UNIMPORTANT BILLS ARE MADE LAW BY GENERAL ASSEMBLY INDIANAPOLIS, July 27 Following objections by Governor Goodrich to a bill passed by the Indiana general assembly, providing for institution of the two platoon system in all organized fire departments of the state, a new bill was introduced In the senate today by Senator Alfred Hogston of Marlon, providing for the system In cities having over 15,000 population. The bill was passed 35 to 1. The house today accepted the conference committee's report on the bill which seeks to regulate coal and food prices. The report provides for Investigation and regulation by the state board of accounts, of fuel and food prices, until March 31, 1921. The house would have provided a separate commission. There was little change in the situation in the general assembly today. It seemed probable that the session would continue the greater part of the present week. Until yesterday the Republicans in the Benate stood firm for their amendments to tho home rule bill, and de clared they. would hold the Kiper bill In the senate until b-e home rule measure was acted upon to their satisfaction. At a caucus late yesterday, however. It was decided to send the Kiper bill back to the house- and thus open the way for this subject to be put in the bands of a conference committee. The senators, through Lieutenant Governor Edsrar D. Bush, declared, they would continue their firm stand for their homo rulo bill. The fate of both the home rule bill and the Kiper and Tuthill bills in conference committees is uncertain. The conference committee, tyhich had the home rule bill, expected to meet today. The Klpor and Tuthill bills probably will be given to a conference committee today as soon as the house receives the Kiper bill. When the tax legislation is disposed of the work of the special session will be almost completed. SHAMROCK GETS WELL OUT IN FRONT TODAY (By Associated Press) SANDY HOOK. July 27.

UNION EFFORTS LED TO WEST VIRGINIA COAL WARS-DAVIS

CHARLESTOWN, W. Va, July 27. Conditions in the Guyan Valley coal fields of West Virginia and incidents leading up to the march of armed miners toward that region in September. 1919, are reviewed in the report of Major T. S. Davis, acting adjutant general, who was named to make tho inquiry by Governor CornwelL The report was made public today. Lfforts of United Mine Workers, members of District 17, to unionize the Guyan field resulted in the march of miners into Boone county toward Logan, according to the report. The major charged that certain activities of union officials and communications went out from District 17 headquarters tended to start the armed invasion which, according to state officials, was for the purpose of "forcing organization" upon the Guyan miners. Several hundred miners from the union coal fields of southern West Virginia participated in the march, which ended In Boone county after state executives and union officials had appealed to the men to abandon the idea of invading Logan county. Coal operators of the valley do not employ armed guards, as had been charged, but they are paying monthly, through their association, to the sheriff a sum of money which Is used to pay certain deputies, the report said. This practice Is condemned by the major. Regarding the charge that miners had been "beaten and slugged" in the Guyan field, the report says that, while a number of witnesses had testified that they had been arrested and beaten, these incidents "do not suffice to sustain this charge or to Justify the wholesale indictment of conditions in Logan." Other conclusions reached In the report were: Rates of pay are apparently not below those in union fields; labor, industrial and living conditions are as good as in the best coal fields of the state; witnesses differed regarding the question of whether the miners wanted to be organized; and that the charge that workers are kept in the mines by threats and intimida tions were not sustained by the evidence secured. New Mooney Appeal Made To President by Committee (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 27. An appeal in behalf of Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings, convicted in San Francisco in connection with the preparedness day parade explosion in 1916, was presented to the White House today, by a committee representing the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electrical Railyay employes of America.
