Professor George L. Gardner,

A HOT SHOT.
FOR NEWS
Mine Workers Journal Pours
Broadside into e'Inconse-
quential" PIu.ocratic
Organ.

The current issue of the United
Mine Workers Journal has the
following to say OF the Charleston
News editorially:
III there was any one thing
lacking to prove how well the Hon.
John Nngent, president of District
IL, is serving his fellow miners,
that one thing is supplied by the
ungraclous attacks of the Charles
ton News, an organ of ill sorted
monopoly. The News seems to
think that if any laws are en:cted
that will help curtail the weekly
Slaughters in the mines of that
state, that they are attacks upon
special privilege.
1t is hard to understand the cast
of n mind that places special priv
ilege above above human life and
looks with the utmost complacency
upon the awful disaster. Presi.
dent Nugent is not attacking prop
erty when he attacks the melhods
of handling that property, methods
as reckless, as dangerous and as
sure to kill and MAIN as an idiot
would handling nitroglycerine. He
is not attacking liberty save W hen
that liberty extends itself into a
license to make widows and
orphans with impunity. There is
no attack upon vested rights. save
when those rights are diverted in
to wrongs. and hapless mems lives
and limbs are being sacrificed
theref ON.
The News deplores in common
with many other papers and many
heads of corporations the agitation

against corporations and ouasi
public institutions. Let The News
ask itself, What has given life and
force to this agitationi Is it not
because the corporations notorious.

because the officials of these cor
pofatlcns have brazenly asserted i'm
unmlstakable language that the
creatures are greater than their
creators and that the latter have

The journal says to the Charles
ton News that the patience of the
people has become exhausted. and
there Is determination abound
ing as wide as the country and if
these corporations will not obey
the gentle legal curb they will be
torn up, root and branch. The
corporations have no one to blame
Tor this feeling but themselves.

Later the Governor visited the dis

lie ordered the troops to arrest
every miner that they could find.
There was no attempt to sift the
Innocent from the guilty. The
prisoners were brought in box cars
to Wardner and kept in the box

Ventlon-was put up.
HORRORS OF THE E.BULI, PEN -
1t was a high stockade, sur-
rounded with barb wire fence.
and patrolled inside and outside
night and day. More than iona
miners were taken by the negroes
and thrown into the "bull pen. -
The troops subjected many of them
to humiliating indignities. The
prisoners were compelled to do
menial work for the negroes. If
they refused they were dubbed or
prodded with bayonets. The quart
ers were insufficient for SO great n
number, and the sanitary con-
dition wretched. More than 400
remained in the "bull pen'' all
summer. In the autumn the grow.
ing indignation of the whole coun.
try reached the ears of Governor
Steunenberg and Sinclair. They
acted at once. The prisoners were
released and the troops sent out of
the State.
The "permit system,'' however,
still tlourishes. 1t was adopted by
the employers, and in all except
union camps a miner must show a
permit TO apply for work issued by
another employer. In 1900 came
loud demands for Il Congressional
investigation, and in March a reso-
luton to appoint a committee of
Investigation passed the House.
The whole summer was consumed
in taking evidence. BY strict
party vote, the Republicans sus-
tained the military. In a minority
report the Democrats cenSurpd the
State officials and the military. and
suggested that summary action be
taken by Congress. Governor
Steunenberg was beaten in the
next Democratic convention when
he appeared again as Il candidate
for Governor.

queStionably one of the most sen
sational as well as the most i'm
portant in the history of criminal
Jurisprudence in the United States.
