Davie (white) a fireman in the employ of the same company. Davie was firing a pistol out the door to frighten some colored boys who had just left the bar room, when Watson, of whose presence he did not know, stepped into the doorway, and received the ball in his temple. Davie was much distressed by the accident, and at once went to the home of Sheriff E. M. Jones and surrendered himself, informing the officer of what had occurred. A Coroner’s jury was empanelled on Sunday morning by Justice John B. Tuggle, and after a full investigation a verdict was returned, holding the shooting to have been accidental and exonerating Davie.

Student Name Brooke Royer Summary The Committee on Roads discusses the proposed bill for segregated streetcars by “negro-haters.” White legislators argue that it is the responsibility of the conductor to assign seats and keep them as segregated as possible. Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP19020308.1.2&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Government and Politics Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Mr. Caton of Alexandria seems to be suffering from a severe attack of Negrophobia. He offered a bill providing separate street-cars for white and colored persons and his measure is unpopularly known as the “Jim Crow” streetcar bill. All of the street-car interests in the state combined and fought the proposition. The result is that a compromise was effected and the Committee on Roads has unanimously reported a bill providing that the conductor shall assign seats to passengers and as far as possible keep the races separate. How this is to be done in an open street-car is a proposition which would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer. In other words, the legislation upon the subject with which these Negro-haters intend to encumber our statute books enables the street-car companies to do as they please about the matter. It is unfortunate that race prejudice has become so rampant that it is deemed necessary to yield even in this respect to the prejudice. Viewed from any stand-point, the measure is an abomination, although the colored folks of Virginia “do not care a fig” as to what these people do. They have nullified and trampled upon their own laws. They have usurped the power of the people. They have oppressed as in every conceivable fashion until they are well-nigh ready to order us off the face of the earth. Well, we don’t propose to get off. We shall protest and protest. We shall agitate and agitate. We shall never willingly submit; but wait for that time when the funeral director comes around to these Negro-haters doors and carry them out to the surface of the earth where they will be placed on a level with the Negroes, who have died before, while their souls will take its flight to the realms that know no racial discrimination, for the hell-fire of the wicked destroys all colors, so it is said and the voice of the white man is similar in every respect to that of the much despised Negroes. Let us take courage. On with your “Jim Crow” Cars! On with your acts of oppression! The Negro, proud of his manhood, defiant in his courage, and powerful in the possession of true religion, will be with you to the end. Polite and progressive, determined and aggressive, he will yet win a place in the history of the world and emblazon his name in the Temple of Fame, unmarred by the persecution to which he is now being subjected.

Item Type Article Image Yes URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP19020726.1.8&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Business and Industry Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound President Mitchell's plan adopted by National Convention. Public appeal for $1,000,000 Assessment levied on members now at work will raise $300,000 a week. Soft coal men will violate no contracts. Indianapolis, Ind., July 21.-- The national convention of the United Mine Workers of America adjourned Saturday afternoon after unanimously adopting the plan offered by President Mitchell for raising a fund of $300,000 a week to aid the striking anthracite miners. A few changes were made is Mitchell's plan by the special committee, but they relate only to the method of assessment. The committee's report was as follows: First--That the national secretary treasury of the United Mine Workers be authorized to appropriate $50,000 from the funds of the national treasurer for the benefit of the districts 1, 7 and 9 (anthracite districts). Second--That all districts and subdistricts and local unions be asked to donate whatever they can afford for the support of the strike. Third-- That an assessment of 10 per cent. be levied on earnings of members where check systems is used and at other mines of $1 a man every week. This assessment is not to be made against members of union now on strike, but to commence when strikes are over. Fourth-- The assessments to be paid direct by the local unions to Secretary Treasurer Wilson. Fifth-- That 25 per cent. be deducted from the salaries of all national district officers and organizers. Sixth-- That the assessment begin from July 16. Seventh-- That all contributions made by the national organization be distributed to the anthracite districts in the ratio shown by the last coal reports. Eighth-- That each local union be requested to aid as far as possible in securing work for men now on strike. In this connection the good offices of the American Federation of Labor will be requested. Ninth-- That an address be submitted to the American people. The smallest points of the address to the American people are as follows: The convention of the United Mine Workers hereby states the line of action which its members are determined to pursue. The coal miners of the country recognize the marvelous industrial progress of the country during the last decade, but our labor has produced the foundation for most of this wealth by producing the coal which has made the progress possible. But when the miners examine the paltry pittance they receive as recompense for the labors and dangers they undergo they feel that they are being dealt with unjustly in payment for so much labor and so much sacrifices. The combinations of capital are so powerful that individuals are helpless and experience shows that when capital combines labor must unite. The grievances of the miners have forced them to organize, not to take from the operators what belongs to them, but to receive better treatment and fair remuneration for their labor. For five years the miners have lived up to the letter and spirit of every contract into which they have entered and do not intend to violate them now. The miners believe that the best interests of the country are opposed to a general strike of the coal miners, and, while they feel that in the present fight their union may be destroyed, nothing can compel them to break their agreements. The miners request the American people to bring such pressure to bear upon the anthracite operators and anthracite railroads as will compel them to submit to arbitration. The expenses of the miners call for a contribution of $1,000,000 per month from sources outside the union, and with this amount the miners are confident they can win the anthracite strike.

