UNION WAR ON
In COAL FIELD
Conflict on Over Organi-
cation or No Organi-
cation

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, July 81
An industrial conflict is being wsg-
ed between mine operators and lead
ers of the United Mine Workers over
the question whether all the btu
minous coal miners in West Virginia
shall be organized as union. men.
The miners leaders also demand
that the scale of pay now in use
in the Kanawha field be adopted in
the Mingo county bituminous field
here.
Charles F. Keeney, president of
district No. II of the United Mine
Workers, who is in command of the
union forces, explains the situation
here by saying:
There are approximately $4,000
organized miners in West Virginia
and $4,000 who have not yet been
organized. These unorganized men
are mostly in the counties of Mingo,
Mcdowell, Logan, Raleigh, Mercer
and Wayne, all in the southern part
of the state. The campaign to or
ganize these miners is well under way
and we expect to have it completed
before the snow flies.
''The men and the operators could
get together and settle this thing if
it were not for the mine guards. They
are depriving the men of their con-
stitutional rights and that brings
about trouble. Why, l understand
the sheriff of Pike county has depu-
tized some 800 men and the coal
companies are paying them, while de-
tectives are on the border between
Mingo and Mcdowell counties with
rifles and machine guns.
What would happen if an attempt
were made to operate the mines here
with non-union men? | wouldn't
like to say. But in their present
temper, these men are not to be fool
ed with. Right now this situation
is a powder mill. The men have no
complaint when the law is enforced
by the proper authorities. But they
will oppose to the last, the use of
private armies enlisted by coal COM
panies."
Harry Olmstead, of the Coal OPP
orators Association of Williamson,
gave the other side of the contro-
versy.
''The United Mine Workers want
to organize their field" said Mr.. Olm-
stead, land then move on to the larg-
er and more important fields of Nc
Dowell, Wyoming, Mercer counties,
and what mines have not been organ
lied in Raleigh. These are the last
important unorganized bituminous
coal fields in the country and, with
these organized, the union will con-
troll the bituminous production of the
United States. They will then be in
position to enforce the demands for

LESLIE CLEANS
UP ATLEESBURC
S. o. S. For Players Fails
To Stop Smuggling
Team

LESLIE, July 31.-"Duck" Swain
and Ashby Fuss sent out the S. o. S.
Thursday night for the game at
Leesburg Friday to try to stop the
fast-going Leslie team, for there was
distress among the greatest bunch of
sporting blood ever seen here - for
they are clean bunch, and they back
their team to the limit. Players came
from all directions, from the highways
and hedges. Kimbrell, catcher from
Sylvester; Houser, from Macon, and
"Old Bunk" Gibson, of Albany, were
shot in to strengthen the weak
spots, and all was ready for the Chat
tie royal" And the Leesburg hackers
are to-day a wiser but sadder crowd,
having learned just what various and
SuGdry other neighboring towns have
known long time.
Manager Swain-Heath & Co., like
Steve Brodie," took a chance-and
sent Pelham Fuss, late of the 4th Ma
tiOnal team of Macon, to the mound,
and in the first inning he had it all,
but in the second and third he was
driven to the showers. Then one Mr..
FUR, who is said to have held the
Atlantic Steel team scoreless at Syl-
vester this week, was slaughtered by
the same hitters and went the route
that Mr.. Fuss had already travelled.

Irish Again Seeking
Larkin's Release Here

DUBLIN, July 31-There is a
renewed agitation in Ireland for the
release from prison of James Lar
kin, now serving a sentence in Am.
erica. Some of the new town coun.
ellis have taken up the matter, anC
are busy passing resolutions about
it.
At Mullinger the town council de-
manded Larkin's release, and Mr.
Brett, a member of the county coun.
ell, said that, as Larkin was an Irish
citizen any communication with ref
erence to him from the American
government should be made through
the Irish Republican government and
he thought the matter should be plac-
ed in the hands of the minister OF
foreign affairs of the Irish Republi-
can government. Other Irish coun-
ellis are acting similarly.

mulated at the Cleveland convention
last year, and which they could not
enforce in the general coal strike
last year, because our mines in this
part of the state were operating and
men stuck to their posts. We saved
the country from suffering then be-
cause this field was not organized.
"The Kanawha scale which the
unions demands is less than the scale
we are now paying and | don't know
that the question of treatment or
working conditions has entered into
the controversy. 1t is just a ques-
ton of the United Mine Workers
unionizing the mines, with all that
such course carries. We object to
that, because for a matter of 20
years, we have enjoyed peace and
quiet here in this field, and may say
that because of this, we have made
the success of this field possible.
"All differences have been settled
by operators and miners, and settled
satisfactorily. | know some union
men who have come in here from
union fields but they left just as soon
as the union organizers came in last
spring. / don't believe there is any
basic union sentiment in the field, be-
cause the men have always made good
money.
"The mines are among the best
in the state. We have no gas and
consequently no explosions and the
living conditions in the valley are
good.

