Authorities Against Unions.
These miners have come to re-
gard the state and those county
authorities who have not actually
sided with them. as inherent enc
mics This is because the author
tiles have been against the unions.
| The operators are proud of the
fact that during the last coal strike
their mines kept running. They
said they saved the country from
disastrous situation when all union
mines were shut down. The I'M
ions. furthermore. have been IN
reasonable at times and are prone
to cause trouble over the most
trivial details.
These arguments are used by the
operators as a basis for their de-
termination to pevent unionization
of the mines.
The guards and practically all
citizens in the coal field are against
the miners. With arrival of fed
eral troops miners are today hid
ing their guns and ammunition to
be ready for the next war. Anoth-
er wave of wild rumors and case
of actual brutality by a mine guard
and it will be on unless the con-
gressional committee does some
thing about it.
Other miners are surrenderinS
their arms and returning from the
front without interference-ofte Ell

Federal officers are in command
and state authorities are under
their directions.
The casualty list of the warfare.

the number of men fighting. 1t may
