Women Excavate for Church.

Fifty Hutchinson women began the
digging of the excavation for the
South Hutchinson Methodist church.
The congregation of the church since
it's organization has held its meetings
in the town hall. Through the medium
of ice cream suppers and oyster sup
pers and small subscriptions, the
women of the church raised money
enough to pay for the actual construc-
ton work, but not enough to pay
laborers to dig the basement. So they
formed a pick and shovel brigade.

The coal operators of Illinois and In
diana chafe under the antitrust laws.
They had a combination once, which
was broken up, 70 regulate the price of
their product, and they wish to be al
lowed to recombne. They are consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of asking for leg
islative permission. They say that the
competition which has been forced on
them is demoralizing the business and
throwing it into the hands of few
through the merger Of companies. The
small ones would retain their independ-
ent existence, it is alleged, if operators
were allowed to regulate the supply by
the demand and maintain stable prices.
The operators do not seem to see the
logical sequel of their project If per-
mission were given them to eliminate
competition and establish uniform prices
which seemed reasonable to them, it
would be the duty Of the state to see,
for the protection of consumers, that
the prices actually were reasonable. 1t
could not permit consumers to be at
the mercy of any combination of pro-
ducers.
The state regulates railroad freight
rates on coal and other articles, but it
does not wish to engage in the bust
ness of regulating the price of soft coal
or any other commodity. Nor, indeed,
would the coal operators relish the idea
of being subject to state supervision in
the matter Of prices. 1t is better for
all parties that competition should be
the regulator, If given free play there
would be a scale Of prices much more
satisfactory 10 the consumer than any
scale which a combination of operators
would get up. They must not be made
exempt from the provisions Of the anti
trust laws.
