clared.

Bluefeld, w. Va, Sept 1.-THE
situation is critical here today follow
ing the ynching last week of Walter
Johnson, the alleged assailant of little
Nita White. Although it is now gen.
orally admitted that the mob killed
an innocent man, animosity of the
whites toward the negro population
has grown in intensity and q race war
appears to be imminent.
All negro men on Raleigh street
received letters telling them to move
from the street by Saturday night or
they would be dynamited. The let
ters were signed "Lynchirg commit
tee" Al are excited and are armng
themselves. Sending Of threatening
letters has added fuel to the flames
and with the negroes arming them
selves a clash with the whites would
mean the loss of lives.
Governor Glasscock has been ap-
pealed to by influential citizens to
send state troops as precautionary
measure.
Charleston, w. Va, Sept. 1l.-Fifty
miners who had remained at work in
the mines at Kingstonon struck today.
This makes the strike III the Paint
Creek district complete. For fifteen
miles up the valley and three miles
across no coal is being mined.
All the private guards who have
been driven out by Martial law are
now entamped at Kingston and keef-
erton. The military has not covered
the two towns, but the next advance
Of the soldiers will be there.
indianapolis, Sept. 11.-That the
West Virginia miners will never again
submit to the rule of the mine guards
employed by the operators, was the
declaration in an editorial today IN
the Journal, official organ OF the
United Mine Workers of America
"If peaceful solution of the ques-
tions that brought on the strike can
be reached the miners vii! abide by the
laws as administered by the properly
elected officials whose duty it Is to
carry out the law" the editorial de-
clared. But never again will they
submit to be held helpless by body
of men, responsible to no one but the
mine owners who hire them and whose
idea of the law is, naturally enough
the interests of the men VINO hlre
them and pay them, irrespective OIL
whom they may injure."
Another editorial declared:
"The money the West Virginia OPP
rators spend in order that they may
keen their men from organizing
would 20 far toward keeping those
men contented when organized. Ma
chine guns never produced any coal.
Neither do the mine guards.
"Both could be dispensed with un-
dor the reasonable rational order that
would ensue if the operators "oula
consider their employees as RATIONAL
practical men, with strike IN the
