Rambling Of Trouble
Around Local Mines

There were various rumblings of
trouble and expected trouble among
Garrett county mines during the past
week, with some non-union operations
continuing to work, and rowing pick
cts of union men attempting to stop
them.
Fifty rowing pickets visited strip
mine in this county, about mile from
Westernport on Tuesday. Sheriff j..
S. Teats was called there after the
pickets arrived. He was accompanied
by Deputy Paul Fisher and Constable
Mark Moon. They arrived after the
pickets had left, having been called
there by a mine official.
A band of pickets also visited a
mine near Deer Park causing it to
close. Some local residents declared
they were running short of coal for
their homes.
There was evidence of violence
yesterday around Westernport and
mine owners there said they would
ask Governor Lane to send State
Police to their aid if Allegany county
authorities could not cope with the
situation.
Operators were criticizing attaches
of the sheriff's office there, claiming
in some cases they arrived after the
pickets had left, and in one instance
refused to go to mine when sum-
moned
At a mine near Barton pickets al
legedly tore up floor boards of a
bridge and formed a barrier to a
truck leaving the mine. One mine
owner said he fired a gun in self de-
tense. One person allegedly was
beaten at Kempton by union miners.
One mine official declared there
were at least 500 non-union miners
in Garrett and Allegany counties who
would like to work, but many were
afraid to do so because of inadequate
protection"
In parts of Pennsylvania non-union
miners backed up their determination
to work with loaded guns. At Clear
field miner declared I've got six
kids to feed and the money has to
come from somewhere. l haven't got
anything against unions. They don't
bother me one way or the other, but
l got a family to feed and l aim to
work if | can"
The work stoppage ordered by John
L. Lewis was no nearer solution than
a week ago.
