There were briew discussions of the the relief money, over daily by the committee, in ionate amounts, to the chairmen of the various strik- ing groups, who bought food locally of apportionment which was turn and distributed it among the strik- ers. Not enough money was avail- able, but, as one miner said: “All the relief that we get is from the Na- | tional Miners Union.” I talked with Lee Smith, Jeck Hood, Bill ‘deeks, J. E. Payne, Matt Knox, Harris Collins, W. W. Good- man, Grover Partin, Marcus Davis— dozens of strikers, some of them resi- dent in Bell County, other from Har- lan or Whitely or Knox counties, some of them from nearby Tennessee counties where the union was spread- ing rapidly. They told of new strikes mines reported almost daily, of meetings broken up by gun of homes being raided, of strikers being evicted from their shacks. “At Farmers Mill they raid the homes every night bust in the doors. At Lenarue Coal Company (I can’t be certain of the spelling of this name) the operators have even forbidden the men to attend church, in order to keep them from getting together where they could talk. Near Cold Cut we called a mass meeting | about a quarter of a mile from the mine property, and about eighty men came, but twelve thugs came with ri- ffes and said they'd throw us in this damned river, and broke up the meeting.” At another such meeting —these are held in dozens of places all over the county on Sundays—the “first man who spoke would be shot dead.” From Caywood, Gray’s Knob, Straight Creek, Martin’s Fork, Ket- tle Island—from every community came such stories told by eye-wit- nesses (I insisted on being told only what the narrator had personally seen). In Morgan Hollow, where 500 miners and their wives and children had gathered, the eight or ten gun- men who came were led by C, A. Griffus (again I’m uncertain of the spelling.), president of the local coal company, who said, “Well, I heard there was going to a meeting here. I guess you'll be disappainted.” The story of Marcus A. Hanna Davis—a young-lcoking, lean, blue- eyed worker of 37—is particularly in- teresting, giving as it does a con- nected picture of several years: “I was born in Herrin, Illinois, and went to work in the mines when I was 14. My father and two brothers at mass thugs, worked in the mines. During the Herrin strike in 1928 my father and brothers were taken by gun thugs into an automobile—rty mother was with ’em at the tire, but they let her go—she told me afterward it was just gettin’ dusky-dark—and took them off. They had two other men, too, Bob Rains and Elmer Jackson. About six daya later we found their bodies, the five of them, in a patch of woods outside Herrin. I was mar- ried back in 1919. I was too young to be in the war, but both my broth- ers were in the army....After the Herrin strike I moved with my moth- er and my wife to Kentucky, and worker for the Harlan Fuel and Coal Company till the strike last spring. About 400 of us came out, but after two weeks half of the men went back vecause there was no relief, I was one of those that stayed out. The gun thugs went around to the miners’ homes and told them to go to work. I went to Norton, Virginia, and my wife and mother are there now. In December, I went to work at Straight Creek and worked three weeks before the strike began January 1. For three weeks’ work—I worked three or four days @ week, every day there was work,—after the company took out my board and other charges, I got $1.90 for my pay....Yes, you can put my name in, it won’t hurt me any.” The Jail The jail is a small white-painted wooden building about two doors from the square. I went there Sunday evening, after long talks with the miners, in the company of W. F. Stone, one of the local defense at~ torneys. I read in the Pineville Sun (Jan. 7) the city’s own admission that the six women and three men whom I came to see had been arrested on a search warrant only on a raid on the head- quarters, the individual warrants charging ‘criminal syndicalism’ being made out after they were in jail. In the same paper was a grudging des- cription of the tremendous mass meet- ing on the court-house square at which the miners denounced the ar- rest of their leaders. In the Com- berland Courier (Jan. 7), another local orge Van Beber was quoted as saying that the arested leaders would “‘have a hard time getting out of jail.” And the Middlesboro Daily News (Jan. 6), printed in a neighboring town in Bell County, although shedding editorial tears over the poor miners who “suf- fer in their silence and their distress, like hungry sheep huddling on bare hillsides,” nevertheless had express- ed its desire “to dry up the incendiary mountings of these foreigners whom we have never seen before.” , . . I knew that Mrs. A, M. Hutchinson, local representative of the Associated Charities, had publicly tried to lead a mob to the jail