MUCH GRUMBlING AT .g fIg
STRIKE ASSESSMENT.
All Guns Sent to sturgis and Will be For

OTHER snooTINGs THAT MIscARRIED

Central City, Ky., Sept. 90
Especially. Your correspondent
attended a called meeting of
United Mine Workers at Central
City recently. About fifty men
were present. This meeting was
not called by the regular officials
of the order, but by would be-if-
they-could-be officers, one of
whom wanted ten nervy men
from each local to storm and
lombard Madisonville. He pro-
posed to move with his army
from Sturgis, where the guns of
the order are now kept.
The regular officials of the or
der opposed such foolishness aud
it was voted down. One of the
regular officials said the order
had tried this sort of business
once in Hopkins county and lost
out, and that he would quit the
order if any more shooting was
done. Another official said if
the nervy men wanted to go on
their own hook they could do so,
but that no U. M. w. money
would be used to defend them.
There were two st. Charles
men present, one of whom by
name of John claimed he
had shot at a st. Bernard man
recently, but missed him, but
that he would take better aim
next time.
The fifty-eight guns that were
kept in a certain boarding house
in Central City were recently
sent to Sturgis. ssas1 n''-
There is much grumbling at
the assessment of ten per cent.
for the Pennsylvania strike fund.
A Hillside miner claims that his
board, assessments and dues, and
bank expenses left him but fif-
teen cents for the two weeks
work. A Central City miner re-
piled that the 'scabs" in Hop
kins county were making far
more money than the union min
ers in Central City. Whereupon

PROPOSED THAT THEY
BOMBARD JACKSONVILLE.
Union Man In Recent Central City Meeting Wanted Ten shooters
.a From Each Local. t-r s

Hillside stated that "the union
has been a detriment to the min
ers for two years past. I'll tell
jim Wood or any of them that
the union only benefits the off,
GERS and is only id expense
to the miner. Wood and them
fellows run around and have a
good time and us poor devils have
to pay for it," The Central City
miner replied, "That's me ex-
actly and there are two-thirds of
the miners right here in Central
City that feel the same way, but
the d-n fools have not got the
nerve to say so."
At the big picnic at Sturgis,
Saturday, it was voted to send
the seventy-five guns on hand to
Linton, Ind. Some of the Stur-
gis men wanted to 60 to Hop
kins county and bushwhack. A
noted organizer, who has had
trouble with the law, told them
they could go to Hopkins but
that they would run into a bad
lot of men, who keep well posted
on the doings of the U. M. w. A
prominent official stated that
Hopkins county could never be
won peacefully. AT Sturgis a
negro was given a thrashing by
white U. M. WIS because he was
noisy IN a meeting.
l learned at Sturgis that the
guns which had been at Madison
vile have been taken to Sturgis.
l have the names of the parties
who packed them up and carried
them away from Madisonville.
Also know where they were kept
in Madisonville.
/, am told certain officials of
sub-district No. l, in July last,
planned to put a lot Of armed
men into the cornfield close by
the Reinecke mines to shoot into
the men as they came from work,
a large number of U. M. W. to
be holding a meeting in the court
house yard at the same time, the
purpose being to prove an alibi
If the shooters were found out.
But there were not enough nervy
men to volunteer.

Bee advised of warlike move
ments by Wood and Barnaby,

still making noble fight against
that dread ihonster, disease, with
strong hopes of yet winning.
One who knows whereof he
speaks says that a large body of
mineral lands have been already
secured by the st. Bernard Min
ing Company down near the line
of Hopkins and Webster counties
and that mine may be opened
there soon. f1 AA
President Baer, of the anthra-
cite operators, says the miners
were averaging $1.98 per day
when they struck. That don't
look like starvation wages, as
Mitchell would have people be-
lieve.
Rumor says that ex-President
Wood, of the once notorious
army of agitators who made a
raid upon the honest miners of
Hopkins and Webster counties,
committing more or less depreda-
tions, is now busily engaged upon
"a play to be soon put on the

and the strikers tale was believ-
ed. But you will see from a pe-
rusal of the clipping here repro
duced that the Bishop, although
highly praising Mitchell, says
nothing against him for the lead
ing part he takes in making coal
thieves of an ''honest old Scotch
man" and two Polanders, who,
according to his own statement,
were caught stealing coal, F" which
the reverend gentleman calls
"picking coal" and which pow
erty was brought on by the gang
calling strike. The Bishop
says: "The relief fund is being
disbursed with admirable discre-
tion." Yet it is evident that
none or very little cash ever
reached the pockets of the poor
miners, hence they are compell-
ed to resort to ''picking coal
from an abandoned mine" and to
do without their liquor:
"'At no time while we were
in the coal regions did we see
drunken man. l was amazed at
the peace and order everywhere,
after the reports of riot and mob
violence l had read in the news
papers. Day before yesterday
said Bishop Fallows, 'in Shenan-
doah they had what they termed
"an awful row." We took the
trouble to investigate it, because
we wanted to know both sides.
We found that two Polanders
and an honest old Scotchman,
named Sandy McLaren, had been
caught picking coal in an aban-
doned mine belonging to the Gil
rard estate. The Sheriff said he
was unable to arrest these men,
so a troop of cavalry and troop
of infantry were called out to
take Sandy and his friends into
custody Bishop Fallows says
further, concerning the relief
fund, that it is being disbursed
with admirable discretion. Il
find that, thanks to this fund,
there is surprisingly little suffer-
ing In the miners homes. l had
expected to see the most abject
poverty, but 1 find that the ma
josity of the families, while they
live frugally, are in no danger of
starvation so long as the relief
contributions continue to come
in.'
The new coal company lately
formed at Henderson to develop
coal land south of that place have
been forced, so rumor states, to
abandon their effort, on account
of too much water flowing into
the shaft. Another location will
be sought.
From many parts of the state
there continue to come glowing
reports of oil wells struck. Last
week five new wells were sunk
in Knox county, yet nothing
cheering or fiattering is heard
from the many tests being made
in that part of the state.
The Globe-Democrat, in COM
menting upon the anthracite
strike, says: ''The disorder in
the strike region is ominous.
When this comes the end of the
contest is usually near at hand.
The chances are that the strike
is almost over. The operators
have been boasting that from go
to 80 percent of the strikers
would return to work if the or
ganization would let them, and
many of the strikers themselves
have been saying the same thing.
1t now looks as if a break was
near"
Last Saturday was another
busy day for the clerical depart
ment of the st. Bernard Mining
Company. 1t being pay day and
thousands of dollars being paid
out, naturally the boys were kept
hard at work seeing that every
body received their just dues.
