"The result was that agitators

first six months of the present year
there was distinct setback.
The beauties the miners union are
we'll illustrated by the present state
of affairs at the mines of the Cen
trail Coal and Iron Company. The
drivers went on strike at Echols
this week, and that mine was tie
up. The mines of that section-all
under union rules-have done we'll
to make half time recently, notwith-
standing an abundance of coal Or
ders. At other mines some of the
men do not appreciate the value of
the "official organ" union paper
printed at Madisonville, and refuse
to subscribe for it. President Wood
is reported as saying that these men
must quit the order and the proba-
bi1ities are the miners of that section
may be called out. On the other
hand all the miners in Hopkins,
Christian and Webster counties are
as busy as bees. More coal is being
dug than ever before in spite of

AGITATORS
RESPONSIBLE.
MINERS WILL NOT UNIONIzE.
That's Among Charges Made by Hopkins
County Lawyer-NOt Properly
Strike, He Says.
Nashville Evening News.)

Nashville Evening News.)
Much has been said in the
press recently regarding the min
ing troubles in Kentucky, but
the causes have not been dis
cussed quite so generally nor in
such detailed manner as the
depredations of the miners, the
acts of the guards and all that
sort Of thing. 1t happens that a
prominent lawyer of the Maids
onville, Hopkins county, bar is
in the city today, and as he rep
resents several of the mining
companies which are involved, is
naturally in a good position to
understand why the trouble came
about, as we'll as to know what
the present condition is.
He does not care for his name
to be used, for the reason that he
represents the companies, though
this morning, when seen by a
reporter for the Daily News, he
did not hesitate to talk regarding
the situation.
"What are the conditions ?"
was asked.
"The best way for you to get a
correct idea of the situation and
the conditions" he replied, sis
to go down there and let the ag-
itators take a shot or two at you.
Then you'll know the wholeetory.
$50 far as the operation of the
mines in Hopkins, Christian and
Webster counties are concerned,
they are being run to full capac-
ity, and the output during each
of the months of the trouble has
oded that of any correspond
asnhistory of min
mat seS ifxee state.
SIN this connection | want to
say that it is improper to denom-
mate the trouble strike, for it
is not. Take our county--Hop-
, kins-for example, we have not
had a strike in eighteen years
and there are no union men en-
ployed, nor will they be employed
in the mines being operated
there. The disturbances have
been brought about by imported
fellows from mines in Illinois,
Indiana, Alabama and Tennessee,
who are nothing more or less
than common agitators.
''Really the trouble originated
from men who came from Muhl-
ensburg, Hancock, Union and
Mclean counties, who were de-
manding of the mines with which
they were working an increase
of wages. The reply to this de-
mand was that under the exist
ing conditions it would be i'm
possible to pay more, but a writ
ten contract was entered into be-
tween the miners and the mine
operators that better scale of
wages would be paid, provided
the mines of Webster, Hopkins
and Christian were closed up, or
if the output of those mines
could be reduced eighty per cent.
The increase under the contract
was to become effective when the
work was done.