Don't Gamble With
Fire." Govt. Advises

WASHINGTON, July 31-Seldom
if ever, does the government advise
speculation, but the Department of
Agriculture says:
eff you have got to gamble, take
a flyer on the stock market or play
the ponies, but don't take a chance
on fire." 1t gives this advise in a cir
cular in it's campaign against forest
fires.
'It never pays to take chance
with fire." says the circular. "The
biggest fires in history were started
by those who didn't think the woods
would burn. Be as careful as you are
of powder: it's just as dangerous"

for that district.

Low Rate on Mark
Now Worries Wilhelm

DOORN, Holland, July 31-The

greatly worried about the low ex-

Recently, in hope of securing quar-

The prices have been quoted in
Dutch guilders but William reducing

his hands and called the prices pre-

and colored should do their best to
avoid trouble, but the whites should
not need to be reminded that the most
is expected of them. Our opinion
on this subject is stimulated by a
cartoon in the last issue of the OBJ
server, Charlie Jones' paper. It shows
two ugly and grotesquely dressed
negro women discussing political af-
fairs, while in one corner is a copy
of the negro edition of the Times
Union. The cartoon is exactly intend
ed to stir up ill-feeling. We doubt
that the artist could have found any
originals to draw it from in Florida,
SO he must have drawn it from dis
torted imagination. What is the use
of printing such things? Jones is al
ways attacking the Tines Union, but
that paper has never done anything
to make trouble between the races.

two children, son and daughter.
The daughter is Mrs. Mary Sher-

ter and her family and has since re-
sided there,
Mr.. Sheppard left the glorious tes-
timony that he was ready and pre-
pared to 60. He leaves a daughter
and three grandchildren at Sparr.
besides many relatives in Vermont, to
mourn his death. May the Lord pour
healing ointment on their bleeding
hearts and help them to realize that
the Good Shepherd leadeth and it is
well and that all things work to-
gether for good to those who love the
Lord. The Lord gave and the Lord
hath taken away; blessed be the name
of the Lord.
The remains were laid to rest in

HARRELL-BAxTER


Wednesday night, as lone and dreary,
We operated, worn and weary,
/ On the stiffest old typewriter that
e'er came down from days Of yore,
There came a gentle rapping,
A mild, persistent tapping
As of some one lightly rapping upon
our Office door.
Said door was out of sight and as
we thought it was unattached we con-
IcIuded that it was Poe's raven, and
as we never did have any use for that
bird we decided to let him stay out
side. But directly as the gentle taps
continued, we heard more gentle and
also more musical voices, and looking
around the corner of the table we
saw smiling at US thru the glass, the
Misses Ellie and Minnie Tremere.
That couple is always as welcome as
the flowers in May, so we FASTENED to
open the door and let them in. With
them came three other young folk,
two of whom were blushing and one
wasn't. The blushers were Mr.. and
Mrs. H. C. Harrell, just married two
hours before, and the stalWart young
man who seemed to be guide, phil
losopher and friend. was Mr.. Joe Mar
shall.
The entire party was from Belle
view, where, at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. e.
Baxter, Miss Dorothea Goldie Baxter
was married at $3.50 p. m. to Mr..
Harry G. Harrell. The bride is a
petite and pretty young lady, who
came here with her parents two years
ago. The groom is one of our live
young farmers. Rev. Lawhon officiat-
! ed
The lively young friends of the
inewlyweds intended to give them a
shivarree, and the young folks, ac-
lcompanied by the Misses Tremere and
Mr.. Marshall. Immediately after the
wedding, jumped into an auto and
burnt much gas, lodging around on
the network of roads between here
and Belleview, and finally rounded
| themselves up in the Star Office where,
after once getting in, they were safe.
They did not stay long, however, but
autoed off into the darkness. We
hope they arrived home all right, but
wouldn't be surprised if they found
the shivarrecrs sitting on the door
step. Al shiyarreer is one of the most
persistent birds that sings.
2. s.: At 1890. just as we were
going to hit the hay, the phone rang,
and the doleful voice of G. A. Ire
mere at Belleview informed US that
the shivareers had captured his house
and were making everything but
music. They seemed disappointed
about something he said. The newly
weds had not shown up. We told him
to tell the rioters that their victims
had been here, and if they 1.-THE
rioteersl were not too tired for them
to come on up here, and serenade US.
They didn't.
