MINERS BEING
TRIED
Efforts of Owners to Feu-
dalize Men Will Be
Shown

Williamson, w. Va.-The effort Of
West Virginia coal owners to feudal-
ize employees is bound to feature the
trial of score of men charged with
murder, as the result of an attempt
by Baldwin-Feltz detectives to evict
striking miners from shacks owned by
tie Stone Mountain Coal Company, at
Matewan, near here.
The detectives adopted their usual
terroristic tactics, but these mountain
men were too quick for them and seven
detectives were killed, as was C. c..
Testerman, mayor off Matewan, and
two other citizens. Among the de-
PENDANTS is one negro, B. R. Page All
of them have been under $4,000 bail,
and with the exception of Page, were
present at the opening of the trial
The negro's bail was declared for
feited, but the next day he proved to
the court that a train wreck made his
appearance at the opening of court
impossible and Judge Bailey withdrew
his order
Federal troops, under commanl of
Colonel Hall. are at the trial because
of the bitterness against the Baldwin
Feltz thugs. Public opinion is also
embittered against the coal barons be-
cause Of their eviction of women and
children, who are forced to live
against the snow covered mountains
in tents furnished by the United Mine
Workers Union.
The union is defending the accused,
who insist that the shots fired by them
were in self defense.

PROTESTS REPORTS

Iitor of the News.

To the Editor of the News:
Some publicity has been given in
the press Of this state to a certain
decision in the case of George Bralis
against Alex Fiangas and others, and
in some instances it has been said. in
substance. that the suit was brought
upon a note given to Bralis for money
loaned to the defendants for the pur-
pose of purchasing liquor.
An investigation will show that
such was not the case. but that, on
the other hand, the money in ques-
tion was paid directly By Bralis to a
wholesale liquor dealer in Ely. and
the purchase was made just a few
hours before the prohibition law went
INTO effect. The liquor was moved
from the place where II was pur-
chased in a truck belonging to the
defendants. and | beg to assure the
public that this is the only connec.
tion any of the defendants ever had
with the case. and even this is a mat
ter of sincere regret. The testimony
on the part of the defendants was 10
the effect that about hour before
the time set for the closing of estab-
lishments dealing in liquor Bralis
came to n of the defendants, who
was then IN bed. and asked him To
move the liquor to a point designated
iy Bralis and only as a matter OF ae-
eommodatiGn.

other hane Bralis has. since the trial
OF the case above referred to been
arrested, convicted and punished by
