For several weeks the Eastern
States have been IN the grasp of
a veritable blizzard, the cold in
some sections being intense. Ow-
ing to the coal famine there is
great suffering in New York City,
where hundreds of poor people
are compelled to burn their fur
niture in order to keep warm.
The Coal Barons are to blame
for all this misery, who have not
only been instrumental in maim-
ing some of their employees, after
which they were left to starve,
but compelled their children to
work for miserable pittance in
order that the scoundrels could
collect pay for rent claimed to be
due them by the fathers of the
children who were injured while
in their employ. Such inhuman-
ity to man would not be tolerated
for a moment in our fair South
land.

GOODNOW Is JARRED

General Manager y. c. Goodnow. of

to rather rough usage Wednesday
night while in the city. His private
car was brought in from the west
during the night, and as it was going
out on the next train east it was
switched off to one of the tracks that
are used in making up the trains.
Before morning a crew. while at
work in the vicinity, started a string
of coal cars down toward the general
managers car. Bethinking himself
of the danger they were running of n
collision, the foreman signalled for &
sudden stop. The engineer applied
the air TO the engine so abruptly tha5
the string came TO stand in iiffy-
Two of the cars. however. broke
away and ran on down, striking the
coach in which the official was asleep,
knocking il several rods down the
track. breaking the coupling appara-
tus, spreading disaster inside and,
worst of all, awakening Mr.. Goodnow.
OF course there has been an official
inquiry and certain other things.
