KEENET ISSUES
STATEMENT ON
WAGE CHANGES
Declares He Has Made No
Arrangements For a
Conference

Nothing has been heard at the
Fairmont office Of the United Mine
Workers of America in regard to.I
.wage readiastment, but last night
c. Frank Keeney, Charleston, pres
ident Of district II, United Mine
Workers OF America, commented
on the subject, which is covered in
the Associated Press report as fol.
lows:
Denial OF the press reports that
representatives OF mine operators
and the United Mine Workers OF
America were planning a confer.
ence with designs on reaching an
agreement towards a wage reduc-
ton was made Tuesday by G.
Frank Keeney, president Of Dis
trict II, United Mine Workers, In
an open letter to all local unions
in the dirtrict.
eve want to advise the mem.
bership,' Keeney declared in his
letter. that these statements are
misleading and that there has been
no arrangements for a conference
with the Northern West Virginia
Operators Association for the ad.
justment of wages"
Some tradesmen believe 1t Is a
mistake to jazz up conditions by
talking Of wage cut, because II
will defer the arrival Of a market
! for coal. Reports indicate that the
officials OF the United Mine Work
ers Of America at indianapolis will
not sanction a wage reduction and
the only way this could be accom-
plished would be to fight the union,
something which the larger com.
pany would hesitate to do. The
trade is apt to hold OF buying as
long us there Is any talk Of read,
justment Of wages.
Miners Lose Case.
The Morgantown New Dominion
today prints the following:
Possession Of II of its houses
was given the Nellie Coal company,
OF Hoard, In eviction suits heard
Tuesday before Justice OF the Peace
Smith A. Posten. The cases orig.
mated from a shutdown of the COM
pany mines some time ago and 8
resumption Of operations under a
reduced scale at which the miners
occupying the houses refused to
work. The concern then brought
suit to secure possession OF Their
properties.
"The miners were defended by
Attorney Harold Houston, Of
Charleston, Of counsel for the Uni.
ted Mine Workers. Attorney Glenn
Hunter appeared for the plaintiffs.
"The arguments before the jus
tice were on points Of law, Mr.,
Houston holding that the company
had violated its wage contract with
the United Mine Workers and
therefore could not evict occupants
OF the houses. The justice held that
this was not revelant to the issue.
Attorney Houston gave notice
OF an appeal Of the case, indicating
that the miners organization would
furnish bond"
