UNSEEN DUST IS
MOST DANGEROUS
Government to Investigate Ex-
tent Of Danger in Use Of Vari-
Gus Types Of Respirators.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-An in
vestigation of the various types CT
respirators used by workers in numer-
Gus Industries in preventing the in
halation of injurious dusts is to be
undertaken at the Pittsburgh, Pa ex-
pertinent station of the United States
bureau Of mines.
Stone dust and metal dusts that
are breathed by miners, stone cutters
and metal polshers have been the
cause of much pulmonary disease, in
capacitating many workers and at
times resulting in early deaths.
Investigators have learned that the
finest particles of dust of size far
too small to be seen by the unaided
eye, are the ones that lodge in the
lungs and do most damage. At pre-
sent little is known Of the merits Of
the different filters used for respira-
tors and workmen often prefer to
p1 otect themselves with towel or
handkerchief tied around their faces
IN the proposed tests by the bureau of
mines fine particles such as compose
tobacco smoke and fine material dusts
suspended in air will be filtered with
the different materials. The relative
effectiveness of the filters will be noted
as well as their resistance to passage
Of air and tendency to clog. The
information obtained may be used to
design more effective dust respirators.

ATLANTA, Ca. Sept. 29.-Presi-
dent Gompers favors the creation Of
the "Profiteers' Bughouse party" and
has nominated Ex-Governor Brown
of this state, and Congressman Blan-

Brown that the trade unionist, to-

sories to murder in deaths growing
out of strikes.
President Gompers challenged
Brown to place his information be-

"Unless he does it," said the trade
unionisht, 'he writes himself as a
mischievous falsifier and slanderer
and is unworthy of the respect of
the people of any community. There
is but one other man in the United

RAIL UNIONS TO
SUPPORT CHIEFS
Trainmens' Organization Voting
With Shop Crafts on Wage
and Rules Questions.

The vote Of the railroad shopmen
has been counted and the officers Of
the trainmens' organization are now
completing the vote Of the four rail-
road brotherhoods and the Switch
mems union, on the question Of ac-
cepting a reduction in wages or fa-
Voring a strike.
The shop crafts voted by an over
w.lelming majority in favor of q
strike. Fully 80 per cent of the votes
of the trainmens' organizations So
far counted indicate that the brother
hoods and the switchmen have voted
to authorize their officers to call a
strike if a better wage schedule can
not be granted to them.
The vote does not order a strike
It merely vests in the officers power
and authority to call strike if nee.
essary. President Jewell of the rail-
road department of the A. F. of L.
has charged that the railroad mana.
gers are attempting to provoke tn,
men to striek.
1t may be that the wage question
will become secondary with the rail-
road employees. The rules the mana
gers are attempting to invoke on the
men may become the chief factor in a
dispute. This was brought out at the
big meeting held in Chicago re-

American Legion Commander
Declares Existing System Dis
grace to That State.

CHARLESTON. w. Va. Sept. o.
In his investigation of the citizens
uprising in Fayette, Kanawha, Boone.
Lincoln and Logan counties recently,
J. Byron Nickerscn, department COM
mander of the American Legion in
this state, says it was a protest
against the mine guard system, AMI
in discussing the Baldwin-Feltz de-
tectives and other private guards ,of
the coal operators, says: THAT suca
system exists is a disgrace to the
state, and justifies most any. means
that can be thought of to bring it to
an end
His report covering that phase Of
the situation is couched in the fol-
lowing language:
''Protest against the mine guard
SYSTEM: This. it is thought. is the
real cause of the disturbance.
''The great coal companies in this
section (southern) Of the state OF
West Virginia have in their employ "a
large number Of men, known as mine
guards who are responsible only to
the coal companies and do their bid
ding. They are furnished by the
Baldwin-Feltz private detective
agency, and to use the mildest term,
are soldiers of fortune, recruited from
all parts of the country. They are a
law unto themselves. That such
system exists is disgrace to the state,
and justifies most any means that can
be thought of to bring it to an end"
Notwithstanding the above facts,
the coal masters and their agents be-
tween the imbibings of Scotch high
balls pour column after. column of de-
malls that guards are employed by
them into the willing ears Of the
scribes of the kept" press to be fed
to the public at the breakfast AMI
supper tables in endless profusion--
and the governor shrieks from the
house tops about law and order. He
declared at the bankers Parkersbury
pow-Wow that laws enforcement is
states greatest need" to which all
citizens most heartily acclaim; but he
makes no attempt to bring it about
and supinely bows to the will Of coal
masters who maintain private arsen-
ais and an army Of thugs to enforce
their laWleSS commands.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

