Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-10-28

| Don Chain, sheriff of Logan county,
was generally considered the leader
of the force that kept the Kanawha
county union miners out of Logan
county.
AS a matter of fact, Chain was
little more than a tool in the hands
of the Logan county coal operators
association. Officials of this organi-
zation were to be found continually
in the apartment at the Aracoma
Hotel where Chafn directed his mill
tary operations" They ordered am
munitioE and supplies for the troops
and in general ran the whole ''war."
When Chain gave out statements
to newspaper correspondents he usu-
ally had an official of the Logan
County Operators Association on
either side to guard against his say
ing anything indiscreet. They whis-
pered in his ear continually as he
talked.
On at least one OCCASION Chafn's
official statement was handed to re-
porters, not by Chain or by any
county official, but by an official of
the Logan County Coal Operators
Association.
The operators had so mucn power
in Logan county at tue time of the
recent outbreak that they several
times very nearly succeeded in estab-
fishing actual censorship over out
going news dispatches, a thing which
the United States Government did not
even do at the time Of The World
War. One correspondent for a New
Vn,lr G1AI -
the Western Union office in Logan re-
porting interviews he had with lead
ers Of the union miners. Very ma
turally these remarks were not flat
tering to the Logan county coal oper-
ators. The Western Union operator
sent a portion of the dispatch and
then referred it to county officials
and the coal operators. The reporter
was summoned to headquarters and
severely "balled out"
There are two distinct classes of
miners in the West Virginia field, a
thing which most previous writer's
have failed to point out.
The first is the native mountaineer.
His ancestors may have been bond
servants of Virginia noblemen, while
Virginia was the principal British
American colony. Many of these bond
servants fled to the mountainous re-
gions Of what is now West Virginia
and settled there. For years they
and their descendants lived an isolated
life in the mountains.
They were the most independent peo-
pie on earth. They planted corn and
kept pigs and chickens. They grew
tobacco but only enough for their
own personal needs. They did not
sell produce; they never saw money
and they had no need of it. Thew
lived from their own corn patch a2d
from what game the mountain forests
afforded.
Now when the coal industry was
opened into West Virginia it brought
about change in the lives of these
mountain-people. Many of them went
to work in the mines but they did not
surrender their ancestral independ-
ence. They did not become industrial
slaves. They were not entirely de-
pendent upon their employment for
existence because they had the neces-
sites of life in their back yard. These
people did not live in company houses
in the mining villages. They lived in

Fishing For Suckers

New Bricklayers, plasterers
and carpenters and artisans in allied
trades are warned that pretended
shortage of such labor in San Ber-

and "calls" which have been sent out
from there to obtain the services of
such workers are in fact nothing but
an attempt to get men who will work
for wages lower than the union scale.

SPURGiN LOCATED In
MEXICO AND WILL BE
SENT BACK TO U. S. A.

Ell Paso, Aug. 4.-Warren c.. Spur
gin, missing president of the failed
Michigan Avenue Trust Company, is
in the vicinity of Chihuahua, Mexico,
according to a telegram received by
the Ell Paso police. The telegram
added the arrest of the banker was
momentarily expected.
Mexican officials, it was said were
cooperating with American officers in
the seach OF the missing man.
In the absence of recognition of
the Mexican government by the Unit
ed States no extradiion treaty with
that country is in force and the legal
manner of securing Spurgin's return
to the United States is for President
Obregon to order his expulsion from
Mexico as a pernicious foreigner.
