AN OPERATOR FOR THE UNION.
John c. HaddOck Would Provide Sick
Benefts and Insurance.

WILxEsBARRE. Pa. April John c.
Haddock. an independent operator and
president Of the Plymouth Coal Company.
favors recognition Of the miners union
and the building Of the organization on
wider scale for the purpose OF making
IL more fraternal and beneficial so that
dependents can he more properly cared
for. Mr.. Haddock said to-day:
III there Is q strike this year do not
expect to look for any guards outside
the miners ranks. l want union men to
guard my property for tho reason that /
believe they will render me better and
more efficient service than any imports
could bring here. realize that they
would render me better service than any
municipal or State officers.
Il believe the union should be recog-
nized. The men have just as much right
to organize for protection as the COM
panies. The organization as it exists
to-day is a splendid one. but want to zee
1t grow. There is no reason in the world
why it shouldn't widen its scope fratcr-
nally and beneficially. Such steps as
are necessary should he taken to create
fund from which widows and orphans
could be properly cared for. Other
organizations are doing this and they
flnd that it is wonderful help. There
should be some means provided Tor paying
to union men sickness and death benefits.
Il believe the companies should pay
q part OF this money. 1t would he the
proper spirit for the coal companies ia
recognize the union and pay one cent
on the price of each ton OF coal mined and
use this money to create a fund for tn.
