§j. _ Your excellent article—5HENTUCLY HITS COMhUNISM—— ‘ ‘;,
1§· which appeared, with illustrations, in the April issue of the Kentucky tt
51 Progress Magazine, covered the situation admirably. I have filed a copy Y;
{yy; of it in my scrapbook number 14 (my number 1 was started in ICS4) for {
§ e&· reference and preservation. j.
j§“ The mountain people have shown a wonderful amount of I,
QI patience under the circumstances, and in taking these "but-in—skys" to jg
j the border and inviting them to make themselves scarce, was a milder gg
r.] medicine than woyld have been dosed out to them if they had visited some *{
;» other localities and attempted to "carry on" as they attempted to do in tl
I yours and the Harlan communities. I feel that Kentucky and all other gi
it _ points approve of the course pursued by the mountain people in their Q1
i efforts to protect their interests as against the Communistic agitators, Q;
yy and trouble makers. . A - Q.
I I ;`
jj I wagsurprised to learn how widespread the falsehoods of Qt
]§ the agitators had been spread by them. I had a caller for information, RI
if from a tourist, yesterday, Jaturday 8th, for information on routing, Lex- :’
i; ington to Asheville, N. C. I gave him the desired informatiortjxnimmd. On
4} being shown the routing from Corbin thru Cumberland Gap, he saw Pineville ·
ii on the map. he asked this question: "ls it safe to pass thru Pineville-. I
i' now?". I wanted to cuss, but held in and tried to explain that it had never 3.
It been a bit_dangerous at any time to pass thru, stop over or remain for days‘ fi
I in that part of the mountains, or anywhere in S. E. Kentucky, for that ` I,
i_ matter; and that the whole noise and trouble and agitation xxx had been j
y caused by outsiders, including Communistic and other paid writers who wanted gy
§I to raise trouble or money for theirmisrepresentations, etc. This tourist _§;
Q, r was a member of the Automobile Club of »ichigan, and living at 927 Hancock j
  Avenue, Detroit Lich., his name is Charles E. Stone._ He used the routing I
Q thru Fineville, but t doubt that he stopped in the city or dallied a ;·
j minute. [
{ I hardly know what to sugaest, but think it would not be I'
I a bad idea to place some literature in the hands of the Automobile Clubs ‘
  of the North, advising as to paceable conditions etc., down that way, in-
I viting tourists to stop over in that section, etc. Might be well to drop
·a line to the Manager of the blue Crass Automobile Club, Lexington, ry.,
and the Quxhsxixndxxxtsmuhiisxdlmhxaxxdaxlan east Tennessee Automobile _
‘ Club, Knoxville, Tenn., and ask them to make a short statement of facts { >
· regarding the situation in your locality. I feel that they understand the;
