dents Policy.

The third annual report of the Pittsburg
Coal company which does a large business
in the northwest is just out and shows
some large figures In 1902 the net earn

tons. Or - 1.s per cent. 90, -
or 12A per cent. 80
This rapid growth was brought about
largely thru the policy of consolidating
and harmonizing various interests in the
bituminous field under one management
according to plans formulated by Fran
els L. Robbins of Pittsburg, chairman and
president of the company, whose ability
in the handling, Of such enterprises is
widely recognized. In furthering the in
terests Of the company in the northwest,
G. e. Wales, formerly OF Minneapolis and
now of Chicago, did much, also George
Space Of ST. Paul.
q One Of the features of the report is g.
statement relating to the Pittsburg Coal
Company Employees association, formed
to encourage and assist employees of the

gregated $3.50, 309.15.

benefits distributed in cases Of accident
and $4,000 the initial payment for
1000 shares OF preferred stock as the

inals Should Be Punished
by Law.

The disposition north of Mason and
Dixon's line, as shown at Wilmington
Del, and recently at Belleville, ILL.,, to visit
lynching and burning on negroes guilty OF
heinous Offenses, has aroused considerable
feeling among the colored population OF
Minneapolis. 1t is probable that in all
three of the colored churches of the city
will be heard sermons on that subject next
Sunday.
Rev. Timothy Reeves, pastor Of ST.
Peter African M. 3. church, has already
expressed himself forcibly on the sub
ject in a letter to The ournal.
God made the negros skin black, Mr.
Reeves says, and the white man began
transplanting him to this country when
the first cargo Of slaves was landed al
Jamestown, Va, in 1920. Being respon-
sible for neither his color nor the fact
that he is living on alien soil, the negro
he says, is yet doomed apparently tc

Of the white man, rectify the mistake
that God made in creat ting a black race
of men. We were made slaves and kept
lynched because we suffer it. We know

the white mans old crime against the
black woman of the south.

This line of talk, handed out by a
sinewy blacksmith of Scotch extraction
and evidently a man who meant exactly
what he said, was what Arthur L. Jones,
chief deputy sheriff, and his corps of tax
gatherers ran up against yesterday after
noon. D. H. Woodside was the deter

at bay. and he was making the stand in
his blacksmith shop at 1909 Hennepin

The situation was tense and the lone but
determined wielder Of the sledge never
backed down one particle and didn't seem
to know fear. despite the fact that three

newspaper men formed a dangerous-look-
ing attacking party.
Mr.. Jones finally consented to look into
the ground for the blacksmiths asser-
ton that he was unjustly taxed, and the
party repaired to the courthouse. There
after careful study Of the records and
a secret conference Of considerable length
a payment satisfactory to both sides was
made, battle averted and the Incident
ended.
