Miners Fight Against Coal

rntsiiigsnoer Bureau
Colum bus. O.. Aug. s.


The hght instituted BY the Ohio
miners organization against Ohio
coal-carrying roads before the public
utilities commission for a reduction OF
freight rates developed today into a
contest between the Sandy Creek Coal
road.
Attorney Wilson argued 10 have the
complaint OF the miners dismissed as
20 the Hooking Valley. lie contendsd
that the rates ordered by the commits
sion and filed by the railroads cannot
be changed Tor one year unless appli-
cation Is made 10 modify them The
miners complaint was made before
the Hooking Valleys new rates were
nIeu Win the utilities commission and
consequently Mr.. Wilson contended
there was no complaint against the
Hooking valley new rates asking that
they be modified.
Souid Remain.
The commission held that for the
time being at least. the Hooking Val.
ley company should remain a party
defendant In the action Should the
Hooking Valley be dismissed from the
action the cause OF the miners and
operators would almost collapse as
this is the chief coal hauling road in
the state doing intrastate business.
On coal delivered TO the Hooking
Valley by the Norfolk and Western
at Valley Crossing. the former re-
ceived 3l.5 cents for taking II on
through to Toledo and on coal deliv-
cred by the Kanawha and Michigan
az Arnitage the Hooking Valley re-
ceives 55.3 cents for the haul to To-
ledo. These proportions vary in ac-
cordance with the West Virginia dis
trict, from which the coal originates.

CLAIM FRAUD
IN CONTEST"
ON PAPER

DAVENPORT, WASH, Feb. @.
The arrest of G. b. Gordon at
Walla Walla, and A. O. Cronin
at Dallas, Ore, was made last
week by Sheriff John A. Level,
and the men will have to answer
to charges of fraud preferred
against them as result Of their
management of an auto contest
for a newspaper in Davenport last
fall.
Miss Maud Barber, one of the
contestants, secured the warrants
for the arrest Of the men in Octo-
Der, since when a search has been
prosecuted for them. She alleges
that just before the close of the
contest she received a slip from
them purporting to be the stand
ing of the six candidates at that
time, and which showed her to be
lacking but 5000 votes of first
place in a total of several millions
of votes. Thus encouraged she
placed $500 cash of her own
money toward subscriptions, only
to find when the contest closed
that she was beaten about two to
one.
Gordon when arrested was man
aging a similar contest for the
Daily Union at Walla Walla, while
Cronin was managing a contest
in the Oregon town.
