FORCE OF FEDERAL TROOPS r
ON WA Y TO WEST VIRGINIA
TO PUT STOP TO DISORDERS
Report Heavy Firing Along
Line On Spruce Fork Ridge
MINE UNION CHIEF -ISSUES
STATEMENT
Declares Governor Morgan Re
sponsible For State of Af-
fairs In, West Va.
Chsrlsstoa, W. Vs., Sept. t. (By the
Associated Press.) Philip Murray, in
ternational vies president of the United
Mine Workers of America, today gave
out the following formal etatement on
the West Virginia situation aa repre
senting the views of the rains workers
union:
"After making a survey of the entire
situation in the disturbed sections of
West Virginia, I am forced to conclude
that there ia but ono solution to the
whole question ss it affects ths eitisenry
of the 8tate of West Virginia and that
ia complete abolition of the mine guard
and Baldwin-Felts system now in gen
eral use throughout the non-union coal
mining fields- of this State
"Despite any statement that might
be made to the citizenry by the Gov
ernor ef the Stat of West Virginia,
evidences of the brutality of the mine
guards nnd Bnldwin-Fclts agencies
can be found in the non-union territory
of West Virginia. My personal judg
ment is that the presence of Federal
troops ia the disturbed sections of the
State will result in immediate quiet
being restored. The men engaged in the
present conflict sgninst the Governor's
misuse of power welcome with open
arms the roniing of Federal troops. They
believe, that their presence in this field
will st least assure them, their wives
and families, protection from assassina
tion at the hands of this armed band
of desperadoes.
Entered Agreement.
It is not generally understood, but
it is nevertheless true, that on August
S8, these citizens entered into an agree
ment with General Bandholts and Pres
ident Keeney to disperse peaceably and
return te their homes, with the distinct
understanding that their live would be
protected whil following out th terms
of the agreement.
"The miners, ia good faith,' did die
per and did return to their homes, but
not quite Z hours after they had re
turned to their homes, an armed band
ef men, consisting of mombers of th
State constabulary and deputies from
Logan county, crept into the town of
Sharpie in the dead of the night when
th men, women and children of the
community were in their beds, snd when
those armed thugs had eompleted their
night's work, they hsd killed two mem
bers of the United Mine Wbrkers of
America, and injured another two.
They stealthily crept back to where
they came from, and despite the fact
that the responsibility for the com
mission of this most reprehentive crime
was charged directly to the State, yet
up until today, so far as I know, the
Governor of the State of Wet Vir
ginia has not even "interested himself
in this most deliberate killing wheh
it is alleged members of his. own Stnte
constabulary committed on August 27,
Tells ef Oatrare
"The feelings of the citizenry of the
entire Stat of West Virginia were com
pletely outraged as a result of the
crime, which was committed in, Sharpies
and resulted in a complete rcmobiliza
tion of not only the forces which had
returned to their homes, under the
terras of the originsl agreement made
with General Bandholts and President
Keeney, but in sddition to that force,
there came up the valleys of Lens
Creek, Little and Big Crnbtrec Creek,
hundreds of citizens from practically
every county in th State to join with
the citizens of 8harples, Blair and all
f the other mining ton in the neigh
borhood in a fight for the abolition of
this most terrible system which is per
mitted to be practiced by the State
authorities.
"Ths general impression that has been
erented by th Governor Is that the
movement of this srmed bsnd of men
Is eoafined to members of the. United
Min Worker of America. Nothing
eould be further from the truth. As a
matter of fact, from my own personal
obeervatioa of the situation, I discov
ered that the men who are on the firing
line fighting for th abolition of th
guard aad Baldwin l'sl( aystsm, consist
f miners, railroad men, merfbnnts doe
tors, ministers of the Qospel, snd al
most every element of the citizenship ef
those communities and throughout the
State is represented ir the forces that
are fighting for the estnblishmsnt of
true law and order in th But.

Ita primary object, it wss explained,
is fie quelling of disturbance, snd the
the reinstatement of proper and con
stituted civil suthority in ths disturbed
area.
Consequently, it is expected that mili
tary forces will eo-operate with state
police and local police officers, that no
ml ii tarv courts will be set up for trial
and punishmsnt of captured disturber
of the peace, and that local business and
industry will be encouraged to continue.
Exception to this general policy, it wss
said, would only be occasioned by pro
longed end virulent disorders, which
eould be stamped out only by military
operations. If thi should happen, n
might be necessary to remove ven
