Charlestown, w. Va, April a.
Two hundred coal miners. most of
them Of sturdy mountaineer stock,
went On trial here today on charges
of murder. treason and lesser crimes
arising from the Logan county mine
war of last summer.
They called themselves crusaders
--"crusaders against the feudal rule
of the West Virginia coal barons';
the prosecution called them trait
ors," "slawers," and 'insurrection-
lists"
At the outset of the days court
proceedings. Attorney Houston. the
prematurefy whitehaired counsel for
the United Mine Workers, proposed
to ask the court to quash certain
indictments and dismiss some of the
cases.
"Treason" Cases First.
The prosecution, apparently, Is
planning to proceed first with the
treason" cases, but so far has re-
fused TO tell the defense what cases
to prepare for. This has angered
the defense, which regards this un-
usual silence as engineered by "op-
orator influence" and designed to
hinder the defense counsel in max
ing ready for the battle.
Practically none of the defense
witnesses had appeared early today
There are many men to come, but
the defense is trying to force the
state to pay their way here.
Outwardly, what is being tried
here is group of miners who en-
gagged in the march on Logan
county" last summer. But beneath
the murder and treason charges Is
a fight for broader consequence to
this state and to the nation as a
whole 1t is life and death. strug-
gle between capital and unionism.
Plan to Bare Secrets.
The miners propose to get into
the court record a tale of what they
call industrial autocracy' and gov
ernment by force"-a story OF an
alleged paid police force and espion-
age system of the operators, which
they contend, stopped free speech
and the right to organize and finally
goaded them into the march on Lo-
gan They ridicule the idea OF
treason, which is defined as levy
ing war on the state"
The prosecution on the other hand
will seek to show these men as
breakers of martial law, who killed
guards without ground.
