The cause Of the outbreak of miners
in the Kanawha Valley, West Virginia.
II ~ stated, arises from the fact that the
owner OF tbc mines ut Hawks Nest pays
his men 30 cents per ton. while all 9TH
or operators are paying 30 cont4. This
enables him To- undersell the latter. Who
in measure cease operations, throwing
many men out OF employment. To re-
medy this, delegations Of miners took
the Chesapeake anil Ohio trains for the
Hawks Nest mines, refusing 10 pay fare,
and after consultation influenced mum.
Der Of the miners TO refuse TO work for
lcss than So cents a ton, and interfered
with othcrg who did not do SO. Troops
were ready TO go to tee scene on Sunday
last in case Of further trouble.
At the instance Of the owner Of The
Hawks Most mine, the Charleston City
Guards, Maj. Appleton, proceeded 10
that point on Monday last TO protect the
working miners from the strikers.
