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 their bodies, and existing meager food ration. Smoke rises from stoves set up under shanties msde of oilcloth and chicken wire. A family of nine of ten livea in one army tent, supplied for by the union, plus a kitchen of the same sort.

The operators, forced to go outside the district to recruit their labor, paying above union wages for green It is estimated that the casual shifting labor force now being brought into the Somerset fields, where much of the coal is difficult to get, can produce only one-fifth of the daily output of the regular force about one and one-half tons a day r man instead of seven and on half. The strikers are being paid $6 week a family by the union. This re lief is contributed by 42,000 United Mine Worker* who have jobs.

They were given tents and the small weekly strike I 'benefit. 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 tents. The company homes are {barred to them, they have no funds [to leave the district and seek work [elsewhere, and they are simply wait ing for something to happen.” I Conditions of utter poverty are 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 when the snow falls. But the miners! are determined to fight for the union ; ' and the operators are equally de- j termind and seemingly far better; supplied with the sinews of war, to 1 ; keep the unio n out of Somerset coun- ' !ty. j ARRIVAL OF “PICTURE BRIDES”' NEARLY CAUSED RIOT AT i DOCKS IN BROOKLYN j Seventy-three young men sur rounded by enough fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, aunts and cousins 1 to make the crowd 3,000 stood on pier i .22, Brooklyn, N.
