HELP BRING A RAY OF SUNSHINE
INTO THE LIVES OF THE KIDDIES
OF WAR TORN, GUN RULED MINGO

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Nov. 49,.
Much has been said and written
about the gunner rule and their
lawlessness and the general strike
conditions in Mingo county, West
Virginia, but very little space has
been devoted to the 4,973 little chill
dren and babes that were thrown
upon the public highways by coal
company gunner during the eviction
Of the miners and their families in
the summer of 1920, and who have
since lived in tents and passed win
ter with the chilly blasts stabbing
into their tender flesh like needles
and the rain, sleet and snow sitting
in upon them adding to their misery
and suffering.
These little tots are the innocent
victims of the greedy coal masters,
who in their mad rush for profits
and power have crucified them upon
the cross of greed and thrown them
like mere chattels to wither and die
upon the public highways with but a
flimsy canvas between them and the
bitter elements, while the tyrants
revel in licentious luxury and gloat
over the misery and suffering of
The mothers and the children whom
they have torn from their homes be-
cause their fathers and husbands
sought to bring a little more sun
shine and happiness into their lives
by demanding their constitutional
and God given rights.
And now that the holiday spirit is
in the air and everybody is preparing
TO bring Christmas Joy to the chill
dren of their homes, we stop and
shudder at the thought of the near
y 5000 little kiddies of the striking
coal miners in war-torn Mingo coun-
ty who have lived in tents for nearly
Two years amid the bleak hills and
barren waste, exposed to the ele-
ments and denied all the joys of
childhood and with no prospects of
that Christmas cheer which is so
ioyously anticipated by the children
of the nation.
Last year the West Virginia Fed
erationist (the only class conscious
labor paper in West Virginia) con-
Quoted a Christmas fund campaign
which was literally contributed to
by the workers of this state and a
carload Of candies, nuts, fruits and
Christmas ham for each family
was distributed among them, and it
drew tears of joy from those who
went among them distributing the
goodies and saw the glad light that
sprang into their forlorn little faces
and the smiles that it drew from
sorrow-creased faces of the mothers
But alas, the iron heel Of the coal
