WEST VIRGINIA FIGHT
CAUSES MINERS WORRY
Over ST., 100000 Has Already Been
Spent in Effort to Organize
the State.

There is one district of the United Mine
Workers in which there is a standing fight
between the organization and the operators
of the large coal mines. The district in
cludes the entire State and while in some
localities the relations are as amicable as
could be desired in the interior among the
mountains, the organization has had more
trouble than in any other region in the
country. There are certain mines in the
mountains where the operators will not
allow a member of the organization to tres
pass, so bitter is the opposition against or
ganized labor. Into some of the mines the
operators have brought Italian workmen
and literally held them in bondage by keep
ing guards over them and allowing them
intercourse with miners who mem
bers of the organization. Efforts have been
nifty, but until recently no success has
come from them.
ID. c. Kennedy, of Dana, is president of
the district, and is attending the present
convention in this city. Mr.. Kennedy said
last night: Although we have had bit
tains of West Virginia, we are making
material gains in spreading our organiza-
ton among them Almost $1,00000O has
been spent by the United Mine Workers
in this district within the past year in the
attempt to perfect teh organization. At
which we hope to get more money at the
present convention in order to fight to a
finish. Our growth in the district within
the last few months has been wonderful.
an diff we continue at the present rate
believe we will have one Of the strongest
of the operators arc working men in bond
age, btu we are putting a stop to it."

he desired peace, but had nothing to re-
tract.

never sung other than a low ditty to his

that his voice was uncertain and so did the
convention. When Delegate Farley re-

the rear OF the hall shouted the name of
