tuted by the United Mine Workers

| quiet through the summer The strik-
ers had asked for 40 cents a ton and
were offered 2S cents. Actual distur-
dances began Sept. 20 when the Chi
cago- Nirden company, the principal
mine owner at that point, imported 100
negroes from Birmingham When the
train arrived with them on board IL was
met by large body OF armed miners
who threatened to shoot the first negro
that stepped from the cars. The ne
groes were finahy prevailed upon TO re-
turn 10 the south and the mines were
not operated The governor steadily
refused 10 call out the state troops and
charged the operators with importing
ex convicts and an undesirable class OF
workmen.
President G.. W. Loucks made the fol-
lowing statements: I'VE simply desire
II state that our employees arrived at
Nirden about 1850 We stopped the
train opposite the gates so that the
men could go from the train into our
works, when Immediately the mob
hred from all directions, and naturally
our men defended themselves. We pro-
pose TO follow in the future as we have

tanning of our legal rights and shall
take proper steps TO secure redress

they are miners. miners officials. state

their rights under the constitution set
