All of them were suspicious of i .strangers and three left imnted ! lately, warning their comrades that ; ; it ain't no good to talk to people 1; I if you don't know who they are.” One of the remaining men finally I igreed to take me to the home of i John Wilf; rd, v.ho has been ac. ive iin the Stony Fork local. He in s I turn referred me to W. J. Stone. 'of Pineville, counsel for the Natli'.nal Miners I nion. Pineville is 14 miles from Mid idlesboro and there I found Stone' :in an alley outside of a garage. He j warned me that if 1 was seen on -1 Ihe streets with him I probably’, would lie arrested, but finally:; agreed to direct me to whore some ol the miners would be meeting that evening. * Just after dusk they began to assemble in a small room at the end of a rickety flight of stairs, i lighted by a single feeble electric! bulb and containing a stove in I which there was no fire. Each man arrived alone "or with only one comrade and guards were posted at | Hie bottom of the stairs and at the 1 door. Nick Sturmes. who claimed his furniture had been thrown out ot his house and hts family scatter- i t d. said: "We struck on Jan. 1 for a mini-1 mum wage of $4 a day. for the right I to organize and picket and to have our own check-weighman at the' tipple ot every mine." (The check weighman is the mm who measures the coal and determines how much ' each miner earns at a rate of about ■ 35 cents a cart. "Ever since the strike started we've been hounded by the deputies and we have to change officers once a week to keep our m»n from being thrown in j iL Since then the deputy sher-| iffs and the county officials have tried to starve us. They have denied us relief at the charities office 1 and they have stopped trucks carrying food and clofiiing front our Knoxwille headquarters. " Chester Hoskins, a 24 year-old youth who was a church memlier until recently, said: “1 have two days work since, j August and no money. I don't know much about this community and I ain't worrying about God. but if the communists ijan get me something to eat I'm tor ’em. a’nd I'll mash in the mouth of any deputy that tries to keep me from doin’ it.” Figures were brought forward intended to prove that there were |7.000 members of the National Min-. Sers Union in Dell and Harlan coun i ties, many ot whom were unemployed at the time of the January; 1 strike. The union estimates that; 2.000 men walked out of the mines on that strike. D. M. Bingham, who was associated with Stone in the defense of [the National Miners Union prisoners, said: “These boys are not getting a chance to organize their strike and they haven’t got any ; |constitutional rights at all. Sintili (Walter B. Smith, county attorney! and his gang are driving them into hiding and gun thugs are refusing to let them come out." The meeting had been in progress 30 minutes when a small hoy slip ped through the door and said:

Mr. Stone says you better gel scattered quick." Immediately the miners began leaving, singly or in small groups. On the streets outl side I saw a crowd of about 50 men. 'most of whom, according to the miners, were "spies that Smith ‘sent over here.” Some of Hie charges made in that meeting were proved untrue by ■subsequent investigation. Bat one •of them is true: the members of itlie National Miners Union are not I free to meet openly; they dare not distribute strike liierature or contIniuntst leaflets: they are in con- ; .stant danger of being arrested if ■they become too active in the [work; they are being watched day, . and night by one of the west per- . ect e ; inii.ig. ->Rtem that e*«r , operated.

Those directions of economy which can only be accomplished by reorganization and consolidation of government functions so as to eliminate overlap, useless bureaus and commissions, and waste. “Seven years ago. five years ago. two years ago. five months ago. four months ago, six weeks ag >. I recommended authorization to the executive to make a wholesale reorganization of government sum t'ons so as to eliminate this overlap, abolish useless bureaus and commissions, and do away with waste, but such reorganisation in each case to be subject to the'approval of congress. The action recommended has not been taken. A dominant consideration is that all these items, methods, and programs concern a great number of committees in the congress. Thev concern a great nun: er of departments and bureaus.
