Charles F. Keeney, president of district No. 17 of the United Mine Workers who is in command of the union forces, explains the situation here by, saving : , 35,000 Men Unorganiied. "There are approximately 55,000 organized miners in West Virginia and 35,000 who have not" yet been organized. These unorganized men are mostly in the counties tof Mingo, McDowell Logan, Raleigh, Mercer and Wayne, all in the southern part of the state. The campaign to or ganize these miners is well under way and we expect to have it com pleted, before the snow flies. "The men arid the operators could get together and settle this thing if it were not for the mine guards. They are depriving the men of their constitutional rights and that brings bout trouble. Why, I understand the sheriff of Pike county has depu tized some 300 men and the coal companies are paying them, while detectives are on the border between Mingo and McDowell counties with rifles and machine guns. , . Situation Is Powder Mill. "What would .happen if an attempt-were made to operate ihe mines here with nonunion jnenr I i wouldn't like to say. But in their j present temper fbf e "men are not to oe tooico. witn. Kignt now tnis sit uation is a powder mill. The men have no complaint when the law is enforced by the proper authorities. But they -will oppose to the last the use of private armies enlisted by the ton! companies." i Harry Olmstead , of the Coal Operators' association of , Wiljiam-' son. gave the other side of the con troversy. "The United Mine Workers want to-organize their field," said Mr. Olmstead. "and then move oh to thej larger and, more. important fields of McDowell, Wyoming, Mercer coun ties, and what mines have hot Been organized in Ralelglv These aM the last important unorganized bituminous-coal fields in the country and. with these organized, the union will control the b'tuminous production of the United States. - Will Enforce Demands; "They will then he in position to enforce the demands formulated at the Cleveland convention last year, and which they could not enforce in the general coal strike last year, he- 1 cause our mines in this part of the state were operating and our men stuck to their posts.. We saved the country from suffering then because this 4eld was not organized. ..'.The Kanawha scale which the wion demands is less than the scale we are now paying, and I don't know ..that the question of treatment or' working conditions has entered into the controversy. It is iist a ouestion of the United Mine Work-' ers unionizing the mines, with all that such' a course carries. We ob iect to that, because fo,r a matter of 20 years we have enioved peace and timet here in this field, and I may say that because of his we have made the success of this field possi ble. ;. Differences Are Settled. "All differences have been settled by operators a1 miners and set tled satisfactorily. I know of some un ion " men who have come in here from union fields, but they left just r. soon "as the. union organizers came in last spring. I don't believe there is any basic unfon sentiment in the field, because the men have al wavs made good money. ' "The mines are among the best in Hie state. We have no gas and con sequent n explosions, and the lying conditions in the valley are good. ' ' " "The Baldwin-Felts detectives, about whom one hears so fnuch, are not employed to guard property, and in no sense are they mine guards. In fact, there is not a mine guard in Mingo county. , These men are em ployed by the companies as any cor poration which does not . have its own intelligence department em ploys such men."' 4 The Mingo district produced last year about 6,000.000 tons of coal, worth -about $16,000,000, with the loss of only six lives, according to T. W.: St. Clair, state mine inspector for that district. Navy Seeks Contract y For 3,000,000 Barrels Of ai for Its Ships Washington, July 30.
