vision whereby Speaker Garner would be empowered to appoint two . of the seven directors of the cor- > poration. Democratic members thus would put their party chieftain on u par with President Hoover, who likewise would appoint two members.

Conner Ewing, also of Owensville, replied for the state: "We concede that right, but when Irnen seek to take the law into their | own hinds, the commonwealth reserves the right to step hi and say j'you shall not do so.’” Early last year a strike developed at Black Mountain Coal Corpor p-tion. On May 5 a miner sought I work there. Strikers at Evarts obstructed his truck. When deputy sheriffs sought to escort his truck through the “free town" of Evarts, there was a bloody road-side gun fight.
