Sides of the Mingo County Coal Mine Troubles. Washington, July 14. A senate committee began today an investiga tion of the disorders in the Mingo coal fields of West Virginia which have led recently to declaration of martial law by the governor, , Neil Birkenshaw, representing the United Mine Workers, being the first wit ness called. The trouble was due he said to a lock out of Union miners by mine operators. Miners had been evicted from the company home and "terrorized by gun men" Birkenshaw asserted, many having been housed in tent cities. These people are 92 per cent Ameri can born he said and mine operators are employing Spaniards, Greeks, and Italians to take the place of the striking miners. Paylor Vincent for the operators said Birkenshaw's statement "would) be overthrown by evidence." For twenty years the miners and employers "lived in peace" many of them making "$400 to $700 a month" and "that this condition per sisted until the United Mine Workers sought to get control of the field." "We propose to show that the United States Mine Workers up to 1912 was a straight labor union but that in this year it adopted princi pals that have turned its membership' into a band of robbers," Vincent said. "These are strong words but what they have done is to declare that they will never remain satisfied with any return for heir labor except that which includes the full social value ot the coal that is mined. ' "Every murder and riot in West Virginia can be laid to this policy of the United Mine workers first to un ionize them and then to own the mines." "Where do yon get interpetation for that term social value"? asked Senator Kenyon. "From the mouth of their officers and delegates," replied Mr. Vincent. DFGLAR MINERS STIRRED I V -;;i.,':.;',:;.'
