At Centerville a crowd of 250 gathered at the mouth of a mine which had resumed operations under a $5 a day wage seale, replacing the 50 scale the miners are demanding. The mob, forced from the mine by tear gas, re-formed and had to be dispersed a second time by gas. A FEW + WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE OVERCOME BY THE | FUMES AND LEFT BY THE ROADSIDE. —Special dispatch to the New York Times from Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 24. War is being carried on by the eoal barons, their gunmen ind the government, against the wives and children of the strik- | ing.coal miners, against the miners themselves and against the anion. TI n mobilization of the armed forces of local and state | wovernments, the enlistment of federal judges and injunctions, has been carried on rather slowly up to the present but with the announcement Saturday of the decision of the Illinois coal oper- ators’ association to attempt to resume operations at a $5 wage scale, a merciless drive on a wide front will be started. The union miners‘ have all been idle since , of them were unemployed,for months re is misery in every mining camp—the misery that is known only by workers, and the wives and chil- dren of workers, who fight with the stubborn courage no other class displays in spite of hunger, cold and inhuman attacks by the mercenaries of the bosses. Winter is coming. the first of April, n before the strike. The coal fields of southern and eastern Ohio, where federal injunctions place United States marshals and their deputies at the service of the coal barons, western Pennsylvania, where the state constabulary and the “coal and iron” police make armed forays on the strikers, Iowa, where tear gas is used indiscrimin- ately on men, women and children picketing non-union mines, Tilinois, where any attempt to re-open the mines under a wage scale from wir 2.50 have been cut, is a challenge to the whole labor movemeit of that great industrial state, are all now defi- ORES a Edward F.
