MINERS NATURALLY WON'T SURRENDER It fe natural to presume that the members of the miners’ union, who are citizens, residents and taxpayers of our state, will not surrender, with- out @ struggle, their right to life, lb erty and the pursuit of happiness. The cost to the state, before the struggle ts over, will prove enormous.

When union organizers began to get &@ foothold in other sections of West Virginia, the operators concentrated in these counties their efforte to thwart untoniam, The mine guards nominally are to protect the coal companies’ proper: ties, Actually they function to keep organizers away from the non-union men and even known union mem bers are barred in this territory. In many instanpes the peace offi cers of these counties occupy the role of mine guards, One sheriff prominently identified with the mine warfare just ended is mid to draw from the operators « substantia! commiasion for every ton of coal mined and tn the several years he has held office in aid to have amassed a fortune.

FOUR DAYS LATER CRUSHED TO DEATH “The sheriff of the county took the prisoner, who was a hearty, robust fellow, to the asytum and turned him r to the thorities there. Four days later his dead body was shipped back to the town from which he came. “Everybody wan shocked. Even those who had been responsible for j hie being arrested were horrified.
