THE RATE CASE IS ONLY A SUBTERFUGE West Virginia should be brought to a Realization of the Plot That Has Been Designed by Their Rivals. The hearing of the Ohio rate case before the Ohio Public Utilities Commission is of vital interest to the coal industry of West Virginia, and therefore to every citizen of this state. The action was brought by a district organization of the United Mine Workers Union of America against all the coal carrying roads of the state, thirty-nine in number, demanding a reduction in the rates for carrying coal from one point to another in the state. The real purpose is to reduce the rates in Ohio in order to establish a lower differential between them and the rates for transporting coal from West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The end sought is to get to the markets with the Ohio coal with a greater selling margin in favor of the Ohio coal operator. However, this main issue is being kept in the background, in the hearing, as much as possible. The attorneys for the coal miners and operators have their guards constantly poised against the introduction of any evidence that would tend to show that mining conditions in the rival states have any bearing on market conditions, or have to do with the present dilemma of the Ohio coal industry. The Ohio interests have but one song and it is constantly ringing in the ears of the commission. The burden of the song is that the rates for transporting Ohio coal within Ohio are excessive. And to the vocalists the Ohio commission appears to be inclining an attentive ear. That the trouble in Ohio is not one of rates, is well enough understood by those who know the conditions. It is well enough known by the statute lawyers who are promoting the inquiry, as is shown by the genius that they are displaying in keeping out of the record the facts that lie at the bottom of the Ohio difficulty. It was shown last week that the production of coal in Ohio for the year 1913, exceeded thirty six million tons, and that was the largest production in the history of the state. At that time the same rates were in existence as now. Nevertheless, since that year the business has languished. There has been an almost incessant strike in consequence of a new law in the state relative to the screening of coal, which law adds immensely to the advantage of the miners, and reduces correspondingly the opportunity of the coal producers to get into the markets upon the same basis as before, in competition with the producers of the rival coal producing states. Recently there was granted a reduction of fifteen cents per ton on transportation of coal on the Hocking Valley railroad, by the commission, which finding was upheld by the state Supreme Court. Yet this significant reduction in the transportation rates did not have the effect of reinstating the mines in their activity or the miners in their employment. Now, even with this reduction of rates on the Hocking Valley in effect, the miners and the operators are holding the road to still further accountability and are insisting that the rates there established are still excessive, and ask a further reduction. Against this demand the railroad protested, and cited the state law which guarantees the stability of rates established by the commission, for the period of one year from the time they become effective. But the commission found a way to continue the Hocking Valley road in the action, effectually holding that they could review and alter their own findings made in an entirely different, albeit similar action. As a relief from this condition there has recently been started a "Buy-Ohio coal" propaganda, in the hope that a pride of-state sentiment will confine Ohio coal users to the product of the state. The Ohio State Journal, the leading newspaper at the state capital, calls attention to the futility of this movement, however, in an editorial recently published. Is age: "The buy-Ohio coal propaganda on poise to earn a state pride and patriotism but it is not economically sound. If, as one of our reliable correspondent may, West Virginia coal brings 25 cents a ton more in the Columbia market than Ohio coal and, with this discrepancy in price, the West Virginia coal sells readily and the Ohio coal doesn't, it is going to take more than an appeal to state pride to rehabilitate the Ohio coal industry. Most people will buy where they think they buy to have advantage to themselves." Ohio operators are dominated by the minor organizations and are compelled to cater for the mining of the coal at rates per ton that practically exclude them from the markets against West Virginia coal. Deplete the higher scale in Ohio, the miners do not earn as much per individual per year as the West Virginia miners. Fight on Mobocracy is to be Kept up by the Negro League Boston, Aug. 20.—Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was re-elected today President of the National Negro Business League for the sixteenth term. Other officers also were re-elected by acclamation. The resolutions summarized the progress made by Negroes since the league was started in Boston fifteen years ago. "Efficiency along all lines" was given as the organ of the organization, which was said to be "trying to secure the supremacy of law and order over mobocracy and to remove this dark blot on American civilization." Robert Morton, President of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia and Commandant of Hampton Institute, said in the closing address that the league expressed concretely the spirit of Booker T. Washington. He urged the members of his race to respect themselves, to follow their leaders and above all to believe in one another. CHANGE IN SENTIMENT The Press of the Country on the Negro of Today From the Metropolitan journals of the country today come messages of cheer and hope to the Negro. Never before in the history of the race has there been such a number of high toned humanitarian editorials dealing with the Negro as the leading journals of the country contain today. The New York World notably has ally championed the race's cause in fair-minded, unbiased editorials. Even in the South there has been some noteworthy comment on matters affecting the race that hitherto would not have been discussed by Southern editors. What does this change of sentiment herald? Does it herald the awakening of conscience of the American white man, or does it mean that the dawn of a new era in the world's history has come for Negro and do what he may the Anglo-Saxon must look things squarely in the face, and give the colored brother a right of way? The following extract from a Southern journal, the Elizabeth City (N. O..) Independent, is particularly interesting, coming as it does from a hothot of prejudice and race antagonism.—North Carolina: "I have no epologies to make for anything I have said about the unfair treatment of the Negro by my race. The great white race has never been fair to any of its darker hued brothers. The whole history of the white race has been one of a ruthless exploitation and oppression of weaker peoples. We must adopt a different policy. Christianity is not helping things much. A Christianity that promises a people social equality in a world to come and denies them even a brotherly co-operation in this world is a cheap fares that can not mistend even a flattorty very long. "I say, we have got to adopt a different policy in our dealings with all colored race. Retribution is waiting for us just around the corner, with a terrible club. I have been wanting to say for some time that we may have attempted to exploit one race of colored people too many times and we are beginning to find out our mistake. Not satisfied with our extermination of the red man and subjection of the black man, we set in to despair the yellow man. The yellow man is beginning to bother us. KEYSTONE, WEST VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, AUG. 27. 1915 Supreme Grand Lodge Hold Great Session in Columbus--More Than 7000 Delegates and Visitors-Grand Parade, Grand Ball Given THE HON. SMITH W. GREEN RE-ELECTED SUPREME GRAND CHANCELLOR Shoes! Shoes Crowning a day of varied activities was the grand ball given Thursday evening at Memorial Hall, honoring the visitors of the supreme lodge of the colored Knights of Pythia. Fully 1500 persons were in attendance. Not since Admiral Dewey gave Columbus a glimpse of high life in full dress regalia has so much gilt braid and diversified array of fine raiment been seen in public. Only an imperial ball could have been more cosmopolitan, more metropolitan and more democratic at the same time. ARRIVE IN AUTOS. Shortly after 9 o'clock the automobiles began to roll up in front of Memorial Hall and discharge their passengers, before a gaping crowd of curiosity-seekers which always turns out for such an occasion. This continued until well towards midnight, when the ball was at its height. For more than an hour there was a double line twisted about the foyer, of those who were waiting a turn to purchase admission tickets. All manner of dress suits vied for attention. There were the full dress military outfits, all swathed in braid and capped with heavy epanlettes, with claw-hammered cost and expensive shirt front. Then there was the dress uniform, the frock coat with the brass braid. Others came in the white flannel uniform of summer service. In the civilian dress suit there were all sorts and the afternoon frock and the more vegetable Prince Albert coat were noticed. WOMEN MORE CONSISTENT The women, as is their wont, honored the occasion with more consistent formality. From white brocaded satin, en train, through all the ranges of cerise, salmon, manue, lemon, garnet and ceil chiffon, the variety passed to the stiff black satin of the dowagers, who came and looked on as dowagers always do at ush affairs. There was white tulle and lace, divided skirts and such clinging fabrics of soft texture wrought into toilots that displayed every line of advantage in figures that were willowy with grace and fine symmetry. There were one or two silver shawls that would have ill-concealed the charms of Cleopatra which added their note to the kaleidoscopic array of ever-changing colors. Every dance number was enclosed and enclosed again, not alone from the dancers on the floor but from those who sat in the balcony, among whom were a number of socially prominent persons of the city. The famous Eighth Illinois Regiment band furnished music for the occasion. Aside from this band, the Ninth Battalion band of Columbus merited the greatest praise from visitors during the meeting. OFFICERS RE-ELECTED The old officers of the supreme lodge were all unanimously re-elected as follows: Smith W. Ursus of New Orleans, supreme chancellor; Joseph L. Jones of Cincinnati, supreme vice chancellor; Dr. E. E. Underwood of Frankfort, Ky., supreme keeper of records and seals; John H. Young of Pine Bluff, Ark., supreme master of exchequer; George Watty of Baltimore, master of arms, and Henry James of Jacksonville, Fla., outer guard. A conference was held between the officers of the supreme lodge and John Mitchell, jr., grand-chancellor of the state of Virginia, and a compromise settlement is now anticipated. Captain W. A. Jackson of Cincinnati was elected major of the First Battalion, First Ohio Regiment. St. Louis was