to educate these girls in the various
duties of household employment and

For a couple of days past the work
Of evicting striking miners from their
houses has been in progress at Glen
dale. Five families were moved out
yesterday and more are to follow. The
operators went TO a Moundsville JUS
tice of the peace and easily got judg-
ment for rent and a constable was i'm
mediately detailed to Gust the tenants
from their homes.
This scheme was tried by operators
in Wheeling recently but failed. The
miners made no resistance and all
moved out their household effects be-
fore the constable arrived, but one re-
manned and was forcibly elected. Each
of the miners who was ousted only
owed SO for a half months rent. That
they were in debt only half month
rent is due to the fact that the amount
of two weeks rent is retained by the
company from the miners wages IN
advance. The miners and their faml-
lies who were rendered homeless are
being cared for by others for the time
being, but if the evictionS continue the
Glendale people will be in a discourag-
ing condition, without homes and with
only what food is given them by the
relief committee.
The conditions under which these
men are forced TO live and contend
with are almost beyond Imagination, II
the miners stories are to be believed.
One of the miners, an American and
quite intelligent, gave Register man
Yesterday a statement, which, II true,
and there is no reason to doubt IT,
shows that the condition of the Glen
dale miner is not a whit better than a
state of serfdom. According TO the
present system there is absolutely no
hone for the miners Of ever rising
above their present conditions. They
are not only reqSired TO buy their
supplies and provisions from the COM
pany store and are charged high
prices, their wages entirely eaten up
and drawing blank envelopes on pay
day. but they claim that they are
plunged hOpelessly into debt by beng
compelled to buy and invest their mo-
ney in things for which they have no
use. nor from which can they derive
any benefit.
There are about 100 men at Glen
dale. About one-fourth Of these are
Americans, and ever since the begin
ming of the strike the Americans have
been laboring continuously, frequently
remaining and talking with them I'M
iii after midnight, to prevent them
from returning to work at the de-
mands of the operators, who have been
