MUST GET RID Of
THE NINE GUARDS
This Is The UIdndtun Of
Striking Miners In West
Virginia. Newspaper
Men Investigating

A staff correspondent of tnc Balti-
more Sun, who is investigating condi-
lions in the Paint Creek and Cabin
Creek mining districts in Kanawha
county, tells the following story, un-
der Charleston date line:
1.-The mine guards must sc
That is the ultimatum of the min
ers who are on strike in this section
of the Kanawha Valley coal region,
and it looks as if there would never
be any lasting peace in this region
until they are gone.
You hear it everywhere. Down at
Huntington the same thing was said.
at is the mine guards who are at the
bottom of all this trouble was
told. At Bluefeld, days travel from
here, and one of the headquarters Of
the Baldwin.Felts agency, similar
views were expressed. All along the
Norfolk and Western from Bluefeld to
KenoVa, in a region kept non-union
largely by the presence of the guards,
you would hear substantially the same
thing from those who were not afraid
to express their views.
The peace that exists in the unor-
ganized section ofthe state is a peace
maintained largely by force Of arms,
and into some parts OF the territory
union organizers do not dare to SO.
But talk almost anywhere about the
trouble along Cabin and Paint creeks
and you will hear the view expressed
that the mine guards are the cause Of
the trouble. This talk, or much of it,
may be exaggeration, but there is not
the shadow of a doubt that the Bald
win men are constant source OF
irritation.
Guards Vertable lshmaelites.
Although engaged ostensibly to pro
tect the property of the companies and
the peaceful miners from their more
lawless fellows" it is a fact that the
great majority of the miners all along
the line look on them as bitter enc
mics. They are veritable Ishmaelites,
so far as the miners are concerned
for their hands are supposed TO be
against them They go about IN con.
slant peril. Most of the miners viii
tell YOU that this is not So that they
would not harm miner unless he
was committing an unlawful act for
all the wealth of the mines. That is
bluff. pure and simple. The guards
are unquestionably men of rough
desperate sort of courage; they are bic
well-built, husky chaps, ready to face
any danger, and if there is any shoot
ing to do. they shoot first and explain
afterWard.
But they are afraid They neye'
know when they may get bullet from
