supreme COURT
HITS FRESH BLOW
At COAL FIRMS
Decision Gives Interstate
Commerce Commission
90 More Power.

Following on the recent decision Of
the Supreme Court. in which It struck
at the 6S per cent contracts by which
raiiroad.owned coal companies in the
anthracite field Of Pennsylvania had
purchased for all time the output OF the
Independent mines, another blow was
hit by the Government today at the big
railroad and coal interests which
dominate the anthracite region.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
sent out blanks requiring the roads In
the anthracite region and their affiliat-
ed coal companies to report In exhaus-
tive fashion on questions relating to
rates, practices, rules and regulations
governing the transportation Of an
thracite coal.
The inquiry In realty Is aimed at the
question Of rates. The commission Is
going deeply into whether there 10 dis
crimins tion In rates BY the roads In
favor Of their affiliated coal companies
snd against the independents. The
commission has long been dissatisfied
region with reference to rates. .
Puts Ban On Discrimination.
Now that the 6 per cent contracts are
declared illegal. the commission is In q
much improved situation. Under those
contracts It was possible to disguise
rates nd cover up rebates. From now
en- the commission intends that the
roads in the coal fields shall deal fairly
With the Independent coal companies
and that there shall be no dis.
crimination. Rates must be published
and be open and above board.
The roads ordered to report with ref
erence to sales and operation OF af-
filiated coal companies. with reference
to rates and like matters are the New
Jersey Central. the Delaware and Hud-
York. susquehanna and western, the
the New York. Ontario. and Western.
the Pennsylvania. the Northern Central,
and the Reading. Ten great coal com.
panies affiliated with these roads and
more or less controlled by them, are
covered by the inquiry.
Nay Aid Public.
When the Supreme Court recently
annulled the s5 per cent contracts, the
railroad managers and managers Of
the railroad owned coal companies
predicted increase In price Of coal. II
the independents are given q square
deal In the matter OF rates, there
would appear to be little reason for
increase In coal prices.
From the standpoint Of the coal con-
sumer, the inquiry which the Inter-
state Commerce Commission purposes
to press is. therefore, important.

public's money Jack Johnson no
longer exists.
The promoter staging Johnson
would sign a voluntary bankrupt
cy petition. He would be Stunned
by men who support boxing. No
decent man would put cent to
see him fight anybody.
Six weeks ago this negro scorn-
fully refused to box for less than
$4,000. Before his exposure,
Johnson had signed a contract for
$4,000 to fight Langford and
McVey in Australia. Hugh Nc
Intosh cancelled this when John
sons disgraceful deeds became
public.
The ring has been guilty of
many a shady, even criminal
transaction, but it is refreshing to
note the unanimity with which it
bars Johnson.
1t is a big, white mark to the
credit of our dollar-mad sporting
men that they unity in resenting
the aspersion cast upon American
women by Johnson.
So, with Johnson out, there are
plenty of decent heavyweights in
the world. Bombardier Wells,
champion of England, is one. Al
'Palzer, conqueror of Wells, is
another. Little Sam Langford,
the giant killer, is another.
If Wells weighed 20 pounds
more he would be the peer of any
boxer. He has everything a
champion needs save weight
properly distributed.

ing. He will never be a Jim Cor
bett, Bob Fitzsimmons or Kid
Mccoy, but there is no reason
why he should not be the reincar-
nation of Terry McGovern and
Battling Nelson.
He is a giant in the bright flush
of youth. A c1ean-living, virile,
man-mountain, weighing go
pounds, with six feet three inches
of dynamic activity and force.
He possesses the undaunted
courage of Nelson, with the ire
sistible, awe-inspiring rushing of
Terrible Terry. He loves to get
close to an opponent and ex-
change pile-driving blows until
one drops for the fatal ten.
Imagine this clean-linbed boy,
his great barrel-like chest housing
enormous heart and lung power;
tremendous shoulders with fail
like arms, muScled like a Vulcan;
a thick, colurnn-like neck support
ing head notable for its bulldog
jaw and mop of, blonde hair,
throwing his great bulk across
the ring with the seeep of a light
weight-and you visualize Al
PaIzer in action.
Palzer has everything to make
a champion. He has the size. He
has, lead clean country-boy life.
He has marvellous physical pow
.ers. He reeuperates in the way
that made Fitzsimmons a terror.

Under the terms of the bill draft

however. bears three-fourths the ex-

that it is optional with both enploye
and employer as to whether they
