story related by Mother" Jones. She
tells, in addition to incidents narrated in
The Times yesterday of an attack made
by Baldwin guards, deputies, and mine
owners, one night in 1904, upon the
cabins on Stanford mountain. IN the
New river field, where a band of strik-
ing miners were asleep. Without rais-
ing an alarm the attacking party, sne
says, fired a volley into the cabins. Kill
Ing seven and wounding twenty-one
others.
These miners had refused, a day or
two before. to allow a deputy to arrest
one of them who had walked on the
highway past mine, in violation OF an
Injunction.
None of that band of murdcrers was
ever punished" Mother Jones said
When / was back there a week after
ward found the widow of one OF these
poor boys, crying over the grave on the
hillside Her little child, eight years
old. was digging with her fists in the
clay at the. head OF the mound. ana
calling Papa, please come back.
Most of these miners have large
families of children. IL the company
stores do not get all their wages, they
hold out the rent in advance. The
houses are no better than dog kennels,
but even these are not considered to
be in possession of the miners who
pay the rent One miner invited me
and a newspaper man to dinner in his
cabin. The guards refused to let him
admit US to his house, Later he and
his six little children were turned out
and had to sleep two nights on the
highway when the strike came.
