Let.Us Have The
Federal Investigate

(From the United Mine Workers
Journal.)
The West Virginia coal operators,
and many of the allied Interests" are
using every influence they can com
mand in an attempt to prevent the
Federal investigation into the con-
ditiOns that led up to the strike in
that state, and to the charges prefer
red by the miners that many of the
Federal laws are violated, and that
even the plain provisions of the consti-
tuition fthe United States were abre-
gated.
The operators assert that as the
strike has been settled, the investiga-
ton is now unnecessary.
But the fact remains that some o.
our members are still imprisoned,
without due process of law; the writ
of "habeas corpus" denied; civilians
have been taken by force into the
been declared, and then turned over
to be tried by military court martial
All this, we claim, in defiance of dis
tlnctN provisions of the Federal con-
stitution.

been tried. What the verdict of that
court was, for some reason has been
carefully concealed. But this brave
old fighter of the working class has
been kept in military prison for sever
al months, illegally, we claim. And
those who hold her must know that the
confinement she is subjected to will
soon be just as effective as if they
dared to shoot her. Even though her
prison is comfortable cottage, the
fact that she is confined is just as irk-
some. And, to our personal knowledge
she is not allowed I'll talk to anyone
except by permission of her military
jailors.
It was with hope of Federal in
vestigation and at least a determin
alton to appeal to the Federal courts,
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1913-05-22

that Mother Jones and others of those
brought before the court martial re-
fused to plead, holding the entire pro
ceedings as usurped authority.
We have made charges zof ''peon-
age" These also we can substantiate
with sworn testimony of those who
managed to escape from forced ser
vice.
We charge that the United States
mail is Systematically tempered with
in parts of the state where the post
offices are generally located in com
~pany stores. That only such mail a.
VIII pass the censorship OF the little
f1unkeys who manage the stores i.
allowed to reach those it is directed
to, and that many men have been bru-
tally slugged because some of the mai
addressed to them did not suit the
officials of the company.
When the Federal was
asked for by the piners, the guard
system" was in full force. In the Goa.
mining towns all scivil authority was
thrust aside by the hired armies oil
the coal companies. Nor did the elect
ed officials in those parts of the state
where. the miners were unorganized
and therefore helpless, make any at
tempt to protect the workers. in theil
constitutional rights when such were
assailed by these hired rufians.
Yes, the strike is OYER but the in
vestigation by the Federal auth ori-
ties will cast light on many dark hor-s
rors, the extent of which we honestly
hope and believe would not. be tolerat-
ed by West Virginia men if they knew
the horrors of the same.
We speak now of the conditions laid
bare in the trial of the slave pro
curer" Kulp, at Scranton, Pa. Hired
to furnish men slaves to labor under
the most miserable conditions, this
man argued that he could not keep
the men at work for the allotted time
that would assure him his blood money
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1913-05-22

unles he could also procure some
women. By promises of honorable
remunerative work, the same argu-
ments by which he induced men, he
persuaded several women of Pennsyl-
vanda to go to what he pictured as an
ideal place for honest employment
once away from al their friends, these
unfortunate woMen were actually
compelled to live life of shame. One
tried to commit suicide, but was pitt
lessly dragged from the water and.
compelled to obey the will of the white
SLAYER.
Some of these women escaped, even
as some Russian convicts have been
known to escape from Siberia, found
their way back to their homes, and
there met the hound who had led them
into that terrible trap He was
brought before a United States court
and convicted. p.
But the point we wish to make is,
that until these women escaped from
West Virginia, until the white SLAYER"
returned to Pennsylvania for more
victims, no representative of law inter-
fered between this unspeakable hound
and his prey Such are the conditions
that make a Federal investigation ne
cessary. The horrible conditions that
obtain in some of the unorganized
mines is reaching over state lines and
citizens, men and women,
OF other states, even as a pestilence
will not stop at state lines.
Let the Federal investigating COM
m1ttee look into all the dark places.