selected for the next biennial meeting. It is stated that Major General Jackson of the uniform rank favorid that city. The Court of Calanthe, under the able administration of Supreme Worthy Counsellor Joseph Jones, ont completed its business and established the best record ever made since it was established. The parade Friday was not only one of the greatest features of the meeting of the colored Knights of Pythias, but it was declared by those who have attended many other supreme lodge sessions to have been one of the finest processions in the history of the order. All along the line of march the Knights were applauded frequently. The Columbus contingent, headed by the Ninth Battalion Band, with Thomas Howard, leader, attracted particular attention and was showered with generous applause. It is estimated that there were 5000 in the line of march, and the marching showed how well many of the companies have been drilled. Supreme Chancellor Green, with other supreme officers, viewed the parade in Broad street as it passed the Statehouse Major Gien. Jackson, with staff, mounted, preceded by a platoon of Columbus policemen, led the parade. Following came the Illinois Fight Regiment Band and Palestine Company of Cincinnati. the champion drill company. The Ohio contingent was headed by General Chas. G. Caldwell of Columbus. OFFICERS ARE ELECTED. L. Mitchell, of Austin, Tex., was elected supreme lecturer. Sir Knight Mitchell is one of the oldest men in point of membership in the Supreme Lodge. He has attended all of the sessions of the Supreme Lodge for the last 20 years. It was Sir Knight Mitchell who, immediately after the first great Galveston flood, traveled over the country and raised more than $8000 to assist the suffering families of the members of his order. The state of Texas was honored signally by this Supreme Lodge sitting, for, in addition to the election of Mitchell as supreme lecturer, M. M. Rogers of La Grange, Tex., was elected member of the Pythian Temple Association and Dr. E. N. Prince of Sherman, Tex., was elected supreme medical director.

Georgia Papers Condemn Lynching of Leo M. Frank It is pleasing to note the attitude of all leading newspapers of the country in occasioned by the Frank incident. Its awakening conscience after years of lynching of colored men and women, is truly a hopeful sign. In its very able editorial condemnatory of the law breakers in lynching Frank, the New York World very erroneously stated that Frank's throat was cut in the prison by a Negro convict. The Negro has too much to bear already, do not credit him with this crime. COLORED MEN GET WORK Standard Oil Company Now Employing Big Force Bayonne, Aug. 21.—Over 200 colored men, it was reported last night, have been imported from Philadelphia to take the place of those men who are being discharged for having taken part in the recent oil strike here. These men have been brought to Bayonne twenty at a time and have been put to work. As fast as they are brought to the city, it is said, the old men who went out on strike are being discharged. The Standard officials are guarding against another strike and are bringing the men from their Philadelphia plant. The new men are being used as laborers around the yard and some of them are being gradually broken into cleaning stills. This is the hardest and dirtiest work that there is to do at the oil plants, and it takes considerable time before the men are able to do the work. For this reason alone the still cleaners have not been discharged, as they were the first men to go out on strike. None of the men, who were leaders of the last strike at the plant, would talk last night. There has been much talk in Bayonne of another strike, principally because the colored men have been given employment at the Standard plant. MOB VIOLENCE IN THE SOUTH Worse Lynchings Than the Frank Case. Congress Should Act; Georgia and South Will Not do Its Duty. Today the country is horrified over the lynching of Leo Frank in Georgia and yet this is but one of these most fendish crimes that are of almost daily occurrence not only in Georgia but in the entire South. Other cases are passed by almost unnoticed and apparently acquissed in by the people of this country. In the Frank case it is generally admitted that the mob spirit was running high at the trial and may have had some influence on the jury that convicted him. It would have been better to have had a change of venue in this case. Governor Slaton felt that the trial was influenced by the mob spirit and on this conviction commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. This action met the approval of a large number of people all over the country. But what about the many so-called trials (?) of Negroes? How many cases where the cry of "Lynch him" and all the other manifestations of the mob spirit have been displayed at the trial. How many governors have interfered in these cases? While we will ever protest against this imposition our strong Eagle Coal Company Now Shipping First Class Grade of Coal MINES TO BEGIN OPERATION IN FULL SEPTEMBER 1ST Well Known Negroes Head Company. Archie McKinney is President, Mattew Buster Sec. and Treas. The Eagle Coal Company, composed of a number of Montgomery's well known colored business men, has made extensive improvements on their property in Fayette county and contemplate a steady run of the mine commencing with the last of September. It has required several months to place the property in condition for operation, the improvements including the section of a new tipple over which coal is to be loaded for rail shipments, a new stable with a capacity for several head of stock and the storing