Roberta, in the Charleston, W, Va, Ga setts. It ts the contention of the state attorneys that the march of the miners last year, and the anstet- ance given them by officials of the United Mine Workers, amounted to “levying war against the state”; murder, they say, was in the killing from of three deputy sheriffs and mine guards. The district officers of the union, backed by the tnternational or. ganization of miners, are in charge of the defense, They hold that the uprising wag In no sense an act of war either against the state or the people of West Vir- ginia, but that ft waa @ revolt against the acts of West Virginia coal operators in taking over the politien! power Into thelr hands, and thelr @uppression of free mpecch, free assembiage and the Uberties guaranteed American citizens by the constitution.

It has been « state which had been derelict tn exercising its duty to enforce order, It has jefe the main tenance of ‘order’ to armed de tectives in the employ of the mining companies or to deputy sheriffs, who too often have been in the pay of the operatois.

Neither conspiracy nor violence is, however, treason.” “In bringing the charge of treason before the cout.” main- tains the New York Pvening World, “the prosecution lays it self open to the wuspictwa that it is merely endeavoring to inten. sity the hostility of the wwo fac tions, and so win gupport for ex- treme measures against future rta of the mine unions to ex ercisa thelr rights.
