SLIGHT HOPE FOR GORDON AS CAMP Washington, July 24.?:There is slight hope that Camp Gordon will be selected as the one southern camp under the economy program of the war department which calls for the abandonment of six camps and the retention of only three in the. entire country. Secretary Weeks announced Saturday the intention of the depart ment to abandon six 01 trie nine camps now in existence. He intii mated that Camp Dix, New York, and Camp Lewis, Washington, would be retained. The third camp, he said, would be located either in the middle west or in the south- There is a possibility of action favoring the south because of climatic conditions, i?i j-i.~ TXToat- is nnlllnc for i/Uls UIJ.C Wiuuiv vvvv* .v rr ? _ recognition and it would not surprise observers here to see the war department designate Camp Grant, near Chicago, as the third camp. The chief competitor of Camp Gordon is Camp Jackson, at Columbia, S. C. The Atlanta camp now is In process of dismantling. The Columbia camp is retained and just now is the headquarters of the Fifth division. ! v An impartial survey of the situation this afternoon Indicates that Jackson rather than Gordon will be retained as the southern camp if the south wins out over the middle west. Undoubtedly Caimp Gordon possesses superior advantages, particularly in transportation facilities, ~ 1' " over the ssoutn <jarouna. tamp, uuo it must be taken into account that J Gordon has been allowed to "run down" and the dismantling is under way. So far, members of the Geor' gia. delegation have been unable to get approval for its use even as a hospitalization site. ' The Public Health Service has decided to retain the " hospital which it now is leasing at Augusta, Ga., for sick soldiers. It plans to ibuy this hospital. There is a tentative plan for establishing a site either in Georgia or South Carolina for the housing of incapicitated soldiers of the negro race. Camp Gordon might ?mmmm???? I ?

A. M. Belcher, for the, operators in charged that a conspiracy was enter- hi ed into 23 years ago, had existed h since and culminated a year ago in gj the strike, accompanied by disorders m in the Mingo non-union field. Opera- n tors employing union miners in the b four nearby states, Mr. Belcher contended became alarmed because w I West Vrginia coal was being mined g< ' cheaper and cutting into their mark-1 w ets. uy encouraging uuiuuuiuk ux j_, the West Virginia fields, he charged, n they hoped to increase cost of pro- j duction there, with the possibility al- o; so that output might be cut down by a recurrence of strikes. _ . c< Thomas L. Lewis, secretary of the f< New River, W. Va., Coal Operators cl Association, testified that at joint b conferences (between Union Miners la and operators competing wifh West Virginia non-union mines, the devel- a; opment of the West Virginia proper- S ties was viewed with alarm. It was tl deemed imperative, he said, that the d mines should be unionized. L be used for that, although there is ^ no real agitation behind such a sug- a gestion. Members of the Georgia ^ delegation expressed today their in- c. tentioa to ^follow closely the camp ^ situation and impress the advan- ^ tages of Camp Gordon if Secretary g Weeks decides to retain one camp p in the southern states. However, statements imade by Secretary Weeks to newspaper men and members of; congress interested indicated that the three surviving o: camps most likely ?will be located in ei the east, the middle west and on the N Pacific coast and if a southern r< * | camp is selected Camp Jackson, in (P< I South Carolina, today has the ad- e? vantage over Camp Gordon.
