West VIRGINIA
:. Probe T dS

Washington, March 18.-The report
Of the Senate Subcommittee y at in
vestigated the West : virginia coal
strike has been filed in the Senate
by Senator Swanson, chairman of the
committee. The committee makes no
recommendations, as it was not au-
horized to do so under the resolution,
put the document submitted is a scath-
.ng arraignment of the West Virginia
authorities and operators. The state
Ind civil authorities, are .critized for
allure to check unlawful actions and
or permitting military courts-martial

courts Of the state were in session.
The report says, among other things:
las these unhappy conditions no
onger evist,. as the differences be-
:ween the contending parties have
1een amieaIbly adjusted and an agree
nent entered into for several years,
and as peace and confidence now pre-
rail, work and business having been
resumed, the committee does not con
slider it wise or necessary to elaborate
upon the many causes which produced
these depdorable conditions. Among
the contributing caalsese may be en-
umerated the following: The failure
of the operators. sinS4he Paint Creek
district to renew their expiring con
tract with the United Mine Workers;
the determination of the coal opera
tors under no circum stances to recog-
n1ze the miners as an organization or
union, and the equal determination
of the miners to organize and form
a union-a right, as they claim, guar
anteed to them without discrimination
by the laws Of West Virginia; the EN-
ployment by the operators of mine
guards, many of whom were agrees
i've and arbitrary; mine guards in the
employment of the operators; acting
as deputy sheriffs and clothed with
the authority of the law; the failure
Eof the civil authorities to attempt even
to preserve peace and order at the
beginning of violence and permitting
things to drift from bad to worse with
out vigorous intereference and asser-
ltton o faalthority; discomfort among
tthe miners occasioned ~ no emporium
| ity to purchase homes; no cemeteries
Except upon the company's grounds;
lpostofees located IN the company s
tstores pTivate roads only to- the
schools and stores; the disposition of
the coal operators to- keep strict es-
lpionage Of all strangers who entered
the district and to exercise their right
lot private ownership of this large
district and to exclude from 1t all per
sons objectionable to them these may
be stated as some Of the immediate
contributing causes"
