Va., March 10.--(By A. P.) The last nppeals for con lictlon nnd acquittal of the sixteen men belnjc tried on nn indictment charging them with tho death of Albert C. Pelts, n private, detective, at Mntcvvan ten months ngo, were made to the jury today. J. J. Oonlff, who closed for the dofeuse, stressed the industrial con troversy in the Mingo district and charged that the coal operators did not want it unionized. He sketched Mayor Testcrman, who was killed in the street battle,, as a man "who died a martyr to his duty." Stilting It had boon testified that Albeit Kelts went to Tciitcrman preparatory to leaving Matewan and said, "Mayor I hope there's no hard feeling between us," Count turned to Attorney San der, who was to close for tho state, and remarked : "Let mo remind you that whoa just before Judas lscarlot betrayed his Sa Hour for thlrtv nieces of silver ho af fectionately kissed Him. So did 1'elts affectionately hug or shnko hands with Tctormnii. An am libit "Amen!" came from tho renr of the courttoom. Senator Tells Smyth and Caven Ho Has Not Turned in for "Contractor Rule" STILL OPPOSED TO VARE Senator Penrose reiterated his declarations of friendship for Mayor Moore in an interview with Frank II. Cnven, director of public works, and David J. Smyth, city solicitor, in Washington yesterday. The city officials left for the capital early yesterday morning, spent an hour with the senator in his office in the Senate building, nnd returned to this elty last night. Both spoko enthusi astically of tho apparent improvement in the health of Senator Penrose. "Tho senator is absolutely with tho Mayor," said Director Caven. "He stands for good goernment, nnd was most emphatic in asserting that he was against 'contractor rule.' "He was particularly explicit on this point," continued Die director, "nnd ald he hnd not receded ouo iota from tho (.mud bo took when he made tho fight against th contractors nt the Inst niaToraltv election." That tho senior senator from Penn sylvania Is determined Senator Varo hhttll be stripped of power Is IndicatoJ by his approval of the city street clean iing proposition. "Tho senator urged that at the earliest possible moment the city tnke over the entire job of street cleaning," said Director Caven. Mnnnlnr Ponlo'O did not disCUS the mililect of nalronnge or civil service positions. DRIFT FROM THE CITY Corporations Now Building Factories In Rural Districts American corporations have sought, as a rule, to build plants at or near large ciie. where them suppoedly was nn ample supply of Rultable labor. But tho building of factories at big cities has not proved altogether satisfactory, say Forbes Magazine. It ban been found that labor union agitators can exercise more inflammatory influence in large centers than where plants are located in the smaller communities. Th large oity plant often finds it difficult ti establish close, intimate, personal ro lations with its work people, whereas in n smaller town the executives who run the principal industries can nnd do verv often get closer to meir touts anu r rom now uu mrn- w- nimrwiii more building of n'jnlants away from rnnirestod renters The mogt nrogre Mve employers todav attach verv great importance to bringing about a spirit of loynltv among their people and they find that it is not so difficult to do this when their plant is either tho only one or one of a few in a community. This movement away from crowded industrial centers is to be welcomed. It is better lor all concerned, for pxnmplc. that new cotton mills ue mnir m -iexas inwav from metropolian cmoi, nna into nore rural districts.

