taking money out OF West Virginia

ON Blue SKY LAW
Issues Bulletin Containing lnterpre-
tation of This Much Discussed

In the bulletin of the state auditors
department. Of West Virginia for this
month the following Interpretation is
given of the Blue Sky Law"
1T will be noticed that this law ap-
plies only to stocks or securities be
ing offered for sale by agents in
West Va. 1t cannot Apply TO solicita-
ton or sales from other states by
mail or telegraph. 1t does not apply
to stocks or securities of q West Vir-
ginia corporation sold outside Of West
Virginia
ITO bring an agent within the scope
of the law stocks or securities must
be offered to the West Virginia pub
lie by him while in West Virginia.
The terms Of the sale are immaterial-
Whether the securities be given away
in connection with some other trans
action, exchanged for property or ser.
vices, or sold for cash, the result is
the same.
The law is'not avoided by the aab-
solute purchase of securities by an in
dividual, company, etc. from the issu-
ing company, if he purchases with the
idea of promoting the securities, that
is taking them as temporary owner.

example, bankers often purchase an
entire issue for the purpose of resell.

has read the rule Of reason into the
Sherman act in a series Of decisions

firmed by declining bank returns and
frequently unsatisfactory reports of

United States Miners.

The total number of men employea
in the coal mines of the United states
in 1911, according to the United states
geological survey, was fz2,539, Oh
whom 172,5S5 were employed in the
anthracite mines of Pennsylvania ana
549,750 in the bituminous and ignite
mines. The anthracite miners aver
aged more working time than the
bitumnous miners, working 246 days,
as against 211 days for the bituminous
miners.
The average production for each
man employed was 524 tons in the
anthracite mines-an exceptionally
large tonnage-and 73sAtons in the
bituminous mines. The average daily
production for each man employed
was 2.13 short tons in the anthracite
and $50 tons in the bituminous mines.
In most of the bituminous mines of
the United States the eight hour
working day prevails. In 1911, out of
a total of 549,750 employees in the
bituminous coal mines, 330045 worked
in mines that We're operated eight
hours a day: 57,3o1 worked in mines
