The True Situation
In MingO Co., W. Va.
(By Federated Press)

Charleston, w. Va. - Hundreds of
columns have been written about the
march of armed miners in West Vir-
ginia and the battles on the the noun
tain ridges between Coal River Valley
and Guyan Valley on the frontiers of
Logan county. Most of the matter
has been wildly inaccurate.
Logan is "scab" county, but Mingo
was organized by the United Mine
Workers early last year. 1t was the
first of the extreme southwest coun-
ties to be won for organization. How
ever, in spite of that fact, gunmen
continued to rule Mingo as much as
Logan. In Logan they are called
deputy sheriffs and in Mingo they are
mainly State militia and constabulary
! under State martial law. There is
difference in name but fundamentally
the oppression is the same In neither
county is there any freedom of press
or assembly in each county something
like one hundred men are in prison at
the present time because they are sus-
pected of desiring these rights. The
Governor was appealed to and re-
minded of his campaign promise that
the thug system must go, but there
was no help in that quarter, only
assistance to the other side.
Then came the indictment of Hat
field and Chambers on the charge of
taking part in an attack on Mohawk
in the neighboring non-union county
of Mcdowell. Governor Morgan
promised Hatfield and Chambers that
they would be protected if they ans
wered the indictment. Instead, they
were murdered in cold blood by a
man who is now out on bail and who
is said to have taken part in the re-
cent fighting.
Numbering Hatfield and Chambers
who were both much loved by the
miners of the state was the last straw.
The call to clean up Mingo, or as the
miners called it, "restore the Con-
stitution" could not be denied. In spite
of the official protest of the leaders
of District No.17, the march was on.
1t turned back once at the request of
Keeney and then broke forth with
greater vigor because of the night
attack on the little village of Sharp
less, August 27.
When the Federal soldiers came the
gunmen concentrated in Logan county
were being forced back, and a short
time more would have seen the work,
ers on their way through Logan tc
Mingo county to come to the aid OF
the oppressed fellow workers.
These facts are common knowledge
in this district but have not been pub
lished by the capitalistic press.

The Zoning Commission modified
it's ruling REQUIRING yards on both
sides of apartment houses at a
meeting yesterday in the ONCE of
Engineer Commissioner c. w. Kutz,
chairman of the commission.

County. one of the subdivisions of
the State of New Jersey (Which is
at the same time the home of Gov
Edward 1. Edwards and of the Rev.
Harry l.. Bowlby. secretary OF the
Lords Day Alliance) has two i'm
portant alliances-golf and agrt-
culture.
So. just as the Tavistok Country
Club of that county spent a lot Of
money improving its golf course
and acquiring more land, the more
conservative agricultural interests
decided that Sunday would have to
be a day of rest at the club. Mind
full of Mr.. Bowlby, but hopeful of
Gov. Edwards. the members got in
touch with State Senator John +.
Wallworth, of Haddonfield. n. J.. a
jovial Elk and cotton manufac-
turer, who is credited with great
ability in proving that State laws
can be "all things to all men,"
Before any one quite realized
what 1t was all about, Senator
Wallworth introduced his bill; It
sailed through both branches of the
Legislature and today Gov. Edwards
put his signature to law that

COURT RESTRAINS
DC. WAGE BOARD
Controversy With Laundry
May Be Settled in New
Conference.

Justice William Hitz in Equity
Court yesterday granted the request
of the National Laundry Company
for an Injunction restraining the
Minimum Wage Board from prose-
cutting it in the police courts for
alleged violations of the order of
the board requiring laundries TO
pay women workers a minimum
wage of SIS a week for experienced
help.
The question of the validity of
the law was not passed upon in
this case, as Justice Hitz has al
ready decided in another case that
the law was valid. The wage board,
when the proceedings began some
time ago. denied it intended prose-
cutting the laundries because the
proceedings involving the fixing of
the minimum wage were not yet
complete.
In the meantime the laundry COM
pany and the wage board will have
another conference with a view to
adjusting their differences.
The board agreed with the laun-
dry owners at the conference on the
wage question that its recommended
tions would take effect as of De-
cember l, 1920. The agreement was
not considered legally binding by
the board. which made no attempt
to enforce n, according to a state
ment issued by the board following
the decision of Justice Hitz.
The board has publicly held that
il did not consider this agreement
legally binding" read the statement,
"and would make no attempt to en-
force it's provisions by reporting
cases of noncompliance for prosecu-
ton.
THE injunction as issued by Jus
tice Hitz in no way applied to the
formal order establishing the mini
mum wage of SIS for women en-
ployed in laundries, which was is
sued by the board on January is.
1921. and will become effective
March 10"