to lynch these “un- American” Reds. But the Reds were calmly militant, even though in jail. Through a square hole in the huge iron-barred door I talked with Allan Taub, sent by the International Labor Defense to de- fend those who were arrested, and himself arrested within two hours after his arrival, thus bringing the number of arrests to ten. Not till the next day did I understand the ex- cuse that the authorities would give for arresting the attorney, and for arresting the two relief workers, Clar- ina Michelson and Norma Martin of the Workers International Relief, and the two reporters, Vern Smith of the Daily Worker and Ann Barton of the Federated Press: In the next day’s hearing—to anticipate—the prosec- utor proudly produced the Fish Con- gressional report (apparently think- ing this report had been accepted and ratified by Congres:!) to show that the Workers International Relief and the International Labor Defense were auxiliaries of the Communist Party. “They're all Communists,” he argued —and therefore all guilty of criminal syndicalism and deserving of twenty- one years in prison. The men’s quarters were crowded, for vith Allan Taub, Vern Smith, V. Komenovich, and John Harvev. were several other local prisoners, but the women’s part, around the rear, was still more crowded. The six young women Clarina Michelson, Norma Martin, Ann Barton, Julia Parker, Dorothy Ross Weber (wife of Joe We- ber), and Margaret Fontaine, were forced to share the 2 tiny rooms with paper which I got hold of, Judge Ge- other women arrested on charges of a different sort. They slept four in a bed, and tried hard, despite the doubt ful and limited privacy, and che crude toilet appurtenances, to keep them- selves presentable. Stockings were drying over the little stove which fur- nished their only means of heat, and on which, to supplement the ail’s nondescript stews, they managed to cook occasional vegetables brought by friends. But they were all constantly active, letters, telegrams, protests, poured out of the little jail to the Daily Worker, to the International Labor Defense, to the Workers International Relief, to friends, to government officials, to the local papers. Dozens of massages were thrust into my hands for mail- ing or telegraphing, in distrust of the turnkey on whom at times they were compelled to rely. And these efforts produced effects. They broke though official smugness again and again. Their statements appeared in the ‘Open Forum’ of the Middlesboro Daily News and in the Knoxville News Sentinel, filtered through conversa- tionally to townspeople, impressed of- ficials despite themselves, forced num- bers of business men to discuss, se- riously and doubtfully, the justice of the arrests, the constitutionality of the criminal syndicalism law, the le- Miners Union. The Court Tuesday, January 12, was the fourth date Judge Van Beber had set for the hearing of the arrested strike leaders, already held without trial for much longer than the prescribed seventy-two hours. The other hear- ings were postponed because at each time there were thousands of miners in town who were determined to wit- ness the proceedings and by their so- lidarity offset ‘legal’ trickery. The attempt to slip over the hearing on Friday, a diferent day than the one announced, had failed, and even to- day, Tuesday, long before the court was to convene at ten o'clock, seven or eight hundred grim and cynical miners were gathered on the court house square. The County court was a small room that would hold a hundred people if half of them stood up, as they did. gality of the attacks on the National |i first, so that most of those who got in were unfriendly to the defendants. But in the court house halls outside the room hundreds of miners stood {throughout the day, listening to the booming voice of D. J. Bentall as he thundered denunciation of the oper- ators, and hearing the sharp trench- ant voice of Allan Taub as he, too, without softness, exposed the dup- licity of the “Commonwealth's” pro- secution. And on the court house steps on all four siaes, and in the yard, and even clinging for hours to the stone ledges of the windows as they silently peered in, were other miners, by dozens and scores and hundreds. The miners had been or- dered out of the court house just be- fore the court opening, and searched for weapons as they crowded back in, too late to get into the court; but they could not be entirely prevented from hearing the evidence. The court finally got around to open at’ ten-thirty, and the judge sat down in the front of the room, the court stenographers at his elbow. The ten prisoners, obviously tired from the nine days confinment—illegally—in the jail, but nonetheless alert and proud and calmly defiant, took their places in a row of chairs at the Judge's right, Their trim, quiet bear- , their intelligent faces, their con- fident