Lewis, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church and to the members of the same and to all others whom it may concern: I desire to state after a careful examination of the allegations made by me against the Rev. Z. D. Lewis in the Law & Equity Court of the city of Richmond in the suit instituted by me for $10,000 damages against the said Z. D.

The principal speaker was Dr. Lawrence Flick, president of the Free Hospital for Consumptives at Philadelphia. Dr. Flick said that consumption could be cured. There are in the United States, he said, from 300,000 to 400,000 people afflicted with the disease, and the deaths from consumption reached 150,000 a year. He expressed the opinion that if $400,000,000 could be secured the disease could be entirely wiped out in 15 years. He stated that in Philadelphia since 1884, when the people began to be instructed in the treatment of consumption, the death rate from the disease had fallen off 33 per cent. In the last few years the consumption death rate in London has been reduced 50 per cent. Dr. Flick explained that the method used in the treatment of consumption to effect a cure was forced feeding, plenty of air and exercise.

Washington, Jan 8.-- The debate on the Nicaragua canal bill in the house was opened in lively fashion yesterday by Mr. Hepburn, chairman of the interstate and foreign commerce committee, which reported the bill. For two hours he held the floor, replying to a volley of questions concerning the recent offer of the Panama Canal Company to sell its property and franchises to the United States for $40,000,000. The interest in the debate centered almost entirely in this new phase of the subject. Mr. Hepburn maintained that the alleged new offer of the Panama company was part of the play of delay. All his utterances along that line were liberally applauded. He pointed out what he claimed was the suspicious circumstance that the Panama company held out for $109,000,000 until it was decided before the holiday recess to consider the Nicaragua bill, and then suddenly dropped the price to $40,000,000. Mr. Morris, of Minnesota, gave notice that at the proper time he would offer an amendment to authorize the president, if he could procure the property and rights of the Panama company for $40,000,000, if concessions could be procured from Colombia, and if the Walker commission so recommended, to purchase and proceed to complete the Panama canal. In the Senate. The first notes of the contest between the Nicaragua and Panama routes for the isthmian canal were heard in the senate yesterday. Mr. Morgan offered and secured the adoption of a resolution which indicated his purpose to have the committee on interoceanic canals inquire into the relations alleged to exist between the transcontinental railroad companies of the United States and Canada and the Panama Canal company. In explanation of the resolution Mr. Morgan declared that the alleged relations were a “wicked monopoly” which already had cost the people of the Pacific coast millions of dollars. The relations involve the control by the Panama Canal company of the Panama Railroad company and the agreement existing between certain railroads of the United States and the Pacific Mail Steamship company.