of a large amount of hay and feed, the installation of electric haulage and electric pumps, and the building of a side track from the main line of the O. & O. to the tipple. Already some good shipments have been made, and the prospects for a heavy run down on the very good. The company has under lease about two hundred acres of coal, which will afford an output to the full capacity of the new plant for at least fifteen or twenty years, and those who have invested in the stock of the new concern have every reason to look upon their investment as a guilt edged one. The coal is of a very high quality, especially adapted to steaming uses, and finds a very ready market. A large lump of coal from this mine was exhibited at the National Negro Exposition recently held in Richmond and is also on exhibition at the 50th anniversary celebration now being held in Chicago. The Eage Coal Company is owned entirely by Negroes, with Archie McKinney as president and Matthew Buster, secretary-treasure, and Negroes are mining the coal. Both Messrs. McKinney and Buster are successful business men and are accustomed to handling large affairs, and every indication points to the success of this effort by these progressive Negroes. est protest is against actions of the mob that are no better than actions of savages at a feast of human flesh, the lynching of men without a semblance of a trial. These acts are but one step removed from cannibalism. The case of Frank, as horrible as it is, is mild besides some of butish acts of the mob in the South. Many cases have occurred where the victims were burned alive and both women and children witnessed the act uttering sentiments of approval. There are cases recorded where women after being subject to most horrible treatment at the hands of different members of the mob, have been stripped of all clothing and burned. What could be more base than this in a so-called civilized community. They resort to lynching for the punishment of what crimes? Let us see. Last week three Negroes were lynched just ten miles from Montgomery, Ala., because they were under charges of poisoning mules. The victims were out on bail awaiting trial. The action of the court, admitting the accused to bail—a duty of this official under the law—infuriated the white farmers who proceeded with the lynching. As the Washington Star justly says: "The law was lynched along with the three Negroes." The Star further asks, "Is it not time for citizens of every state, of all sections, to take account of and find a remedy for the growth and spread of lawlessness in this country?" A Marietta dispatch to the New York Times has already made the boast that the murder of Leo Frank will go unpunished by the law if in the county where the crime was committed. It is openly asserted that the identification of the 25 murderers will never be known, yet the present governor thinks that this is a matter for the state of Georgia alone. If the state of Georgia can prove to this country that it can stop the open mockery of the law, let it do so at once but this does not absolve the U.S. government of its duty to protect its citizens from mob violence and inflict that provision of the Constitution that generates an impartial trial by jury to citizens accused of crime. Let Congress take action at once, "by appropriate legislation" to enforce the Constitution of the United States.

Read The Times FALL TERM OF W. VIRGINIA COL. INSTITUTE Will Open Wednesday Morning, September 15 The fall term of the West Va. Collegiate Institute will open Wednesday morning, Sept. 15. From the great number of applications that have already been received by President Prillerman, the indications are that the school will be crowded on the opening date. Among the new applicants are several who desire to enter the college department, which will open this fall for the first time. Many general repairs and improvements have been made at the institution since the last session. The new dining hall with seating capacity for 500 students has been completed and will be ready for use when school opens. All the tables in the new dining hall were made at the institution by students. The old dining room and kitchen are being made into dormitory rooms for girls. The new cement walks add much to the comfort and beauty of the school. All the buildings have been painted and renovated. New floors have been put in Fleming Hall, and natural gas lights have been put in the chapel and on the buildings, outside, thereby lighting up the grounds. The printing office has been moved to the old plumbing room. A cement gate has been erected at the entrance to the new athletic field with the inscription. "Lakin Field," overhead, and a new grandstand with seating capacity for 500 will be completed by the time school opens. The new catalogue containing the college course has been published, and will be sent out to any one upon application. Ohio Negro School Prominent Feature At Chicago Jubilee Chicago, Aug. 23.