wires apt tore out all the machinery
lately put in by the company, includ-
ing motor, pulleys, shafting, etc.
Mr. Gaines knew nothing Of the
dastardly work until he returned
from MOrganfeld. From what can
be learned Butcher, the general
superintendent of the mines, author-
lied this act because Mr.. Gaines
had Joined the commercial club here
on Thursday night, which club was
reported to Butcher as having been
organized for the purpose of settling
the strike, which report was unbound
ed, as some Of the strongest nom
union men in the town we're its pro-
moters.
Another reason attributed is that
Mr.. Gaines was a strong A. +. Will
son man and a supporter of J. d.
Harris for chairman against Jack
Young. who was the choice of the
West Kentucky Coal Company.
The people of SturgIs are indignant
at the unlawful actions of Butcher in
almost demolishing the News-Dem-
ocrat office without warning aud for
such reasons The damage to the
plant il such that it will be impossi-
bic to issue a paper next week.
