Torrance could be repeated second
time with like success.
However, the workers refused to
accept a second wage cut and strike
was declared. Every man walked out
certain of victory and with his mind
set on sticking it out to the end. The
miners of the four above mentioned
mines organized into union and join
cd the U. M. W. Of A., District No. 6
Of the above organization,
The first few days Of the strike the
coal companies refused to admit that
strike was in progress and gave vari-
Gus reasons for the CESSATION Of oper-
atoms at the mines, stating that a
good percentage Of the miners were
working (when scarcely one worker
was in the mine) thus hoping to in
veigle the strikers into going back to
work at cut prices. But their efforts
met with failure.
The Clash At Glendale
On April 10, 1928 a number OF
strikers, their wives, and children sur
rounded the home of a strike breaker,
Robert Crow, who was employed at
the Glendale Coal Mine, Glendale, w.
Va, a town about two miles from
Moundsville. Perhaps they were hop
ing to demonstrate with the man and
persuade him to quit working, or per
haps to brighten him into doing it.
Some Of the crowd began to hurl
small stones at the company house in
which the scab lived, whereupon the
latter seized his gun and began firing
at the people He succeeded in i'm
planting a bullet in the head Of one
Of the strikers, Samichow by name,
and the man is yet in critical condi-
ton.
Twenty Strike PIekets Jailed
OF course, police arrived upon the
scene and succeeded in arresting 20
strikers, 10 men and enc woman, and
Immediately lodged them in the coun-
ty jail. They were put under a thous-
and dollar bond each.
The authorities are always ready to
take sides against the workers in any
outbreak but never against the scabs
who are aiding in lowering the already
tOo-low wages, thus by this act re-
ducing the standards or living Of the
workers, which results, as we all
know, in the children growing up with
out proper food and clothing and edu-
cation, some Of them turning into
criminals. The officers Of the '1aw'' in
reality promote future law breaking.
No Charge Against Scab
The men and woman arrested are
held under the Redman Act, on the
charge of intending to willfully des-
troy property and intent to do bodily
harm. On May 4, 1925 they were in.
dicted by the grand jury, at the coun-
ty court house, in this city. Robert
Crow, the scab who shot Samichow, is
, reported held in the county Jail but
no charge as yet has been entered
against him.
The result of all this was that state
police are stationed here. Anybody
who has observed conditions when
military rule is in force knows what
chances the miners have of winning

Glendale Mine, in fact about 40 or so

On another page Of this paper ap-
pears the announcement Of the open
ing of a new bank in Plentywood to
be known as the The Farmers and

The new banking Institution is in
reality a removal of the Redstone
State Bank to this city, where the
owners of that bank eel they will
have an opportunity flor more busi-
ness and a larger field for develop
ment.
With the large crop last fall and
general prosperous conditions in

conclusion that another banking insti-
tuition would establish itself in this
city, and the stockholders of the
Redstone State Bank have taken hold
of this opportunity and in a few
days will have the new banking in
stitution open to the public.
A report of the financial condition
of the Redstone bank is given by
Cashier Bull and the new bank will
ask the patronage of the public be-
cause of the financial standing and
