AN THRUST LAW
HALTS COAL MEN
WOULD LIKE TO GET AFTER
MAN WHO CUTS PRICES,
BUT FEAR RESULTS.

The shadow of the antitrust law
hung over the convention OF the
Michigan and Indiana Retail Coal
Dealers association in the business
session. Monday morning. and respect
for 1t affected the action taken. Bat
tie Creek dealers complained that a
Detroit dealer, w. ]. Scully, has es-
tablished branch yards and Is under.
selling them. The advantage for the
Detroiter lies In his owning mines
The Battle Creek merchants ap-
pealed 10 their association TO take
some action. to prevent this price cut
ting. but the convention decided that
any resolution along those lines would
infringe on Uncle Sans laws.
Resolutions protesting against al
legged railroad abuses were adopted.
The dealers went to Buffalo Wednee-
day night, by boat, and from there
journeyed to Wilkes Barre TO view
the mines. They get back Sunday to
Detroit and from here dispense to
their homes.

STARTLING STATISTICS CON-
PILED BY FLORENCE CRITTEN-
TON MISSION oFFlcERs-HoME
TRAINING is BLAMED.

The statistics compiled by the Off
GERS of the National Florence Critten.
ton mission. the annual conference OF
which is being held In Detroit, show
that OF the fallen girls who are taken
care Of In these institutions the largest
number comes from the servant girl
class, the second highest number from
homes and the third number from the
public schools.
People would be Mortified II they
knew the girls that come to us from
the best homes of the country to hide
their shame" said Mrs. Katherine A.
Seibert, OF Columbus, o., in the meet.
Ing Wednesday morning in the Cen.
trail Methodist church. College girls.
often graduates. come to us and are
cared for. This shows that misfortune
overtakes those In high places as we'll
as those in the lower walks OF life.
Then. too. II is appalling the number
OF little girls from the public schools
that we receive. | think 1t is not SO
much the fault OF the schools as the
home training. Parents neglect to
watch over and guard their young
girls. On the street. in the parks,
there are hordes OF boys and girls 60
ing about, unchaperoned. Their ruin
Is caused. | believe, by lack Of proper
discipline and surveillance. They
haven't the proper home training.
Parents cannot shift. this duty to
teachers.
There Is a growing laxity on the
cart OF parents In this regard. Chill
dren have no place for wholesome
amusement. They should have clean,
bright places In which TO play, and
should be guarded carefully. Were this
done, there would not be so much need
for the Florence Crittenton homes"
Some $4,000 girls were cared for In
the "a homes OF the organization dur.
ing the last year, and 10000 given tenn
porary relief II Is the contention Of
the workers in the missions that from
an economicand social as we'll as q re.
ligious standpoint, the work should be
supported. for girls who come to the
missions are taught to live better lives
and care for themselves. while. II left
to go the downward path. they eventu.
ally become a charge on the com
munity.
The sessions opened Tuesday even.
ing and will continue until Thursday
evening with both morning and even
Ing meetings.
