efs work, and the dangers at
tending their employment.
Working Conditions Bad
Many Of the anthracite mines are
old properties, and the working places
have extended a long way from the
bottom of the shaft. The coal seam
in many Of these mines is very low
and running on very stiff pitch.
Many places at the face are wet and
the disagreableness and handicap of
the miners under those circumstances
can be readily imagined.
The miners cannot work standing up
in those low mines but have to crawl
on their hands and knees and some
times lay fiat on their belly. In this
cramped position, they have to shovel
coal for eight hours, with the water
continuously dripping on them, AT
the end Of their eight hour shift the
miners find themselves totally ex-
hausted.
500 Killed, 10000 Injured Last Year
Many are the dangers encountered
in the anthracite mines, as the OH
cial records show many fatal and
serious accidents. Last year alone i've

THOMPSON, WATT
SCORE TREASON
OF OFFICIALS
Mass Meeting in ZeigIer
Protest Prosecution

zElGLER, H., Sept. L. Freeman
Thompson and John Watt, deposed
officials Of the Springfield sub-dlstrict
Of the miners union, addressed a
large mass meeting in zeigIer called
to protest against the prosecution Of
10 zeigler miners charged with
conspiracy 10 murder. The meeting
was held pdef the auspices Of the
miners defense committee recently
organized In Franklin county to de-
fend the arrested zeIgIer miners.
Thompson and Watt scored the trea-
son Of the officials Of Sub-district 9,
Franklin county, who were respon-
sible for the arrests. A fight in the
union hall'in zeigler, after the officers
of Local 992, President Henry Corbish-
ley and others, had been deposed by
the sub-district oficials, resulted in
the murder of miner, Mike Sara
vich, Corbishley supporter, and the
injury of number Of others among
whom was sub-district (yice-President
D. B. Cobb. 1t was Cobb who swore
out the warrants charging Corbishley
and the leading miners of Local 992
with conspiracy to assassinate him.
officials Desperate.
Thompson and Watt pointed out
that the real reason for the criminal
charges IS a desperate effort on the
part of the sub-district to remove
the progressive leaders of Local 992
from the picture. These men have
constantly challenged the leadership
of the sub-district officers and accused
them of corruption, class-collaboration
and election fraud.
Practically every local union in the
county is in sympathy with the Zeig-
Ter miners and in each of them de-

members into submission. In spite of
his assertion that the entire member

troversy to referendum of the mem

impartial committee.
THE peace proposals of the Inter

any way offer reforms that will help
to alleviate the present situation. Mr..
Sigman proposes new election of

Joint Board. However, he prohibits
both the suspended officers and those
who were recently elected IN their
places, from running for ONCE. This
proposal is neither just nor constitu-
tional One can readily understand
why Mr., Sigman would deny the sus-
pended officers the right to run in the
future election. We have continu-
ously fought his policies in the union
and are regarded as his enemies. But
why deny this right to the recently
elected officers? Mr. Sigman is in err

makers are appeased when others are
also denied their democratic privi-

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. s.
Trade in cattle opened slowly but
later became fairly active. Prices
were about the same as late last week,
though there were spots, both above
and below last weeks average. In a
general way killers are beginning to
broaden their inquiry for fat steers,
and there is fairly good shipping
demand. The hog market last week
closed in the highest position of the
season. Today there was a moderate
decline. The setback is regarded as
only temporary. Sheep and lamb
prices were up 25 cents, with renewed
activity in the trade.
