FINISHES PLANS FOR.
TRIP TO CHARLESTON.
Will Begin Examination of
Witnesses in Connection
With the Coal Miners
Strike Tuesday

Washington, June 3.-Disregarding IN
timations that their appearance in West
Virginia might result in further outbreaks
of violence, members of the Senate sub
committee appointed to probe the West
Virginia coal strike situation today COM
pleted plans for their trip to Charleston.
The committee will begin the examine
| ton of about 100 witnesses, presenting the
Charleston. The committee heard un-
moved today the statement of Gen. c. C.
Watts and Col z. T. Vinson, represent
l. ing the coal mine operators. that a re-
| newal of actual hostilties might be pre-
cipitated by the activities of the commit
| tee in West Virginia. Mr.. Watts inti-
mated that the recently discovered al
legged plot against the life of Governor
Hatfield, charged to have been framed
| by a group of armed miners rendezvous
| ing at Lamont Hollow, might be traced to
| the agitation attending efforts of the COM
| mittee.
| tigation Chairman Swanson has evolved
a plan to place each phase of the inquiry
| under the charge of a single member of
the subcommittee.
Senator Borah will direct that branch
of the inquiry authorized in the first sec
tion of the Senate resolution, which
charges the committee to determine
whether or not any system of peonage
has been maintained in the fields and a
section of which relates to the charge
that citizens of the United States have
been arrested, tried and convicted in vio-
lation of the constitution or laws of the
United States"
Senator MARITIME will have charge of the
inquiry under section 2 relating to inter-
ference with the postal laws, and section
3, concerning violations of the immigra-
tion laws.
Senator Shields has section 5, which au-
thorizes a report on Ito what extent
have conditions existing in the coal fields
been caused by agreements and combina-
tions entered into contrary to the laws
of the United States for the purpose of
controlling the production, sale and trans
portation of coal''
Senator Kenyon Is given section 6, re-
lating to the shipment of firearms arn-
munition and explosives into the coal
fields, with the purpose to exclude the
products of these coal fields from COM
petitive markets in Interstate trade" and
the general inquiry under section Z, IF
any or all of these conditions exist. to
discover the causes leading up to such
conditions"

such representative stocks as Union Pa

FULTZ WRITES DEFENSE OF
THE POOR BASEBALL STAR

New York, June 4.-Some Of the rea-
sons why baseball players in the big
leagues want to change the system un-
der which they are farmed out to minor
league clubs at salaries less than those
called for in their original contracts, are
contained in a letter written by David
L. F'ultz, president of the Baseball Play
ers fraternity, to August Hermann,
chairman of the national baseball COM
mission, and made public today.
There can be no intelligent DENIAL"
reads Mr., Fultz' letter, 'of the sound
ness of the principle that so long as
the player is held under a signed con-
tract, he must receive the salary the
contract calls for. The common prac-
tice of forcing men to go to other teams
and allowing these teams arbitrarily to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-05

cut their salaries, can have neither legal
nor moral justification.
You say after the player is trans
ferred it is a question of negotiation be-
tween him and his new owner. How can
it be a question of negotiation when the
player is compelled by your regulations
to sign with one particular team or quit
his profession? There can be no nego-
tiation when one party is absolutely -
the mercy of the other it then becomes
a question of duress.
when the situation is reversed and
the major league recruit plays far bet
ter ball than he is expected to, he can't
welch' on his agreement and refuse to
play unless he gets more money. Why,
then should the owner have the right
to withdraw from his contract when he
finds his bargain is not quite as good
as he expected?"
