Ia BELLE BOX FACTORY
S TILL ON STRIKE

Employees of the LaBelle box fac
tory of Martins Ferry are still prose-
cutting their strike against that firm
which has been in progress for almost
year and; the men are as firm today
as they we're the day they went on
strike. Some time ago the firm Sc
cured an Injunction against the men,
thinking when this was done they
would soon have everything their own
way, but they have been sorely disap-
pointed as not one of the strikers have
deserted and gone back to work and
on the other hand they are utterly I'M
able to secure competent men to take
their places. It requires about 125
men to man the plant and As seems to
be their limit. Employing farmers to
take the places of competent men is
poor business, and the LaBelle Box
company is finding it out.

had been unjustly charged. He had
not only not declared martial lazy but
asserted that he was as much opposed
to it as any one could possibly be. He
had inherited martial law from Cover
nor Glasscock, his predecessor, and
the reason he permitted it to remain
effective was because he was request
ed to do so by the union miners them
selves to prevent them and their or
ganizers from being assaulted and
beaten up by the Baldwin Feltz thugs
in the employ of the mine owners.
This statement of the governor was
subsequently verified by all the off
Gals and organizers of the United
Mine Workers.
ITO show that he was endeavoring
to give the miners a square deal the
governor pointed out that he had a
mine superintendent and two mine
guards in jail at that very hour and
that he had refused to release them on
ball. offered by the operators. He also
pointed out that when two organizers
were beaten up few days previously
by the thugs of the mine owners he
promptly offered reward of $4,000
for their arrest, and he emphatically
declared that if apprehended they

"The day previous to this interview
the governor had Internationally re-
leased all our comrades from prison,
including John w. Brown, Fred Mer-
rick, C. H. Boswell, w. H. Thompson,
George S. Parsons and a number of
others. Mother Jones had been set
free some time previously. Shortly
afterward Dan Chain, who had been
sentenced to the penitentiary by the
military commission, was given his
liberty by the governor, so that not
one of OUT comrades remained In
custody
'In this connection the governor re-
ferred to the fact that not in single
instance had he affirmed aSconviction
of the military commission and that
while his affirmation would have sent
a number of our comrades to the penl-
Tertiary, he had, son the contrary,
granted them their unconditional re-
lease. He further claimed that he had
abundant evidence with which to con
vict some of the leading strikers in
the civil courts, but that he had not
felt disposed to press the cases against
them.
" "Interrogated upon the several
points at issue in the coal strike, Gov
ernor Hatfield pointed to the colume
of statutes on his desk and said:
The res is my guide; that is the law.
and l shall endeavor to impartially
execute it. The governor unhesitating-
ly declared that workingmen had the
right to organize, and that he would
protect them in that right to the ex-
tent of his power; that Socialists had
the same right that Republicans and
Democrats have; that they were en-
titled to the right of free speech and
free assernblage and to the full pro
lection of the law.

promises were made, and the life of a

make up to $24 a week at nice, easy

The wells have not been tested but
they are believed to be good produc-
