolved. The rescue work, heretofore heroic but haphaz ard and unorganized, took on a sem blance of order. If a tunnel put through the hill at this point strikes Sand cave, more than 150 feet from the entrance, workmen will in time, reach Collins, from the side where the rock weighing him down can be seen. Screw Jack Tried Meanwhile another planpreviously untried, was being pushed by those men working within the cave. A large screw jack, supplied by the Courier Journal, was to be placed against the wail in front of Collins, With a pipe or piece of timber extending from the jack across Collins' body to the slab, it was planned to exert pres sure ngainst the stone. If the pris ons was moved five inches, rescuers argued, it might be possible to move the rock backward far enough to permit extricating Collins. No one knows whether the pas sageway immediately beyond Collins allows much leeway in pushing the stone. The jack, too, may prove insufficient as the weight of the slab has been estimated at six to eight tons. Here again, hope reverts to the possibility of reaching the pris oner from behind. dents who plan to follow technical lines. O. 15. Mickelson is advisor and the officers are: Kldon Deal; presi dent; Othcl Stroud, vice-president: (Jeorge Poiley, secretary -treusurer. .twenty members are enrolled. Rebuttal Heard in Gooding Bill Case WASHINGTON, Feb. 'H. Itebuttal testimony by proponents of the Gooding bill was offered today before the bouse commerce committee. James A. Ford, secretary of the in termediate rate association, declared the Bystein Lhe railroads are trying to put iu, is causing congestion of popu lation . under unfavorable conditions and is driving smaller industries out of business. The wool growers In Idaho and adjoining states, he con tended, were until recently forced to ship their wool west to the l'actfic coast find then eastward to the At lantic seaboard, to reach the mar ket, to take advantage of what lie cailed "discriminatory rates." Various agencies of government, Ford contended, have drawn attentixi to the point that railroad rates arc detrimental to nuvigation. Northern Pacific train rests with the operative department of the North ern Pacific, according to the verdict of the coroner's jury, returned at Prosper, this noon. Immediately fol lowing the Teport Engineer A. it, Peigiht and Conductor Karl Cooper of t lie train which struck the unto were placed under arrest with bail fixed ;it $5000 for each. It is anticipated that bail will be provided soon. Responsibility For Accident is Placed YAKIMA, Wash?, Feb. .1.

"From all I rend and hear about Ibis investigation," said Louise Pal mer Webber, "1 expect a grand ex posure of a man utterly crooked, who with all his associates was being bought and sold all over the slate. Hu: it eems to he much ado about noth ing. It has bene proved that Mr. Clea ver is honest. He lias been offered bribes without number, but he has en forced the law as he look his oalb to do.
