OPPOSING VIEWS
An industrial conflict is
being waged between mine
workers and leaders of the
United Mine Workers over
the question whether all the
bituminous coal miners in
* West Virginia shall be recog
nized as union men.
The miners’ leaders also
demand that the scale of pay
now in use in the Kanawha
field be adopted in the Min
go county bituminous field.
Charles F. Keeney, pres
ident of district number 17
of the United Mine Workers,
who is in command of the
union forces, recently gave
the following explanation to
a correspondent of The As
sociated Press:
“There are approximately
55,000 organized workers in
West Virginia and 35,000
who have not yet been or
ganized. These unorganized
men are mostly in the count
ies of Mingo, McDowell, Lo
gan, Raleigh, Mercer and
Wayne, all in the southern
part of the state. The cam
paign to organize these min
ers is well under way and we
expect to have it completed
before the snow flies.
“TU«__ ~

ators could get together and
settle this thing if it were
not for the mine guards. The
operators are depriving the
men of their constitutional
rights and that brings about
trouble. Why, I understand
the sheriff of Pike county
has deputized some 300 men
and the coal companies are
paying them, while detect
ives are on the border be
tween Mingo and McDowell
counties with rifles and ma
chine guns.
“What would happen if an
attempt were made to oper
ate the mines with non un
ion men? 1 wouldn’t like to
say. But in their present
temper, these men are not
to be fooled with. Right
now this situation is a pow
der mill. The men have no
complaint when the law is
enforced by the proper au
thorities. But they will op
pose to the last, the use of
private armies enlisted by
the coal companies.”
Harry Olmstead, of the
Coal Operators’ Association
of Williamson, gave the
other side of the contro
versy.
“The United Mine Work
ers want to organize their
field,” he explained, “and
then move on to the larger
and more important fields of
McDowell, Wyoming, Mer
cer counties, and what mines
have not been organized in
Raleigh. These are the last
important unorganized bitu
minous coal fields in the
country and, with these or
ganized, the union will con
trol the bituminous produc
Ition of the United States.
|They will then be in position
|to enforce the demands for
■ mulated at ‘the Cleveland
[convention last year, and;
'which they could not!
[enforce in the general coal
[strike last year, because our
[mines in this part; of the
state were operating and our
men stuck to their posts. We
saved the country from suf
fering then because this field
was not organized.
“The Kanawha scale de
manded by the union ‘is less
[than the scale we are paying
!now and I don’t know that
the question of treatment or
working conditions has en
tered into the controversy.
It is just a question of the
United Mine Workers union
izing the mines, with all
that such a course carries.1
We object to that, because [j
for a matter of twenty years j'
we have enjoyed peace and[
quiet here in this field, and‘:
1 may say that because of1
this, we have made the sue-1
cess of this field possible, j
“All differences have been i
settled ~y oDerators and min
ers, and settled satisfactorily.!;
I know of some union men j
who have come in here from !,
union fields but they left;,
just as soon as the union or
ganizers came in last spring.!
I don’t believe there is any!
basic union sentiment in the |
field, because the men have1
always made wood money. !
“The Baldwin-Felts detect-;
ives, about whom one hears;
,so much, are not employed!
to guard property and in no!
sense are they mine guards. [
In fact, there is not a mine|
[guard in Mingo county. The!
[detectives are employed by
[the companies as any corpor-!
iation which does not have,
iits own intelligence depart-!
ment, employs such men.”
i The Mingo mines produced;
last year about six million
.tons of coal worth about:
^sixteen million dollars, with;
ithe loss of only six lives, ac-<
[cording to the state mining!
[inspector for that district.
