TWO CENTS

Mine Organizers Give up At
tempt in Disgust.

They Find That West Virginia Miners
are Smart Enough to Take Care OF
Their Own Interests Effort OF Out
i siders to Get Them in Mess Is Tn
availing aud has Been Abandoned.
A Fairmont correspondent gives
the following account OF the situation
/ In the coal region OF that community.
The Organizers OF the United Mine
! Workers Of America, who are retiring
! disguised aud defeated In their efforts
to bring the miners OF this State into
their union. have outlined method
by which, they say, they were tricked
by the operators. aud by which not
only were their efforts nullifled, but
many supposed converts to the prin-
| ciple OF unionism were put on the
slate for discharge and black listing.
Two OF these organizers who left this
place Sunday told the following In
teresting story:
about two weeks ago when IL be-
came apparent to the leaders of the
miners union that an open campaign
by the well known mass meeting
method would not be effective In the
West Virginia field, plan or night
work was iuaugurated. Secret organ
izers Of the union stealthily made the
rounds of the miners houses under
the cloak OF darkness and when con-
vert 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 consistency
were not long In discovering the plans
for night campaign.
mot only was close watch placed
upon all the miners houses, fake or
ganizers, In the employ Of the opera
tors, were sent out In the guise OF
miners leaders, and after swearing in
the susceptible miners they forthwith
made report OF their actions To the
operators. 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 a
long list for discharges was made
1t was impossible for the miners
to tell who were legitimate organizers
dha nv WIZ hoOf 40 tDS HIGH w nv
were given commissions to organize
were local men and the fake organizers
were likewise. 1t was, therefore, i'm
possible To distinguish the agents OF
the miners union from the agents OF
the operators. This last circumstance
broke the back Of the endeavor OF the
miners union 10 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 the departure OF Evans
aud Warner the campaign is without
"a director. Thomas Haggerty, OF
Central Pennsylvania, who has been
handling the miners campaign from
Clarksburg, will leave for his home to-
day. Reliable reports from the field
state that the sum total OF the efforts
Of the organizers In that section was
the reorganization Of three locals
which had lapsed in the past two
years. These are IN the Kanawha
districts.

A single issue OF the Fairmont

sonal items:
Since the signs of the times indicate
that something will soon fall about
the University, many or the distin-
guished Professors are seeking
cover"
Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1901-01-04

1t is safe to say that while some Of
our new lawmakers may be ignorant
Of many important questions which
will have to be considered by the next
Legislature, there will not be one who
has not heard OF the University.
Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1901-01-04

We do not now, or never have believ-
ed, that the University Is being man
aged in the interest Of partisan pol
titles. We wish it was. In that case
great political party would assume
the responsibility and so shape things
as not to be displeasing to the people
who make or break political parties.
This would indeed be preferable to a
course mapped out by an cratic gen.
tleman, without much experience,
and carried out by gentlemen, intelli-
gent and level headed upon all other
questions, but who seem to be hypno-
tlzed whenever they approach the con-
sideration Of University matters.
