CASE OF MINER TAKEN
UNDER ADVISEMENT NOW
CHARLESTON, W. Va? Sept.
io?juuge ueorge w. mcisiinuc
In United States District court
today took under advisement the
case of R. S. Holly, a striking
miner from the Carbon Fuel Co.,
sought to have held guilty of violating
an injunction by refusing to
leave a company house. Captain
S. B. Avis, arguing in behalf of the
company, claimed that Holly's occupation
of the house not only
hindered production of coal because
homes were not available
for workers who might be hired if
houses could be obtained, but also
was part of a conspiracy in restraint
of trade. Harold W. Houston,
counsel for tho United Mine
Workers, in his argument declared
the injunction was not the
proper remedy and that the possession
of the house should be
contested on the ground that the
company and Holly were landlord
and tenant rather than in the relation
of master and servant as
the company contended.

Trying to Make Own
RegulationsReports
are current that some of
the miners in /Northern West Virginia
have grown arrogant since
the coal strike ended and are laying
down certain rules for their
guidance, which aparently doeB not
meet the approval of C. Frank
Keeney, Charleston, president of
district 17, United, Mine Workers |
of America, especially regulations
which are contrary to the arrangements
made between the operators .
and the miners.
Mr. Keeney in part today said 'It
is necessary that the miners co-operate
with the coal companies as
a contract cannot be regarded as
such unless both parties live up to
It. If the miner helps the company
be is helping himself. It necessary
to have mental .co operation. The
same arrangements are in force as
existed in 1920 when the agreement
was signed in Baltimore at which J
time -the miners' officials and the 1
operators decided upon them. No 1
one has the authority to change ]
these conditions."
In naoalnn t-"?. -1- - '
... I'uoun.o 4.41. ,?.cuuc/ umuc iuo |
point that the coal companies were |
not responsible for the limited cari
Bupply or late placements in the.
region. It is said that in some in- j
Btances the miners would not work
unless cars were placed at the
mines by 7.10 and on some occasions
would not load cars unless a
certain percentage were on hand.
The.miners and operators have!
their arrangements covering such I
conditions.

"Plans for a general clean-up o

"In view of recent events in th

tributors of wood alcohol in coo

of this person and to rid'Brooklyi
of this deadly poison.
"It was unfortunate that in th:
evidenco gatherod in the arrest

not get evidence that would out
J tain a charge of murder for certaii

The Blue Ridge,
"The Beauty Shop," the feature
film showing at the Blue Ridge to
day was taken from a Broadtvav
musical cornea}. ana ie lit'til]ea hy
Raymond Hitchcock-, who la supported
by several well known comedians,
and other players of ability.
A quack beauty lotion that works,

plot that la Intended only to furnish
light entertainment and amusement,
and if that is what you are
looking for, you will (ind it in this
picture.
The vaudeville ottering is made
up of (our parts,' the drat of which
was especially pleasing to the
small children present, and adults .
as well. A number ot well trained
dogs and cats assisted by their master
gave a clever performance
The second number was a aeries
of sllght-of-hnnd tricks and Jokes,
some of which fell flat, and others
were well received, particularly the
act ot cutting a lemon In half.
When the curtain was raised for
the third number, exclamations of .
surprise and delight were hoard all
over me nouse, Decauao or me
beauty of the Chinese setting thai
formed a fitting background for the
pretty Chinese: maid, Miss Dong
Fung Gue, who demonstrated that Sj
she could do many things and do m
them well, and she responded gra-?.;'ciously
to the enthusiastic reception
accorded her. Her work is
very high class and quite artistic
from every standpoint
The last part of the program Is >?
a comedy act by a company of *.
three that is ,only intended as a
laugh provoker and in that it succeeds
very well. ,
The Princess.
The story written by Sir Gilbert
Parker entitled "Over the Border,"
the screen version Of whlch.-fci
is showing at the Princess today; $2
relates the experiences of the >
French-Canadian folk of the %
northwest, and the mounted 'V
police.
Of the first named Jen Gal- ^
brooth (Betty Compson) Is a rep- \
resentative- of the fair sex whose !
father is the leader of a lawless ;
band, and Sergeant Tom Pla-. ^
herty, as played by Tom Moore,
is a member of the mounted, and ^
it falls ib his lqt to choose'
tween love and duty, as ??weAr^8
heart of the girl and an official ofs?
the law, and his decision is the.aP
dramatic climax to this thrilling^
story. . .''^1
These stories of life on the ?,
Canadian border are all prettrifq
much alike, but if yod like 'stir- '-Ty\
ring r^-blooded tales of adveh-- ?
ture, then you will like these narv/,?*
Most of the situations and the/jjl
setting are taken from real 'life^&l
and tne rolk are truo to type even^JH
though we may not approve of **
every thing they do, but they tend A'J
to show what change may he gfl
wrought through law enforce* 1H.
ment.
The Nelson
Many theatre goers do not cate ^
at all for western or mounted
police stories and for this class .J
there is not much choice in thtnfl
matter, for it is pretty nearly onelfl
or the other for today and tomor- ^
row at the three movie houses.
But while there are many in- J
eluded in the above group, there is ,--i
a large per cent of the regulars I
who really enjoy the pictures of- J
daring and great out door life, and
In "Rough Shop" appearing at the#3
Nelson today, Charles (Buck)
Jones gives a characteristic die* jJ
play of prowess and spirited
action and bravery, that you will W
like it you are one of the western m
fans. The scenes laid in Arizona.' ?1
A comedy completes the pro-ftl
gram.
The Dixie
The feature nicturo at the THria
"I Am The Law" Is also a story ot -ji
the Northwest, and It too, presents >3
In a striking manner the dangers, a
hardships and temptations ot this (1
far country and the law enforce- J
ment by the mounted police. "fH
In this Instance It Is brother'"/
against brother, In which the In'';;}
nocent suffers for the guilt of a A
younger brother whom he has
promised his mother to guide and ..ja
protect.
It Is a tragic story, but hld'ya
dramatic withal, and shows how ' ?]
In the end "murder will out" and .>
that those who do wrong will -V
some day reap tho reward of a n
mis-spent lite.
The young school teacher. asW
played by Alice Lake, gives us ~
some Idea of what hardships and,
dangers young women must tin- ,'t;
dergo In these outposts andS
sparsely settled communities, uUJHfi
but for the ' protection ot. th||9
mounted police they would sc'arce^SI
ly dare take the risks, that ariraH
Involved, but even the police prove JW
traitor to their trust sometimes, flffl
as the story brings out. 'jsK
