led a stray horse to the door of Rob-
bins wagon and harness store or
Water street and made the animal
enter the building this morning
shortly before noon will perhaps
never be known. but the occurrence
attracted many curious spectators.
The horse walked calmly into the

a suit OF harness. Immediately effort
was made to induce the animal TO re-
turn to the street, but it took sew
eral negroes to accomplish this with
the aid of ropes and improvised har-
ness.

New-York tribune., 1921-11-13
SSUneasy lies the head that wears a crown"

you to-day we have thirteen states represent
ed.
Furthermore, a great deal of Importance
has been attached to the conditions in West
Virginia. | want to make proposition here
that the interests of the West Virginia
miners, by reason of the efforts Of our or
ganization here, have been hampered and in
jured more within the last year than in any
year since they have been operating in the
State of West Virginia"
John Mitchell, who was president of the
miners organization at the time of the second
annual joint conference, is quoted in the
statement of the Williamson operators as
having said:
II know of no breach of faith on the part
Of the miners since the last convention ad-
journed. In West Virginia it is true that
our organization has not made as much prog
ress we might desire. But l want to say
to you operators that an effort has been made
during the last year to curtail the production
of West Virginia coal by attempting to pre-
vent its sale on the market. /. -
The operators association Of the Williamson
field in their statement also say:
prior to this conspiracy Of 1893 the opera
tors Of West Virginia had been, and were at
the time Of the formation of such conspiracy,
dealing directly with their employees. and gen
eral contentment in the mining industry pre-
vailed, but, as shown by the foregoing state
ments of the mine workers officials. immedi-
ately after the formation of said conspiracy
and without any desire ON the part of West
Virginia miners or operators, the mine work
ers' organization commenced to send into West
Virginia it's agitators, and by the year 1902
had induced some of the miners of West Vir-
ginia to join this organization. In the year of
1902 the organization, through it's officers,
New-York tribune., 1921-11-13

miners said that it would hamper them and
would prevent their accomplishing the pur-
poses which they desired to accomplish. For
that reason it was left out, as l understand
and understood the matter at that time
Mr.. Chapman is further quoted as having
said in that conference held in 1899:
Fellow miners of the four. states, West
Virginia is taking the labor to-day that you
are entitled to, or portion of it; they
working ten to twelve hours per day, and
they are getting all they can do, and they
have been, while the mines in my state (Ohio)
during large part of the summer have
worked only one day or one and half days
per week.
Il hold in my hands statement, and it is
only for coal going to the Lakes. What does
it show? 1t shows that Pennsylvania and
Ohio have both lost in their shipments to the
Lakes during the period of 1898 and that
West Vrginia-this is only the coal to the
Lake Erie ports, my friends, mind you-West
Virginia increased from 44s,3 1866 tons in the
year 1897 TO 843,380 tons IN -s98."
Other operators and miners too, are quoted
in statement of the case OF the operators of
the Williamson field President Ratchford of
the United Mine Workers, replying to state
ments such as that of Mr.. Chapman, said:
In cur agreement of one year ago (18eSJs
promised to the operators who met with
Us that we would afford them all possible pro-
lection against the competition of morgan
ized fields From the remarks Of some of the
delegates to-day and yesterday / take it that
the operators are Of the opinion that such
protection was not given, and, in fact, that no
effort was made to give it. To disprove those
assertions can give you no better assertion
than this: That when vs. met one year ago we
had five states represented; when we meet
New-York tribune., 1921-11-13

in that state SO as to hinder, obstruct and pre-
vent competition of West Virginia coal with
the coal produced and sold by the operators Of
the central competitive field, with the
increasing of the cost of production of West
Virginia coal, reducing the output of such coal
and imposing ineauitable labor conditions in
that state
In SUPPORT Of that charge the operators of
non-gnion mines in the Williamson field, in
formal statement, quoted for the benefit of the
subcommittee of the United States Senate
what purported TO be extracts from the 1899
joint conference Of coal miners and coal oper-
ators, held in Pittsburgh. One of the men
quoted was H. L. Chapman, an operator from
ONO His alleged remarks before that con-
terence and which now are a part of the
Senate committees record follow:
What were the new conditions last year
when we entered into the agreement at Chi
cago, and what were the inducements that led
the operators of the four competitive states to
enter into that agreement? What promises
and pledges were made on behalf of you gen.
tlemen who are on my right and your repre-
sentatives!
"It was as much part Of that agreement
that was made at Chicago, although net in
corporated in the written instrument which
was signed, as was any part Of the agreement
that was signed, that during the year covered
by that agreement the competitive field of
West Virginia was to be brought up in price
and down in hours of labor, or that at the ex-
piration Of that agreement, the competitive
field Of those four states was to be put upon
competitive basis with that field. When it
was suggested in the convention and in the
committee that that should be Incorporated
into the agreement the representatives Of the
New-York tribune., 1921-11-13

called statewide strike which strike was
called because of that unlawful agreement,
and during the strike the organization spent
vast sums of money that had been obtained by
it under the illegal contracts made between the
officials of the miners organization and the
operators of the Central Competitive Field
providing for the collection of dues and as
sessments over the pay rolls of the operators.
As an inducement to the miners of West Vir-
ginia TO come out on strike the organization
agreed to, and did, pay to the miners so strik-
ing vast sums Of money designated as relief
During the strike the mining and market
ing Of coal in West Virginia was hindered,
obstructed and delayed and in all those sec
tions of West Virginia where the strike be-
came effective the coal industry became para
lyzed.'
Would those statements, If upheld in court,
answer the question why the check-off might IN
the past have been desirable to the soft coal
men of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Western
Pennsylvania?
The West Virginia operators of non-union
mines make other contentious in that state
ment submitted to the Senate committee They
say:
Notwithstanding the activities of the
United Mine Workers organization through
its officials and hired agitators in their efforts
to compel the miners of West Virginia to join
the union and thus become soIidly organized,
the miners of West Virginia, or great num-
ber of them, have refused to join the union,
and the officials of the United Mine Workers
organization, realizing that the miners of
West Virginia could not be induced to join
such organization by the use Of lawful means,
entered upon campaign Of lawssssness and
violence to terrorize and intimidate the miners
