OPERATORS PROFIT
 BY MINERS STRIKE
Increase Wages Si,000,000 and Col lect $13,i50,0O0 by Increase in Price to Consumers
 Coal at Premium.

Washington, March 2.-Hard coal companies increased the wages of their employes Si,000,O00 after the strike agreement of last May and increased the price of anthracite to consumers S13, 100000, according to a report based on an investigation by the bureau of labor submitted to the house yesterday.
 The report submitted by Secre- tary Nagel Is the result of an in- vestigation conducted in response to a house resolution asking for the elements of cost and profit includ- ed in the present high prices of anthracite.
 Of the more than Si3,000,000 gained by the operators after the strike agreement, more than Si ,900,- GOO waeJ3eriVed from a general in- crease in prices and about S2,000,00C from the suspension of April anC May discounts, while, in addition, g | limited number of operators are re- ported to have recovered" large sums through the sales of coal a premiums made possible by tho shortage of shipments incident tC | the strike.
 The increase in wages, however represents a raise of only s to ll cents a ton in the cost of coal pro- 1 duction.
 The report shows that all the operators, most of the dealers anC the miners all gained by the in. crease following the wage agree ment and that the consuming public alone paid high prices without an! compensation.

A Correct Watch and
 Good Work

Some one has said that if you keep in a good humor uA- til ten o'clock in the morning that you will be cheerful and happy all day.
 Likewise the man who is on time until ten o'clock in the morning is pretty sure to be on time throughout the day. No- thing will help you toward success so much as an accurate watch. Nothing will hinder you so much as one too fast or too slow. If your watch needs repairing or regulating, and all watches do at least once a year, bring it to us, the charge is nothing compared to the satisfaction it means to you and the time it saves.

CONC|ENCE TOBE
 WILSON'S GUIDE
Courage, He Asserts, Is the First Consideration in Public Life -EXpediency Is to Be
 Ignored.

Trenton. \. J..March 2.-WOOdrOw Wilson reached Trenton from New York yesterday in a drizzling rain, drove in a one-horse cab from the station 10 the Statehouse and there turned over to James Fielder, presi- dent of the senate, the governor ship of New Jersey. For three days until he becomes president of the United States-Mr. Wilson will be a private citizen.
 As Mr. Wilson entered the build ing crowds of thousands cheered.
 Almost hidden by flowers, Sena- tor Fielder was awaiting him. Back in the governors office there were more flowers for the president elect. sent from every section of the state.
 Crowds Blocked His Car.
 The ceremony was brief. Senator Fielder took the oath as acting governor-his official title will be such until his successor, elected next fall. takes Office-and a round of cheers was given and it was over.
 Together the old governor and the new one made their way to the street, where they entered a motor car to take them 10 luncheon. The crowd surged around the machine i'll such numbers that it was Wedged fast. Police cleared a path.
 Governor Wilson said:
 T cannot pretend that 1 am not moved by very deep emotions to- day. had not expected to say anything It would, indeed. have been my preference not to say any thing. because there are some feel ings that are too deep for words and . that seem to be rhrapened by being l put into words.
 His Love for New Jersey
 T already loved the state of New Jersey when I became it's governor, but that love has been deepened and !. intensified the last two and a half ! years. l now feel a sense of identi- ! 1ication with the people of this . state and the interests of this . state, which have seemed to en- larga my own personality and . which has been the greatest privi- | lege of my life.
 "Therefore. in handing the seal . of the state to the new governor, I | want to utter these words of . poignant regret: That 1 cannot serve this great state directly any longer. I wish for the moment that the travelling from New Jersey were less facila than it is, and yet I have the greatest feeling of confidence in the man to whom I am about to hand this seal. 1 have been aSsoci- | ated with him with unusual inti- macy of counsel I have found in | him qualities of honesty and | courage which commend men more | than any other qualities do in pub lie life

fortune and the country had given him, and declared that he expected to return to Washington in the fu- ture to sit. and chat with his news paper friends over the doings of another administration which, like his own, might make mistakes.
 Always at the Pie Counter"
 It was an unusual speech, one of tha frankest those who had ob- served the presidents addresses closely for years, had heard or read.
 T have never wanted an office but I have been in office since l was 2i," said Mr. Taft. II have served on the bench, in the Philip pines, in the war department and in the presidency. There never has been time that 1 didn't have my plate up at the right time and that office didn't fall on my plate.
 Now, gentleman, after that record. still in health, do you sup pose that I regret anything; that l have an occasion for kicking and squealing? What kind of man would I be if I did, with the mea- sure all on my side?

Doesn't Like to Work.

My sin is an indisposition to la bor as hard as I might; disposition to procrastinate and a disposition to enjoy the fellowship of others more than 1 ought.
 T hope to leave a pleasant flavor with you because I want you to know that I would be grateful to renew our friendships. l am not of a mind to treat defeat as exile from Washington, and I expect to come back here and sit down with you again and talk with you about some others in office with a certain sort of sympathetic satisfaction"

Debate was limited and the house passed the bill with a wide margin over the necessary two-thirds vote, as the senate had done.

Will Try tO Repay.

Now, I am looking to see if l can't repay the country and fortune for the good things given me, and if I can't work in the cause of good government.
 T think that one of the mental process that helps mankind is that ability once in while to sit quiet and take stock and see how the world has treated him. It is difficult for me not to feel very grateful for what has happened to me. When I look back over my 55 years of life and see how every good thing has come to me and very little bad. it seems to me that l ought to brace myself against what might come in the future to offset the good luck that has attended me hpfOra

 The senate passed it over the Ve- 10 by a vote of 63 to 21, and the bill now becomes a law. Only one other time in the last i5 years has congress oVerriden a presidents veto. That was when the Rainey river dam bill was passed over President Roosevelt's disapproval:

Afraid of States Rights.

President Taft based his veto al most entirely upon the ground that the bill was unconstitutional in that it virtually delegated to the states control of interstate traffic in liquor, when. he held, that control was vested solely in congress.
 Attorney General Wickersham had given an opinion also holding the bill unconstitutional, and that the president forwarded to the sen ate yesterday with his veto mes sage

wilson OPPOSED:
TO single BANK
CURRENCY plan

Washington, Oct. 24.-Whether
there will be one federal reserve bank
with branches throughout the United
States or several banks, as the admin.
istration bill provides, promises to be
the chief issue in the final currency
reform fight in the senate committCe
that will open on Monday.
Hearings of the committee will be
concluded today and the committee
members will begin Monday to at
tempt to agree upon a revision OF the
Glass bill that will prove acceptable
to the president and the house.
The president is emphatically op.
posed to the central bank plan as en-.
dorsed Informally BY many members
Of the senate committee. He reiter-
ated that the GLASS; Owen bill with a
syste Of twelve regional reserve banks
related only through their functions
with one federal reserve board sitting
at Washington. is admirably suited
to the needs of the country.
1t was apparent last night that the
course of the several members of the
committee probably would be deter
mined finally by the attitude OF the
president and other party leaders as
to the expediency of the single bank
plan.
President Wilson discussed the sit.
uation with several senator's, making
it clear that he didn't believe in the
senate commi+i.ee's attempt to dis
turb the foundation OF the bill that
passed the house to the extent of re-
modelling it to provide for the single
bank plan.
H. Parker Willis is the chief wit
ness Friday, didn't endorse the single
bank idea but suggested other
changes.
