MINERS ASKED
MARTIAL LAW
So Testifies Ex-Governor Glass
cock at W. Va. Probe
SAYS LIFE WAS THREATENED
Ex-Gtrvernor Insists Civil Courts in
Strike Zone Were Helpless and
Martial Law Was Only Course Left
Former Governor William E. Glass
cock of West Virginia told the sena
torial Investigation . committee in
vestigating mine conditions in that
state that he declared martial law
In the Paint creek and Cabin creek
mining districts because of turmoil 'be
tween striking miners and mine
guards, against the opposition of the
coal operators and at t he plea of the
prosecuting attorney and sheriff of
Kanawha county and asserted his be
lief in the right of the military com
mission to act as it had done.
The senatorial committee promptly
frowned down an attempt to question
the justification of the former gover
nor's declaration of martial law. The
committee will never pass on the good
faith of the governor, said Borah.
Glasscock said he thought the pres
ence of the mine guards was largely
the cause of the violent outbreaks in
the strike zone.
"The situation was that these mine
guards were armed In that district and
were causing the disturbance and, to
get rid of them, you declared martial
law? Is that right?" asked Senator
Borah.
"That is not exactly It. These men
were in there. They were In control
and the miners were contending with
them for supremacy, and to quiet the
situation I declared martial law. I
want to say that I believe that I never
acted more conscientiously in my Hie
than when I took charge of that dis
trict." He explained that he declared
martial law because he was convinced
the civil courts were not administer
ing justice.
".Miners and others were coming to
me," he said, "aud telling me of
pitched battles that had been fought.
I had heard of twenty-five or thirty
murders and no prosecutions had been
made. That convinced me that the
courts were not controlling the situa
tion." He said his own life had been threat
ened at various times and speeches
were made In several miners' meet
ings accusing him of "fiddling while
Rome burned."
"The miners requested the first
declaration of martial law. I told them
that a declaration of martial law was
the only method by which I could
eject the mine guards from the strike
zone."
According to the witness the trouble
originated In the refusal of some of
the operators on I'altit creek to renew
agreements with the United Minework
ers. After that the trouble arose from
complaints of the conduct of mine
guards in the district.
"Do you suppose the trouble could
have been Btopped?" asked Senator
llorah, "if you could have removed
those guards and substituted your
own police?"
" 1 thought so nt the time," said Mr.
Glasscock. "Now I could not say."
The executive said that when the
state troops disarmed the men In the
strike district six machine guns were
taken from the mine guards.
"How many of these mine guards
were there In the district when mar
tial law was declared?" asked Senator
Rorah.
"We took about seventy-five out of
the field."
"Did the mine operators object to
your disarming the mine guards?"
8enator Borah asked.
"Yes they did."
Calvin, an ex-mlne guard, was the
star witness for the miners. Ho told
tho committeo of his experiences on
the armored train which shot up tho
camp of the miners at llollygrove on
Paint creek just before tho last dec
laration of martial law.
Calvin accused tiuinn .Morton, a
mine operator, of urging that the train
return and tire again on the tented
camp, after the fire from the curs hud
onco raked the Ilttlo village, and after
Cisco Kstep had been killed beside his
home. Qulnn .Morton himself, Sheriff
Bonner Hill and others who were on
the train will he called in an effort to
disprove Galvin's statement.
"There were ten or twelve men in
tho armored car attached to tho train,"
said Calvin, "and when we got just
above Paint Creek Junction all of them
began getting lilies, which were In the
car. The bri;eui;tn came through the
train and turned down the lulus. He
told us not to raise the windows, but
to shoot right through the windows.
1 was leaning out of an open window
and as wu came up to llollygrove I
saw a stream of fire start out of the
baggage cur, just ahead, where the
machine guns were mounted. The
stream kept up as we went through
llollygrove. As we passed I saw three
or four lla. - s of lire from the tents."
"Were t.'iore any shots from tho
tents before the shooting began from
the train?" asked Attorney Belcher
for the mh is.
"I didn't o any," said the witness.
"I Just hea.d the engine whlstlo bio,
toot-toot, a..d tho shooting from the
train began. I am positive the shoot
ing first began from the buiuuso car."
