DeplorabLe Condition
of the Coal Miners

The question confronting the
miners in the Kanawha and New
River coal fields is the bread and
meat problem There is no class OF
iabor SO dependent on their employ
ers as the miners. The coal operators
own all OF the land near their oper-
atlons and the only industry is min
ing. When the mines are not run
hlns there is no way for the miners
10 secure the means of existence. for
the last two months in the above
mentioned fields and practically all
Oh thls and the adjoining states the
mines nave not averaged two days a
week and in many instances not over
TOUR days a month. Before the min

script or secure credit at a company

amount over and above what he owes

anu other items he is compelled to
pay through the store, if he has n
naiance to his credit after paying the
ABOVE items he can draw script to
the amount good for merchandise in
the company's store. With the mines
closed or even running two days a
week the miners are not able to keen
the grim wolf want from their door
as 1t takes two days run a week to
pay rent and etc. The coal opera
uons are isolated from other indus
tries, hence the coal miners are en-
tire dependent on the coal industry.
Inc most of the mines in this dis
tr1ct have closed down entirely
throwing thousands of men with
families out of employment. 1t NEG
cessarily follows that when this
great army OF unemployed with moth

pudiate Argument.

Evidently the WMifrede Coal Co.
have changed their policies in dealin.
fairly with their emp;oyes under their
new management. The Winifrede
Coal Company always bore the reputa-
tion in the past as beng one of the
fairest operations toward their men in
this field but recently they went over
on Cabin Creek and tcmployed a thug
as Superintendent and since that time
the men have been abused and treated
unfair This Cabin Greek slave driy-
er. Mr.. Berry Combs. was a mine fore
man in the famous ,aon-union Cabin
Creek district and bears a reputation
for brutality wherever he is known. 1t
is reported that he mas killed ono
man and in the short time that he
has been at Winifre,le has beaten up
a numbr OF the miners 1t seems thar
when the company employed this kind
oil man for superintendent they had
the present trouble in view and the en-
tire trouble was a premeditated ar
rangement by the company. .sae.z
The Winifrede Coai Company have
not only rcpudiated the scale agree

Question: Who Are the
Decent, Respectable ?

Who are the decent respectable peo-
pie? Are they those who give the
great social debaucheries. where the
sparkling champaign and the over
flowing punch bowl are the chief at
fractions? Where the young and inno-
cent are debauched and seduced. Are
they those who are pursed in the lap
of luxury and lead iGie and worthless
lives? Are they those who dress i'm
modest and act immodest and dance
to the strains of seductive music and
go home in the wee small hours of
morning drunk and in closed, car
riaGes. Isn't decency and respectable
lty in danger when a man and woman
under the influence of champaign and
punch with their animal propensities
excited to the highest pitch are Snut
up together in a closed carriage? Is it
a decent an respectable man who viii
entice the peoples representatives TO
his home and pull off drunken bout
that would have done credit to a low
dance hall? If this is what ou: re-

call decency and responsibility. we, the

The Charleston
"BuN Pen''

The conditions in and around the
Kelly Axe Factory are a disgrace to
our city and outrage on civilization
Inc wages paid by this slave driver
are so small that the workers are not
able to rent decent houses but must
crowd into small cottages like sar-
dlnes in box. In place of streets
and sidewalks they have to plough
through the mud and slush up to
their shoe tops to get to and from
their work, while the city was nut to
the expense of fitting in n sewer sys-
tenn The property owners have not
gone to the expense of tapping the
sewer. In this thickly settled section
with the surface toilets or open ditch
for sewer it is wonder that an
epidemic has not broken out before
this. The alleys and the stagna,t
bitches full of filth and water are
continually throwing off foul oders
that would kill the devil himself. sur
rounded by this condition is Mr..
kelly's Bull Pen" enclosed with n
fifteen foot fence to keep the public
from finding out the true condition
OF the workers within. when A
worker enters Kelly's enclouser he
is required to leave all of his rights
as citizen and his manhood out side
or TO come in as servill tool or an
humble slave to be driven by the
bosses. His men are ground into
axes and the axes sold for gold and
the gold goes into the affairs of the
Kelly Axe Manufacturing Company.
what do thy care about the conditions
these poor wage slaves have to live
under? What do they care if they
slcken and die? The Kelly Mfg. Co.,
don't pay the doctor nor do they pay
the 1ural expenses. Their one idea is
profit. For profit they would bribe a
priest and reduce a saint no wonder
the Kelly Mfg. Co.. fought the union.
NO wonder he bribed the men to be
traitors to their own interest and
union Mr.. Kelly know that class
conscious union men would revoke
at such conditions. a man who will
use money to bribe another man will
betray him when the opportunity pre-
'sentS itself.

On the last of January 1911, the
Winifrede local company posted a
notice for its employees. that on and
after Feb. 1st. the company would
discontinue the practice of paying
10 cents car per bug dust" or ma
chlhe cutting in violation Of the
charleston Joint Convention of last
April which states all premium then
pald would be paid for the life of the

Ter was then taken up by the Local
Union and could not be adjusted,
Then the district officials were an
praised of the conditions and began
investigation, interviewing the COM
m1ssioners of the Kanawha Coal AS
soclation of which the iWinifrede Coal
company were violating the agree
ment. This conference took place
about Feb. l > and the management
was notified of their decision above
stated. On Feb. 3rd the company
closed down, claiming no orders. The
company had up till Feb. 3rd, except
ing one week the last of the year for
which they closed for repairs. been
running steady. They stayed closed
till Feb. 2Sth.
Men who were suffering. whose
wives and children were hungry were
denied script" or credit in any
form" On Feb. goth, five men were
discharged for the terrible crime of

then three more have been found "dis

was appointed to wait upon the sup
and inform him that the
union intended to keep the agree
lnents and that If the. semi-monthly
pay had been forfeited that the union
would accept the -ultimatum.
But when the committee met they
were given contract stating that the
sem1-monthly pay would b abolished,
that there would be no pay for "bug
