JUDGE ROBERT A. GREER
DIES In TEXAS HOME

The first to hear the call to the life

profession, was Robert Autry Greer, So

Judge J, M. Greer, of Memphis, who
died after brief illness at his home

riciNr, Hal w Greer, of Laredo, and
D'Edward Greer, of Houston, survive,
Judge Greer, of Memphis. was the only
OF the trio surviving unabel to attend
the funeral, which was held in Beau
mont Friday afternoon.
Robert Greer, known also as Judge
Greer In Texas, was a native of Holly
Springs, Miss. He was born in 1854,
ana spent his boyhood in Marshall
and DeSoto counties, Mississippi. In
1875 he went to Corsicana, Tex, and
later removed to Beaumont in the prac-
tee of law. He was elected to the
Texas legislature several times, having
been a member OF both houses of that
body.
Beside his brothers, a daughter, Mary,
survives. She recently married a prom
inent lawyer in Wichita Falls, Tex.

MINERS AND OPERATORS,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS <

To The News Seimitar:
The writer read with interest inquiry
from party In Mississippi regarding the
coal situation which was answered in
your editorial OF Dec. 8, and wish to
say that the editorial was very enlght-
ening as far as II went.
As a nonbiased citizen there are a few
other facts not brought out yet that we
would like to know. We note that you
state the miners were given a certain
per cent increase last year, and that the
price Of coal was raised to point where
the operators received larger proper
ton than the advance in wages.
What we would like to know is: Has
allowance been made for the increase
in cost of machinery, the increase in
cost of maintenance, increase In cost of
taxes to the operators? Also we would
like to know does the operator pay for
the stripping Of the ground, keeping up
the tunnels, handling the extra dirt not
considered coal, separate and aside from
that allowed the miner for mining the
coal?
The writer thinks If the public had
all these facts before them they would
have chance to form an unbiased
opinion Of the true conditions OF the
coal situation, Yours very truly,
