COAL FIELD STRIKE
Continued from page !

Efforts of United Mine Workers MEM
bcrs of District IL, to nnionize the Guyan
field resulted in the march Of miners into
Boone county toward Logan, according
to the report.
Coal operators of the valley do not
employ armed guards, as has been chaTR-
ed, but they are paying monthly to the
sheriff q sum of money which is used to
pay certain deputies, the report says. This
practice is condemned by the major.
Regarding the charge that miners were
beaten and slugged in the Guyan field the
report says that while number of wit
nesses testified that they were arrested
and beaten, these incidents do not sui
fee TO sustain this charge or to justify
the wholesale indictment of conditions IN
Logan"
Other conclusions reached in the report
are: Rates of pay are apparently not
below those in union fields, labor, indus
trial and living conditions are as good as
in the best coal fields of the State; wit
nesses differed regarding the question OF
whether the miners wanted to be or
gained; and that the charge that work
i ers are kept in the mines by threats and
intimidation was not sustained.
