WANT EXTRA
SESSION
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AND FOR
WARDED TO GOV. DAWSON

Huntington, Feb. 20-The West
Virginia state federation OF labor In
session here adopted unanimously a
resolution demanding an extra ses-
sion OF the legislature to pass reme-
dial mining laws. The resolution fol-
lows:
Whereas, A grave problem con
fronts organized labor in West vir-
glnia in the matter of securing rene
dial legislation for the protection Of
the lives and limbs of mine workers
of our state and to diminish the hor-
rible mine disasters that have been
hurling hundreds of miners into eter-
nifty, thus throwing thousands OF help
less women and children on the mer-
cy of our citizens, and,
Whereas. The laws OF our state are
being violate with impunity and tram
pied under foot by the mine owners
and their agents, and the oppression
and intimidation Of the miners is dai-
ly growing in volume in spite Of the
fact that the chief executive of our
state has repeatedly called the atten-
tion Of our legislators to these facts.
and,
Whereas. The mine owners are ex-
empt under present laws from any
liability for death or accident OF their
employees sustained I'm mines. and.
Whereas. A legislative mine inves-
tigating committee, appointed at the
last regualr session OF the legislature
to investigate the horrible mine dis
asters during the past and report
their findings and maks such rec
concentrations as they deem wise and
expedient at the earliest possible mo-
ment. have thus far utterly refused 10
report their findings. Notwithstanding
the fact that the governor. in his mes
sage to the legislature now I'm session
provided for the report Of the com
mittee. urging the protective mining
legislation. and.
Whereas. In view Of the above fact
we are convinced that nothing Of a
beneficial nature in the interests Of
me mine morkers can be expected
from said committee. as we recognize
their failure to report as direct re-
fusal to comply with the wishes OF
the people, and this being the case.

him authority to instruct the billing
clerk TO bill out the cars. and he did
1t by fictitious numbers that never
appeared in the companys files. The
whole matter was confined to the
Chesapeake and Ohio Offices and no
one outside could suspect that the
billing was not genuine. Witness said
the firm paid the Chesapeake and

ply were thus enabled to go into the
southern market on even terms with
competition. A recess was