HOUSE SETS JUNE
26 FORGETAWAY
Members, Tiring ot Capital,
Ignore Speaker's Piea
SENATE EXPECTED TO AGREE
Clark Bill For Commission Govern
ment For Third Class Cities Pastes
Both Houses and Goes to Governor,
The house by a vote of 101 to 76
fixed June 26 as the date of final ad
journment. The senate Is expected
to concur in the resolution and the
work of preparing for the getaway will
be on In earnest.
Speaker George K. Alter and a num
ber of rroniinent representatives
fought the resolution, but a majority
was tired of remaining here and many
of the members are Xeeliiig the drain
ou their pocketbooks.
The important legislation remaining
to be acted upon include the following
bills: Public utilities, workmen's
compensation, child labor, women's
working hours, the election measures,
congressional apportionment, and sev
eral of the pieces of legislation recom
mended by the governor. It will mean
that a large amount of work will be
crowded Into a few days.
The Claik bill, to provide a modi
fied commission form of government
for third class cities, Is ready for tho
action of the governor when the pro
siding olllcers of the two bodies sign
the measure. Both houses have agreed
to the conference committee report.
The governor is expected to approve
the bill.
Tho Clark bill would not permit the
mayors of third class cities to succeed
themselves, as thero is no clause re
pealing the act -which prevenis suc
cession. Important taxation bills were con
curred In by the house, one being the
measure to place a tax of 2',i per cent
per ton, ad valorem, on all anthracite
coal, the counties to receive a share
of the tax, aud the other to make per
sonal property tax payable to coun
ties instead of to the state.
The house went over the reports ot
tho investigating committee which
probed the charges made against
Judgo Charles N. P.rumm of Schuyl
kill county by Cornelius F. Foley, a
Socialist barber. The majority report
recommending t he acquittal of Judne
Brunini was unanimously adopted after
the minority report Which recommend
ed impeachment, had been defeated.
The house insisted that free lunch
shall be abolished as well as "growl
ers" when It refused to concur in the
senate amendments to the Kaufman
bill, supplementing the liquor laws of
1887. The bill as passed the ihouse
prohibited the "growler" and made it
unlawful for bars to furnish free
lunch. The senate amended the bill,
cutting out the free lunch prohibition
clause, and paused the measure.
Representatives Allen of Allegheny
and John R. K. Scott of Philadelphia
drew a couple of more defeats in the
house when t'hey tried to defeat ap
propriation bills. Allen undertook to
whip the measure to appropriate I300,
Out) to the Panama Pacflic exposition to
be held In San Francisco, and Scott
tried to cut down the appropriation
for the Punxsutawney hospital.
Allen lost his light by a vote of 177
to :!S, while Scott was defeated 128
to 27.
Governor Toner approved the Hun
ter bill, to authorize first aud second
class cities to compensate employes
for time lost while In the employ of
the city as a result of injuries, sick
ness or disablement of any kind, sus
tained while in the performance ot
their duties.
Other bills signed were:
Conferring upon third class cities
and boroughs the right to define by
ordinance a reasonable district within
which all electric light, telephone and
telegraph wires shall he placed under
ground and giving cities or boroughs
the right, to acquire or condemn con
duits. Providing that parades of veteran
soldiers for funerals or to attend serv
ices on Sunday may be accompanied
by a proper military band, but that
bands shall not play upon return from
service.
Regulating liability of hotel keepers
for loss of valuables by guests and
providing that they shall not be re
quired to receive for safe keeping valu
ables worth over $:!00 unless by spe
cial arrangement.
Regulating manner of tiling state
ments with county commissioners to
entitle fair associations to receive
stale aid.
The governor approved the Jones
bill, appropriating $1,11110,000 to pay the
."ii p t -1- cent lioniis on cash road tax iu
second class townships. The bill pro
vides for the deficiency which has
arisen because of insulliclent appro
priations by the legislature of 1811 and
also for the road year ending the first
Monday iu December, I '.112.
The governor also signed tho Hag
goity house bill, providing that
Knouts shall elect controllers in
place of lb,' auditors who now have
charge of supervision of accounts.
