It illustrated the fact that strikes are successful usually in proportion to the organization experience of the work CTS. As in the army, discipline and recognition of leadership must be de- veloped through training, otherwise the mob psychology that is inherent in a group of men results in rout or in violence. Reason is the proper basis of collective bargaining.

Survey of Coal Fields Shows
 Harding Plan Utter Failure

to reports from John O'Leary, Inter- national Board member of the United Mine Workers; John Hines and Will fam H. Feeney, union officials in the Fayette and Washington county dis triCts, that same condition maintains. No miners are weakening.
 We are 100 per cent. strong in this district today" declared O'Leary. And that despite the fact that there is considerable suffering in a good many cases. There will be no settle ment in this district until the union demands are met by the operators and Eve are prepared to fight to the finish. In fact, we have just begun to fight. Everywhere we are solid. There are no defeCtions among the men," '.' ,.
 Suffering is manifest among some of the miners whose idleness is now extending into the fifth month. Most of them are working at odd jobs. All of them are helping the less fortunate among them.
 In this district alone, approximate ly 4,ooo miners and their families are housed in tent colonies, in sheds, halls, shacks, barns and every avail able shelter.
 500 Tents House Families in Two
 Counties.
 Tent colonies stud practically every hillside while row upon row of com pany houses at every union mine are either empty or are daily emptying families. Each day since the first eviction took place, has seen the tent colonies growing until today there are over 500 tents alone in Fayette and Washington counties.
 Union headquarters at West Brownsville has been drawn upon for most of the tents. Some of the fami- lies, evicted for the most part from property owned by H. C. Prick, have taken shelter in barns. At Crystal mine at Cans Station in Fayette coun- ty, man and wife and II children were put off property of the Hillman Coal Company and are living in an abandoned stable.
 At the Continental Mine No. I 10 families are housed in one long shed, while at Bowood, one family evicted by the Republic Iron & Steel Com pany, found shelter in a chicken coop until the children were bothered by chicken lice and all found shelter in a tent.
 Little trouble has been reported from anywhere in the district since the strike began. Union leaders have repeatedly cautioned against demon strations or violence of any kind and

 STRIKE AGAINST

Entire Force at Paterson Quits When Ordered to Make Erie
 Repairs.

Paterson, N. J., Aug. II-The en- tire force of 225 men in the Cooke works of the American Locomotive Company here walked out on strike Tuesday when ordered to commence stripping a number of Erie railroad locomotives sent in for repairs
 The company had brought in four outside men to join in the work, and on top of this, according to the busi- ness agent for the union men, Or dered all hands to work on the Erie engines.
 John Richardson, business agent for District 5, Machinists' Union, A.. F. of L., said:
 "There were rumors that the American Locomotive Company in tended to have their office forces work on the engines at the shops. Nothing was done in that matter, however, and nothing new was done until four outside men were brought into the shop, and they began strip ping the engines.
 "Members of the union asked the bosses what the idea was. They were informed that the entire shop must entire force of 225 men immediately walked out rather than work on the locomotives. After walking out a meeting was held at the Workmen' S Institute, where the strikers elected officers and made plans for the strike"

Governor Is Jeered

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 11.-Trade unionists jeered Governor Kilby when he nobilized state troops "to protect workers as well as property" The governor Is frankly told that his pro fessed interest in the workers is not believed and that he is more liable to be following orders of the Louis vile & Nashville railroad. The work CTS have not forgotten the governors S friendship for the workers" when he agreed to settle the recent strike of Alabama coal miners. The coal own CTS were sustained in every point and the governor also ruled that the owners did not have to re-employ any of the strikers.

efforts The American flag was raised at the tipple. The whistle blew but there was no response from the group of striking miners who viewed the unsuccessful appeal from a nearby hillside.
 Arthur Neale, assistant general manager of the Pittsburgh Coal Com pany; Superintendent White and Dis trict Manager Bradburn donned over alls and assisted the few strikebreak- CTS sent down into the gaping depths, in loading one car of coal.
 ,Neale claimed the mine was operat- ing with 25 strikebreakers, and that the next day would witness arrival of many more. In reality the next day witnessed departure and not arrival of strikebreakers and operations were suspended, temporarily at least.
 A negro named Mitchell was i'm ported into the region as cook for the strikebreakers. He told pickets for the striking miners he would "cook and not mine coal" But one day Mitchell guarded by one of the mine police, went down into the pit because he said, 'there ain't no strikebreakers to cook for and they sent me down to dig coal"

I like to tell about the time I was licked i'll strike at Bridgeport It has been a laugh and a lesson ever since.
 Eighteen hundred employees of the Salts Textile Company of Bridgeport, Conn.,, struck for higher wages in 1oI6. Being unorganized, they had been getting starvation wages, al though wages in surrounding states were higher and the mills were mak- ing excellent profits. Their patience at last was exhausted. 1 was sent down to organize them. After six or seven weeks we knew that we had beaten the operators. Tie union or ganization was responsible for the victory, but as usual in a situation of that kind the operators didn't want to recognize the union and wouldn't deal with the leaders, including my self. We sat tight.
 On the last day of the strike from 500 to GOO pickets were with me out side the gates of the textile mill when 200 men, strangers picked up in New Haven marched down the street to- ward the gates guarded by a platoon of police in front and a platoon be- hind. Strikebreakers! was the rumor Our men were excited. The gates opened and the parade filed through The gates remained open-and our men surged in. In spite of protests, prompted partly by a desire to avoid violence and prejudice our cause, was left outside with a corporal's guard. Then the gates closed.
 Meantime the 200 men, accom- panied by the police, marched through the mill grounds, out through rear

Terre Haute, Ind, Aug. II.-Im- peachment for Governor Warren T. McCray for his action in sending troops into the coa lfeld here was demanded by a mass meeting of strik- ing miners and union labor men here yesterday following a demonstration on the streets when more than 4,ooo men staged protest parade.
 The parade was made up of miners, striking railway shopmen and mem bers of unions not on strike.

15o Working Where 4,ooo Used to
 Work.

In Greene county it is reported that there are about I5o men working in 14 mines which in normal peace times employed about 4,ooo skilled miners. No movements of coal have been re- ported from there.
 Not more than Go or 70 men are working in all the mines in Washing ton county, according to best avail able information. From Fayette county, in which there are several big non-union mines, little information is at hand on the number of men work ing but it is considerably larger than in either Greene or Washington counties.

Southwestern Pennsylvania is look ed upon as the pivotal ground in the strike-bound coal fields. Dominated by the Pittsburgh Coal Company, which controls approximately 60 per cent. of the mines in the district, op- orators are making every possible eff fort to reopen the ptis in the belief that normal production added to the production of the non-union mines in West Virginia would break the back bone of the organized miners and put the United Mine Workers to rout.
 To date, despite frantic efforts to import strikebreakers in sufficient numbers to successfully man the mines and in face of fruitless demands to union striking miners to return to work, their attempts are a hZZle.
 Less than 500 tons of coal resulted from the first weeks re-opening at tempts and reliable information dis closes that most of that quantity was cut before the suspension became ef- fective April I.
 Flag Up, Troops Guard, But No

 The first mine in which operations were attempted was the Montour Mine No. of the Pittsburgh Coal Company at Hills Station. Cavalry men, augmented by state police, spe cial deputy sheriffs and the coal and iron police, attended the re-opening
