CHARLESTON, June lG.-Rumors
OF war from INNINGS camps in the
Paink Creek and Cabin Greek districts
today came TO Cha Ileston. where the
Senate investigating committee was In
session. Only the most meagre in.
formation was available here but re.
ports filtered through from the hills
that the Cabin Creek miners in par,
had at last renewed the strike anu
that the Paint Greek workers were
considering again quitting work. i,
was definitely known that three mi.
ners meetings were held In the dis.
tricts yesterday. Two on Cabin Greek
are reported to have voted not 10 re.
turn TO work today.
1t was stated, however, ,ha, the men
who had failed TO 90 into the mines
this morning were few in number and
that the disturbance was not serious.
One meeting on Paint Greek, II was
reported, took no definite action and
the representative OF the Paint Creek
operators declared that so per cen,
OF their men were at work today. Il
was generally accepted that no seri.
GUS outbreak had ocurred, but there
was considerable anxiety over the ef.
feet that the renewal of trouble in the
Creek might have on the New River
district a few miles away. where H..
688 men have been considering n
strike order. A miners convention had
been planned on New River this week
ana 1t was feared that the trouble In
the Creek would preciptate a general
walli.ont. The union oTrials here
said that they had sanctioned no strike
order In the Creek. The committee
today continued the taking OF n vast
amount OF routine testimony as TO
conditions in the field before the
strike began. A score OF miners test.
aiied that the trouble was principally
caused by atrocities OF the mine
guards. Elizabeth Fish, 10 years old
described how party Of guards had
forced her and another girl to wade
Cabin Creek. prodding them with their
guns and taunting them with obscene
remarks. ...
