Harding declines to use troops in Tug River border clash
Washington May 17 President Harding told Governor Morgan of West Virginia he would not dispatch federal troops to the Tug River border dispute until state forces are fully tested. Secretary Weeks noted troops are a last resort. Kentucky has state forces and Virginia has local officers on scene. Attorney General Dougherty said if the trouble worsens, federal aid could be justified. Estimates of casualties vary, with reports noting six or more killed light compared to other tallies. Observers say agitators may originate from Colorado and Alabama, not the West.
