SENATE PROBES
MING0 TROUBLES

Washington. d. C., July IA sen
CATION of disorders in the Mingo coal
fields of West Virginia, which have
led recently to declaration of martial
law by the governor, Neil Burkenshaw
representing the United Mine Workers
of America being the first witness
called. The trouble was due he said
to a lock OUT of union miners by the
mine operators
Miners had been evicted from COM
pany houses and "terrorised by gun
men" Burkenshaw asserted. 1l.ooo
miners and their families have been
provided houses in tent cities by the
union.
These people arc ninety-two per
cent American BORN he said. and
the mine operators are employing
Spaniards. Greeks. Italians and every
type of foreigner they can get to take
the places OF the locked out miners.
LTaylor Vinson for the operators said
Rurkenshaw's statement would be
''overthrown by evidence"
For twenty years, he said. miners
and employers lived in peace" under
n scale of wages that permitted an
eficient man to earn from 500 to 800 a
month" and that this condition per-
sisted until the United Mine Workers
sought to get control of the field.
I'VE propose to show that the United
Mine Workers up to 1912 was straight
abor union, but that in this year II
adopted principles which turned Its
membership into n band of robbers,
Vinson said. These are strong words,
but what they have done is to declare
that they will never remain satisfied
with any return for their labor except
that which includes the full social value
OF tho coal that Is mined.
Every murder and every riot IN
West Virginia can be laid TO this pol
icy of the United Mine workers first TO
unionizs and then to own the mines.
This Issue Is one Of robbery pure
and simple" Vinson continued. IT'S
not an open shop question"

Irishmen and women in Downing

hymns while the Archbishop of Can
