"SHORTAGE OF COAL
DUE TO RAILROADS"
EXPERT DECLARES.

Columbus, Ohio-Thc shortage OF
coal and high price OF same is the re
suit Of gross mismanageinent and in
competence OF railroads, says ]. W.
Dawson, president OF the Kanawha
Coal Association, Charleston, w. Va,
in an interview published in a local
paper.
The coal operator had just returned
from an investigation OF the coal short
age and the abnormal prices for coal
that exist throughout Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan. He said the present
practice OF railroads of charging ship
pers one dollar day for each day a
car stands unloaded on sidetrack. and
Tor the road owning the car to pay 45
cents day, places premium on the
misuse Oi cars by every railroad in the
country.
IF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the State Public Service Com
mission and the commerce bodies oi all
OF these States would concentrate their
efforts in requiring the largest railways
to treat fairly the smaller railways
which serve the coal fields, and require
III railways to pay each other not less
than one dollar per diem for foreign
cars while on their tracks. and require
them to move freight with some degree
OF promptncss, the whole coal situation
would be solved in ten days or two
weeks.
II notice the New York Central pro
poses to invest $l5,OOO,O 900 in additional
freight equipment which is most alb
Surd and should not be permitted until
railways so improve their methods as
to move the equipment they now have
III these suggestions were adopted
the price OF coal would be normal and
every consumer would have all OF the
fuel required"

TRACTION STRIKE COSTLY

New Nork-Scptcmbcr financial re-
ports, issued by the New York Railways
company and the Intcrborough Rapid
Transit company should convince the
stockholders OF these corporations that
union smashing ventures are costly
propositions.
During September the New York Rail
ways company carried ll,0l0,300 pasSen-
gers, . decrease of l2,j25,0l5, or more
than 80 per cent, from the number car
ried in the corresponding month OF 1919
The passenger revenues were only SI3S,
24s, a decrease OF S6OS,O65.
The report makes no mention OF the
cost Of the army of StrikcbrcakcrS, the
double time paid them, housing and feed
ing. md the large number Of private de
tcctivcS employed.
The strike started last September and
was caused by the companies attempting
to force employees to sign individual con
tracts. Every effort has been made tc
minimize the strike and local newspapers
persist in referring to it as "the recent
strike"

WHAT IMMIGRATION SHOWS

WaShington.-Thc bureau of immigra-
tion has just issued its monthly bulletin
showing the number of immigrants that
arrived for September. The number is
36,30S, quite reduction as compared
with July. which showed 81 ,40S. The
largest number from any one country
come from Italy, 5,779. Greece is a close
second with 5,44S, while England is third
with 1862 The number of French, Irish,
and Hebrews is grouped closely under
the 5000 mark
During July there were 1884 mmi-
grants from Italy; 1907 from Greece,
while England supplied us with 9Sl3
over 80 per cent greater than for Sep
tcmbcr. The French. Irish, Mcxicans,
ing total of 26,l3s. From the same
countries came only 9,493 for September,
l6,14j less than for July.
| The total number of immigrants reach
ing this country since government sta
tisticS have been kept, ending July 30,
is -, 2,6j2, $50. The smallest number of
immigrants came during the year of 1929,
and was 1854. and the largest during
/ 1907, reaching the abnormal total of L.
2S5.3i9, many of them no doubt being
! assisted ana allured mere by exaggerated
and misleading statements of the steam
! ship and railroad companies, big corpor-
ations coal and metaliferous mining
companies.
The number of aliens debarred during
| 1916 for various causes aggregated 49,
S67. Two thousand and eighty of that
number come under the head of con
tract labor" and 1888 are designated as
likely to become a public nuisance.
During the month of July l,94s were
debarred. and l,552 were sent back dur
ing September for various causes.
OF the l7l0s MeXicans who came
across the border during 1916, no less
than 4,979 were returned, over % pei
cent. 1t is evident our immigrant in
spcctors do not find MeXicans very de
sirable class of immigrants.
During 1915 the number of immigrants
reached 326,7O0, while there were onl,
29S, ,S26 admitted in 1916, a reduction OF
27,S74 which was no doubt due to the
stringent restrictions enforced by the
countries involved in war.

WORKERS CRITIC IS FLAYED

San Francisco, Cal.-The Arrogance
and nefficiency OF Labor is term
now used by smart writers who itch
to attract the attention OF financial in
terests and large employers OF labor.
The latest to apply this term is the
financial writer in a well-known maya
zine, who is answered as follows by the
editor OF the San Francisco Bulletin
while the financial writer was work
ing on his article he probably sat at
wcll-bult desk in a taSteully- furnished
room in building whose construction
required the skill and conscience OF hun
dreds or even thousands OF trained men.
When he had finished he may have gone
to lunch in an automobile whose pedi
gree runs back to mine, forest, rubber
plantation, steel mill, and textile mill,
over well-laid streets, which drew heav-
lily on human labor for their cOnstruc
ton, and he certainly ate food brought
and prepared for him through the toll
and talent OF countless men whom he
never saw. No matter where he went
he could not have escaped from depend
encc upon the highly efficient labor Of
other men. The very comfort OF his
existence, or OF the existence OF any
man who is even moderately we'll off, is
primary proof that a vast amount OF
difficult and disagrecable work is being
done every day in the year and every
hour in the day. The only man who has
a right to speak OF the arrogance and
inefficiency OF Labor is he whose own
method of earning a living is as hard
and painful as are any OF the services
which he hires others to do for him. In
