SOn COAL MINERS IN
PENN. WILL SUFFER
With the rest of the country's coal
field* now at peace 60,000 toft coal
miner* in central Pennsylvania are
still battling against powerful anti,
union employers who refuse to sign
the terms agreed to by the majority
of both sides. In Somerset county is
located this stronghold of non-union
mine owners, and of these the Ber-
wind-White Coal Company stands
out as leader. Thus far, however,
only the side of the miners has been
made public, the Berwind-White
officials refusing to treat with or
have anything to do with any union
officials.
The Berwind-White officials, who
control the mines in Somerset coun
ty where the strike still is in progress
announce they are willing to
with the men but are firm in their de
termination not to recognize
union by dealing with mine union
leaders. The Berwind-White com
pany supplies most of the fuel used
by the transportation companies of
New York city, but refused to meet
with a commission sent to the dis
trict by Mayor Hylan.
I® Great Distress.
With winter just around the
corner thousand of women and
children Jr* Somerset /4ount^, Pa.;
evicted from company-owned homes,
are living in dire poverty in
without sufficient clothing to

Much Misery Ahead.
It is unden^pd that, unless
steps are taken at once, there will
be much suffering and probably
I death in the tent colonies during the
coming winter months. Without
sufficient food ajd clothing the strik-
I ers are illprepared to meet the rigors
of a northern winter housed in flimsy

found in the tent colonies. Children
eat lard and bread, when they can
get it, and the miners say that some
of their number, particularly the
little children, will face starvation
