Gives Causes" for Riots In
West Virginia.
BY JOHN l.. LEWIS.
President OF the United Mine
Workers of America.

INDIANAPOLns, Sept. In
West Virginia. from the line OF the
Kanawha river northward. some
55, 900 miners are employed work
ing under Joint agreements between
the coal operators and the united
mine workers OF America. IN tAis
section peace and harmony prevail
between employers and employees,
with precisely the came relationship
as exists between the mine operators
OF Chic. Indiana. or Illiois, and their
employees who are members of the
United Mine Workers OF America
In those states.
In all OF this great area the Bald
win Felts mine guard or professional
gunman Is unknown; no disorders
occur and community life in the
mining camps is peaceful. Contrast
this condition with the situation eX-
listing in the unorganized territory
south and east Of the Kanawha river
In the counties Of Logan. M1ngo.
Mcdowell and Mercer.
10000 Men Employed.
In this section some 10000 men
are employed, who dare not become
mem bers of the United Mine Work
ers OF America for fear Of instant
discharge by the operators. They
live in unincorporated mining camps
where their domiciles and the land
upon which they are located are
owned solely by the coal companies.
In most instances there are no pub
lie roads leading to these communi-
ties and ingress and egress are over
land held by the coal corporations
To police this territory, prevent
the miners from joining the union
and hold them in complete sub1ec-
ton, the coal operators maintain
what is practically a standing army
Of mine guards. These guards are
furnished under contract by a de-
tective agency. This corporation
does an interstate business. charging
the coal operators so much per day
for each gunman furnished them
and receiving a stipulated profit for
each one over and above the ex-
penses Of his maintenance.
These guards are recruited from
all classes and all are equipped with
rifles. reviewers or AUTOMATIC p4SLO4S.
These professio nal gunner, directed
by the notorious agency. have dur
ing their years of employment infiict-
ed an almost countless number Of
physical assaults and outrages upon
individual mine workers.
All Americans.
The men employed in the mines OF
these four counties are almost 100
per cent American. They are Of a
race Of mountaineers who have peo-
pied this section since the days OF
the first settlement Of the country,
and deep in their hearts is the in
born love OF liberty. Their spirits
rebel against the unwarranted re-
stricuons upon their liberty and the
'ndignities which are perpetrated
upon them They have in vain
sought redress from the constituted
civil authorities Of these counties
and from the executives Of the COM
monwealth of West Virginia.

operators and detective agency IS
