DECLARES POPULAR IDEA OF
GOLD ROLLING INTO PoCK-
ETS Is MISTAKE.
sTATIsTICIAN OF U. S. GEOIoGI-
CAL SURVEY TALKS AT MIN:
ING CONGRESS.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2S.-The
anthracite coal operator has a hard
time making even slender profit
on his investment; the popular idea
that he simply sits back and guides
golden stream into his Golfers Is a
dcluAon, according to Edward W.
Parker, statiSticlan of the United
States Geological Survey. And the
IbitUminOus coal operator makes oven
less money. Mr.. Parker said In his
address today before the American
Mining congress IN session here.
Therefore, Mr.. Parker added, II
anyone is robblng the people on tic
price OF coal the rODbcr is not the,so-
called cUul baron but somebody else.
In fact, lie said, the coal mining In
dustry is almost demoralized In the
United States and the dividing line
between profit and loss Is very faint.
Citing statistics to uphold. his, con-
trntiun, Mr.. Parker said, in part:
Returns Are Small.
"Thcrc Is a somewhat general tnl-
preston that the mining Of coal, both
anthracite and bltuminous, Isya
highly lucrative vocation nd-sthat

there have been smaller returns 'for

been put into 1t, than In the business
OF coal mining.
1.-THE United States census report
for 1909, the only recent official stga
tistics relative to cost and valueS
available, shows that the value OF
the Pennsylvania anthracite produc-
ed in that year was $14S,95T5s4:;
The total gross expenses amounted TO +
$139,11O,444 from which should be
deducted $4,S64,S44 made up from
charges to miners for explosives, oil
and blacksmithing making the net
expenses $l34,245,60O.
"The total production In 1903
amounted to 72,215,27S long tons, 80
that the average value per ton for
the output in that year was s2.0s;
the average cost per ton was $1.SB;
and the net returns on the operations
for the year were s14,712,2s4, OF an I.
average Of twenty cents per ton.
This at first glance looks like q tar
return, but attention must be called
to the fact that the census figures Of
cost make no allowance for interest
of capital invested or borrowed ands
no oTsctting charges for mortiza"

BUSINESS MEN TO FROLIC.

The staid business men of Everett
are going to forget such things as bal
ances and credits and kick up their
heels like a herd of two-year-olds next
Wednesday evening in their quarters
in the Masonic Temple. The Com
mercial club has come to the con-
clusion that it hasn't been having
much fun lately and the lack is to be
met by one large time. The said b. m.
are going to kick over the traces and
it is whispered that a real, thrifty, ex-
citing cabaret entertainment is on the
program. Cabaret? Never saw one,
but those who have, have whispered
to the Journal scribe about pretty
girls, melodious voices, turkey dips
and tangoes and the like. Now we
are not saying that the Commercial
club is going to produce any such SEN
sational program as the mystic term
cabaret" signifies. In fact, we have
it on good authority that the program
will be quite the proper thing in de-
corum. There are cabarets and cabar-
cts and the coming show will be some
class and strictly respectable. But
take it from us DULL CARE will get
kicked out the window if he dares to
show up.

BARRIERS BALL TONIGHT AT
MASONIC HALL.

This is the night! There will be
things doing in Masonic Temple this
December evening when the Everett
BARRIERS and their friends gather to
dance the hours away, Waltz, two-step,
three-step, tango-well, that's a deep
dark secret. Wagner's orchestra will
harmonic and the Ladies' Label
League will have charge of the floor,
and with such a combination you sim
ply can't afford not to be among those
present. And where could you find a
better cause than the one for which
this dance is being given? The unions
need a new home and next year they
plan to start the new Labor Temple.
The BARRIERS are not going to be be-
hind any other union in the matter of
raising funds and that's where the pro-
ceeds are going. Come along, and if
you don't have a good time-no, you
won't get your money back, but you'll
be put down for a natural born crouch.
1t will be no place for sorrow at the
Masonic Temple tonight. One large
simoleon will admit you and you can
bring along all the ladies you can in
duce to accompany you.

CONVENTION
CALL IS OUT
THIRTEENTH ANNUAL SEES
SION OF STATE Fedora
TION TO MEET IN RAYMOND
JANUARY 19-TO BE AN I'M
PORTANT SESSION.

The call is out for the thirteenth
annual convention of the Washington
State Federation of Labor, to be held
in Raymond, beginning January 19.
The coming convention will be one Of
the most important ever held as it
will consider the advisability of in
itiating several badly needed labor
laws during the coming campaign.
After eight or more years of unceas-
ing effort on the part of organized
labor and other reform forces, direct
legislation is now a factor in the po-
litical activities of Washington's elec-
torate, and future legislation will have
to stand the acid test of direct popu-
lar approval or disapproval. Unions
should make special effort to see that
they are represented at Raymond by
full delegations. One or two Everett
unions have already elected delegates
and it is desirable that all local unions
affiliated should send men to the com
ing convention.
