Unions Blamed For Mine War In Williamson Field
Officials of the United Mine Workers of America were charged with responsibility for the invasion threats in Logan and Mingo counties by armed miners. A statement by Harry Olmsted of the Williamson field Operators association countered Samuel Gompers of the AFL, calling his remarks hypocritical. Olmsted denied operator use of guards and detectives and accused Gompers of misrepresentation. The release argued wages were adjusted promptly after government fixes and that coal is measured, not weighed, in Williamson. It asserts the Williamson strike aimed to force recognition of the UMWA and notes Kanawha field exposure may have spurred attempts to invade non union areas. Continued on page 5.
