A few years later the British

Union leaders have called on their
people to maintain the best of or

president of the Mine Workers today.
I'VE are urging the miners to be
peaceable and to have lawful respect
for constituted authority"
Murray has filed with Ralph b.
Urmy of the Pittsburgh Council OF
Churches, specific charges of alleged
immoral conditions in the mining
camps of the Pittsburgh Coal Co. This
was in substantiation of charges made
by Ellis Searles, editor of the United
Mine Workers Journal. The Pitts
burgh Coal Co. is operated on a non
union basis, and it is acknowledged by
both sides that an effort to break down
non-union operations of this company
will be the first move of the miners
in Pennsylvania. Undoubtedly strong
efforts will be made to get West Vir-
ginia miners out, but these are not ex-
pected to be very successful.
