though they are more bitter in their de-
nunciation OF The United Mine Workers
Of America.
President T p. Fowler. Of the Scran-
ton Coal Company and the Ell, Hill
Coal and Iron Company. discusses the
miners organization as follows:
We deny that unions OF workingmen
tend 10 better the discipline OF the men
and TO the improvement Of their physi-
cal. mental. or moral conditions. and
10 the preservation OF friendly relations
between employer and employe. but as
sert. on the contrary, that since the
advent OF the organization called The
United Mine Workers of America" in the
anthracite fields. the workers there have
become demoralized; that those who
nave Joined the association have tyran-
nized over those who would not Join and
committed innumerable acts of violence
and oppression since they forced the
strike in May last in order to deter from
working those who wished to do so: that
they attempted the destruction of the
property Of the companies by calling out
the engineers, fremen. pump-runners.
