This was the view which representa-

president Wilson at the white house.
In the face of conflictnig expres-
sions fiom prominent Democrats in
congress as to the necessity of currency
reform at the present session it is
the avowed purpose of the administra-
tion to launch a currency bill in the
house and 'senate before Friday of this
ween which will be accompanied or
followed by the president s message d
scribing what he believes to be the
necessity for banking reforms. Then.
according to Mr. unocrwooo. tne pian
of the house will be to thoroughly dis-
cuss the new banking proposals and
await the expression of the newspapers
of the country and the opinion of the
banks and business men generally as
to the merits of the Democratic pro-
posals. Should the discussion of the bill
in congrcKH be backed up by an insist
ent demand from the countrv at large I
for an immediate revision of the cur- j
rency system it is the belief of the ad- !
ministration that the senators and rep- i
rescntativfcs will not ield to the pleas j

tions will end here tomorrow night
News of- critical conditions in the
hills continued to come into Charleston
today. All the union officials declared
they were doing their best to keep the
men on Cabin Creek and Paint Creek
at work.
The operators in town said they were
having no difficulty running their

A wordy controversy between C. C.
Watts of counsel for the operators
and senator Martme enlivened the
opening of today's session. Senator
Martine was examining Dr. J. W. Ash-
by physician for the Cabin Creek Con-
solidated Coal company as to sanitary
conditions in the strike sone. Dr. Ash-
by said sanitary conditions were as
"good as they were anywhere else
around mines." The senator contra-
dicted this statement and when he and
the witness engaged an in argument
Mr. Watts interfered.
"Mr. Chairman I object to the sen-
ator who is supposed to be sitting as
a fair judge" he shouted "browbeat-
ing and bullying this witness. He
should not take advantage of his posi-
tion aa a senator of the United States."
Senator Martine leaped to his feet
and shouted:
"I am a senator of the United States
and I'm exercising my prerogative as a
senator. You gentlemen with wealth
and power at your command should
provide sanitary conditions to protect
the lives of these working men."
"West Virginia." interrupted Mr.
Watts "does not need to go to the
mosquito ridden swamps of New Jer-
sey to learn sanitation."

Both senator Martine and Mr. Watts
were arguinfp- heatedly when senator
Kenyon interrupted.
"Either stop this or let's adjourn"
tie said and senator Swanson took com-
mand of the situation. Senator Swan-
son defended the position of senator
Martine and reprimanded Mr. Watts.
. Quinn Morton who owns several
mines on Cabin -Jree was examined at
length as to he negotiations which
preceded the strike. He said the con
tracts for the output 01 in mines were
made 4a 1910. and m----
This nrecluded his paying the increase
in wages demanded by the miners. He
I went into detail on tne miners- oe-
mands and replies of the operators and

a question or recognition or tne union.
Attn-- hy Armored Train.
Martine interrupted Morton's storv
of ne?otiaitlons to demand that he tell
what he knew of the armored train at-
tack on Holly Grove camp. Mr. Morton
described arranging for the trip with
sheriff Bonner HilL and buying 31
rifles in Charleston to arm the men on
the train. Mr. Morton asserted that be-
fore the tra.n reached Holly Grove the
liarhts were turned down on the train
because sheriff Hill said the train was
liaeiy 10 oe snoi up
Sheriff Hill was in charge of the
train according to Morton. He said he
saw a cabin crowded with women and
children just before the train reached
Holly Grove. "It was our belief" he
said "that women and children had
j been removed from there by the miners
and mat we were going 10 rait i-
