Dear Sir:
Personal and Confidential.
You, no doubt, are contemplating
operating your mines. permitting such
of your employees as are willing to res
turn to work, to do SO irrespective of
the arbitrary position assumed by the
leaders of the United Mine Workers.
In order to insure the success of this
venture you will require assistance
such as this company is prepared to
furnish, both in the way of giving pro-
lection to your local employees, as, no
doubt, they will be molested and pres
sure brought to bear in every way to
discourage them and in recruiting a
i sufficient number of workmen to con-
duct operations. You will also of ne

our clients. In handling labor toubles

issue as quickly ais we can, fully ap-
preciating that it is only by our
proven ability to accomplish this that
we can hope to enjoy the future pat
ronage of our clients. We are widely
and favorably known not only in this
state but throughout the country, unm-
bering among our clients some very
prominent coal operators who have
gone on record as saying that our re-
presentations are true in every par
ticular, this despite the fact that we
have gained but little publicity, it hav.
ing always been our aim and the de-
sire of the people we do business with
| to avoid this. y
In conclusion, let US say a word re
, garding our Industrial or community
control service, which comprehends
PLACING MEM IN LABOR AMI
POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS with
the idea of having them work up t.
be leaders. not with the object of writ
ing history after somebody else has
made it but for the purpose Of max
ing history by Influencing or dOminat

is a big proposition but by no means
an experiment with us as we are do

manufactures in this country and
