Il have had On experience OF twenty
four years in coal mining" said MIR.
Kelley, "and this strike is the most
senseless | ever knew. Our own miners
in tho Clearfield district have made no
demand OF US whatever, and We do not
know why they rofuse to work unless,
through sympathy with the miners in
other sections, they want to stop all
coal production. Our miners belong
to no labor organization.
"The operators believe thoy sec signs
Of weakness among the strikers. They
areunable to stop production in Wost
Virginia and Maryland, and this fact
operates very seriously ugainat them.
AS our " miners, il they will not
work We shall surely got those who will.
The Berwind White company is rushing
new men to their mines BY the car loud
md fast getting into conditionto operate
all.their mines. !,
IL think that the miners are deceived
aa to the conference. While tho opera
tors wero willing to meet delegates rep
resonting employees, although chosen by
the labor organizations they required
that the employees should be bound by
tho action OF their representatives. We
had assurances TINT such would be the
case, but We think this assurance was
withheld from the minors by tho labor
leaders. About tho fret thing wo
learned OH reaching Altoona was that
before action taken by the men could
be binding it would have to DO .ap-
proved by National President Mcbride.
If the employees could not act ior them
selves we determined that a conference
was useless and go non was held,
although several operators had informa!
talks with the workmen."
The Berwind White Co. alone has
$500 mon idle in the Cleartield and
jefferson regions.
