STATE POLICE CONTROL
TOWN IN MINERS RIOTS
Take Charge After Pitched Battle
in Brady, W Va.-Four Union
Men Arrested.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. June 90
Fifteen members of the West Vir-
ginia state police, in charge of Lieut.
Hobart A Brown, have been placed
in charge of the situation at Brady,
a mining village near here, where a
pitched battle occurred early yester-
day between mine guards and force
of unknown men, in which one man
was wounded and the union hall
burned. The detachment of state
police was assigned to Brady last
night after an appeal had been made
by Prosecutor r. P: Posten to Jack
son Arnold. superintendent of the
state department of public welfare.
Four union men arrested after the
fighting told Sheriff w. NJ. fost they
were union miners, who had refused
to work when the Brady-Warner Coal
Company, which operates the mine,
did not sign a wage agreement and
started operating the mine upon a
non-union basis under the 1917 scale.
Samuel D. Brady of Fairmont, presi-
dent of the operating company. in a
statement, declared I'VE propose to
operate the mine at all hazards" add
ing that the Constitution ,"gives the
company the right to enjoy its prop
erty and to operate as long as the
plan is within the law"
Headquarters Of the mine union at
Fairmont disclaimed any knowledge
of the outbreak, and the men arrested
declared they were spectators at
tracted to the scene by the firing.

They will probably unite in favor
of the planks in the platform ad-

are not members of federated WON
ans organizations. A definite stand
on world peace, a bone-dry plank, a
vigorous expression on child labor

in the cabinet will be the practically
unanimous demands of the woman
