Miners ask White House protection for West Virginia prisoners
A UMWA committee leaves Indianapolis for Washington to appeal to President Harding for protection of 195 West Virginia state prisoners held in Mingo and Logan counties. The group cites federal troops in the area and alleges jeering by Logan sheriff Don Chatin.

The convention also pursues a condensed three day speed up and ongoing factional disputes slow progress. The delegation includes J B Wiggins, F C Hughes, and E J Giles.
