Cunning tactics of union miners
In their forays on The Hoosier and
Dixie Bee mines in western In
diana have resulted in virtual victo-
ries for them, despite the fact that
on both occasions they we're scat
tered by national guardsmen.
State authorities held this view
today as they heard more reports of
trouble at the Vermillion mine, and
debated what action could be taken
to halt what may grow into picket
ing of the entire Indiana coal field
Seek to Close Shafts
Authorities believe that the para
mount aim of union miners is to
close all shafts working on a non
union basis In both the Hoosier
and Dixie Bee affairs, they &C
complished their goal, despite the
fact that the nonunion imprisoned
men regarded calling of troops to
rescue them a victory for their side.
When nonunion workers at the
Vcrmillion mine, near Clinton, were
prevented from going to work,
authorities recalled that, after the
Dixie Bee affair, picketers were
heard to say:
The Vermillion mine next"
They also recalled that when the
pickets left the Hoosier mine near
Digger at midnight of July 81, they
shouted as they marched along:
TO the Dixie Bee next week"
Choose Cautious Courses
In dealing with both situations.
Governor Harry C. Leslie and
Acknowledgement Paul Tombaugh
have chosen cautious courses 1t is
their opinion that troops can not be
sent out "at the whim OF every
mine owner"
At the same time, they realize
They are confronted by a situation
that easily m ght grow beyond con-
troll. If pic6ets march on every
nonunion mine in western Indiana,
virtually all the states 5000 mill
tiamen will be needed to patrol
the areas.
If picSetS proceed with their UNI
offlc' ally announced plans, they will
close in on the Francisco mine.
Somerville mines, and all other
nonunion shafts. Realizing this
posi- oil.ty, authorities are making
desperate efforts to settle wage
difficulties that have aggravated the
situation since contracts expired on
March 81
Governor Leslie is working on the
theory that If. union men reach a
settlement with operators and re-
turn to work, the nonunion miners
will be permitted to work unmo-
