ONE HUNDRED MEN KIDNAPPED.
Union Miners Wait for Nom Union Men and
Send Them Out of Town

Knoxville. Tenn Nov 6.-Trouble between
union and non-union miners of the Coal Greek
district broke out late yesterday. and general
fight ensued at the mines of the Coal Greek
Company. AS one hundred non-uniOn miners
came from work in the Thistle mine they were
met by two hundred union miners. who, after
assaulting several Of the nOn-union men, took
the whole number prisoners, marched them to
the railroad station and put them on the train
for Jellico paying fares for each.
The Coal Creek Company accepted the
scale Of wages adopted by the recent operators
and miners conference, but the company pro-
posed to make contracts with the individual
miners instead of with the union. This was
com bated by union miners, with the result that
the company recently ordered all union miners
10 quit its emplc, and vacate Its houses Eject
u1ent suits followed, and are set for hearing on
November 10. This company has for years en-
ploved both union and non-union miners, and
has paid the union scale.
