Shriler's Refreshment
Committee Threatens to
Resign and Quit

, CONSERVATION was thrown into thu
camp Of Al Kader Temple yesterday
morning by an ultimatum delivered by
Chairman Fred A. Erixon and his com
mittee of food supervisors at a specia
meeting of all the Shrine Committee
at the Masonic hall. The cause of the
controversy was the extent of the re.
freshments that were outlined bv the
refreshment committee to be fed to the
local and visiting shirks.
Some of the mobiles are prominent
physicians in this city, unanimously de-
elared that if any bedouin fed him
self the food, and his camel the drink,
that was oatlihed by the worthy noble
Epieurians, there would be an apoplex-
led Arab and drowned camel. There
at Noble George Dunsford and Noble
Hal Patton declared that any local son
of the burning sands or any visiting
mouzin who couldn't handle two
chickens at one banquet was an inter
loper and disgrace to his own hour.
Noble Percy Cupper and Noble Walt
Smith also made known that any wear
er or seeker for the fezz, who eouldn t
hold at least two gallons of Salem IS
famous phezz better bring along anoth-
er camel.
The meeting developed one thing,
that the local shriners are outlining a
course of refreshments that if followed
to the letter, and they all swear ''by
the beard of the Prophet" that it will
make every ealieph and wizar who
seeks AL Kader's Shrine wonder if
there ever were any beggars at the
temple gates, and if there were, that
they were begging for capacity TO hold
the good things that are in store for
all the true followers Of the faith and
all the faithful who dare brave the
burning waste.
Noble Erixon has issued this impas-
stoned plea to his Mobiles, ooh Follow
ers of the Prophet. i'll does it become
the seekers for the Shrine TO present
flat fronts to Allah, Bid all who seek
enter and eat, first and last; soon and
long, that it may be said of you as of
Al Rashied, 'He came to my tent and
his garments hung in folds; he left and
his girdle stuck out like the crescent of
the Prophet Is mosque. " To the un-
ininitiated. it looks like those of the
candidates that escape the wild animals
are going to dig their own doom with
their teeth. Though the committee and
the doctors are at outs, the local be-
douians are whispering to the refresh
ment committee " Al Kodesh', which
in English means "more eats"

There is a Coal Trust.

New York, June 2S.AEvidence tend
ing to show that the so-called soft coal
trust, whose members are now on trial
in the federal court here, conspire to
fix prices to the British admiralty, was
introduced today.
An extract of letter from one of the
alleged trusts operators loan agent
was read into the record which suggest
ed it would be better to close the coal
ing stations at Hampton Roads than
cut prices.
These facts developed in the court Is
probe of the bunker coal situation. Bun
ker coal is ship coal, used in the Amer
lean and British navies.
Chairman W. w. Willett of the bun
ker coal committee of the alleged
trust, testified that at conference
here November IL, 1916, gentleman IS
agreement was made to raise the price
of bunker coal from $3.50 a ton to SIS
for foreign trade, including the British
admiralty and British merchant ship
ping.
Agreed on Prices.
Evidence tending to show an agree
ment relative to the price of coal to
the British admiralty in violation of
the Sherman antitrust law was enter
ed into at this meeting, was introduced
in the form of a letter from J. A. Rem
han, an operator, to Lambert Brothers,
limited of London. The letter said in
part:
~ have cabled you that the price
of bunker coal next year will be So
trimmings additional as usual.
cit has simply reached the point
where standard United States coal ship
pers have got to come together and
not pay any attention to the yellow
dog.
cit would be better to close the coal
ing station at Hampton Roads than to
cut prices"
The "yellow dog is supposed to re-
fer to the independent operators who
cut prices.
A mass of eorroboratory correspond
ence and cables was introduced in
connection with this situation, tending
to show that the operators arbitrarily
fixed prices to suit themselves and
forced their agents to put through the
advances.

CHARITY 5mAkLs EDWARDS.

Charity makes for slaves, towards
and sycophants," said Mother Jones"
Of Colorado mine field fame, recently.
Her words are true.
Men cheat their employees out of
what is their just due and become rich
and when they have accumulated mil
lions they pose as "philanthropists"
and endeavor to perpetuate their
names by giving money for libraries
or charities" or Christian CD asso-
Citations.
Instead of being great philanthopists,
these men, in many cases, are simply
thieves who really ought to be in
prison for having robbed their fellow
men.
No class has suffered more from the
"philanthropies" of these rich thieves
than the colored people and their ne
farlous work has been aided by so
called colored leaders who have taken
the role of public mendicants and have
begged for money to organize jimcrow
institutions and thus prevent their own
class from securing their rights as
American citizens.
The product of the segregated insti-
tuition Is usually crop Of young col.
ored people with slavish instincts;
cr1nging towards, servile sycophants.
Great God deliver the people from
such charity and give them justice.
