Ohio Mayor Willing to Break Few

There was an immediate response

shovelers was organized and marched
to the railroad. Six car loads of
coal, lying on the tracks, were ordered
confiscated by the mayor The needy
people were then relieved by the
coal distribution, which was made in
ton lots.
This action naturally brought re-
monstrances from certain sensitive
citizens, but remained unheeded by
the determined mayor.

thus take the law into your OVID
