SICK INFANTS TO BE SHOWN TO
INVESTIGATORS OF CABIN
CREEK CONDITIONS.
FAMILIES ARE TO APPEAR
West Virginia Coal District Under
Martial Law Following Trou.
bIe-People Are Liv-
ing In Tents.

Charleston, w. Va, Sept. 6.-Six-
teen thousand men, women and chill
dren in the Paint Creek and Cabin
Creek mining districts, Is miles from
this city, are breathing in terror to
the rule of military government.
The cry of these 10000 for justice
has been answered by the establish
ing of martial law and this is the only
spot in the whole United States where
the civil law has been supplanted by
the law of soldiery.
Yet men cheered when the news
was brought to them of the new order
of government that places legislative
judicial and executive functions in the
hands of militia. Even if distasteful
of the tyranny of military law, the
miners welcomed it as emancipation
from civil government as they have
known it,
Back of the civil legislation, no mat
ter whether the legislature was Re
publican or Democratic, have been the
coal interests. Justices of the peace
have been handmen of the operators
and only today there was issued from
a circuit court against officials Of the
miners union blanket injunction to
keep them out of certain mines, while
the miners wait in vain for an injunc.
ton they have asked to prevent mine
guards evicting them from their
homes.
md n 90 in "a ,,rt
of the state has held that under its in.
depreciation of the law mine operators
could not be held responsible for
wrongful deaths in their mines.
Can Speak Minds Freely.
Military government, undesirable
as it is, is much better than govern.
ment by hired guards" said President
Tom Cairns of the United Mine Work
ers of West Virginia. For the first
time in years the Cabin Creek men
are really free, even though they can
not move without a passport.
"They can speak their minds freely
Under the new regime strike breakers
will not be allowed to enter This is a
plain benefit to the strikers. Martial
law, If impartially administered, may
mean that we win the strike.
This is not fight for wages mere
ly. Primarily it is a struggle for the
freedom which Is guaranteed every
American. If we are not freed of
guard government we are ready to
fight in the same way our forefathers
fought for freedom. We have the
men"
Three hundred families cast out of
their homes by the guards are living
in tents on the hillsides in Paint
Creek. Babies are sick from exposure
and unsanitary condition
The babies will be produced as ex.
hibits when the commission recently
appointed by Gov. Glasscock to inves.
tigate conditions in the mines begins
hearing testimony. Whole families,
beaten and evicted, will appear.

". c. T. U.

Is it trick of the politicians
to hold the liquor vote when they
so boldly assest that state wide
prohibition will repeal our pres
ent laws, or is it ignorance or
what is the trouble? Some folks
thought that when a certain can.
didate withdrew from the race
for governor after announcing
himself on the statewide ticket,
that he was bought.
It looks little shadowy now,
for he did not give as his reason
for withdrawing that if state
wide won, it would spoil all of
our present laws. No. He did
not see it that way. Do these
prominent speakers who make
such assertions think that no.
body else can read and interpret
the law? They remind US of the
United States Attorney General,
who, when the anti canteen bill
passed Congress and the!s law
was so plain that just anybody
could understand it, boldly de-
clared that it did not mean what
it said, and so we had to bear
with the canteen awhile longer
until man with a little con-
science could construe it as, it
was meant to be.
Our bill plainly says that no
repeal Of laws will be effected if
state wide carries. Even if it
did, let us vote for the best
thing, and surely the people can
hold it. Let us try a step high
er. If the people declare for a
thing it would haye to be the peo-
pie who are consulted about it's
repeal.
Let no such sophistries blind
the voter or switch him from vot-
ing for that which he knows will
be the greater protection.
Let the people show to the pol
itician that they are lead and
shoulders above a petty desire
for office, and for that office they
must cater to the whiskey vote.

to the entertainment of the Wabash
College Glee club This entertainment
Is expected to attract a large attend

under the auspices of the University

anything that has been heard IN Ham

The Wabash Glee club Is one of the
best in the middle west. A mandolin
club accompanies it and there are al

the character of the entertainment.

SPLENDID
PLAY COMING

Manager c. G. Kingwell OF the Ham
mond theater has made another ten
strike when he was able to announce
today that he has secured Margaret
Ellington in 'KindIing" for Easter Sun
day.
Margaret Ellington is probably the
most noted actress that has ever been
booked into Hammond unless 1t is Nav
Irwin. who will appear in she Knows
Better Now at the Hammond theatre
next Sunday
The very fact that these stars have
been booked here is an indication that
hammond has secured a reputation for
getting the business. 1t also indicates
that Hammond is coming to be reccx-
nized as one of the best show towns in
the vicinity of Chicago.
Margaret Ellington is now PLAYING at
the Cort theatre, Chicago, where she
has made a great hit. Hammond is in
deed fortunate in being able to secure
such a high grade attraction 1t will
make it possible for the people of this
city to see a metropolitan attraction
without the expense and trouble of GO
ing to Chicago.
Manager KingwiIl also announces
that AL G. Fields minstrels will appear
IN Hammond at early date These
three attractions ought to satisfy the
people OF this city who desire high
grade entertainment at moderate cost.
