Steps were taken yesterday to put the power of Hopkins county into action for the protection of the many valuable mining properties in the county and the lives of the 2,000 employed miners from threatened violence at the hands of union men from other fields. Based upon information of threats of violence in the hands of officials of the county and upon the affidavits of the coal operators of the county, the County Judge took action yesterday. Under the law he has no alternative when property owners show cause and demand protection.
