HARDING WIRES 28 GOVERNORS Requests Full Protection for Mines Which Will Attempt to Reopen. SAYS U. S. IS READY TO ACT Assurance of Prompt and Full (Support of Federal Government Wherever Local Agencies of Law Are Inadequate. Washington, July 20.—1n a White j House telegram to the governors of 28 j foal-producing states, President Harding requests full protection . union mines which an attempt will he made to reopen as a result of his order | to the operators. The President, in his message, gives : the governors the emphatic assurance of "prompt and full support of the federal government wherever you find your own agencies of law and order inadequate to meet tlie situation." “The right of free men to work, the President states, must be guaranteed to the fullest extent by both the state and federal government. Text of the President's message follows : “The proposal of the federal government to the United Mine Workers and To the various coal operators, whose j mines are under suspension, to submit all questions In dispute to a national coal commission for arbitration, lias been declined. The mine workers declined as a body. The majority of the bituminous operators pledged unqualified'acceptance. The anthracite operators filed unconditional acceptance. A minority of the. bituminous operators . Accepted the principle of arbitration, j but made ‘ specifications which could j not be considered. I hud proposed : that the operators and mine workers in dispute should immediately resume i coal production under the wage scales j and working conditions which pre- j vailed at the time of the strike on last j April 1; that every question in dispute should go to a national commission to be composed of three representatives of the mine workers, three representatives of the operators and five representatives of the American public. It was proposed to make the commission final authority on all disputes until "next March, and meanwhile the commission was to inaugurate a searching inquiry into every phase of the'coal industry, in order to recommend the-way to maintain understanding between workmen and employers, to promote steady employment and assure a couttouous and ample fuel supply. “The failure to secure the acceptance of this proposal for a voluntary adjustment left me no other course but to invite the mine operators to return to their mines and resume activities. “I trust you will find it consistent to second this invitation, if you have not already done so, with the invitation to all miners and operators to resume ; their work. This invitation should be I accompanied by such assurance of maintained order and the protection of | lawful endeavor as will give_assurance j to everybody concerned. I want to convey to you in tills message the as- j surance of the prompt and full support of the federal' government whenever and wherever you find your own agencies of law and order inadequate to meet the situation. “Your state government and the federal government are jointly responsi-! ble for maintained conditions under ; which free men, willing to work, may-j work in safety. We are responsible j for tjie production and the transporta- ; Tien of a fuel supply- ample for the necessities of the American people and j the public utilities which 1 serve them,! particularly the railways engaged in j Interstate commerce. "Our present duty is to gurantee se- I enrity in the exercise, of these rights, j security in all lawful operations, and afford.a safe opportunity for that-, pro--1 ductidn and distribution demanded by ; the necessities of the American people, j . “There has been no government as- ■ sumption of a pari in the dispute be- j tween organized workers and organized i employers. I did ofter the only avail- j able agency which I ktiow to effect a I settlement, and these good offices have not availed,. .... .. "It becomes necessary, therefore, in 1 the name of common welfare, to invite j production in the fulfillment of that j obligation which attaches to any American industry engaged iii providing any j public necessity, and to afford security j to all men alike who are ready and! willing to w ork and serve the common need.. No cause is so important as that j of common welfare, and there must le -j the suppression ..of. eveju’ lawful bin- ( drawee to the service of that cause. To i the task of lawful protection ami the maintenance of order the federal, government pledges to you every assist- , ance at its command." Lightning Causes Big Loss.

SHERIFF AND SIX RIOTERS KILLED Twenty-Five Others Wounded in Battle at West Virginia Mine. SET FIRE TO THE TIPPLE Mob of 400 Fires on Guards at Ricjtland Coal Company’s Plant Near Wellsburg—State Police Now in Charge. Wellsburg, W. Vn.. July 19.— Sheriff 11. H. Duvall and six other persons were killed, and twenty-dive ..others wounded in a fight at the Standard mine of the Kiehlnod Coal company, two miles from Wellsburg. Thomas H. Duvall, who was with his father, Sheriff Duyull, when he was killed in the fight, was elected sheriff by the Brake County court. He at once took charge of the situation, witli tiie assistance of Sheriff Clause of Wheeling, and n body of state police. Nine of the men in the mob, supposed tb be striking miners front Pennsylvania. have been arrested and are in Jail, of them win; were injured have been taken to a hospital In Wheeling,- uncording to information at the mayor’s office here. Tiie attacking party, said to number several hundred, opened tire on the mine guards and sheriff’s deputies from surrounding hills, according to information at the mayor's office. Standing behind trees und rocks high up in tiie hfjis, tiie attackers opened a deadly tire, picking off tiie guards and deputies one'hv one. The sheriff’s men. outnumbered more than ten to one, kept firing.until their assailants abandoned the field. After resistance had weakened, the attackers-swooped down on the mine and sel fire to" the tipple. T. 11. Duvall accompanied the body of his father to their home here, ‘"lnhere had been rumors for some time that the mine was to he attacked. R had been operating nonunion and we heard the attack was to be made soon.” Mr. Duvall said. “The sheriff had a detail of men at the mine, but he gathered up a number of others here in Wellsburg and we went out to the mine. The report was that a big crowd of men were ou their way front over the state line, and after we reached the mine tiie Sheriff placed guards around th? property. “Nothing .happened until about daybreak, when tiring began’from the top of the hTirabove the mine opening; We replied to tiie fire and the sheriff ordered the men to move up the liill. They responded, firing as tney went, Tiie sheriff readied the top before lie was killed. I saw him a few minutes before and he. was hurry ing after a small part of tiie mob. I suppose he was killed shortly after that, because i found his body there when I came up

"The mob seemed to be armed with all kinds of guns and had abundant ammunition, because they kept shooting. even after we had broken their line and they Were running over tlie hill. “Some of them evidently got behind us. because tiiey exploded a—charge of dynamite under the- tipple and it was blown tip. T think it caught (ire and was burned to the ground, although I don’t know. None of us paid much attention to It. We were busy trying to break up that mob. “I don't know how many of the men Who attacked us were killed. There were at. least eight; for I am sure I saw that many bodies. There may he others out in the woods, through which they ran when we went up the hill. I know a number of them were wounded, but of course it will take some time to get the exact number, as the less seriously wounded were helped away by their friends. “There must have been Hot) or 400 in tiie mob, while Sheriff Duvall had not more titan about twenty men with him. The tipple and tiie village of Cliftondale are in a hollow and the mine openipg is on the hillside, not far from the top. The mob gathered In the brush at the-top and opened, fire lon tiie tipple; As soon its the shootin„ began we started right up the hill after them, and from then until they had all disappeared everybody was shooting his best. “So far as I know only one of our men was kill est. Irwin Mozingo, a special deputy who joined father when we were on tiie way to tiie mine, was wounded, lie was sho: in the face' and pretty badly hurt. “We succeeded in capturing some oT the men -In the party, nine, I believe, ami we brought them here under guard.
