Russell HUNTER KILLED BY
WABASH TRAIN LAST NIGHT

in the frog. At the place where he
was struck, shoe was found, unfast-
ened. The lower part of the body was
found 100 yards from the place where
the accident occurred. One OF the
shoes was missing, and this gives
rise to the conclusion that he had
Just unlaoed the shoe and had pulled
his foot out OF 1t but was too late to
get out of the way Of the approaching
train.
Laid sMt Case Aside.
A suit case that the young man
carried. was found in an upright po-
sition on one side Of the track and
this also points to the fact that he
laid 1t down SO that his hands would
be free to unlaoe the shoe.
The body was cut in two and the
upper half was badly mangled and
crushed. This upper half was found
between the rails where the young
man was struck. The head and chest
were crushed beyond semblance to
human form and the arms dangled by
threads. The head was found in the
frog, and the brains were scattered all
around
One hundred yards farther down to-
ward the depot the trunk and legs
were found Although dragged this
distance, this part Of the body was
bruised and cut but slightly. The
legs were not severed.
The train that struck young Hunter
passed the Keokuk side Of the bridge
at 1894 o'clock and arrived at the
union station one minute later. The
accident happened between those two
periods OF time. The night Waterman
on the bridge did not know that the
young man had been struck until after
the accident had been discovered by
others and some one came running on
the bridge with lantern.
q Train Stopped.
But few second after the accident
c., B. & @. train No. 10,
coming from fort Madison stopped a
few feet from the junction OF the
bridge track and the @. track where
young Hunter had been struck, the
engineer having seen part Of the body
on the track. The train waited until
It had been removed before pulling
on into the station.
The accident is particularly sad

& O., Pennsylvania System and the
Wheeling & Lake Erie. There lie only
one remedy and that is for the Ohio
Legislature to act. For years the pub.
lie utilities commission has played
with every proposal to equaIize freight
rates on coal. The all-poWerfuI Inter
state Commerce Commission has con.
tented itself with mere condemnation.
In the meantime the Ohio coal Indus
try has been steadily going back.
At present there is pending in the
Ohio legislature a bill by Senator Vor-
HES, that seeks to readjust freight
rates on all coal shipments on just
and equitable basis. The large coal
companies that are controlled by the
railroads are secretly fighting this
measure. Unitedly in favor of the bill
are to be found the small operators
and the miners-they alike recognize
the chief obstacle At last the citizen
ship OF Ohio are beginning to under
stand that the possible increase cost
OH per cent in the change of the sys-
tenn OF weighing coal is immaterial
when compared with a Sc per cent
oVercharge in the matter Of freight
rates. The awakening has gone still
further, for the people are now alive
to the fact that the transportation com
panies hold the Ohio coal industry in
their grip. Already several .of the
larger companies controlled by the
railroads have started mine operations
In West Virginia. Under the present
railroad rates, it is possible for them
10 pay the miner the same rate Of
pay, for coal mined under the mine.

The same persons who are the loud.
est in clamoring for the development
Of Ohio coal fields and the conserva-
ton of Ohio's coal deposits are the
loudest also in their malicious at
tempts to bride it.
How lssIt Possible To Arrive At
This Conclusion?
For twenty years the larger operat-
ing coal companies of Ohio have been
secretly gobbling up the cheap coal
lands Of West Virginia until at the pres
emit time the big companies operating
in Eastern Ohio have acquired twice
the coal lands in West Virginia in COM
parison with their Ohio holdings. The
concerns planning and executing the
West Virginia exploitation are directly
affiliated with and for the most part
completely controlled by the trans
portation companies.
The plan in operation has been
to make every condition favorable
to the mining and developing Of
the cheap coal lands of West Vir-
ginia, even to the extent Of re-
ducing freight rates beyond the
widest expectancy of freight traf-
fic bureaus operated in connection
with commercial clubs. All Of
which has worked continuously to
the detriment of the coal industry
in Ohio.
For many years all coal mined in
West Virginia has been under the
nine-run system. In 1887 the coal
production of Ohio was over twice
hat of West Virginia. Ten years later
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1915-04-01

West Virginia exceeded Ohio in coal
production to the tune. of 100000
tons. Since 1897 West Virginia has
steadily outdistanced Ohio, to the ex.
tent that in 1918 the production of
West Virginia doubled that of Ohio.
Another amazing feature of West Vir-
ginia coal production is the fact that
the greatest increase resulted under
the operation of the mine-run system
Of weighing coal, to which Ohio opera
tors have so seriously objected.
Ohio coal is nearer the chief manu-
featuring and lake port markets and
can be mined in every instance as
cheaply as West Virginia coal.
The Ohio mine-run law which is
now being attacked by the big inter.
ests as being directly responsible for
the standstill condition Of the Ohio
coal industry, did not become opera
tive until April, 1914, years after West
Virginia coal had displaced Ohio coal
in Ohio's home markets.
If it is possible for West Virginia
coal to displace Ohio coal in the open
market, mined as it was, and is now,
on a mine-run basis, while Ohio oper-
tors still enjoyed the unjust advantage
Of the screen coal basis, then what
has brought about the present deplor-
able condition of the Ohio coal in
dustry? There is but one answer, and
that is the unjust manipulation Of
freight rates by Interested transporta-
ton companies, directly interested in
coal production, as joint or absolute
owners Of the mines.