REV. WH|TT|NCT0N
 HAS GOOD YEAR
TO CHURCH
BAPTIST PASTOR SUBMITS FINE REPORT OF HIS FIRST YEARS
 WORK IN CONWAY.

A year of unusually successful work is shown in the first annual re- port of Rev. Otto Wilmington, pastor of the First Baptist church of Con- way, which was read to his congrega- tion Sunday. According to the report the church and all it's auxiliary or ganizations are in fourishing condi- tion. The success of this years work Rev. Wilmington largely attrib- utes to the foundations laid by his predecessor, Rev. J. J. Hurt, now pas tor of prominent Baptist church in Durham, N. c.
 The work of the Sunday school, un- der the leadership of Dr. J. w. Con- ger, the pastor states, has been dis tinctly marked with progress and eff ciency. The total enrolment is now TOO, of which 595 are in the main school, 65 in the home department and 40 on the cradle roll.
 The B. Y. P. U. has had good at tendance and raised over $250 during the year. The Y. w. c. A. and Sun beams have just been organized and are already doing good work. The Junior Aid Society, with member ship of 22, raised $185.89, and the Woman's Missionary Union, with a membership of 53, raised $524.10 dur ing the year. The total collections of the year amounted to $4,O34.34, of

HAYS UNAVOIDABLE TO EXTRA SESSION
REVENUE BADLY NEEDED
GOVERNOR HOPES, HOWEVER, TO FINANCE STATES
 INSTITUTIONS.

Little Rock, Sept. 10-Once more, after few months on cash basis, the general revenue fund of the State Treasury is exhausted. There has been no money in it since a week ago Saturday, and the prospects for the being any for several months are very remote.
 There are already several thousand dollars out in unpaid warrants, and current expenses of the state and it's institutions are amounting to nearly S100,000 month Many of the banks are disposed to look askance upon the carrying of the warrants, even at a heavy discount, and the charitable in .stitutions are especially in desperate straits, or soon will be.
 The first revenue of consequence will be the insurance taxes amounting to about S100,000, due March 1, but by that time the state will be in debt fully a million dollars. Aside from these, the Secretary of State pays in fees amounting to about $25O0 a month. Ordinarily liquor licenses be- gin to come in soon after January 1, : but this is very uncertain quantity for 1914, as no one knows whether , there will be any saloons in the state next year.
 There will be an increase in the taxes derived from the general levy next year, as the legislature increased the levy half mill, and the assess ments will be considerably heavier. Under the new law, the Auditor may call upon Collector for advance pay ments previous to settlement, and that will tide the treasury over next spring.
 In the meantime, however, condi- tions are serious. There has even been some discussion of calling an extra session of the legislature to handle the financial problem, but Gov. Hays is not disposed to look upon it with favor

ing of the State Capitol Commission Tuesday forenoon, the State Banking Commission was assigned the two rooms and vault now occupied by the State Land Office, which is to be given quarters in the basement, which is really the first floor, under the Su- preme Court clerk. The changes may not be made until next January or February. In the meantime the Bank Commissioner will have temporary quarters in the office of the President of the Senate.
 Once again the Commission was dis appointed in the plans for the con- pletion of the capitol not having ar rived. They were sent from New ,, York by architect Cass Gilbert, last Saturday afternoon The Commiss ion will meet again September 29, to award the contracts for completing the building.

itol fund, about S45O,OO0," said Gov. Hays, thereby saving the necessity of purchasing supplies for the institu- tions on credit and paying exorbitant prices for them, and discounting war rants for the salaries of officers and employees, it would be great saving to the state, and in the meantime the capitol would not deterorate. That money would carry us over until next years revenues come in, we could start on a cash basis once more, and in three years time I feel certain we coud gay back the money to the cap- itol fund and proceed with the con- pletion of the building.
 However, on account of the differ ent complications that might arise in the calling of special session of the legislature, I don't think it would be expedient to call such a session. I am going to see if I cannot in some way make outside arrangements for the charitable institutions of the state to get sufficient money to pay cash for such supplies as may be necessary to run them"

The railroad is disposing of its "land
