TAN DOES NOT PROTECT
NAN Who RISKS HIS life
IN WEST VIRGINIA MINES
Fellow Servant Act Is Still In
Force Where Latest Horror
Occurred
BLAME PUT ON MINE BOSS
Explosion in Which S3 We're
Killed Reveals Necessity
For Justice

WEIGH. w. Va. March 29-Jed is
coal mining village in West Vir-
ginia-
Jed has just lost SO OF its citizens
in dreadful mine disaster. Natural
ly you would expect TO see mingling
with weeping women and grieving
children, nurses, doctors and other
sympathetic and helpful people.
But you don't.
You find that the most conspicuous
persons on the streets OF the hamlet
and at the mouth of the shattered
mine are detectives, who are paid not
BY the state but by the mining com
panies OF the district to do all posi-
Bile to smother and keep from the
outside public the horrors OF this
horrible disaster.
There are number of photogra-
piers here to take pictures of the
scenes for the interested outer world.
One of them Is caught swapping q
photograph of the mine elevator as
IL lifts its burden OF sacrificed faith
ers, brothers and sons to the surface.
what are you doing?" demands a
guard.
Il am taking pictures" replies the
photographer.
well. you had better take the next
train out or here says the guard.
1T leaves at noon And 1t will be
those plates right away"
Lest his charitable advice should
not be taken, the guard nimbly
smashes both camera and plates with
his club II is quite remarkable how
artistically dexterous are all these
West Virginia mine guards and dep
uties with the club.
There might have been 1000 lives
snuffed out here, but for all that the
corporation that operates the Jed
colIiery would, under the law OF West
Virginia, be as guiltless of RESPONSE
biIity as 1t is now with only SO dead.
The supreme court OF West Vir-
ginia handed down a manifesto OF
absolution that has, up to the pres
ent served as a shield for coal oper-
ators In such disasters as has hap
pened at Jed.
They may pay the survivors dam
ages II they feel like it. But they
don't have to. The judge-made law
Of 1895, which has been enlarged upon
BY later decisions. says SO distinctly.
II placed the blame for accidents
upon the mine boss. The mine boss
may have been killed with the rest,
Is at Jed. He can't be sued. Even
II he survives, it would be futile to
sue him. He Is only wage Garner.
Under the law OF West Virginia
there are certain duties delegated to
the mine boss. These include nearly
everything conceivable that may re-
late to the safety of the mine.
