THE OGDEN NINE TROUBLE
Controversy Now 10 About Employ
ment Of Negroes All Of Whom
Bear Union Cards.

The dispute at the Ogden Coal
company's mine at Ogden remains un.
settled. At the conference in Des
Moines between the representatives
of the miners and the operators the
participants were unable to reach any
basis of agreement and Pres. w. H.
Rodgers OF the miners returned to
his home at Ottumwa.
The difficulty at the mine dates
from last November, when the min
ers, 1t is said, made demand for
mine run coal. The mine closed un-
til April / when work was again
commenced with practically all neg
70 miners. At present, Mr.. Smith
OF the operators says that 200 men
are working there. practically all me-
groes.
The controversy now has to do
with the employment of the negroes
at the mine, all of whom, 1t is said,
bear union cards. They came from
other mines to the Ogden work.
1t is said that the miners board
will attempt to bar them from the
union.
