Athens, O., Mar. 21.—(AP)—Further violence marked the strike of miners in the Hocking Valley-Sunday Creek bituminous coal field Monday on the heels of Governor George White's threat to call out the national guard if disorders continued.
A crowd of men stoned and damaged an automobile carrying Ohio national guard officers, assigned as observers, to the Sunday Creek Coal company's No. 6 mine near Mulfield. The officers escaped injury.
Adjutant General Frank D. Henderson at Columbus termed the stoning a "serious problem." He intimated he would send machine gun companies into the field if the governor decides to call upon the national guard.
Approximately 1,500 miners, many of them reported armed with rifles and shotguns, milled about the Mulfield district for a while Monday. They dispersed but observers feared they would become active again.
