Miners Are Firm.
Charles II. Bailey, Fairmont,
International representative, said
today that the miners were US firm
as ever and that production loop
holes were Just as tight as any
time since April l, when the gen.
cral suspension began. In some
cases Mr., Bailey said operators
were securing laborers from out
side the ranks Of the United Mine
Workers Of America and loading
from slack and stock piles. These
arc counted by the railroads as
cars loaded, and yet they do not
mean increased production because
the coal was actually mined before
the strike began. Here and there.
Mr.. Bailey said, effort was made
TO work non.union by exporting
strike breakers, but even in the
instances where non.union mines
are trying 1t, like the plants OF the
Penn Mary Coal Co. along the NJ.
& X. Railway, which never recog-
nized the union, their efforts are
only with limited success. He in.
timated that men work a while
and later quit, so that it is an up
and down proposition, which
changes practically all the time.
