UPSHAW PREDICTS
PROSECUTION FOR
COAL PROFITEERS
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
RY THEODORE TTLLER

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. T.
After a conference here Friday aft
ernoon with officials of the depart
mAt of justice, Representative Will
liaX D. Upshaw, of the Atlanta dis
trict, issued the following statement:
investigation at the department
Of Justice brought out the fact that
as the result Of recent conferences
on the question Of high prices and
evident profteering on the part or
coal operators the federal trade COM
mission was asked to make an ex-
haustive investigation of the cost OF
production and the sky rocket prices
being charged, and on the basis OF
this information the department OF
Justice will make vigorous prose-
cution of profiteers.
"They have already secured
thirty odd indictments in West Vtr--
ginia, seventeen in Tennessee and
many others in coal mining sections.
1t is not conceived that the govern
ment has the right or power to Tx
the actual price of coal, but rather
to indicate what a fair price would
be, and as criminal law has two
fold purpose-the punishment of the
guilty and the restraining Of the
criminally inclined-it is hoped that
a truceless action on the part of the
government will have salutary eff
feet in protecting not only the in
dustrial, who are compelled to buy
coal in such large quantities, but
also the consuming and suffering

N. Holder, speaker of the house
of representatives, spoke here today
in the interests of his candidacy for
governor. He was greeted by a
large crowd and given an attentive
and enthusiastic hearing.
Mr.. Holder attacked Thomas W.

against those who do not agree with
him." He also paid his respects to
his other opponent, Clifford Walker

the Republican party has done moth

some things Mt that dinner.
At Yakima, Helena and Billings she
was heard by large audiences and re-
ceived with marked distinction.
When we see and hear this great
woman of courage pounding down the
great barrier of prejudice against the
race, we are amazed at her power and
eloquence and logic, and look around
about us and ask, where are the
men? What are they doing?"
Mrs. Talbert left Denver Tuesday

have the pleasure and gratifica-

really great women of our race who
are doing things in this little old world
of ours, but on last Monday evening

packed and jammed with an eager. en-
thusiastic and appreciative audience
to hear Mrs. Talbert of Buffalo,, n. Y,
deliver her famous address, "The Ne
gro's Right to World Citizenship"
After hearing this wonderful and elo-
auent woman in her forceful denun-
citation of the wrongs and injustices
against Il worthy and loyal race and
her masterful plea for Il fulfillment of
that world democracy for which our
boys so bravely fought and bled and
our women worked, starved and sac
rificed. we were remarkably reminded
of the late Frederick Douglass when
he, too, was arousing the nation
against that inhuman and cruel insti-
tution-Slavery.

MRS. MARY B. TALBERT.

Mrs. Talbert was cheered to the
echo when in her powerful speech she
recited the deeds of valor of our boys
in France, and then when she finished
the recital of the brutal treatment of
herself and Mrs. Curtis at the hands
of American white officers and how
these same officers treated our boys
more cruel than German prisoners the
audience wept and sad silence per-
vaded the entire church.
Truly, Mrs. Talbert is not only one
of the great women of America, but
of the world Fearless, able and loyal,
she is devoting her life in helping TO
uproot that poisonous prejudice that
exists in this country against her race
because of color.

spoke in San Diego, Cal, at the White

haps 5000 people, and to as large an
audience there before the n. A. A. G.
