agent of the operators, they were all dis
charged without further punishment
We think the Operators are far worse
than the men can possibly be. The evidence
showed that they put up notice at the
mines, that on and after certain date they
would only pay such price, and then when
the men refused to work for that price, they
''black listed them; that is they made out
lists of the men and sent them all through
the mining regions to prevent other opera
tors from giving them work. If this is not
worse conspiracy than any the men were
guilty of, then we are much mistaken. We
believe in protecting the rights Of labor,
and if owners of coal mines can combine to
fix their own prices. surely the miners ought
to be permitted to combine for their own
protection. This was an interesting case,
and was ably tried by the Counsel on both
sides.
