Pittsburg Crisis in Miners' Strike at Region Mines
Pittsburg August 11. A crisis looms in the miners movement against the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company as the next days may decide if the strikers goals are met.

Bailey Nominated for Appellate Clerk by Kentucky Republicans
James G. Bailey of Magoffin County, clerk of the court of appeals, was nominated by the Republican state convention in Louisville at Music Hall.
