Dear Sir:
We wish to submit to you by re-

protest against the action you have

coal miners of West Virginia, and
your hfgh-handed methods in confis-

citizens the right of free speech.
We wish TO call your attention to
the fact that we are living in the year
1918, and not in the dark ages, and
that the people are too enlightened
to. tolerate the tyranny that you are
attempting to impose upon them, by
throwing a noble and defenseless old
woman in jail, and numerous other
intelligent working people. who have
been giving their best efforts in be-

West Virginia, into bull pens to be

consider that military rule and court

BEATS UP A Citizen
(From Charleston Citizen.)


Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned Saturday evening in front of
the Kanawha Hotel, when M. L. Park
er, Baldwin Feltz detective, struck
Tom Williams, knocking him down.
Just what brought about the trouble
between the two men Saturday even
ing, we are unable to learn, but Mr.
William was quite severely bruised
up by the mine guard, and his friends
are justly indignant over the affair.
Mr.. Williams is small of stature,
and would be no match physically for
Parker in fight. Williams was for
merly the aduitor for the New River
Company at Mcdonald, where Parker
is employed as a mine guard.
Parker is the same man who helped
to beat up Messrs. Maynor and Brown
at Mt. Hope several weeks ago for
which he is now under indictment ip
Fayette county. After Parker had
knocked Williams down and was pro-
ceeding to kick him, some of the
friends of Williams made show of in
preference, whereupon Parker pulled
out of his pocket murderous looking
gun and stood them off. A large crowd
! gathered and indignation ran high