—Exhibits of the handiwork of two million Negro school children from all parts of the United States were placed on view today when the celebration of a half century of Negro freedom formally was opened. Among the leading exhibits were those of Wilberforce University, located near Xenia, O., the oldest Negro institution in America, and Howard University, Washington, D. C. In accordance with a proclamation by the city council today was a legal holiday in Chicago. NEW SUPPLY TANK RECENTLY INSTALLED The city of Keystone, in addition to having the best water in West Virginia, now has the best water system of any city its size in the state. The new concrete 10,000 gallon supply tank recently built in the pump house and the great three-cylender pump which lifts the water from the supply tank and forces it 400 feet up the mountain to the storage tanks is a great improvement to the water system and makes Keystone in a better position to fight fires than most small cities. The two old pumps now are only required to pump the water from the artesian wells into the supply tank and in case of a fire all three pumps can force the water directly into the main at a pressure as great as that of a city water tower. Mr. J. W. Shenk, the city pumper, has not only arranged everything in ship shape in the pump house but he has been working on the real houses for the past few weeks and seeing that the hose are in good condition. Mr. Shenk is the great stay of the city in case of fire; he stays at the pump house night and day and invariably has his tanks full of water to the brim. He is now training his ten year-old son to do a part of the work and thus relieve him. In addition to attending to the pump house, tanks and water mains Mr. Shenk is the emergency plumber who everybody calls for when in trouble with the pipes, spigots, etc, and there is no man in town (except of course newspaper men) who do so much free work as J. W. Shenk. Yes? Then pay for it. Quite a representative delegation of distinguished gentlemen from Wheeling attended the Supreme Lodge at Columbus, having made the trip through a most picturest section of the country. The trip was made in Hon. A W. Taylor's five passenger Cadalac car, one if the finest on the mar et. Messrs. Taylor, Cark, of Wheeling, Editor M. F Whittico of Keystone and Bennie Burnett of Columbus made several trips out of the city, one to Newark, Ohio, and another to Dayton. They were royally intertained at the home of Mrs. Ella Connor Wilson and at the home of Mr. Burnetts, both of whom spared no pains nor expense in making it pleasant for us. Mrs. Connor, who used to be one of our strong educator, is doing nicely in Columbus and is nugly situated in her own home. She is very hospitable and no one can come and go from her home without feeling kind to the world. Mr. and Mrs. Bennie Burnett both of whom used to be residents of this city are now among the progressive, thoroughgoing citizens and christian workers. Both are active workers in the church and Mrs. Burnett is the head of a very strong Dorcan society. They were unselfish in their attention and care for us. --- Mrs. Alice Broady, one of the respected and influential citizens and christian workers, answered the unexpected summons of the grim monster, Death, Wednesday morning of this week. She was a faithful member of the Baptist church, a loving mother and a strong Christian. She was a member of both the St. Luke and Household of truth societies and in good standing. She was 33 years of age, leaves one son, three sisters, a mother, a brother and an aunt. Her funeral was preached by Rev. J. W. Crockett, while words of sympathy and respect were expressed on the part of the societies by Mrs. Helen James and on the part of the church by Mr. Henry Jones. A very large crowd witnessed the last public tributes in respect of this good woman. Rev. L E Johnson, who directed the services, as well as Rev. Crockett, made a very practical talk on the useful life lived by Mrs. Broady. Rev. Crockett's sermon was very pathetic and had a favorable effect on those who heard him. The body was taken to her home in Eggleston, Va., where it was interred in the family cemetery. LOCALS Rev. R. P. Johnson was in the city Tuesday seeing friends and attending to business. Mrs. Trula Bridgeford returned ed home Saturday night after a months visit to her mother in Cleveland, O., and to other points in the Middle West. Nathaniel Cary of Landgraf, was in Keystone Sunday and with Steven English of Winston Salem, N. C., Henry France of Roanoke, Va., Sam Wade of Pocahontas, Wm. Key of Twin Branch and John Turner of Northfork, called at the Times office and chatted for an hour with the manager. C. H. Rice, of Clark, District Deputy K. of P., was in the city Monday. Hon. J. S. Caill, one of Fayette county's most substantial citizens and a very strong race man, was looking after some very important business matters in Montgomery this week. He expressed himself as being anxious to join in with a few other good citizens and drop a few hundred dollars into the hands of the McDowell Times, in order that it might be enlarged and become the centralized and accepted organ or mouthpiece (for the race in the State). Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Whittico, who, after a very nice trip to Columbus, O., where they attended the Sbpreme Lodge. K. of P., stopped off in Charleston, where they visited their many friends. They were especially the guests of Prof. and Mrs. W. W. Sandera. While in Charleston, under the auspices of the above named host and hostess, the pleasure of these two people from Keystone reached its height in appreciation. They were heard to say they hated to leave, so royal and thorough were they received and entertained by these good folks Mrs. Whittico, aside from attending Institute, spent several days with the home-folks and former friends. A. J. Slaughter, of Montgomery, whose heart is always on the right side, says times are a little dull in that section. Miss Sarah Bullard, who has been spending her vacation with relatives and friends in Charleston, left today (Friday) for Philadelphia, Pa., where she will spend the winter. She entertained a host of friends ere she left, and she was regularly and royally entertained by her many friends. Dehonney's Employment Agency, 816 Washington St., Charleston, W. Va., Phone 1054.
