CALDWELL, Ohio, May lO.--Feeling
ran high in the Noble County mining
district today as Sheriff Baron Schaefer
and force Of deputies sought to serve
nearly score of affidavits charging
union miner sympathiZers with riot,ng
and violation of inJunctions in connec-
ton with last nights disturbance at
Coal Ridge.
Fear OF further trouble was admitted
by authorities, who said the recent re-
opening OF several mines on a nom
union basis had greatly increased feel
ing against operators and non union
workmen.
Promise OF arrests by Sheriff Schaefer
resulted from pelting OF three buses
carrying norl-union miners to their
homes from work at Coal Ridge last
night. A crowd Of $50 union SYM
pathizers hurled bricks stones and 9TH
er missiles. Quick arrival by the sheriff
and Col. Christy, National Guard OBJ
server. was credited with preventing
more serious trouble.
Road Meeting Cited.
Gathering OF union sympathizers along
Federal highway between Caldwell
and the Guernsey County line. In vio-
latlon Of recent injunctions granted in
Common Pleas Court here. also was re-
ported to the sheriff.
In the Hooking Valley district, con-
fiiCting opinions were held by principals
In yesterdays mass meeting whether
strength OF the union had been affected.
Lee Hall, State president. and George
Savage, State secretary treasurer, said
the meeting, attended by 5000 miners,
definitely indicated that miners In the
Hooking valley will stand behind the
union and fight for wage scale finally
agreed upon by the United Mine Work
ers."
Oral Daugherty, deposed as president
of the Hooking Valley subdiStrict be-
cause of "disloyalty and insubordina-
tion," was unable to see where the
union officials had enlisted any strong
er support from the hungry men of the
valley"
Urges Truce.
Feeling In the Hooking Valley today
Is the bitterest II has been since the
strike started. and 1t will be difficult
to offer promises any longer where
bread Is needed" Daugherty said In
commenting upon the gathering, which
he was called upon to address by pop
ular acclaim of his former constituents.
For two hours and one-half the as
sembled miners attentively listened TO
Hall, Savage and Phillip Murray, IN
ternational vice president of the Miners
Union. before they forced Murray TO
stop and placed Daugherty on the
speakers stand.
Two airplanes swooped down over
the stand and dropped thousands Of
hand bills, lauding Deugherty and dis
crediting officials of the mine union.
Daugherty urged the operators and
miners to call q truce in the present
strike, agree upon q wage scale upon a
sound economic basis that would hold
until Government regulation Is made
possible. He expressed faith in the Sem
ate coal investigating committee to rec
oninend legislation that would fix the
wage scale fairly. but insisted that the
miners should not starve while they
wait for Government regulation"
Daugherty put an end TO reports
that he would form separate Union orr
ganization 10 60 back to work In the
mines, declaring II viii carry on my
fight within the United Mine Workers. :"