NEW YORK, Sept. 29:-Recent in
creases in the cost of living as an
nounced by the United States bureau
of labor statistics, are facts worth
committing to memory, says Max D.
Danish, editor of Justice, official
magazine Of the international Ladies'
Garment Workers union.
'The new rise in the cost of liv-
ing" he says, "gives the lie to the
assertions of the wage cutters and
their editorial proponents and sup
porters. These facts should be made
known as widely as possible and
should become the most powerful
weapon in the counter-offensive Of
the workers against those who are
taking advantage of the present
economic crisis to break down their
standard of living"

WEST VIRGINIA UPRISING DUE
T0|LLECAL ARREST Of MINERS
Workers. Recent Marching Expedition Was Result Of Thug Tac-
tics on Part Of Authorities; Minors Counsel Tells Of Gross
;. 7raVesty on Justice and Total Disregard Of Law.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The i'm
mediate reason for the march Of the
striking miners upon Mingo county
was the illegal arrest and detention Of
3s of their comrades, according to
Neil BurkinshaW, counsel for District
II. United Mine Workers Of America,
who has returned from the disturb
ance area.
"Thirty-siX union miners were ar
rested on such trivial charges as hav-
ing in their possession a copy of Tho
f'ederationist, our state labor paper,
or Of unlawfully assembling because
a few men gathered to talk matters
over" Burkinshaw declares. These
men were arrested on the pretext
that martial law was put into effect
by the state authorities and some Of
them have been held in Jail without
a hearing for more than 40 days.
Since the assassination Of Sid Hat
field and Chambers the miners OF
West Virginia feel that the state has
surrendered it's authority to the mine
owners and that no union mans life
is safe. The miners determined to
rescue their comrades and that start
ed the march on Mingo.
When Miners Started.
The miners did not start the
march until they had been convinced
that the state government of West
Virginia was entirely in the hands Of
the mine owners. Governor Morgan
has had 100 chances to stop the
trouble and it would be stopped to-
morrow if the miners could feel that
the power Of the state. including the
courts, were not arrayed against
them. The whole affair started when
the mine owners brazenly violated an
order Of the United States bituminous
coal commission and the state of
West Virginia backed them in their
defiance. Had there been equal and
honest enforcement Of the state and
federal laws in West Virginia the
trouble never would have started"
During the war;" said Burkin-
shaw, the government asked the
miners to work at their old wages,
promising an early adjustment The
miners patriotically consented, al
though the cost of living was rapidly
mounting. Finally the bituminous
coal commission awarded 27 cent
increase in wages.
Wages and Prices,
This increase was put into effect
IN union district, but the majority OF
the West Virginia mines were unor-
ganized and as consequence they
were allowed a raise Of between an;i
8 per cent. Even this small advance
was wiped out by corresponding in.
crease Of prices of all commodities Al
the company stores. The miners alsc
complained about being persistently
cheated by underweighing. -.
The miners appointed committee.
to protest to the owners and tn:
members of these committees were
discharged. Then they went on strik;
and asked the mine workers to or
ganize them. They were told the,
could not be organized while on strike
and to return to work. They did, bu1
all members of the committees who
consulted with our union Officials
were discharged. xse.v;s.xas0
