When wives of Pennsylvania

Jones had them carry their
babies to court. A chorus of
wells greeted the Judge's an-

suggestion, and in this way

Returning to West Virginia, in

fient on strike for more wages.
Their pay was pitifully low. In an-
swer to the cry for breed, the con-
' stabulary were sent into the dis—
trict.
One day a group of angry women
were standing in front or the mine.
heating at the strike breakers. The
sheriff came and arrested all the
women “for disturbing the peace."
I told them to take their babies
and tiny children along with them
when their case. came up in court.
They did this and while the Judge
was sentencing them to pay thirty
dollars or serve thirty days in jail.
the babies set up a. terrible wall. so
that you could hardly hear the old
judge. He scowled and asked the
’ women it they had someone to
leave the children with.
I whispered to the women to tell
the judge that. miners“ wives didn't
keep nurse girls.
Two mounted police were called
to take the women to the jail. some
ten miles away. They were put on
an lnterurban car with two police-
men to keep them from running
away. The car stopped and took on
some strike breakers. As soon as
the car started the women began
cleaning them up. The two police-
men were too nervous to do any-
thing. The motorman said it was
against the law to stop except at
the station. That gave the women
a little more time to trim the fel-
lcws.
When they got to Grcenshurg. the
women sang as the car went
through the town. As they got off
the car before the jail, a crowd
cheered and cheered them.
The sheriff took them upstairs.

decided to do something to rouse
the strikers and the public.
At it prearranged place I int-t the

The sherii‘l's wife used to go up
and try to stop them because she
couldn't sleep. 'l‘hon llm sheriff
sent for me and asked me to stop
them.
"I can’t stop them." said I. "They

them loose."
Complaints came in by the rim.-

and private homes.

said a hotel keeper to me.
“That's no way to speak of wo-

and lullahir‘s to their little ones."
