census bulletin to prove that the wage
cost Of producing ton of coal in
West Virginia has been forced down
to fifty-eight cents, as compared with
seventy-nine cents in the competing
fields OF western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, w. r. Farley,
organizer for the United Mine Work
ers OF America, told senator's today
that all the violence in West Virginia
during the past fifteen years had
been due to the coal mine owners pay
ing attention to this fact alone. He
charged that with every cent cut from
the wage cost each OF the 10000 coal
|diggers OF that state had sunk furth-
Ter into misery and despair"
Farley is one of the witnesses to
West Virginia conditions who has
lcome to Washington with Mother"
Jones to urge favorable action on the
Kern Investigation resolution.
For fifteen years. he said, the
coal operators of West Virginia have
absolutely refused to enter into joint
agreements with their miners upon
wage scales. hours Of labor or condi-
tions of employment. Notwithstanding
/ the fact that their competitors in west
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois in 1898 entered into these mu-
ltral agreements, granting an eight
hour day, semi.monthly paydays and
| at that time an increase in wages Of
ten cents per ton, the West Virginia
operators have not advanced wages or
shortened hours in all these years.
Every effort to change the condi-
tions represented by low wages, long
hours, the presence of Baldwin guards
1 everywhere and the beating up OF
levery union organizer who dared en-
tier the field, has been met with the
idischarge OF such miners as dared
listen to the call of unionism. There

was assaulted and the natural result
WAS that the miners were cowed.
