for the Southern Mining Co. which owns the
insult mine In Harlan County.
The only witnesses the prosecution had were
coal operators law officers They did not dare
call a single miner or miners wife against the
three men and six women organizers who had
gone to Pineville to help win the strike
And when the defense put witnesses on the
stand, attorney Smith did everything possible
to prevent their testifyng and did not dare cross
question the men and women eager to speak
for the National Miners Union, the Workers
International Relief and the International Labor
Defense.
One National Miners Union member, the first
man witness, he did cross question and immedia-
tely had him arrested saying: You are probably
wanted by the law"
Judge Van Beber hardly listened to the three
defendants who took the stand. vern Smith,
Norma Martin and Ann Barton. who exposed
the arrests of the organizers as attempts of the
coal operators to hurt the strike He quickly
shut up the miners wives who testified, saying:
"Im tired of all this foolishness"
But he smiled and listened attentivey to his
masters voice, when Attorney Smith denounced
the union, denounced the Workers International
Relief and the International Labor Defense and
denounced the literature found as filthy, Shiny
and insidious. He smiled at the vicious attacks
made on the defendants and their lawyers by
Smith.
Coal operators Attorney Smith In his con-
Guiding remarks read from the International La
Dor Defense pamphlet Workers Self Defense
in Court; What to Do When Arrested He read
that workers by mass protest should demand
the release Of class war prisoners. This is Just
what has been done here" he shouted, and he
read further that the court room should be used
by workers to expose the courts and law as part
Of the capitalist offensive against the working
class. This seemed to make Mr. Smith very
angry. This is what these defendants tried to
do here" he shouted And for once, Mr.. Smith,
coal operators lawyer was right
The whole procedure of the hearing of the
nine defendants charged with criminal syndi-
calism was heard was a perfect example of
class justice. 1t was clash Of the two classes;
on the one hand, the capitalist class-the coal
operators. the Judge, the county attorney. the
law and the officials Of the United Mine Workers
Of America; and on the other, the working class
the miners.

How the Coal Operators Run
the Courts

in the Glendon, Cary and Liberty mines Of
Straight Creek, at first suave and smooth, trying
to give the impression this would be flair"
hearing, became increasingly vicious as the
hearing continued
Judge Van Beber formerly with interests in
the Wagon Mine near Straight Creek, and who
also worked for the Log Mountain Coal Co., sat
stolid and bored. He made no move, and made no
statement that not first dictated to him
by the coal operators attorneys, Patterson or
Smith.
Several times when lawyers for the defense
made objections, Mr.. Smith, without waiting
for the judge announced foverruled by the
Judge"
When Prosecuting Attorney Smith called the
defendants yellow ours" and called the Inter
national Labor Defense lawyers Bentall and
Taub, "cattle," when prosecuting attorney for
the coal operators, Smith, said "The electric
chair is too good for these defendants. They
should be lined up against the wall and shot"
the coal operators Judge Van Beber, said no
thing to Smith, but bawIed out Bentan and Taub
for protesting.
The close link-up between the Judge, the
county attorney, the law, the coal operators and
the United Mine Workers of America was so
clear, that no miner in the court room missed 1t.
Bosses Like UMWA.
Patterson, coal operators lawyer, admitted
in open court that the coal operators would like
the miners to join the United Mine Workers of
America. On surprise question by International
Labor Defense attorney Bentall who asked him
If he didn't think the miners should have better
conditions and union, Mr. Patterson answered:
Eyes. We would like them to have union-the

The few miners who were able to get into the
Pineville court room when the hearing took place
of the nine organizers of the National Miners
Union, the International Labor Defense and the
Workers International Relief, charged with cri-
minal syndicalsm, got a clear and undiIuted
example Of class justice. The decision to hold
them over for the Grand Jury under heavy bail
was made before court opened.
On January LIST thousands Of miners Of Bell
and Harlan County Kentucky, and from Tenne-
ssee, went on strike under the leadership of the
National Miners Union. On January nine
organizers who came into Pineville to help in
the strike activities were arrested. The hearing
was postponed three times because of the protest
meetings and the picketing of the Pineville Jail
by from five to ten thousand miners on three
different days The coal operators court preferred
to hold court when so many miners were not in
town.
on the two days of the hearing every effort
was made to keep all miners and their wives
out of the court room. The miners got there as
soon as the doors opened and took their seats
They were told they would have to go into an
other room to be searched; they went out and
then were not allowed back in.

