trict 81, and that their failure to dis.
cipline union miners participating II
the strike, or repudiate alleged unlaw.
full acts OF their members, did not
make the national organization Liable
under the Sheramn law.
The Responsibility
The coal companies asserted that the
national organization and none of its
branches at no time took any action
10 expel. suspend or discipline any OF
it's Officers or members. although It's
national treasury had paid the counsel
fees Of union members who confesser
their participation IN unlawful acts"
when criminally prosecuted, the fines
imposed. and extended union benefits to
those imprisoned. This constituted,
the mine owners insisted. a recognition
by the United Mine Workers Of the or
ganization's responsibility for the acts
Of it's members during the strike.
The BaChe-Denman Company and
eight subsidiaries. five Of them operat-
Ing companies, closely allied by cor
porate ownership. all located in Prairie
Creek Valley Arkansas, had a group Of
mines In Arkansas which had been OPP
Grated as union mines until March,
1914, when two Of them were closed
temporarily, preparatory to reopening
with non-union labor. The Cornado
mine had a contract with Union labor
which did not expire until the following
July. but two days after one Of the two
closed mines opened with non-union
miners in April. the union workm,r in
the Coronado mine struck. Disorders
and violence Immediately followed,
compelling all the mines to close, q
banner being erected bearing the In
scriptIon: This is Union Mans
Country"
Work was resumed under an fnjunc-
ton. and there was no further trouble
until the night Of July 16, when an
armed mob surrounded the non-union
mines. The mine owners charged that
the rifles and ammunition were pur-
chased by the secretary Of District
No. 81. upon a check signed by the
president OF the union. At daybreak
one Of the mines was attacked several
of It's employees killed. others driven
away. the mine dynamited and flooded,
buildings destroyed, and railroad car
loaded with coal bill for shipment to
Louisiana, burned. Attacks upon other
mines, including the Coronado. followed.
It was not until October that further
attempts. which also proved unsuccess-
full. were made to operate the mines.
In November Federal troops arrived. In
the meantime the leases Of the coal
companies had ben cancelled and q re-
celver appointed.

Circuit. and in the same court, on sec
ond trial, before different Federal
! Judge. the jury found that the destruc-
| ton OF the mine property was due to

at these meetings. 1t was said, to for
mulatc n policy for reducing the COM
petition. and announced that the nom

This decision by the United Mine
Workers constituted a conspiracy, It
was charged, which became unlawful
when the acts of the labor leaders to
suppress rpOn-union competition failed
to unionlze the mines. and resulted in
acts OF violence which caused a re-
stratnt OF Interstate commerce.
Exemption Claimed
Onion leaders throughout the jro-
oeedingS asserted that labor unions
had been declared by the Clayton act TO
be exempt from prosecution as Illegal
combinations or conspiracics in re-
strain "r 'rade." They insisted that It
was legitimate for them to remove non
union competition when possible by
strikes aimed to extend their organiza-
ton. IF they had ben guilty In 1914
Of an unlawful conspiracy under the
Sherman law. thesuit against them had
