Abandoned by the United Mine
Workers.
FAIRMoNT, w. VA Jan. 1.-Or-
ganizers of the United Mine Work
ers of America, who are retiring
disgusted and defeated in their ef-
forts to bring the miners of this
state into their union have outlined
method by which, they say, they
were tricked by the operators, and
by which not only were their efforts
nullihed, but many supposed con-
verts to5the principal of unionism
were put on the slate for discharge
and blaoklisting, Two of these or
ganizers Who left this place Sun
day told the following interesting
story:
about two weeks when it be
came apparent to the leaders of.
the miners' union that an open
campaign by the we'll known mass
meeting method would not be eff
feotive in the West Virginia field,
plan Of night work was inaugurated.
Secret organizers of the union
stealthily made the rounds of the
miners houses under the CLOAK of
darkness, and when convert WAS
made he was sworn into the ranks
of the union with great caution and
secrecy. The operators, however,
who have fought the efforts of the
miners leaders with great presist-
ENJOY, were not long in discovering
the plans for night campaign.
mot only was close watch
placed upon all the miners houses,
but fake organizers, in the employ
of the operators, were sent out in
the guise of miners leaders, and
after swearing in the susceptible
miners they forthwith made re-
port of their actions TO the opera
tors. In this way the operators
were enabled to get list of all the
men who turned willing ear to
the arguments of the organizers,
and long list for discharges was
made
sit was impossible for the miners
to tell who were Legitimate organic
ers and who were not, as the men
who were given commissions to or
ganize were local men and the fake
organizers we're likewise. II was,
therefore, impossible to distinguish
the agents of the miners union
from the agents of the operators.
This last circumstances broke the
back of the endeavor of the miners
union to organize the West Virginia
field at this time"
Chris Evans, national organizer
of the United Mine Workers, who
had charge of this campaign, has
left the field. With tho departure
of Evans and Warner the campaign
is without director. Thomas
Haggerty of Central Pennsylvania,
who has been handling the miners'
campaign from Clarksburg, will
leave for his home today, Reliable
reports from the field state that the
sum total of the efforts of the or.
ganizers in that section was the
reorganization of three locals
which had lapsed in the past two
years. These are in the Kanawha
district.
