Chicago, May 20. - Andrew T.
Murphy. publisher Of the Black Dia-
mond. one Of the leading coal trade
Journals. last night said the West
Virginia mine battle probably was an
incident in the labor war which has
been in progressthere for moro than

''The Stone Mountain Coal Com
pany IL a comparatively new con-
cern." said Mr.. Murphy. 1.-THE Minso
field Is q part Of the Logan field,
second largest in tho country. It
was opened ADOPT three years ago.
The United Mine Workers Of
America have been making a drive
to unionize the Mingo field with tho
idea Of eventually controlling the en-
tire Logan field. They gained q
foothold in what Is known as the
Kanawha field, some seventy five
miles away. last year. Up until that
time all attempts to unionize West
Virginia had been fruitless.
Governor Cornwell Of West vir.
ginia backed. the mine operators In
their fight. and, the federal govern
ment, realizing tho Importance Of the
situation. stood behind the governor.
Thus. when union organizers ap-
peared in the coal fields, they found
hard row to hoe. Not only were
the miners satisfied with wages, but
state and federal officials interfered
with labor propaganda.
''Of late the feeling has been BIT
ter, with frequent shootings. And as
long as union agents remain in the
coal fields trouble probably will con-
tinue"
