poets OF a vote. Backed with affiday-

some action before the Senate adj
journed.
Mother Jones and other labor
leaders from the district heard the

who declared human life was the
only thing valueless by the mine
operators, and that the head of the
state mining department was an oper-
ator in whose mine occurred frequent
explosions. Mr. Montgomery wrote
that roo miners had been killed IN
mine explosions in West Virginia and
the only thing received by the wild

their husbands were buried. He de-
clared that the mining department
displayed no interest in human life
