ASK STANLEY TO
STAND BY Them
MINERS OF WESTERN KENTUCKY
MEET OBSTACLES IN THE
LEGISLATURE.
CONVENE AT LOUISVILLE
Senator Leach Says Operators In
Control--Beaver Dam Men
on Committee.

Louisville, KY. March S.-The MI
ners of Western Kentucky, in con-
vention here, this afternoon decided
to call on Governor Stanley to aid
them in getting through the LegislaS
ture two bills in which they are es-
pecially interested. This decision
was reached after the miners had
heard of the difficulties of getting
legislation beneficial to miners
through the present Legislature.
Senator ]. A. Leach, of Ohio coun-
ty, said the operators had such a
grip on the Legislature that it was
impossible to make any progress
with legislation favored by the
miners.
w. o. Smith, an International Or
ganizer, said. the miners are weary
of seeing the Legislature legislate In
the interests of canary birds, black
birds and cattle, forgetting legisla-
ton in the interest of human be-
ings.
Reference was made to the weishs
ing bill and the guard bills which the
miners are advocating, and the as
sertion was made that Gov. Stanley
could use his influence to put these
bills through.
Smith asked for resolution call
ing the Governor to aid the miners in
their efforts to secure this legislation.
Mr.. Smith recalled the fact that when
Mr.. Stanley was in Congress he often
expressed willingness to come to Ken
lucky to help any miner. Mr.. Smith
said he now had an opportunity to
help thousands of Kentucky miners.
J.. r. Jarvis, George Baker and
Yves Ames were named on the COM
mittee to draft the resolution.
One is a Democrat, one Repub-
lican and one Socialist.
The bills favored by the miners
are Senate bills 76, "a and ia. One
provides that the coal operators
shall report to the State Commis-
sioner of Mines each month the guam
tity of coal they have mined and the
amount paid the miners. The other
bills provide for safety appliances.
The most important work of yes
terday's meeting was the selection
of Wage Scale Committee to con-
fer, at some later date, with the coal
operators to agree upon a wage scale
for the coming year. The commit
tee selected consists Of the four Of
fcers of the ssociation--Robert Pol
lock, president; H. H. Vincent. Sec
, rotary; w. w. Duncan, vice presi-
dent, and George Baker, internation-
al board member. and John. T. Maine,
of Beaver Dam; Richard Baker. Of
Beaver Dam; w. c. Hopgood. of Hem
derson; John Render, of Graham,
and Yves Ames, of Dekoven. As soon
as the New York conference is con-
cluded the committee will ask for q
conference with the mine operators.
1t is hoped that this conference may
take place the last of this week or the
, first of next week.