F. L. President, Praise Bolshevik Rule "HAS PEOPLE'S MANDATE" By Hie Associated I'ross Hetrolt, March 10. Imputation of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, that leaders of the Detroit federation arc re ceiving or should receive compensation from the Hussinn Soviet Ciovcrnment because of their ndvocucy of recogni tion of thnt government, comes with bad grace nnd is unworthy of a reply, the local organization Informed Mr. Gom pers In a letter made public here today. The letter, in reply to one In which Mr. Gonipcrs accused Detroit union leaders of being servants of the Soviet government, defends the Ilusslan Gov eminent and renews the rccommendntion that it bo accorded recognition. "The Soviet Government," it nsterts, "pos seses a better mandate from the Ilus slan people than does any other govern ment on the face of the earth." Mr. (tampers' statement that the Ilus slan Government has nothing of value to export is declared nt variance with general information from apparently re liable sources. llesumptlon of trnde with Ilussla. the letter adds, "would in Mine measure temporarily relievo tho suuenng American workers are now I forced to endure because of the unem iployiucnt sltuntion." ' Lack of organization among workers here, which Mr. (tampers charged to the local federation, Is explained by the statement that the Detroit body has op posed to It the largest nnd best-or-ganir.ed "open-shop" employers' asso ciation in tho United States. The fact that Michigan Is known ns the "grave jard of organizers" Is cited as proof that the condition is not dun to lack of effort on tho part of the Detroit fed eration leaders. Hughes Wins Cable Lines for the U. 5. CoutlniKtl from l'aro One fectlvely on the problems that have come before him, in the l'nnnmo-Costa Itiru incident, in regaid to the possible reference of that dispute to the I.engue of Nations and in regard to relations with our late allies, no that the dis tribution of the German cnbles was quickly nnd satisfactorily effected toward this country. Kuropc Also Satisfied Knrope is satisfied with the pro-ally attitude of the new ndmlnUtration, so that the threatened nppeal of Germany for our good offices in settlement of thq reparations dispute hn.s been averted. On the basis of closer co-operation with France, Great Britain und Ituly, n movement is under way, as already in dicated in thpse dispatches, to untie tho League of Nutious from the treaty by discharging It of its obligations in the enforcement of the treaty. Once this reparation is effected tho league may he altered or abandoned for a new as sociation of natlous nnd the treaty oH orsallles may bo considered on its merits as a treaty free from the con troversy regarding tho league, which nlonc prevented its ratification by the nenatc mst year, perliapa with rcserva tlous. Thin is n considerable nccotn plishment for a man who two weeks ago was new to tiie problems o foreign iclntions. It Is an accomplishment not without influence upon the Senate foreign re lations committee with which it was predicted that tho new secretary of state would have difficulties. This commit tee is not the compact nnd united force that It onco wnH. So far ns Senntor I)dge, tho chairman, in concerned, there is every indication thnt he is working in entire harmony with Mr. Hughes. To sum it nil up. this country, for the first time since Mr. Hoot occupied thut post, has a real secretary of state, one with ndeunte energy to master the problems of tho department and with sufficient decision to have nnd not unon polh ies. So far lis tho President is concerned, the Indications nre thnt he is allowing his cabinet members to be die real beads of tlmlr departments in sisting onlv on full conference nnd understanding among them nnd between them and the leaders of Congress.

When President Harding Is ready to open negotiations with other nations on the subject of n new nssoclntlon of nations, disarmament or nny of the problems that must be solved in n readjustment of the international relations of the United States, he will proceed through the regular diplomatic channels. He will not employ nny secret envoys or personal representatives. This wns made plain at the White House yester day. At the same time It wns emphati cally denied that the President nnd the cabinet hnd reached an ngreement to send the trenty of Versailles to the Senate with the League of Nations roiennnt left out. This matter is still under discussion. It can be stnted authoritatively that no decision regarding the course to be followed in re -establishment of n tech nical peace with Germany will bo made until further conferences nre held by the President with the Republican mem bers of the forcljn relations committee It. wns learned vnctnnlnv tlinfr 2i eat Britain is prepared to come to terms with the United States on nn American -lueil eovennut. The Rritish Government has no Intention nt n.'cscnt of disnntch Ing a Mieclal mission to Wnshineton. cither to submit proposals or to hear what the United States has to offer. Great Rrltaln, nnd for that matter, France, too, Is not in position to say what she will "give" until the United States has mndc soma intlmntion ol what she will "take." All concerned concede reformation of tho league Is going to bo on the bargaining basin. Tho .Rritish views have not attained n definite place, hut while It is Impossi ble to givo a detailed outline of changes acceptable bo Rrltain until the views of this country nre known, tho Rritish at titude rests ou these general princi ples: First, The Rritish Government looks upon the league as a fact. It is func tioning. It must not be scrapped. Second. Great Rrltain docs not care whether the organization set up in Versailles and now domiciled in Geneva is called n league or a society or an as sociation. Third. The Rritish do not share American susceptibilities ns to the "supergovcrnment" seen to exist in tho council or nssemniy oi tno league, uncy t-nv thev nro as jealous of their "sov ereignty" as the United Stutcs is of hers aud discern no dnngcr to it in the league, ns now constituted. Fourth. The Rritish Government looks iiDon the league nnd the treaty ns inseparably intern o en. It believes in the Icnguc not only ns a permanent institution but ns un instrument for giving effect to tho provisions of the treaty. Fifth. Great Rrltain has no in supcrnblo. objections to clnrifylug or Interpictntlvo American "reservations" that leave tho structural framework of the league intact.
