MOTHER OF Il IS
WANTONLY Slain
BY SCAD TRUCK
Penn. Coal TOwn Scene
of Tragedy
81 a Worker corresp0ndent

LIBRARY, Pa, Dec. 11.-A striking
miners wife and mother Of twelve
children was killed and another woman
fatally hurt in this little mining town
when a company truck dashed into a
group Of women. The woman killed
is Mrs. Timka and the woman now in
the hospital with four broken ribs and
broken arms is Mrs. Susie Besek, aged
So. There is very little hope that she
will live. Two deputy sheriffs were
also hurt.
Victims Result Of Wage Cuts.
The mine in this little town owned
and controlled by the Pittsburgh Coal
Co. closed down early last spring.
Recently it was announced that the
mine will be reopened at the 1917
scale. The men refused to accept this
outrageous wage cut, and the com
pany began to import scabs under the
protection of armed guards and depu-
ty sheriffs. Most Of the imported men
were not told that a strike was in
progress and when they learned the
real situation and wanted to leave
the mine they were threatened with
guns and bullets. Despite Of all this,
only few scabs remain at work.
Papers Spread Lies.
As soon as the news Of the killing
spread the capitalist sheets came out
with big headlines that a riot took
place, that the women caused the
driver to lose control over the ma
chine and the women were respon-
sible for the cold blooded murder.
Fifty warrants we're issued for the ar
rest of the wives and mothers Of the
men on strike. The company officials
who are really responsible for the
murder are still at liberty.
The truth Of the matter is that the
truck, carrying provisions to the scabs
who do not dare leave the mines, was
going at high speed, 6O-65 miles an
hour, under the protection of armed
deputy sheriffs. The truck had to
make turn from the. main road to
the road leading to the mine. The
driver, instead Of running at the
right side of the street, turned at the
left and dashed into the group Of wo-
men standing close to the fence. Mrs.
Timka was hit by the wheel and was
knocked down. She died several min
utes later before she could be taken
to a hospital. Mrs. Besek was hit
by the fender and thrown over the
machine. The driver. leaving the vic
Tins in cold blood, began to run away
after the machine upset, but was
stopped by Joseph Hans, who hap
pened to be close by. For this crime"
Hans was severely beaten up next
morning and placed under arrest by
deputy sheriffs. Later he was releas-

Company to Blame.
Yet this rich corporation failed to
establish safety devices and the
sprinkling system to keep down dust
that causes explosions, and as a re-
suit there are 81 dead miners in the
Overton mine, most of them Negroes.
Neither has there been any effort
on the part of the Lewis machine of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea to organize these miners who re-
main unorganized, not because they
prefer it, but because they need the
power of the U. M. w. of A. to sue
coed in establishing the union there.
The whole situation is typical Of
the industrial oppression existing in
the United States. On the board of
directors of the Alabama Fuel and
Iron company is Valentine E. Macy,
New York capitalist. Macy is also
director of the Mechanics and Metals
National Bank. the Union Trust com

LIBRARY, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE word
"seab" is the most desplsed word In
this little town. Even the school

One boy, VIM. Turchle who called

his arm broken by M. Baker, the

the school teacher, then forced the

registration law. DR.. A. A. White.
more, state health officer, announced
today.
Fifteen per cent Of practicing ply
sicians of the state are failing to
turn in birth records in accordance
with the state law, DR.. Whittemore
estimated.
The health department intends to
prosecute negligent physicians in
every county of the state, it was an
nounced. The department will con-
fer with district attorneys and action
will be instituted against offenders
before the end of the month.
"The only way we can secure full
cooperation of North Dakota physi-
clans in recording births is by max
ing an example of offenders in each
county," DR.. Whittemore stated.
Penalty provided for failure to
comply with the state law relating to
birth registration is $50 for the first
offence.
