Cliftonvillc March.
The 1922 strike was featured by
another march of the miners in West
Virginia. The Richland (scab) Coal
Co. took over the formerly unionized
Cliftonville mine, evicted all union
lists, and imported strikebreakers.
The imported gunner, deputised by
Sheriff H. H. Duvall, fired on the
evicted miners.
On the night of July 16, 1922,
about 900 strikers from Avella, Pa,
end vicinity, marched over the bor-
der to mass picket at Cliftonville,
Brook County, West Virginia. The
towns are not far apart, but the
state border runs between.
The Sheriff and his gunner were
ambushed in the mine shacks and
houses around the tipple. The miners
stood little way off, not wishing
to enter fight. Seven scabs were
driven forward by the mine guards,
to march past the miners toward the
tipple. An old, gray haired, coal
miner, followed by a few younger
men, approached, unarmed, to argue
with the scabs. As soon as they
came into the level, away from the
protecting rocks on the hillside, the
deputies opened fire, killed the old

The fight was on, and the miners

county seat, and attacked the miners
from the rear; they were checked
with rifle fire, the miners continued
to fight, on two fronts.

While the peace of unionism pre-
vailed in the 100 per cent union
coal fields of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana,
ETC., and the peace of slavery en-
dured in the 100 per cent non-union
coal fields of the South Except
during big strikes, of course) there
has not been for the last q years
any peace in the no-man's land of
West Virginia on the border be-
tween unionism and serfdom. There
will not be in the future, either,
for the new militant miners union
is already disputing with the rob-
Der barons of "Bloody Mingo" and
Logan counties the victories they
consolidated after the Lewis be-
trayal of the coal strife of 1928.
In 1902, the Baldwin-Felts detec-
tive company got its first really big
job, and for 100000 guaranteed to
break the strike. 1t began then to
build its great army of thousands of
mercenary killers, which has ruled
for the coal barons, Mercer, Nc
Dowell, Wyoming and Mingo coun-
ties from it's general headquarters
at Bluefields.
In Logan county, and usually on
the best of terms with the Baldwin
Felts officers, Don Chafin served the
coal companies for years as county
clerk, and engaged i'll good natured
rivalry with the Baldwin-Felt aces
at the sport of killing miners. Chat
in, at the age of 35 could prove he
had a record of IL miners. That
was about the time of the Logan
march. He had been tried once, for
killing a 17-year-old boy, but was
acquitted because he brought wit
nesses to testify that he was at the
time trying to kill Bob Slater, a
U. S. marshal, and hit the boy by
accident.
Long List of Killed.
The story of the massacre at Holly
Grove, already told, indicates the
general method and technique of the
Baldwin-Felts troopers during a
strike, but in between strikes they
kept their craftsmanship in practice,

over 600 miners were wounded in
West Virginia and 81 murdered by
mine guards.
From 1902 to 1922, Kanawha
county and part of Boone were or
ganized. The first armed march in
West Virginia was in March, 1919,
when 5000 miners from these
counties started for Logan to stop
the reign of terror of Baldwin elts.
Frank Keeney, president Of District
II, of the United Mine Workers, ac-
companied by the governor of the
state, stopped. the marcners and sent
them back, by promising there would

Political Action.
In Mingo county the miners had
elected a few officers who were not
part of the coal operators machine:
Sheriff Blankenship, Mayor Teste-
man of Matewan, and Sid Hatfield,
chief of police of Matewan. These
men were in no sense class conscious,
they just didn't represent the coal
companies, and stood for "the con-

ing at Mohawk, in Mcdowell county,
one in which he could easily prove
an alibi. Hatfield's young wife
urged him not to go to trial, but he
relied on tn epromise of sole conduct
given him by cousin of his, Bill
Hatfield, high sheriff of Mcdowell,
and on July 81, 1921, walked up the
court house steps at WEIGH, county
seat of Mcdowell, with his wife, a
friend, Ed Chambers, and Chambers
wife.
The Baldwin-Felts men were in
ambush in the courthouse itself.
They stepped to the door and start
ed shooting before Hatfield or
Chambers below them on the steps,
had a chance to draw. One, named
Lively, fired only at Chambers, the
other seven concentrated on Hat
field.
Hatfield's wife rushed through the
line of fire into the courthouse to
get Sid's relative, the high sheriff
of Mcdowell who had promised
them safe conduct. The high sheriff
was away; he was more class con-
scious than Sid, and he knew that
these romantic notions of family
| loyalty didn't count in the class war,
in which he fought for the coal
operators.
All the murderers were arrested,
and Immediately released on low
bail, never to come to trial.
The Logan March.
Thousands of miners were at Hat
fields funeral; they went home to
organize the Logan county march.
= Six thousand armed miners as
semble at Marmet, 100 miles from
Mingo county during August, and
started on August "a towards
Mingo. On August 26, at Madison,
Boone County, they were met by
District President Frank Keeney,
who ordered them back. They started
back. But just then, 400 Baldwin
Felts men raided Sharples, II miles
away, killed two miners, wounded
two, and captured a prisoners.
The miners then, reinforced by
about 1000 more who had followed
the first 5000, continued their
march over Keeney's protest. They
had wasted two days on account of
Keeney, and these two days in the
end, were fatal to the U. M. w. A.,
for it lost West Virginia to the or
ganization. If they had moved
faster, they would undoubtedly have
crashed into and organized all
southern West Virginia, and the
1922 strike would have been i'm
measurably harded for Lewis to be-
tray.
The Baldwin-Felts army was, dur
ing that two days, increased by
1000 gunner deputised by Sheriff
Bill Hatfield, about a thousand
Legionaires and business men, and
1000 conscripts gathered in Logan
county. 1t was as large as the
miners and had an abundance of
machine gur-, which were placed on
a fortified line across the passes in
Logan country. Two airplanes flew
over the miners to scout out their
movements for the coal companies.
Federal. troops were sent for.
The battle lasted about week, on
fifteen mile front with a total of
10000 men involved, the largest bat
tie in America since the civil war
days.
