The miners' leaders also demand
that the scale of pay now in use in
the Kanawha field be adopted in the
Mingo county bituminous field here.
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.
