Miners and law in Johnson City and city crossing debate
A column discusses the Johnson City mining tragedy with seven more miners dead, the value of miners’ lives, and the public demand for severe punishment. It also defends the city council's stance on maintaining the South Main Street crossing watchman system with an electric bell, arguing against excessive railroad costs and for public safety. The piece notes community interest in the Marian Parker case and praises local school efforts refurbishing toys by Junior high students under Mr. Borden and Miss Hildred McDonald.
