Union officials assert that $4,000
non-union Pennsylvania miners have
joined the union during the strike.
Contrary to expectations even of union
men, no break came among the
strikers, and officials of the United
Mine Workers assert they could carry
on their fight indefinitely.
Little violence marked the strike.
The outstanding exception was at
Herrin, H., where more than two
score non-union workers We're killed

a vacation for the miners. No gen.
eral program of relief was conducted

half million dollars cash when the
strike started, and when this was
spent the union was forced 10 get
loans from other unions:
Officers of the union took themselves
off the payroll early in the strike. and
in the respect of having no income
they shared the strike with the rank
