Follensbee Workers Ask Nicely To
Move Congress To Instruct Committee
10 Investigate Judge Dayton's, Conduct

The demand that the judicial con
duct of Judge Dayton be investigated
is assuming such proportions that it
cannot much longer be ignored by
those in authority Spontaneously
land without any arrangements with
the Wheeling workers, the workers OF
Follansbee have launched the follow
ing petition, and have already secur.
ed hundreds of signers.
The Petition.
Whereas, The people of the First
Congressional District of West Vir-
ginia, petitioned the President of the
United States, to investigate charges
against Alston G. Dayton, charging
him the said Dayton while acting
as Judge of the District Court of the
United States for the Northern Dis
trict lof West Virginia, as being un-
fair, partial, and with subverting the
rights of. the American people, and
acting in such manner as ito earn for
himself the name of judicial anarchist,
and,
Whereas, The President of the Unit
ed States not having Jurisdiction in
such matters, referred the same to
the Judicial Committee of the Con
gress of the United States, for Its
actions, and,
Whereas, Said Judicial Committee
of said Congress, reported that they
did not have jurisdiction in the mat
ter, unless so directed by resolution
of congress so authorizing such inves,
tigation, therefore,
I'VE the undersigned subscribers
petition the members of congress for
West Virginia, and especially NJ. M
Nicely, congressman for the first con
gressional district of West Virginia
to prepare and offer for the considera
ton of said congress the proper reso
luton to- authorize said Judicial Com
mittee Of said congress, to investi
gate said petitions now on file against
Alston G. Dayton, to determine wheth
er or not there is sufficient ground to
ask the Senate of the United States
to impeach said Aston G: Dayton
from the judicial Office he now holds.

Attorney General Farrar has also
told the corporation-owned executives
that they had no right to tear down
the miners tents at Forbes. To show
him they were obeying the orders OF

his advice, Ammons and Chase had
the miners homes destroyed again.
Officials of the United Mine Work

again erect these homes, they hope
to be in position to protect their

After robbing Colorado taxpayers OF
$750,000 use the militia to terrorize
and intimidate the strikers, Governor
Ammons has announced that he will
withdraw all uniformed scab-herders.
This statement has been made be-
fore, and resulted in nothing About
the time the militia are to be with
drawn, the hired assassins of the OPP
orators will start another reign of ter
ror, blame it on the strikers, and the
lickspittle governor will have another
excuse to keep the militia in the strike
zone. ~

The miners report that Mckinley
has announced a 10 per cent increase
in their wages, in his fear of organiza-

will get whatever increase is secured
by the union miners.
But they say that it does not mat
ter what price he pays per ton, as

Judge Dayton's Strike Breaking Injunction Drives
Ohio Operators Now
Lockout 10000 Miners

Fifty thousand miners were locked Out
nv the Ohio coal operators last Wed
nesday, April 1. At many of the mines
the men reported for work but were
informed that the mine was closed.
The trouble is over the 'run-of-
mine" This has been an ancient fight
and last year Senator William Green
succeeded in having in enacted into
law in Ohio, that the coal mined in
the state should be paid for as it
came from the mine, and not after the
company has screened it. This law
goes into effect May 20, and the opera
tors say they will fight the law.
The international officials of the
miners recommended to the men that
they continue working pending a final
settlement, and the men are to hold a
referendum vote upon this and upon
the whole question of referring wage
settlements to the various states, on
April IA. But in the meantime the
operators have locked them out of
the mines. The operators have placed
themselves in the laWless position OF
refusing to obey Tue law.
Mass meetings of the miners have
been held in various towns in the sub
district during THE past few days, at
which President Moore, President Al
basin and Vice President Roy have
been explaining to the miners the
whole situation At these meetings
resolutions have been adopted COM
mending the course of the officials.

that thew will not refuse to>work with

that the present disagreement hinges
