large number of “night riders” ■

growers and the Tobacco trust.

I
Say That Delayed Investigation
Will Lead to Trouble in
Coal Mines.
Washington, I). 11., June 5_
Tlie mine operators in I lie West
Virginia coal fields appeared be
fore tlie Senate committee and
claimed liial tlie violence of the
strikers would be resumed unless
Hie probe was immediately start
ed and brought to an immediate
settlement or else discontinued.
They asserted that the strikers
would make a demonstration for
the purpose of intluencing the
members of congress throughout,
a long drawn out investigation,
but if immediately started and
quickly linished it might be avoid
ed.
The strikers in tile Charleston
coal helds have been* led in a
two-year war with capital by
“Mother" Jones, who was recent
ly tried by a court martial with
59 other strikers charged with
murder “Mother” Jones refused
counsel and declined to recognize
the right of military court to try
her.
But she wasn’t afraid of being
shot, even Ijiough she broke down
before the trial was ended.
“I have only a few more years
to live, 'anyhow,” she said.,
“What’s the difference? My ex
ecution would bring to the atten
tion of the nation the condition
in the mines of West Virginia.
Therefore 1 am content to die.”
Her speeches attacked the1 mine
guard system, which, according to
evidence given before a state
house investigating committee,
had for years ruled the mine
camps with rifles and clubs. The
miners had demanded legislation
abolishing the system. “Mother”
Jones in a spdech advised the
miners that if they couldn’t get
justice througjh the law to take it
with violence^^^
