publicly denied in the meeting of the
trustees all responsibility for the ac-
ton of Attorney Stewart.

MINERS FORCING 1T.
How They Will Eject Organization
in Maryland.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-John Mitchell.
president of the United Mine Workers
of America. has abandoned all hope of
organizing the miners of Maryland and
West Virginia without outside assist
ance. that will bring such strong pres
sure upon the operators that they will
be forced to unionize their own mines
in self-defense.
To that end, a movement was started
to-day in Chicago to protest against
the awarding of public contracts to
firms handling Maryland and West
Virginia coal, and this movement is to
spread all over the United States where
ever labor is organized. The teamsters
unions have entered into compact
with the miners to tie up the output
of the boycotted mines, and they will
refuse to deliver it on any public con-
tract.
A committee headed by President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor called on Mayor Harrison to-
day and notified him that if contracts
for West Virginia or Maryland coal are
awarded the teamsters will refuse TO
deliver it. Mayor Harrison promised
TO submit the bids for coal to the COM
nittee.
