 Construction Commission.

Asked Sheriff to Run Armored .-. Train Back and Fire on Wom-
 en and Children.

Charleston. w. Va, June i6.-- At the hearing today of the com- mittee Investigating the strike conditions in West Virginia a sensation was caused when man named Calvin, who had been a guard on one of the armOred trains used by the sheriff while he was in charge of the policing of the district, claimed that the train had fired on the strikers at the Morton mine and after they had gone a short distance the owner of the mine, who was aboard, asked the sheriff to back the train and fire on the camp again. The sheriff, however, re- fused to do so, as there were many women and children in the tents and many would have been killed.
 Senator Martin, of Virginia, i'm mediately arose and demanded that Morton be called as a witt ness, and the committee was inn mediately in an uproar, The con- ditions in the coal regions, he as- serted, were equal to those that existed in feudal ages and were a disgrace to the country. A thorough investigation of the conditions will be made by the committee and proper Legislation recommended.