courage, contrasted brilliantly with the anachronistic, provincial at- mosphere of the court. The Judge's face was smooth and pasty, the pro- secuting attorney’s—Walter B. Smith —was screwed up and worried. The prosecutor sat at a table at the Judge's left, along with the Associated Press representative, Herdon Evans, also a mine-owner in a small way, and the other reporters. Mrs. Hutchinson of the Associated Charities, her face strained and her eyes wild—who had tried to stir up a lynching—and N. Reed Patterson, suave and affable at- torney for the coal operators, were frequent consultees of the prosecutor and the judge. Business men sat on the few sects, glum and hustile, In the corners and ‘aisles stood miners and their wives. Reed Patterson gal- lantly offered his seat to a young mine's ‘wife, and flushed when she refuscd to take it. Local business men were admitted sat calmly looking around, or were busily taking notes—to the great puzzlement of the business men—or confering with their lawyers. The latter included, besides Benthall of Chicago and Allan Taub of the In- ternational Labor Defense, three lo- cal men, highly respected in the town, W. F. Stone, Dell Bingham, and F. Taylor. Just as court convened, it developed that the Judge couldn't find the ori- ginal warrant, or any copy of it. By eleven a second warrant had been drawn up and sworn to, guaranteed by the prosecutor to be about the same as the original one, though not worded exactly like it. ‘The prosecution produced about a dozen witnessess, deputies who failed to identify all the prisoners by name or by face, but who had arrested them and found National Miners Union and Communist literature m their posses- sion, except in the cases of Dorothy Weber and Margaret Fontaine, on whom none had been found. ‘Then the prosecution held a conference with one of the deputies who had been ex- amined, and recalled him, and he re- cognized all of the defendants this time, remebering even that Margaret Fontaine had also carried literature. Freight and express and Western Union agents were called to testify as to the amount of relief the miners had been receiving—calied because the prosecution had been embarrassed by alleged rumors that the judge and the prosecutor had interfered with the relief! To these things, and to lead- ing questions, the defense attorne objected, but in all cases the judge over-rulled their objections. The highlights of the hearing were as follows: Early in the second ses- sion Allan Taub demanded that the court reveal the status of N. Reed Patterson in the case, since, although apparently only an onlooker, yet he was being consulted continuously by both, the judge and the prosecutor. Taken by surprise, and angered by the light in which he was placed, Pat- terson, well-known as attorney for the mine owners, spoke up before the Judge could reply, saying that of course he was for the prosecution and the defendants might as well All eyes were on the prisoners, who know it. (In Patterson’s rather sump- tuous offices in the National Bank building on the afternoon before, I had seen, under the elegant glass top, many poems clipped from papers. One was Sweetest Things of Earth:— “A fragrant rose that hides a thorn, Riches of earth untouched by scorn” Again, toward the end of Tuesday's sessions, Benthall delivered a master- ly address, holding the entire crowd in awed silence, picturing the poverty of the miners and the greed of the operators, and dwelling on the just- ice of the miners’ demands and their right to join the National Miners Union if they wished, and even to join the Communist Party. In at- tacking the charge of criminal syn- dicalism, and defending the right of Communists to teach their doctrines, Benthall quoted the famous Section 4, of the Kentucky constitution, the sec- tion headed ‘Power Inherent in People,“ Right of Revolution,” which declares that the people have the right to “alter, reform, or abolish” the government whenever and in what. ever manner they deem advisable. On Wednesday, at another tense moment in the hearing, Vern Smith, the Daily Worker reporter and one’ of the de- fendants, himself questioned the Judge as to his mine holdings, and challenged his moral competency to conduct an impartial trial. But the Judge, as one of the loca) defense attorneys told me before the hearing began, had made up his mind as soon as the arrests were made. Regardless of the arrest without warrants, the detention in jail far be- yond the prescribed number of hours, the ‘ridiculousness of the charge, and the flimsiness of the evidence, the Judge refused to dismiss the case, but bound all defendents over to the Grand Jury. Nothing in the world ts clearer than the determination of the officials to send these young men and women to prison, if they can pos- sibly do it, for the full twenty-one years demanded by the criminal syn- dicalism law.
