Grandson of "Deuil Anse''
A Chautduqua Lecturer

After my conversation with Don Chain the
next Hatfield encountered was Coleman. son
of Little Cap Hatfield and oldest grandson Of
the late Devil Anse Coleman SURELY shat
tered flock of cherished illusions. He was
spectacled, bald and scholarly If he wore
any kind Of a shooting iron I failed to discover
it in two days association with him. He
declined cigarettes and took no interest in
lnoonshine that after two quiet wears in the
wood was the precise shade of White Horse
and with a stronger kick Coleman, / learned,
was Chautauqua lecturer until the war came
along and the tent audiences lost their inter-
est, temporarily, in "From Might to Light
the story of the ending Of the Hatfield-McCoy
argument People in the early days of the
required more bloodshed in yarns than
Mr. Hatfield able to give them. After
all, there isn't much difference between Chau-
tauqua crowd and Spanish bullfight specta-
tors, except that the gathering at the bull ring
candidly shouts "sangria' when the picadors
penurious with horse flesh.
Coleman Hatfield became my guide when
I went to Omar, which is also in Logan
County, for a couple of days visit after
leaving the hospital in Logan. The general
superintendent, one Bill Jones, drove in after
he treated his non-union workmen and assured
me could convalesce quite as we'll in Omar
as in Logan, and he mentioned other advan-
tages.
Omar is the principal community on the
$4,000 acres Of coal land Of the Maine Island
Creek Coal Company, utterly opposed to
unions. 1t is the best of five mining towns
Of this company, each of which is set in the
gorgeous hills of Logan County, but not be-
cause of the scenery. They are there, the
dwelling places normally Gndustrially speak
ing) of some 5000 people, because of coal
seams that run through them as neatly
spaced as chocolate in a five layer cake.
Twer.ty-seven mines are in operation there.
Labyrinthne passages Of stygian blackness
have been bored through these thick coal
seams In the hills, of course, it is merely COAL
But brought out into the light Of day by the
combined efforts of all the workers Of these
mining towns, distributed over the land by
the grace of the C. & O., it is translated into
beautiful pottery in Cincinnati; Mason fruit
jars in Indiana; to transform mud into bricks
for schools and churches and homes-and to
heat those homes.
When you stop to give it thought there
is some substance to Bill Jones's enthusiasm
about digging COAL 1t is something more
than i grubby grimy affair of tonnage. It
is a very human industry. AS a matter of
fact, that seems to be the only trouble with
it.
Besides Omar, there are Barnabas (that is

Tearing in this paper, we the under
signed members Of the Supreme Council
Of the Labor Union take this opportunity
to state these facts
Cd That on June III. thu President
r. de Chab7rt, was invited TO attend a
meeting Of tie Supreme Council along
with the other paid and employed Exec
uti re officers OF the institution, which
invitation they declined, thus and other
wise treating the Council with supreme
contempt.
(2) The meeting was held without
their presence in view of their refusal to
attend and subsequently the "A members
of the Sup enc Council present at tina
meeting of the 7th sent a politely writ
ten invitation t. the President Of the
Labor Unio1 asking him to convene a
meeting Oh Friday the 18th inst. for the
purpose OF:
(a) Signing the deed giving to Mr.. D.
Hamilton Jackson the premises No. 2
Company Street.
(b) TIE putting before the Council a
long overdue Financial Statement Of the
standing Of the Institution.
(c) The showing up to the council the
original ontra t said to be existing be
Neen the Labor Union and ain attorney
at-law, named O. c.. Granady. whom
they say they have employed as attorney
for The Labor Union.
81 This request was ignored and
treated with severe contempt also. The
President ever refused to receive the
letter when it was taken to his office by
one Of the members of the council. 1t
was subsequently handed to the Secre-
tary OF the Labou" Union and nothing
further has been heard OF it, be it sufi-
cient 70 say that the meeting of the 18th
as requested has not yet been convened
by the President R.. de Chabert.
"a That in consequence of such dis
courtesy the Supreme Council has felt
freed from any obligation to notify off
GERS whom they employ If future meel-
ings because they have been as curt and
impoiite to the members Of the supreme
council as circumstances would permit.
(5) That Rev, R. G. Barrow is the
Acting Director of the Educational De
partment of the ST. Croix Labor Union
and will be 50 until the return of Mr.. D.
Hamilton Jackson. Arrangements 10 that
effect were made by the supreme council
in Jule 1920 and have not nee been
repudiated by them and these ar
rangements are recognised as binding
on the Union by the vast majority OF
the members Of the Institution.
Co. That regardless of who may think
otherwise we the undersigned know that
