Have tie Mine Workers dropped the
proceedings for the Impeachment OF
Judge Dayton?
A special dispatch from Charles
Brooks Smith at Washington to the
Wheeling InteIligencer and published
Tuesday, stated that the proceedings
rad been called OF, under instructions
Of Albert M BeIcher, of Charleston,
ttOrney for the Mine Workers. A
.elegram of inquiry to him sent by the
Majority brought the answer:
z authorized no such statement as
appears in paper" This, to many
minds, is conclusive, and further in
luiries have not yet been answered.
president John p. White of the Mine
Workers has also been queried, but
las not yet been reached.
Two Movements.
AS our readers probably know, there
ave been two n1ovemenst for the pro-
ecution Of the charges against Judge
layton, one conducted by the United
Nine Workers, and the other by the
Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,. They have been working in har-
mony, but without any close relation.
1t is the Mine Workers movement
that is here referred to.

The appeal of the Trades Assembly
to place voluntary assessment on

with success. The Timers Union last
Monday night placed an assessor
OF one dollar per member, and turned
the money over to the strikers. The

-Four States
Agreement

In Chicago national officials of the
United Mine Workers are meeting
with the operators of Western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, in
the, effort to reestablish the -Four.
States Agreement" These four states
are in the competitive field" and from
1898 until two years ago all worked
undera point agreement. In 1913 this
was dissolved and the various dis
tricts given the chance of signing IN
dividually.
Miners generally favor the old plan
of signing for the entire field. Oper
ators, too, are apparently coming to
the conclusion that this is the better
way for them, and it is the genera
opinion that this year will see the re
newal of the old agreement, and In,
dustrial peace in the coal fields OF the
four states.

Mine Engineers
May Strike Jan. 10

A strike of the engineers of the coal
mines in Sub District s is possibil.
ity for January 10.
All engineers in the mines on the
Ohio side are members of the Interna
onal Union of Steam and Operating
Engineers, and have united in a de
nand for an eight hour day, to- take
effect on that date.
1t is believed that, the demand will
be granted by the operators. All 9th
er labor about the mines works bur
eight hours a day, and it is thought
that the incongruity, and injustice o.
compelling the engineers to worl
twelve hours will appeal to the opera
tors when so forcibly presented, and
that they will accede to the demands
1t is certain, however, that the de
mand will be insisted upon, and If II
is not granted, all will walk out or
that day.

4 guaranteed wage of 1920, and sixty
uer cent over $500. For any part Of

taken In by the Jorllneyman Barber,
with $2.25 per day guarantee. For all
day SATURDAY., sixty cents Of every dol

agreement gives them wage increase
OF 20 cents on the day, and one day
less per week. They are now receiv-

odies of the section is assured with

mont Central rades and Labor Assem-
bly,, Sunday, the matter was consider
ed, and President Sheehan and retir
ing President Crunelle, both express
ed the hope that the custom Of send
ing fraternal delegates to each CEN
trail body would be renewed. and that
the Belmont Assembly would elect
such delegates on the following meet
ing day.
This report to the Ohio Valley As
sembly, Sunday, will unquestionably
result in that body taking similar &C.
tion, and with fraternal delegates at
each meeting from the other body,
|fraternal relations will be developed
that cannot help but strengthen the
entire labor movement OF the valley.
