NUMBER OF VICTIMS
OF THE CURFEW LAW
INCREASES WEEKLY
icy MORNING JovesAL SPECIAL LEASED Wig

Dublin, July 30.-The number
of persons who are victims of the
curfew law increases weekly and
the experience which they all
must go through is exciting, If not
comfortable. The majority of those
taken by the military are persons
who had no intention of violating
the law but are detained at the
home of q friend beyond midnight.
The usual procedure is this: A
military motor lorry filled with SOL
diors, each with a strong SEARCH
light, comes up along side of the
unfortunate ones and calls upon
them to halt. A request is made for
permit and if, as usual, there Is
none Forthcoming, the Dublinites
are taken into custody, loaded into
the truck which then proceeds on
its way.
From time to time, joyful citizens
who have dined too well, are col
lected and join the party. When
the searchers are through the
whole load of violators are taken
to the Bridewell prison where they
must spend the night. If the Of
tenders prove to be obviously inno-
cent citizens they are released IN
the morning and none are worse
off except for the ride in the lorry
which they say is the worst fea-
ture of the experience.
Frequently attempts are made to
hide from the approaching lorries,
but the searchlights reach the in
nermost corners of the doorways
and passages and few escape.

UNION|ZING Of
". VA. MINERS
BRINGS TROUBLE
Dispute Between Coal 0per-
ators and Union Leaders
Over Organization of the
Workers Causes Conflict


Williamson, w. Va, July 30.-An
industrial conflict is being waged
between mine operators and lead
ers of the United Mine Workers
over the question whether all the
bituminous 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 adoptC
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 sit
uation here by saying:
Only 1000 Union Members.
"There are approximately $1,000
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 organize these miners
is well under way and we expect
TO have it completed before snow
lilies.
"The mine guards are deprivifg
the men of their constitutional
rights and that brings about troll
BILE. Why, | understand the sher-
iff of Pike county has deputi2ed
some 800 men and the coal COM
panies 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 at
tempt were made to operate the
mines here with noh-union men -?
1 wouldn't like to say. But in their
present temper, these men are not
TO be fooled with. Right now This
situation is a powder mill. The men
have no complaint when the law
is enforced by the proper authorl-
ties. But they will oppose TO the
