!. INTERNAL FIGHT
Committee Named to Settle
Miners Row With Rail
Brotherhood.

The American Federation of Labor
today stepped definitely into the dis
pute between the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers and the United
Mine Workers OF America regarding
operation of the brotherhood coal
mines along the Coal River. in west
Virginia, the scene for months OF a
peculiar tangIe. in which one labor
organization, as an employer, was
allied against the other, representing
employees. President Green OF the feo-
Grafton announced appointment OF
committee of three, consisting OF Sec
retary Frank Morrison and Vice
Presidents Martin F. Ryan and James
P. Noonan, to meet and treat with
Grand Chief Warren S. Stone or the
brotherhood.
Incidentally. this marks the first
attack of the current problems facing
President Green in his new office.
The action is pursuant to a resolu-
tion adopted at the FL Paso conven-
tion of the Federation last Fall which
declared that the Coal River col
lieries, operating in West Virginia
and Kentucky, had discharged mem
bers of the mine workers for exer-
cising their constitutional rights or
affiliating with the union of their
craft"
Settlement Sought.
The convention went on record as
believing the company was following
in general the policies of the nom
union operators of West Virginia.
and authorized the executive council
TO be instructed "to exercise its good
offices to secure a settlement"
The executive council IN turn dele
gated President Gompers to o'take up
this question, but the death of Com
pers prevented him from meeting
with Grand Chief Stone. This au-
thority descended to Mr.. Green, the
former secretary treasurer of the
mine workers, which was one of the
parties at interest, and Mr.. Green has
elected to step out of the ticklish po-
stion by authorizing this committee
of three to act as his agent.
While no definite date for the
meeting between the committee and
Mr.. Stone has been announced, it was
stated today that all possible haste
in opening the negotiations is de-
sired.
