Washington. d. {. Oct. 20.-lnvesti-
cation by the Children's Bureau Of
the United States Department Of
Labor again direct sattention 10 the
uncomfortable and inSanitarv houses
in which miners in many sections are
forced TO live.
Apparently the mine owners believe
that any kind of dwelling. even II il
lacks every requirement of a decent
house. is good enough for miner. In
vestigators of the Children's Bureau
who made a study of conditions af-
feeting children in the soft coal dis
triets of Raleigh County, West Nir-
ginia. found that usually the only
houses TO be had in mine towns belong
TO the mining companies and the
miners families must rent and live in
them whether they like them or not.
Houses Little Better Than Shacks.
More than nine-tenths of the fam
lilies interviewed by the Bureaus
agents lived in houses rented from the
companies. The investigators, in their
report on the houses, say:
when not absolutely alike in every
detail, as whole lanes of them often
were, the miners houses were built on
the same general plan--detached or
semi-detached one or two-story struc-
lures, containing usually three or four
rooms. They were invariably of wood,
some being clapboarded, others of up
right boards with or without weather
stripping; erected without cellars,
they stood usually on piles, in many
cases with an open space beneath.
Most of them were generally lack
ing in the essentials of comfortable
dwelling; rooms were small and few
in number; they were inconvenlent.
insantary, ill-ventilated, and cold.
AS the houses were built of the
cheapest material, usually not wealth
erboarded, and in many cases not
plastered or even ceiled, the fireplaces
which as a rule were the only means
of heating besides the cookstove could
not keep them comfortably warm.
Some were said to be like paper
when the wind struck them. The oc-
cupants of a number of the houses
had tackled newspapers or old maya
zine covers over the rough board
samples of wall paper-in order to
keep out the cold. The flooring was
often only a single layer of boards,
sometimes with cracks an inch or
more wide. placed over open founda-
tons through which the cold air cir
culated freely. Knot holes and cracks
in the wall were not uncommon.
Not infrequently the houses were
damp as we'll as cold, as they were
built close to the ground and the
space beneath the house was not al
ways kept dry; water from nearby
spring ran under one house. The
open foundation also offered refuge
for animals, from which vermin and
unhealthful odors easily entered the
house. Many families found ii, also,
a convenient place for rubbish Of

SUNDAY LAW is INVOKED -. -
By International Labor News Service.
Cleveland, Tenn, Oct. 17.-Enemies
of organized labor in this district are
finding that union men are not TO De
bluffed into surrendering their rights
as American citizens.
Anti-unionists discovered this when
they tried to use the law to stop the
organizing campaign of the interna-
tional Molders' Union in Cleveland.
This is the story:
Several weeks ago J. j. CYCLIC, one
of the Give wire" organizers OF the
molders' union, arrived in Cleveland
to organize the molders of two plants
here. He made good progress and
the employers, who are bitter foes OF
organized labor, became alarmed.
Evidently they decided to use the law
as weapon against the unionlsts,
Judging from the action taken at a
Sunday meeting of molders addressed
by CYCLIC.
The meeting had just been started
when the sheriff appeared and or
dered that the men dispense. Glgllo
told the officer that he had no night
to interfere with the meeting and the
sheriff withdrew, only to reappear
few minutes later with a warrant for
Giglio's arrest on a charge of violat-
ing an archaic law prohibiting the
holding of weekday activities on sun
days. . ~
found that il did not name him as the
alleged breaker of the law. He called
The sberifF's attention to this omis-
sion and the sheriff again left, only
10 reappear a second time with tne
warrant correctly made out. diglo
then submitted TO arrest and was
taken before a local magistrate. ..
When the hearing was held, Glglio
conducted his own defense, Inc
prosecuting attorney, who Is known
to be connected with the Hard"lek
interests. which control the plnats IN
Cleveland employing molders, ap-
neared against him. Despite an able
presentation of the right Of citizens
10 assemble peaceably on Sunday OF
anv other day, CYCLIC was adludged
guilty and was fined SO.
GigIio refused to pay the hne ana
tho Judge said he could do nothing
ahout the matter, as the sheriff was
charged with the duty Of collecting
fines. CYCLIC started to leave The
courtroom, when he saw the shenh
Standing near the door and walking
over to him. He told him he mad re-
fused to pay the fine and asked the
sheriff what ne was going 70 DO aDoIt
II. The sheriff replied that he couldn't
lock CYCLIC up and as the organizer
had no property in Cleveland, ne
could not make a levy for the collee-
ton of the fine. There the matter
rested and CYCLIC left the court.
No attempts have been made to
collect the fine and work of organic
inc the molders IS still progressing.
4 strike has been called in one plant
and unionism is the burning topic
among Cleveland molders.

DR.. C. G. Harmonson was toast

say of the cordial relations that had
existed between him and the men of
Smyrna-Clayton community and of
their regret in losing him. Prof. CIV.
W.Schantz, superintendent of Smyrna
Schools, on behalf of the company
present, presented DR.. Alexander with

spOnded feelingly of his association

ways be reminder of his short seven
years happy residence among them.

fered and unanimously passed: "Be it
Resolved: That we, neighbors and
friends of the Smyrna and Clayton
vicinity, holding Doctor G. L. AL
exander in highest esteem as a citi-
zen, member of his chosen profess
/ sion, and as a man; who, by his
courtesy, general demeanor and con-
duct, has proven himself worthy of
our sincere regard, admiration, and
appreciation of his ability as a Medi-
cal Examiner for the Pennsylvania
Railroad during the past seven years
that he has been located at Clayton
Delaware. And be it further resolved
that our best wishes and kindest per
sonal regards go with Doctor Alex
ander, and his family, in his new felC
of endeavor, and that he may affair
the greatest success and happiness, i!
our fervent wish and prayer"
