Mass Meeting on Coal Relief Fails to Rally Volunteers
A Broad way Christian church gathering aimed to recruit volunteers for the Princeton coal mine to ease local families’ suffering. Fewer than a half dozen miners answered, with Tom Trice and Oscar Mossman among those offering services and concerns about who should be admitted. The meeting, led by Mayor A Lynbart, heard calls from J B Fagan and others on fuel shortages for city schools and public institutions, but momentum waned as questions about government orders and volunteer eligibility lingered.
