JOE LETTERS SCAB
MINE CLOSED DOWN
More Fatal Accidents in this Mine
Than Any Half Dozen Others in
the State of Illinois.

After several years of unsuccessful
operation the only large niue in
Illinois operated with non-union
labor-that Of Joseph Letter at
Iiegler-has been closed down.
During the period of the oper-
alton it has been surrounded by a
stockade defended by gatling-- gums.
The whole power OF the state has
been used when asked for to as.
sist in the breaking of the power
of the United Mine Workers..
During the time there have been
more fatal accidents in this mine
than any half dozen others in
Illinois. Its record has not been
one that the advocates Of the
''open shop will care to publish.
Now it has finally been closed
down because it did not pay.
Here was an argument that even
Letter could understand. The
fact that unSkilleu non union men
made Il mine unsafe and sacrificed
human life was not worthy of
notice. But when the mine did
not pay dividends-that is diff
ferent matter.