John TempIeton Fails to
Attend Meeting at
Lewis Office.

The joint wage scale conference
Of coal operators and miners of In
diana and Illinois opened this aft
ernoon in the Office of John l.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, like a three
handed bridge game.
The vacant chair at the meet
ing, or dummy, represented the fail
ure of John Templeton, president of
the Indiana operators, to send dele
gates to the meeting.
Lewis, as the meeting opened,
refused to comment on the posi-
bility of 81 wage scale for miners
of Districts IL and II being the
outcome of the meeting.
Despite the refusal of Templeton
to attend the session, which lifted
it from bi-state meeting to one
almost exclusively for District -
in Illinois, Lewis would not post
pone the conference.
II have nothing to say about the
conference until it is over. I'll have
statement at its conclusion. I'll
talk about anything else, even the
weather. I'm trying to be courte-
Gus" the head of the mine work
ers said shortly before he called the
session to order.
The Indiana miners were repre-
sented by Abe Wales, president of
District II, and John Suttle, secre-
tary.
Illinois miners were headed by
John H. Walker, president Of the
district.
Walker refused to discuss the pos
sibility of an agreed wage scale. 1t
is known that the Illinois miners
contemplate revolt from the pro-
posed $4-a-day scale said to be &C
ceptable to the Lewis faction among
the Indiana workers.
But hope that a scale of SIS a
day as a compromise between the
old scale of $3.50 and 81 was
dropped with failure of Indiana
operators to participate in the joint
meeting of the two state union
organizations.

HOPES IMPROVE
FOR Enactment
OF JOBLESS AID
Senate Decision Not to
Adjourn Saturday
Helps Chance.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Aban-
donment by the senate Of its inten-
ton to adjourn Saturday has great
ly increased the possibility that I'M
employment relief legislation will
be enacted before congress quits.
An effort Tuesday night on the
part of opponents Of the $4,000 000,-
900 relief bill to force night sessions,
until the senate should stop in ex-
haustion, was defeated by a sub
stantial majority. Then the Demo-
cratic authors Of the bill renounced
their personal desire to attend their
national convention, and said they
felt relief legislation had a better
chance of enactment If written de-
liberately.
However, efforts to get the relief
bill finished in the senate as soon
as possible will continue today in
order that the work Of reconciling
senate and house legislation in con-
ference may get under way quickly.
Major Fights Remain
Two major fights remain. the first
over public works and the second
over leans to private corporations.
An attempt will be made to increase
the public works provision of the
bill to $500. 100000, and another
to take it out entirely. Sometime
today an attempt will be made to
agree on a time to vote on these
issues.
According to present plans, Sem
ator Robert F. Wagner Dem, N.
", will restore to his construction
loan bill the $500, 100000 emergency
hunger relief provisions originally
contained in it, but passed separate
ly two weeks ago, in the hope that
it could be enacted at once.
The bill has remained in the
house banking and currency COM
mittee ever since, and Speaker Gar
ner, on his return TO the house
Tuesday after an illness, indicated
his unwillingNess to have it acted
upon separately.
Get Grave warnings
Those who fear that President
Hoover might veto an unemploy-
ment bill containing public works
provisions will support the move to
recombine the bills, feeling that the
President can not refuse to sign a
measure containing hunger relief
funds, in the face of grave warn
ings of impending violence.
Mayor Cermak of Chicago and
Representative Fred Britten Dem.
Ill) told the house committee Tues
day that unless relief is given Chi
cago by the federal government.
federal troops will have to be sent
there to preserve order.
Determination on the part of both
senate and house members to re-
main in session a sufficient time.
after final passage of the relief bill,
TO pass it again If necessary over
a presidential veto was growing to-
day.
The economy conference report
threatens to provoke considerable
debate, and the conferees on five
other appropriation bills are still
in disagreement.
