QHAKLESTON, W. Va., Feb. 3.
A new kind of a mine strike Is
in progress iu the coal fields of West
Virginia.
The bloody armed marches and gun
battles between strikers and mine
guards of the past are in contrast
with the quietness of the strike now
in progress. .
"Within the law," seems to be the
slogan adopted by more than 1B00
miners of the Kanawha Piver valley,
w-ho are seeking to compel coal oper
ators to pay wages about $2 higher
than the present scale.
And at the samo time mine operat
ors are bending every effort to keep
peace,
Kach side tries to cause the other
trouble, but each side is also extreme
ly careful to do nothing illegal under
the West Virginia law.
Tetlow Responsible
Tercy Tetlow, acting president, of
the United Mine Workers of West
Virginia, is mainly responsible for
the conduct of the striking miners.
Couped up in shacks and tents,
with but meager rations for their
families, the striking miners were ex
pected to keep the situation precar
ious. Hut Tetlow watches the situation
closely, urging the strikers to obey
the law and place a responsible miner
in charge of each camp. Kach per
son is charged with doing his part
to keep in the law. .
At the Mammoth tent camp about
25 miles from here, is Mrs. Mary
hhifflet, bit years old, representative
of the spirit of "law and order."
She is known as the "Mother

Jones" among the strikers.
Jonos" of the region. She ma ken
Kppechea denouncing strikt'brrnkerH,
bub always urges the strikers to do
nothing illegHl.
It is ".Mother" Shifflett who goes
to aid mothers, living with as many as
seven children in tents; who keeps
vigil over the siek and settles petty
disputes that may arie.
Soparate Evictions
Although CiMKI persona have been
evicted from their homes and forced
to live in tents and shacks, the coal
coinptuticH have nl lamed a separate
court order for each eviction,
I'ndcr the West Virginia law n
striker can be evicted from the com
pany homes upon a jury trial. On
one occasion 140 ovietiou cases were
before the court and the union attor
ney silked for a jury trial in each
case.
Three days were required for the
court to legally order evictions.
A law provides that when a sheriff
evicts a miner he must take the min
er's furniture to the nearest county
road.
One miner hack in the hills com
pelled a sheriff to cart an old square
piano eight, miles down a terrible
mountain trail. It required two days
to do this.
Much Relief Work
Under Tetlnw's sunerivifuon a relief
organisation is spending $SO,000 a
morith to aid the strikers. Of this
amount $.iO.O(M. is used to acquire
land and small houses to replace the
tents, and the balance is used to sup
ply rations, sent into the colony every
two weeks.
The . union cottages, which are
small, yellow-pine, two-room affairs,
house two families at a cost of from
$125 to $if.O.
'"Ninety-nine per cent of the min
ers in the Kanawha field lived in com
pany houses." says Tetlow. "My hope
is to put all these people on their
own land."
Tetlow is a comparatively young
leader. Labor throughout the country
is watching him.
It is interested to learn if his meth
ods succeed where bloodshed has failed.
before he had been a prisoner for two
days, when another enormous boulder
fell and blocked his egress from Crys
tal cave after he had penetrated new
found passages.
It Vas discovered today that work
men within the cave could be heard
faintly from the side of a hill about
UOO feet from the entrance. The
spot was discovered accidentally.
M embers of the party outside the
cave hurried to -the hillside, placed
their ears against a rock and heard
the workmen inside chipping away at
the sandstone.
With new life injected into the
entire party, a plan to bring 1(H) men
to the spot and begin a tunnel im
mediately was evolved. The rescue
work, heretofore heroic but haphaz
ard and unorganized, took on a sem
blance of order. If a tunnel put
through the hill at this point strikes
Sand cave, more than 150 feet from
the entrance, workmen will in time,
reach Collins, from the side where
the rock weighing him down can be
seen.
Screw Jack Tried
Meanwhile another planpreviously
untried, was being pushed by those
men working within the cave. A large
screw jack, supplied by the Courier
Journal, was to be placed against
the wail in front of Collins, With a
pipe or piece of timber extending
from the jack across Collins' body to
the slab, it was planned to exert pres
sure ngainst the stone. If the pris
ons was moved five inches, rescuers
argued, it might be possible to move
the rock backward far enough to
permit extricating Collins.
No one knows whether the pas
sageway immediately beyond Collins
allows much leeway in pushing the
stone. The jack, too, may prove
insufficient as the weight of the
slab has been estimated at six to
eight tons. Here again, hope reverts
to the possibility of reaching the pris
oner from behind.

Rebuttal Heard in
Gooding Bill Case
WASHINGTON, Feb. 'H. Itebuttal
testimony by proponents of the
Gooding bill was offered today before
the bouse commerce committee.
James A. Ford, secretary of the in
termediate rate association, declared
the Bystein Lhe railroads are trying to
put iu, is causing congestion of popu
lation . under unfavorable conditions
and is driving smaller industries out
of business. The wool growers In
Idaho and adjoining states, he con
tended, were until recently forced to
ship their wool west to the l'actfic
coast find then eastward to the At
lantic seaboard, to reach the mar
ket, to take advantage of what lie
cailed "discriminatory rates."
Various agencies of government,
Ford contended, have drawn attentixi
to the point that railroad rates arc
detrimental to nuvigation.
