mine owners were desirous of con
tinuing work, but no, the leaders said
no one should work. although the un-
ion scale and same hours prevailed.
The constitution guarantees the right
of every man and woman to earn a
living and there was only one course
left, that OF furnishing protection. Had
there been a question of hours or
wages among the miners there would
have been some excuse for their ac-
ton, but none existed. Therefore, no
reasonable person can honestly charge
anarchy as The result of miIitarism.
